An introduction to Maheri Village Houses
Villa 1, with its very own swimming pool, is built into the hillside on the very edge of Maheri. Both floors of the house are at 'ground level'. A covered terrace on each floor looks out over the generous pool, the pretty garden and the verdant valley below. The 60cm thick stone walls keep the house cool and its traditional features such as iron window grilles and only natural, local materials represent this environmentally friendly design. The second villa (Villa 2) is in a quiet location set back from the village road by approximately 100m or so, and was one of the original traditional houses restored by Costas.
The old water storage tank below the collection of houses has been converted into a wine cellar and there is also a tiny kafenion, with pavement seating perched on a shaded viewing terrace, where traditional Cretan snacks are occasionally available. Costas' wife, Rula, prepares delicious home cooking using organic, and home-grown wherever possible, produce. Otherwise, the nearest tavernas are just 1km away in the neighbouring village of Neo Chorio.
