Accommodation description

Castellos Villa is located in Prinias, a small settlement in the mountainous Asterousia region in southern Crete, 8.9 kilometers from the nearest beach. The traditional appearance of the accommodation, panoramic mountain views, and its distance from larger tourist centers create a pleasant atmosphere for a holiday in an authentic Cretan setting. The accommodation is a good choice for families and groups of friends who want more privacy, a stay in nature, and the opportunity to explore the beaches, gorges, and small settlements of the southern part of the island during their vacation.

Castellos Villa consists of two stone-built maisonettes with separate entrances, located next to each other and available to guests as a single unit. Both extend over the ground floor and first floor. The smaller maisonette is designed to accommodate up to three adults. On the ground floor, there is a living room connected to the kitchen and a bathroom, while on the first floor, on an open gallery, there is a double bed. An additional sleeping place is provided by a sofa for one person in the living room. The larger maisonette can accommodate up to five adults and features a living room connected to the kitchen, a bedroom, and a bathroom on the ground floor. Double beds are located in the bedroom and on the open gallery on the first floor, while the sofa in the living room provides sleeping space for one additional person.

For guests traveling with young children, a baby cot can be provided upon request and free of charge, making family trips with small children easier and more convenient.

Both maisonettes are equipped with air conditioning units located on the open gallery, WiFi internet access, and a Smart TV with apps for enjoying favorite content. The kitchens feature a ceramic cooktop with four heating zones and a large oven, providing good conditions for preparing a variety of meals on a daily basis, while the large refrigerator with freezer allows storage of larger quantities of food and beverages. A coffee maker, kettle, and toaster are also available. A hair dryer is provided in both maisonettes, while guests can use a washing machine located in the shared laundry room.

Both maisonettes have balconies overlooking the yard, the surrounding mountains, and the wider Asterousia landscape, allowing guests to enjoy the natural surroundings and panoramic views of this part of Crete. The shared fenced and fully paved courtyard provides ample space for outdoor living. A seating area is suitable for shared meals and socializing, while the barbecue facilities further enhance the holiday atmosphere.

Pets weighing up to 15 kilograms are allowed upon prior request and with a daily surcharge.

During their stay, guests are responsible for maintaining the cleanliness of the accommodation. Clean bed linen and towels are available in the maisonettes, and guests are responsible for changing them. Additional cleaning can be arranged upon request and for an extra charge, while extra sets of bed linen and towels can also be provided separately upon request and for an additional fee.

Guests arriving by car have access to two private parking spaces within the property, one for each maisonette. The location in the authentic mountainous surroundings of Asterousia includes access via an unpaved road that passes through the characteristic Cretan landscape. Parking next to the property makes daily trips to the coast easier, as well as exploring beaches, gorges, traditional settlements, and other attractions in southern Crete.

Prinias is a small traditional settlement in the eastern part of the Asterousia mountain region, in the southern part of the Heraklion regional unit. Surrounded by rugged mountain landscapes, vineyards, and nature characteristic of inland Crete, it offers an opportunity to experience a quieter and more authentic way of life on the island. Asterousia is the southernmost mountain range in Europe and part of the UNESCO Biosphere Reserve Network. Its gorges, hiking trails, monasteries, and secluded coves are particularly suitable for guests who wish to explore natural and cultural attractions during their holiday. Among the points of interest in the area is the Ambas Gorge with its waterfall, descending toward the Libyan Sea coast, while the seaside settlement of Tris Ekklisies offers a beach, taverns, and cafés by the sea. This setting makes Prinias a good choice for guests who wish to combine a stay in a traditional Cretan village with visits to lesser-known beaches and natural beauties of the southern part of the island. The accommodation is located approximately 50 kilometers from Heraklion International Airport.
