The only luxury villa complex in the wider Matala region.

A refined luxury retreat in Southern Crete.

Phaistos Villas is a unique complex of three independent luxury villas, with high aesthetics, and authentic Cretan hospitality. Built amphitheatrically in the village of Sivas, with panoramic views over the Messara Valley and the Libyan Sea, the villas combine traditional architecture with modern luxury amenities.

All three villas are nearly identical, making them ideal for large groups or friends who wish to stay close together while enjoying their own private space.

The outdoor areas are shared among the villas and include a large central swimming pool available to all guests.

The Complex-Erato

Villa Erato is a traditional two storey, stone-built construction that can sleep up to four guests.

The thick stone walls built with local materials in the traditional Cretan way combined with the exceptional high wooden roof provide an airy cool and dry environment for the two beautifully decorated bedrooms on the second floor. Both bedrooms have a sizeable balcony that overlooks the swimming pool. On the same floor there is a spacious modern bathroom with shower facility.

On the ground floor there is a fully equipped open planned kitchen with charming and relaxing dining and sitting area.
