Soft, sandy beaches, embraced by rocky coves, contribute to the queer charm of the coastline. The gracefully rising slopes of the surrounding hills are adorned by lavish green vegetation contrasting the grey-brown color of the mountains and the white houses of small scattered villages. Villa Castello is situated on a 1900 m² large property where Olive-, Fig-, Orange-, Mandarin-, Palm-, and Banana trees, as well as flowers thrive in terraced gardens that embrace the house; about 450 m from the Sea. Every apartment is individually decorated with original paintings and old, traditional Greek objects. Pergolas, covering all patios and balconies, provide cooling shade; every apartment is with Safe, TV, W-Lan and air conditioning unit. The terraces and stone pathways are adorned by flowerbeds, decorative shrubbery and bushes. Here, in harmony with nature, you can escape the hustle of the nowadays so hectic world to find your own little piece of fortune and get lost in your dreams submerged in the changing play of light and shadow, water and azure blue sky - everything is possible on this island. The garden includes a stone built oven, nestled between the trees, next to a marble table and stone benches. A playground with sandbox is also available for our very young guests. In Istron (ca. 300 m from the house) you find shopping and nice taverns serving Greek specialties. The initial village of Kalo Chorio is located about 2 km upcountry. Because of its location a good starting point to visit Minoan palaces, remote monasteries, Byzantine churches, caves, grottos and many enchanting natural sights.
