We enjoyed beauty and privacy at Villa Petrinos Lofos. The house is a traditional-style Cretan home perched on a hilltop overlooking the olive groves of Vori and Tympaki. It’s comfortable and clean with gardens and outdoor sitting areas that are lovely and expansive. Nick and his family are very generous and kind, guiding us to the house and showering us with homemade treats and gifts of the family’s olive oil. The location is a good base for exploring the area’s small towns and cultural sites. Phaistos is a couple minutes drive and we found several nice hikes around Kamilari, including the walk to tholos tomb. Strolling through the rural lands and olive groves beyond the villa was also a treat.
