Welcome to Villa Zeus II, built on the hillside of the picturesque village of Achlades, offering magnificent views of the surrounding olive groves, along with the so coveted peace and quiet everybody needs while on holiday. Villa Zeus II covers 190m2 on its 2 levels and can accommodate up to 8 (+2) guests in its 4 bedrooms. Two more guests could be accommodated in folding beds, making this villa big enough for large families or groups of friends. The villa is actually a traditional residence of the mid 19th century, in complete harmony with the environment, thanks to the careful restoration which recently took place and gracefully turned it in a luxurious, fully equipped villa, unique for long breaks in the beautiful island of Crete. The local materials that were used for the remodeling of Villa Zeus II include untreated stones, tiles of the interwar era, cypress trunks and handmade bricks and an old trough, adhering to the traditional architecture and respecting the residence’s history. The traditional elements and its authentic character were preserved and highlighted throughout the villa: some exquisite pieces of furniture carefully restored, wall arches, wooden floors and ceilings, creating unique ambient spaces of high aesthetics.
