General info
A small family hotel complex of three villas, standing on a hillside with a panoramic view of the village and island of Mohlos.
Each villa is independent, ensuring full privacy with its own surrounding area, its own verandas, patios and greenery, its own swimming pool and its own parking spaces.
All three villas look out over the vast blue Sea of Crete, the beautiful islet of Mohlos with its Minoan ruins, the imposing "Kastelas" peak and other mountains, Mohlos and the nearby villages and the lovely farming landscape with its small plain, hills and foothills cloaked in silver-green olive trees. This is a magical, inspiring and peaceful spot.
The villas blend in with their beautiful surroundings, their design inspired by plain, traditional local architecture with stone walls, stone benches, staircases and patios, enhanced by wooden door and window frames and traditional-style furniture. Light, cheerful colours predominate inside and out.
These villas were co-financed by the European unio n and have won praise from visiting tourism experts.
About the villa
The villa is 150 m2 (not counting the veranda), with exactly the same rooms, furniture and equipment - just with a reversed layout, so while the Villa Alcestis faces north and east, the Villa Calypso looks north and west.
The Villa also has luxurious rooms, a 34 m2 swimming pool and a similarly enchanting view from the sitting room, veranda and patios.
The equipment and services provided are exactly the same as those of the Villa Alcestis.
Each villa is independent, ensuring full privacy with its own surrounding area, its own verandas, patios and greenery, its own swimming pool and its own parking spaces.
Between the two bedrooms is the central bathroom with a hydromassage bathtub, marble surfaces and all the necessary accessories.
The veranda opens on to a spacious sitting room of 18.5 m2 with a view of the sea and the beautiful surrounding countryside.

Location
The island of Crete, with all its natural and historical attractions, is a fascinating destination. Its wonderfully varied landscape, fantastic beaches and crystal-clear sea, pleasantly mild and healthy climate, picturesque villages in the interior and pretty seaside towns, historical monuments and internationally-acclaimed antiquities from Minoan palaces to Byzantine monasteries and Venetian castles, all go to make up a rich and impressive environment offering a wide range of choices.
The picturesque seaside village of Mohlos lies on the north coast of Crete, 33 km east of Agios Nikolaos and the same distance west of Sitia.
The inhabitants have been farmers and fishermen since antiquity, while the tourism industry is a more recent occupation. The village has very good tavernas, mini markets, cafes, bars, car hire companies, etc. The islet of Mohlos, just 200 metres offshore, is an important archaeological site, with the remains of one of the greatest harbours and naval centres of Minoan Crete. Fabulous treasures have been brought to light there since excavations began at the turn of the last century.
The nearby villages are clean and pretty, preserving the traditional way of life, while the inhabitants are courteous and hospitable. Here too you will find tavernas, cafes and small shops. Various religious festivals are celebrated in the villages, along with traditional fiestas and cultural events. The small hotel complex stands above Mohlos, providing a supremely restful, relaxing and revitalising environment. Every visitor comments that, apart from the magnificent view, Mohlos has its own inspiring atmosphere and a mysterious positive, invigorating energy. Considered to be one of the loveliest landscapes in the world, Mohlos has enthusiastic fans in every country.
