Ondathaki Pirgos

Discover Ondathaki Pirgos, a 160-year-old estate nestled in Metochi, western Crete, where time seems to stand still. This meticulously restored landmark offers a unique blend of history, tradition, and authentic Cretan charm. Once a bustling multi-purpose residence, it now comprises four distinct residences, each thoughtfully designed with exposed stone, warm wood, and light pastel interiors, retaining its original architectural character.

Step into your private oasis where a minimalist courtyard features a swimming pool and sun terrace, all enveloped by fragrant olive groves and orange orchards. The estate’s heritage is palpable, from its original olive mill and winepress to the well that inspired its name, Pyrgos Psilonerou, meaning "Tower of High Water."

While Ondathaki Pirgos offers unparalleled serenity, the surrounding area provides ample opportunity for exploration. The nearby Pyrgos Psilonerou beach, known for its crystal-clear waters, is favoured by locals and boasts laid-back tavernas. For more vibrant beach bars and water sports, Maleme is just 1.5km away, and Platanias is a short 4km drive, offering boat trips and scuba diving. Further afield, immerse yourself in the culture of Chania town or venture to the natural wonders of Agia Lake and the Samaria Gorge.
