A True Gem in Crete, Stone Built Villa Limeri!

Villa Limeri forms the basis of a lifelong memory and is clearly made of the stuff that any celebrity or non celebrity seeks in order to find peace, quiet and that feeling of "separateness" (why else do people own islands and estates?). Yes, there is a road, since it is 15 klm away from the main town of Rethymnon, but that's how you get to Villa Limeri....once there it as if no road had ever reached the place. Eclectic in design and architecture as this has the modern version of a "great hall", yet none of the darkness of an old mansion, it is all exposed to the magic healing light we get so much of in Crete. In the middle of the flora and fauna, the massive mountains, the small trees and shrubs, the fragrant plants and herbs, the dramatic rocks to every side - far away from people, your view is open, the air is clear. The land area devoted to the house is large (20 hectares), but really you benefit from the extension of this all into the underpopulated hills beyond. Sit and think, write a paper, start a novel or go for a walk in the so many different paths that someone can take. Going inside this 280 sqm villa there is a great-hall sized living with spectacular views of inland Crete, dining and kitchen area and a 20sqm balcony. Then still on the ground floor, a unique modern stone and wood inspired bathroom. Opposite you will find one of the bedrooms and up the open wood stairs to a gallery corridor leading into the other 2 bedrooms and one smaller bathroom. There is no air conditioning in the living room but only in the bedrooms, as Villa Limeri's 420 m altitude and well angled position keep things cool. Or If you want to be a bit more cool, you can head down to the swimming pool.The name "Limeri", for your interest and perhaps descriptive of its qualities means a "haunt" or "refuge" and for others means 'a retreat', or 'lair' (as in pirate's or fox's lair) in GreekOther Facilities are: fireplace, central heating, mini HiFi, flat screen TV, DVD player, High speed internet connection and a fully equipped kitchen with gas, a dishwasher, fridge and washing machine.Mountain biking and hiking or if you are a bird watching enthusiast, bring your binoculars as Villa Limeri's position/location is ideal for these kind of sports!. The location is perfect for mountain biking and hiking. The rich flora and fauna of the area will please everyone. The villa is located the heart of Crete giving you equal distance to South Crete and its most amazing beaches, like Souda, Damnoni, Amoudi or Schoinaria and then to the main town of Rethymnon Also, if you are a bird watching enthusiast, make sure you bring your binoculars.
