Eligia is a traditional Cretan house nestled in the peaceful village of Paleoloutra, in southern Rethymno, just 11 km from the beaches of Plakias. Spacious and thoughtfully renovated, it offers both tranquility and comfort. Built in 1880, this former “manor house of the village,” as locals used to call it, reflects the authentic architectural style of the 19th century. With high ceilings, abundant natural light, a grand stone arch, multiple skylights, and a traditional wooden loft (“ontas”), Eligia offers a genuine living experience. Guests have the opportunity to slow down and enjoy the relaxed rhythm of authentic Cretan life, far from the noise of mass tourism. Fully renovated and equipped with strong air conditioning and high-speed 5G internet, the house features a fully equipped kitchen, a loft-style bedroom with a king-size bed, a living room with a smart TV, and a lounge area that can be converted into an additional bed. There is also a dining area, a full bathroom, and a storage space. The outdoor courtyard provides ample space to unwind, with an al fresco dining area set under a vine-covered pergola, offering a naturally cool and shaded environment. The property is ideal for nature lovers, with direct access to hiking trails and beautiful beaches just a short drive away (approximately 10 minutes).
