Amnia Villas – Villa Froso and Villa Mary are two newly built (2026) residences set within a serene green landscape, where sea views and a sense of calm define the experience. Each villa features its own private swimming pool, offering guests the luxury of space and relaxation. The property can be reserved as one private villa or as both together, with separate reservations, making it ideal for couples, families, or larger groups seeking flexibility with a modern, calming atmosphere. Each villa is arranged over two levels, filled with natural light and contemporary simplicity. The ground floor welcomes guests into an open-plan living space where the lounge, dining area, and fully equipped kitchen come together effortlessly, creating a relaxed setting for everyday living. A bedroom with twin beds—convertible into a king-size—and a bathroom are also located on this level. Upstairs, two queen-size bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms offer a more private retreat, opening onto balconies with calming views of the sea and surrounding nature. Outdoors, each villa unfolds around its own private pool, creating a central space for slow mornings and easy afternoons. Sun loungers, swings, and shaded sitting areas invite moments of rest, while the BBQ and dining area set the scene for shared meals and evenings under the open sky.

A major advantage of the unit is its easy access, as it is located on the municipal road network of Arkadi Monastery – Amnatos – Stavromenos. It is 6 km from the coastal settlement of Stavromenos and the Rethymno – Heraklion national highway, and 4.5 km from the Arkadi Monastery. Set in a central location on the island, they offer an ideal base for exploring Crete’s best. Access is available both via the coastal settlement of Stavromenos and the Rethymno – Heraklion national highway, as well as through the regional road network of Platanias Rethymno – Arkadi Monastery (9.5 km from the city). The wider region offers numerous opportunities to visitors due to its geographical location, natural beauty, and cultural wealth. It has preserved the authentic characteristics of Cretan tradition, hospitality, and culture. Visitors can attend traditional Cretan feasts and enjoy the classic Mediterranean diet with genuine Cretan products, such as cheese and honey, vegetables, olive oil, thyme, sage, rusks, oregano, wine, and tsikoudia made from local grapes and aromatic plants—all while experiencing renowned Cretan hospitality. The traditional settlement of Amnatos is located very close to sites of significant archaeological and religious value, such as the historic Arkadi Monastery—a UNESCO World Heritage Site and European Monument of Freedom—and the Arsani Monastery. It is also near the traditional settlement of Ancient Eleutherna, which features a modern archaeological museum. Furthermore, the area is ideal for promoting alternative forms of tourism, such as hiking, cycling, caving, and trekking, as it is close to the E4 trail (Arkadi – Eleutherna – Margarites). The settlement has been inhabited since ancient times. The name “Amnatos” is believed to have Minoan origins, derived from the word amnion (Amniatos – Amnatos). Amnia were the vessels used for the blood of sacrificed animals. Its location served as a passage for pilgrims heading to the Sanctuaries of Ancient Eleu
