With its whitewashed walls and iconic blue shutters, Villa Francesca couldn't look more Greek if it tried. Just a short stroll from the charming fishing village of Agia Galini, this picture-perfect retreat is nestled in one of Crete’s most breathtaking landscapes—yet it's just steps away from the village’s lively tavernas, shops, and cafés. Built with love by Roger and his wife Francesca, the villa has been a cherished family sanctuary for years. More than just a holiday home, it’s a place steeped in warmth, memories, and a heartfelt connection to the soul of Crete. Tucked away in a serene landscape of timeless olive trees, Villa Francesca offers a tranquil escape with sweeping views of the mountains and glimpses of the Libyan Sea. Designed for comfort and easy living, the villa sleeps up to eight guests and features a bright, airy interior with seamless flow between the living room with a sleeper sofa, dining area, and kitchen. The three bedrooms can be accessed through the hallway of the second wing of the house. The master bedroom has an en-suite bathroom, the other guests will share the second spacious bathroom. Step outside to a generous terrace where alfresco meals and golden-hour lounging come naturally. The surrounding garden, alive with the scents and textures of native flora, creates a soothing backdrop that invites you to slow down and reconnect—with nature, with Crete, and with yourself. Guests at Villa Francesca have exclusive access to the entire property, ensuring a private and relaxing stay. This includes all indoor and outdoor spaces: the spacious bedrooms, fully equipped kitchen, and cozy living area, as well as the private terrace, and BBQ area. From the villa’s serene gardens to its panoramic views, every corner is yours to enjoy.

Villa Francesca is located very close to local taverns and just a short walk from the heart of Agia Galini, a lively fishing village on Crete’s southern coast. The surroundings are peaceful and green, with olive trees, mountain views, and a real sense of local life. It’s the kind of place where you can start your day with a stroll to the bakery, spend your afternoons on the beach, and enjoy dinner in a family-run taverna by the harbor. The village has everything you need—shops, cafés, a small marina—and it’s also a great base for exploring nearby beaches, hiking trails, and cultural sites. It’s relaxed, welcoming, and full of that easy-going charm Crete is known for.
