A quiet house among hundred-year-old olive trees

Olive Grove House is a small, family-kept stay in the village of Mardati — ten minutes from the sea, a world away from the noise. We built a calm, modern house in the middle of our olive grove and left the rest to the land: the light, the cicadas, the long shadows of late afternoon.

“Σιγά σιγά” — slowly, slowly

The Cretan way of living well

The whole house is yours alone — two quiet bedrooms, open-plan living, and terraces under the pergola. No other guests, no shared walls.

Between the mountains and Mirabello Bay

Mardati sits in the green hills above Agios Nikolaos — close enough for harbour dinners and morning swims, far enough that the loudest sound at night is the wind in the trees. Beaches, mountain plateaus, and family tavernas are all minutes away.
