About this cottage rental
LIVE LIKE A LOCAL IN MYRTIA
A Heritage Maisonette in Crete’s Wine & Olive Country
Discover slow living in this beautifully restored, two-level stone maisonette in the heart of Myrtia, home to the Nikos Kazantzakis Museum.
Once our family’s old cellar, this heritage home has been lovingly transformed into a welcoming retreat filled with history, character and literary spirit. It offers a setting for couples, families and friends who enjoy local culture, good food and the everyday rhythm of a Cretan village.
THE SPACE
The maisonette has three bedrooms and three bathrooms, accommodating up to eight guests: six in bedroom beds and two on a double sofa bed in the upstairs reading area.
Upstairs
The master bedroom features a four-poster bed and traditional stone walls. The private balcony has a hot tub, offering a place to relax while taking in views of the village and surrounding hills.
A reading area in the upstairs foyer provides a quiet corner for a book, journaling or simply enjoying a slower morning. Its double sofa bed accommodates two additional guests. Please note that this is an open foyer, not a separate bedroom.
A second bedroom with twin beds and bathroom facilities complete the upper floor.
Downstairs
The fully equipped kitchen makes it easy to prepare meals with local ingredients. Share breakfast or dinner in the vintage dining area, then settle into the living room, where family pieces and stone details give the space its character.
The ground floor also includes a third bedroom with twin beds and a bathroom with a shower.
The downstairs sofa is available as shared seating and is not used for sleeping.
Bed linen and towels are provided, along with one Smart TV and free Wi-Fi. A baby cot is available on request.
OUTDOOR SPACES
The upstairs balcony is home to your private hot tub, reserved exclusively for maisonette guests.
At street level, the small front courtyard offers a different pleasure: a morning coffee or evening raki while watching village life pass by. This is a modest outdoor space beside the village street, where you can feel part of the neighbourhood.
The swimming pool belonging to the neighbouring Pool Villa is not included in this booking.
THE SETTING
Myrtia is a traditional, walkable village surrounded by olive groves and vineyards in the Peza wine region.
Stroll to the bakery for fresh bread, enjoy a meal at a local taverna or visit the Nikos Kazantzakis Museum. Grocery shops and other village essentials are also within walking distance.
Nearby wineries, pottery villages and cultural sites offer plenty to explore. A car is recommended for travelling beyond the village, including visits to Knossos, Heraklion and the coast. Beaches are approximately a 30-minute drive away, depending on your destination and traffic.
PARKING & ACCESS
Free private parking is available for up to three cars. There are no steps between the parking area and the maisonette’s entrance.
An internal staircase connects the ground and upper floors. Please consider this layout when travelling with young children or anyone with limited mobility.
YOUR STAY
Smoking is permitted outdoors only, in the front courtyard or on the balcony.
We’re available through platform messaging before and during your stay, while respecting your privacy. We’re happy to share local recommendations or help arrange car hire, transfers and other services, subject to availability and additional charges confirmed in advance.
Take your time here. Read, explore, share a meal and discover the pleasures of village life, one day at a time.

10 / 10Outstanding·Apr 2026
This is a beautiful property and the hosts are very gracious and hospitable. They tried to think of everything and were very good at communicating from the get go. It is everything and more than the photos indicated. Very clean, all the amenities provided and centrally located. Walking distance to affordable bakery and well stocked markets. Excellent views and a short drive to everything. Our whole family loved it!
