About this villa rental

Aletraki Country House – Feel the Real Crete.

Our bright and spacious 167m² home sleeps 8 to 10 guests, with four bedrooms each opening onto its own private deck surrounded by olive and pomegranate trees, and four bathrooms. Powered by solar energy, with a high-quality water filtration system and premium beds, every detail has been thoughtfully taken care of.


A place to breathe, wander, taste, and reconnect with the simple pleasures of life.
Welcome to Aletraki, a warm and spacious countryside home where the beauty of Crete surrounds you. Here, the sky feels wide open, the garden invites you to slow down, birdsong accompanies your mornings, and the changing seasons bring different fruits to the trees. It is a place to enjoy nature, find peace, and experience the authentic rhythm of Cretan life.

A Garden Without Chemicals,
Beneath the Blue Cretan Sky
Step outside and discover the open space that makes Aletraki so special. Wander among olive and pomegranate trees, enjoy the garden, breathe in the fresh countryside air, and listen to the birds. The garden is cared for without chemical sprays, allowing you to enjoy a more natural environment.
Depending on the season, the trees offer different fruits and little reminders of the generous nature of Crete.

Whether you prefer a quiet morning with a coffee, a leisurely afternoon outdoors, or an evening beneath the stars, this is a place where simple moments become special memories.
Walking Trails Begin at Your Door
For those who love walking and exploring, Aletraki offers a wonderful starting point. Different countryside routes invite you to wander through the surrounding landscape, discover the natural beauty of the area, and enjoy the peaceful paths at your own pace.

Every walk offers an opportunity to notice something new: wildflowers, the scent of herbs, the colours of the hills, and the views that make this part of Crete so distinctive. History is also close by, with the ancient Minoan palace of Knossos only a short drive away and other archaeological treasures waiting to be explored.

The Taste of Traditional Crete
One of the special features of Aletraki is its traditional wood-fired oven. It offers the opportunity to prepare food in a way that connects you with the flavours and traditions of Cretan cooking. Imagine sharing freshly prepared dishes with family and friends, enjoying local ingredients, and spending long, relaxed evenings around the table.
Here, food is more than a meal. It is part of the experience of discovering Crete through its tastes, traditions, and generous hospitality.

Countryside Peace, Close to City Life
Although Aletraki feels wonderfully peaceful and close to nature, Heraklion is within easy driving distance. You can enjoy the quiet of the countryside and, whenever you wish, head into the city for shopping, museums, cafés, lively streets, or a lovely meal at a local restaurant.
It is the best of both worlds: space to relax and reconnect with nature, with the culture, conveniences, and energy of the city close enough to enjoy.

Come for the Views, Stay for the Feeling
At Aletraki, you can wake up to birdsong, spend your days walking and exploring, taste the flavours of traditional Crete, and end your evenings beneath a sky full of stars.
You are not simply booking a house. You are giving yourself time to slow down, discover, and feel the real Crete.
Aletraki is waiting to welcome you.

The host was amazing. Very accommodating, great recommendations and very friendly. She met us off location and we followed her to the house. She shared her chicken eggs and in season fruits with us. The house was very clean and had many spaces for our group of 7 to relax together. The kitchen was very well supplied. The view was amazing. There are are outdoor spaces for grilling or games. HIGHLY recommend!!!
