Acropolis Muse

Acropolis Muse: Crete

Nestled amongst lush vegetation, this home is a centuries-old former olive oil press now transformed into a sprawling villa. Spread over three cottages, you’ll find plenty of nooks to relax underneath mango trees or at a terrace overlooking nearby mountains when the fancy takes you, while the alfresco dining area and pool are ideal for impromptu festivities over wine and cocktails. While we feel some of the furniture is a little dated, it complements the various remaining oil extraction machinery that adorns the home, giving it its distinct character.

Home truths:
*Due to this home's location, we recommend hiring a car to get the most out of your stay. There’s free parking here.
*The traditional decor here might not be to everyone's taste. It feels a little dated in parts, particularly the communal areas which might appear a little worn in some places.
*For those with reduced mobility, there's a ground floor bedroom and bathroom here.
*Due to this home's remote location, you might find that the phone signal is patchy from time to time.
