If you’re looking for the ultimate couples’ retreat in which to experience the real, authentic Crete and escape the frantic pace of modern life, we are delighted to introduce our newest property, Villa Dioni. Allow us to entice you as to what makes this gorgeous and utterly romantic villa so special:
1. Peaceful, secluded location
First, it’s location.
Nestled on the edge of the sleepy hamlet of Veni, you’re surrounded by gentle hillsides, olive groves, vineyards and just one other neighbouring property, with little else to disturb the silence but birdsong. Whilst most of our properties have lush gardens and swimming pools, too, Villa Dioni also has a vegetable garden you can pick-as-you-eat-from, for a zero air-miles lunch or dinner. Sit, relax and slow down to the Cretan way of life!
The villa’s name, Dioni, is derived from the Dionysus, the Greek God of wine, passion and celebration – what more fitting a moniker for an un-overlooked property where the pool is private and clothes optional!
2. Romantic villa just for two
Sympathetically renovated by owner Manolis, the property is modern and comfortable inside, whilst keeping some quirky, authentic features including a woodburning stove ideal for cosy shoulder-season evenings. The surrounding area is also known for producing fine wines and olive oil.
3. Affordability
At a time when the cost of living is high, Villa Dioni is a wallet-friendly couples option, with, as a special introductory offer for a 2026 launch, prices starting from under €100 per night, per property, not per person.
4. Great availability
And, because Villa Dioni has just been launched this year, there’s great availability, too – even for a last-minute peak season summer escape.
5. The ideal base for exploring western Crete
Despite its seclusion, Villa Dioni is the ideal base from which to explore some of Western Crete’s most stunning scenery and beaches. To the east, the waterfront tavernas and Blue Flag pebble beach of Kolymvari are just 14 km away, whilst Chania is a 35-minute (37km) drive away. From the authentic seaside town of Kissamos you can access Balos lagoon and Falassarna beach, amongst others. Samaria Gorge and the White Mountains are also within easy reach for walking, hiking or cycling.
