A Grand Village Residence
House Margarita stands as one of the most generous traditional properties in the hillside village of Mavrikiano. Spanning 120 square metres, this expansive stone home was created for guests who desire both ample room and a deeper, calmer connection to Cretan heritage. Rooted firmly in the architectural traditions of the island, the house offers an elevated sanctuary above the bay, perfectly suited for families or groups of friends seeking a slow, authentic village rhythm.
The Interior Narrative
The interior unfolds across a dynamic, multi-level layout that gracefully follows the natural contours of the hillside. Handcrafted details, natural timber, and exposed stone define the open-plan sleeping and living areas, which comfortably accommodate up to six guests. The vertical architecture—featuring traditional wooden stairs and charming split levels—creates distinct zones of privacy, blending historic character with the practical comforts necessary for a seamless stay.
Mediterranean Outdoor Living
The true heart of House Margarita lies just beyond its thick stone walls. A spectacular 35-square-metre veranda commands panoramic views across the sapphire waters of Elounda Bay and the rugged Mirabello mountains. This magnificent terrace, complete with a dedicated outdoor kitchen and barbecue, is designed for the ultimate Mediterranean lifestyle—inviting long, lingering breakfasts in the morning sun and atmospheric dinners under the stars.
The Mavrikiano Setting
Elevated above the bustling waterfront, the house provides a profound sense of privacy and calm, yet remains intimately connected to the coast. A scenic 10-minute walk down the village paths brings you directly to Elounda’s beaches, harbor, and vibrant tavernas. For larger gatherings, Margarita’s immediate proximity to House Leonidas and House Argyro makes it an unparalleled anchor for multi-family stays, allowing guests to remain close while enjoying their own spacious retreats.
