Villa Landolfi enjoys absolute tranquility and an exceptional panorama of the sea and the mountains. Its name is a nod to the activity of its owners, musicians (Carlo Landolfi was a famous violin maker), as well as to the special links between Crete and Italian culture.
It is located within a fifteen-minute drive of some of Crete's most famous beaches and historical sites, as well as all the shops, restaurants and services. Created by the Athenian firm Stavropoulou Architects, built in 2022 and furnished by local craftsmen, it is one of the few architects' villas in Crete to integrate eco-design principles into its design and materials.
Its sleek design, 200 m2 of living space, large terraces and pergolas and swimming pool – river spread over a plot of 4,000 square meters make it an ideal place to stay for 6 to 8 people.
IN THE OLIVE TREES, BETWEEN SIVAS AND LISTAROS...
Villa Landolfi is located in the olive grove that stretches between the villages of Sivas and Listaros, on the southern coast of Crete. Its exceptional panorama covers the Libyan Sea, the islands of Gavdos, Paximadia and the Gulf of Timbaki, the fertile plain of Messara, Mount Ida (Psiloritis), the highest point of the island with its snow-capped peaks half the year, and the White Mountains.
Within a fifteen-minute drive are three of the most beautiful beaches in Crete: Matala, famous for its sheltered bay with honey-colored cliffs, and its port village marked by hippie culture; Komos, with the tranquility in all seasons of its kilometers of sand and ancient ruins in the middle of the dunes; Kalamaki, a family seaside resort where time seems to have stopped. For hikers and off-road enthusiasts, paths and tracks lead to dozens of other beaches as sumptuous as they are secluded: Red Beach, where ochre and orange compete with the blue of the sky and the sea; Agio Farago, a silvery pool at the end of an impressive gorge planted with laurels; Vathi, like a foretaste of the end of the world...
Also fifteen minutes away, several exceptional historical sites: the Palace of Phaestus, the most famous of the Minoan palaces along with Knossos, whose rival it was; the Villa of Agia Triada, one of the best-preserved monuments bequeathed by this mysterious civilization; Gortyna, a Greco-Roman city that commanded the destiny of Crete; the Byzanto-Venetian monastery of Odigitria, remarkable for its frescoes and icons as well as for its wild environment. The villages and landscapes of the Asterosias Mountains, on which the Villa is built, are among the most preserved in Crete.
Matala and Kalamaki offer many taverns. The villages of Mires and Pitsidia have all the shops and services in all seasons. The market of Mires is particularly famous.
Heraklion International Airport is located a 50-minute drive from Villa Landolfi. Among the day trips, in addition to the Cretan capital, the historic city of Rethymno, the ascent of the 2,456-metre Psiloritis, the wild gorges of Zaros, the medieval villages of the Amari Valley, the secluded beaches of Triopetra...
