The traditional past meets the modern present when you vacation in the exquisitely restored Villa Harmony 1885, nestled overlooking the North coast of the Greek island of Crete, set in the heart of the Aegean Sea. This unique residence was built in 1885 and was originally a merchant’s family summer holiday home, which has recently been lovingly transformed by his descendants, into the most luxurious three individual holiday accommodation spaces. The old stone buildings have retained their character and traditional architecture, which has been cleverly combined with modern technology, state-of-the-art appliances, and the most tasteful interior décor.

The property is surrounded by well-manicured lawns and verdant gardens, populated with ancient olive trees, and blossoming flowers and shrubs in season. The villa comes complete with on-site parking spaces, complimentary air conditioning, and Wi-Fi throughout. The interiors are breathtakingly beautiful, the original stone walls contrast with modern glass staircases, high wood beamed ceilings are paired with parquet flooring, original furniture sits adjacent to hand-crafted contemporary pieces, chandeliers and mirrors reflect the light, antiques and artefacts add old school charm, whilst ancestral photographs adorn the walls. The décor is cool and tranquil, crisp, clean, and whites, with shades of grey predominating, to give the villa a sophisticated and elegant feel.
