About this villa rental
125 years after its construction and initial use as an olive mill, "1891" Home was fully renovated. Magnificent views at the Aegean Sea and the Mediterranean sky makes it the holiday house everyone dreams of.
“1891"- Home, is a two storey villa, situated in Apokoronas- one of the seven Municipalities of the Prefecture of Chania and one of the most picturesque. Apokoronas covers a diverse area that reaches from the foothills of
the White mountains to the sandy beaches and rocky shores on the
northwest side of Crete.
Within its boundaries you will discover the beauty of olive, citrus
groves and vineyards, local flora and fauna along with stunning views
of the Mediterranean Sea. Due to its locale and the area's vibrant
settlements, Apokoronas still offers pockets of traditional Cretan
hospitality and customs as well as architecture.
The area is known for its hiking/ foot trails, gorges and some of the
most popular sandy beaches famous for sailing, water sports or just
relaxing by the waterfront.
Daily life in Kefalas impresses the visitor with its tranquil pace- The location of “1891" home epitomizes restful relaxation with a magical view but a few minutes of walking through the village alleyways leads you to the types of services necessary for one's vacation such as super markets, tavernas and traditional cafes.

Best place ever !
10 / 10Outstanding·May 2026
We absolutely loved our stay at 1891 Home in Kefalas. Everything was simply perfect. The house is full of character, beautifully maintained, spotless and very comfortable. You can really feel that every detail has been cared for with love.The outdoor space was one of the highlights for us. It was peaceful, well looked after and perfect for relaxing, with a wonderful Cretan atmosphere and beautiful views. The location was also ideal: quiet and authentic, right in the heart of Kefalas, while still being a great base for exploring the surrounding area, including Chania, Rethymno and the beaches of Apokoronas.But the biggest compliment goes to Alexandra. She is an exceptional host: warm, generous, responsive and genuinely thoughtful (groceries in the fridge including wine). From the moment we arrived, we felt completely welcome and taken care of. If we could give Alexandra 10 stars, we absolutely would.We would recommend this place without hesitation. It was a truly wonderful stay, and we would love to come back.

The 1891 Home was even more beautiful than the pictures portray, and Kefalas was a perfect location to visit both Chania and Rethymno. The homemade treats and kitchen supplies were a welcome touch as we arrived late on our first bight. Alexandra was very welcoming and responsive. We would love to visit again.

We had a wonderful stay in Alexandra’s house. Stunning views and a beautifully designed house - somehow even more beautiful than the pictures. We had everything we needed for our stay; the house is very well equipped, very clean, and we had a very warm welcome. Alexandra very generously left wine, groceries and some delicious pastries - a very special touch. We would love to stay here again!
