THE VILLA – secluded, private and quiet, facing south west towards the White Mountains
In a peaceful setting between the hilltop villages of Sellia and Souri, Villa Lefka Ori is situated along a quiet lane at the edge of the village. Facing south west, we have stunning views of the entire Lefka Ori mountain range. These mountains are so majestic and magnificent that they inspired the naming of the villa.
We are so lucky to be able to share these magical views with our guests and create a space where others can relax and retreat from the busy world.
We love the early morning view of the mountains tinged pink by the dawn light. Its a lovely way to start the day. In the evening you can see gorgeous sunsets and watch the sky turn orange. And the top floor terrace is the best place to watch the stars.
The GUEST SUITE – the whole of the top floor with private roof terrace
* Spacious 35 sqm room with vaulted ceiling & AC * Queen bed
* Ensuite shower room * Own kitchenette with refrigerator for drinks/breakfast
The suite has a huge bedroom with sitting area and a spacious ensuite bathroom. Its vaulted wooden ceiling is a nice touch and gives an airy feel. The room is air conditioned and with windows on the breezy side of the villa, the temperature is comfortable .
As you enter the suite, there is a small kitchenette and from there you can step out to the terrace. In the bedroom, doors lead into the sunroom – an ideal place to sit and read in the winter time – and from there onto the terrace.
A favourite aspect is the roof top terrace from where you have a panoramic view that’s breathtaking; it’s simply the best we’ve seen.
With the entire top floor to yourself, you have as much privacy as you like. What better place to enjoy your breakfast of greek yoghurt and honey, or later in the day enjoy a greek salad with some of our own olive oil!
Guest double bedroom on middle floor accessed by separate staircase
* Spacious 15 sqm room with large balcony overlooking our olive grove
* Private bathroom with shower and jacuzzi tub
Nice sunset views from this quiet room with comfy double bed, and plenty of wardrobe space. Separate balcony on first floor allows you to open doors at night or use AC to cool down. Coffee maker and kettle for your conveniance. TV in living room. Fridge and BBQ on terrace outside living room.

OUR CLIMATE
The weather is sunny here whatever time of year you visit, so you’re sure to spend as much time outside as inside. Being high up we benefit from the wind coming up from Souda Bay which helps us cool down even on the hottest of days. In winter our southerly aspect keeps us warmer. Whatever the month, early morning is special for sitting outside and watching the mountains change colour from pink to white. And at the end of the day you can watch the sun set and turn the sky pink and red and orange.
At Villa Lefka Ori, we invite you to relax and rejoice in the natural beauty of Crete
