Laina Villa is a recently renovated villa, part of a characterized as a preservable historical monument settlement. High quality and sensitivity in harmony with the cretan environment and its history are the main characteristics of the house. Metohi is a traditional hamlet, located only 800m from the beach and 4km from Platanias. Along the old national road, 600m from the villa, you can find everything - mini markets, groceries, taverns and cafés.
The private garden of the villa is surrounded by high walls, ensuring the privacy of the tenants. In front of the villa there is a monastic table where you can enjoy your breakfast and meals that you can prepare on the barbecue or the traditional stone oven. Around the private swimming pool you will find sunbeds for sunbathing under the hot summer cretan sun. The large terrace with the great sea and country view is also perfect for sunbathing and relaxation.
In a spacious area at the ground floor there is a traditional sitting set, a dining set and the open plan kitchen. The kitchen is separated from the sitting area with a stone arch. At the same floor there are one double bedroom with direct access to the pool, one twin bedroom with a fireplace and a bathroom. Two more bedrooms, one double and one twin, are found on the first floor. A bathroom and a large terrace complete this floor. The sea and country view from the terrace is wonderful.

Reviews
Beautiful stone villa with pool near Maleme
This house was absolutely perfect for us. The location was in a small hamlet, so felt wonderfully secluded and rustic, however was just 10-15 minutes drive to Platanias bustling with tavernas, small boutiques and lovely beaches.
The house itself was a carefully renovated 300 year old stone building, that was comfortable, spacious, while retaining lots of gorgeous character. There are 4 bedrooms, and each one has its own charm. My favourite was the upstairs double bedroom, which had windows on 3 of its 4 walls, with shutters that I kept open so that I could see the sunrise all around me in the morning! However each bedroom had its own unique aspect. The kitchen was large and very well equipped, there was nothing that we needed that was not supplied. It would probably be equally great to stay in cooler months, and light the fireplace in the kitchen, and sit around the TV in the sitting room- we did not do either of these things, but imagine fall/winter would be perfect for this. Two modern bathrooms, with lovely stone tiles, and great showers etc.
The owners were equally delightful, and made sure everything was exactly right for our stay. The pool was wonderful, and we were happy to have some shaded areas with hammocks and lounge beds as well as areas in full sun. The upstairs terrace provided an idyllic spot for an early morning coffee at sunrise, as the whole sky turned pink, as well as outstanding sunsets to watch with a glass of wine in the evening.
All in all, a fantastic visit, and I would happily come back!
All simply perfect!
We were 8 people (two families with 4 kids) and spent two weeks in the Villa. The location is clean, comfortable and well located considering the most beautiful beaches of the island. The host is very kind and made her best to put us on the best conditions. Lovely the pool for the kids: they loved it!! Really recommended!!
