The traditional stone house is located in the picturesque village of Pirgou (Pyrgou), 20 minutes drive from Heraklion. It is located in the middle of the village - typically Cretan among other houses, in a very quiet environment with a view of the nearby mountains. It was built around 1900 and restored from 2007 to 2010 to modern standards, while retaining all traditional elements. The outside entrance leads into the high walled courtyard planted with trees. From there you enter the country-style kitchen-diner with a central wood-burning stove. Between the kitchen and the bedroom, cleverly positioned, is the bathroom with toilet, walk-in shower and bathtub. The bedroom also has its own exit. A wooden staircase leads to the large living room on the upper floor with a gallery and gallery, suitable as an office, library and guest bed. From the living room you go out onto the terrace with a panoramic view. On the terrace is the entrance to the guest room with its own toilet and sink. There are parking spaces about 50 meters away on the next street. Internet is available via landline and WLAN. Also ideal for renting.

The consumption of 1 to 2 tons of olive wood to keep the house nice and warm in winter is high. The stone house stores the highly efficient heat from the wood stove excellently. Cool interiors in summer due to the thick stone walls, thus enormous savings. You experience first-hand how rural living improves the world and living conditions. No noise, no constant flood of stimuli remind you of the beauty and warmth of this world. The village is on a bus route to Heraklion and has its own mini market and tavern. In the next village (1km) there are all shops such as pharmacy, mini markets, post office (currently closed), taverns, bakeries, butchers, petrol station, ATM.
