Aetovigla Guesthouse

The owner of Aetovigla Guesthouse grew up in this blessed place. As a child, this land was his family’s grazing field, and to this day, it holds deep emotional value for him. His love for nature, his connection to the land, and his desire to share the beauty, tranquility, and breathtaking views with others led him to create these traditional guesthouses — with great care, passion, and respect for the area. Aetovigla is a family-run business built on love and authentic Cretan hospitality. When you visit us, we welcome you as part of our family — offering advice on the best places to visit, suggesting local experiences, and doing everything we can to make you feel comfortable and truly "at home." With many of our guests, we've built genuine friendships that last well beyond their stay. On several occasions, visitors have even joined us in family gatherings or picnics, experiencing up close the traditions, customs, and warm spirit of everyday Cretan life. Our family is involved not only in hospitality but also in farming and the local food scene, which adds even more authenticity to the experience we offer. For us, hospitality is not a job — it’s a way of life. We look forward to welcoming you and sharing with you the peace, beauty, and spirit of Crete!
