Timeless Elegance. Endless Views.

Anasa Retreat rests among olive groves and rolling hills in Apokoronas — a tranquil three-bedroom villa where luxury meets nature. This private haven features an infinity pool, hot tub, and panoramic mountain views of Lefka Ori. Inside, enjoy high-end furnishings, Bosch appliances, an American-style dual fridge, 65" Smart TV, and Sonos sound system. Rustic Cretan charm blends seamlessly with modern elegance, just minutes from Almyrida, Kalyves, and Chania's old town.

Step out your door onto hiking trails that wind through wildflower meadows and ancient olive groves, with the White Mountains rising in the distance. After your adventures, return to your smoke-free sanctuary where clean mountain air and uncluttered outdoor spaces create the perfect setting for wellness and relaxation.

Meet Your Hosts

We're Marianna and Martin, a Norwegian couple who moved to Crete in January 2023 to embrace the Mediterranean lifestyle we'd dreamed of for years. Marianna has Greek heritage, making this move feel like a homecoming, while Martin brings his adventurous spirit—when he's not exploring mountain trails, you'll find him riding his Harley-Davidson through the Cretan countryside.

We live locally in Apokoronas with our three dogs, and we're passionate about sharing the authentic Crete we've come to love. From hidden tavernas to secret hiking trails, we're here to help you discover experiences that go beyond the typical tourist path. We're committed to making your stay exceptional, whether that means arranging a private chef, recommending the perfect sunset spot, or simply being available whenever you need us.
