Bedrooms and Bathrooms
Elegant interiors, soft textures and salvaged antiques decorate this characterful home. Snuggled in a peaceful cobbled courtyard the property belongs to the so-called vaulted houses, a building type that is widespread in Crete.

The twin bedroom sits on the ground floor with a window flaunting views across the cobbled courtyard filled with green and pool terrace. Αcross the bedroom sits a family bathroom with a shower. The former stable has been skillfully incorporated in the main building. This gave the unique opportunity to create a mezzanine double bedroom while the space under it, is occupied by an ensuite bathroom with shower and a private wardrobe.

Outside
Enclosed by garden, the verdant setting of Muazzo Creta Stone House is an invitation to immerse yourself in nature. The walled courtyard plays host to a mix of chalky hues and soft planting - a dream arena for sunshine reclining. This sophisticated summerhouse is the perfect spot for those who wish to benefit from its unique location, providing easy access to amenities. Enjoy the cretan sun all day long while sunbathing on the terrace. Dip in the pool with the built-in hydromassage nozzle embedded in one part of the pool and refreshen or enjoy al fresco dining while practicing your grill skills at the BBQ facilities.

For Relaxation
After a day spent sightseeing, a tranquil haven awaits on return to Muazzo Creta Stone House. Pull the cork on a bottle of wine and cook up a hearty supper to enjoy beneath the starry sky. Muazzo Creta Stone House is a haven for relaxation and refreshment .

Quaint Village Setting
Beautifully appointed historic villa set in a gorgeous garden with pomegranate and lemon trees. Comfortable beds and amenities at your disposable. We especially loved the laid-back village atmosphere, the neighbouring residents and merchants were all so kind. Several choices for handy day trips from this central location are an added bonus.

A beautiful villa!
The Villa and gardens are beautiful, really well equipped with thoughtful touches like water in the fridge when we arrived and a fantastic tray of fruit! Communication was great throughout the hosts were so friendly and helpful, Maria-Louisa was waiting at the house to welcome us when we arrived late in the evening which was brilliant, thank you. The Villa is really peaceful even though it is right in the middle of the village, and the nearby small supermarket and tavernas were great 😊

Amazing home, gracious host
My husband, our two small dogs, and I had an amazing stay. The home is perfectly appointed and close to Rethymno but a world away in terms of peace and quiet. The pool is beautifully maintained and was great for lazy days and night swims. The garden was perfect for our fur babies to stretch their legs. The host/owner of the villa was delightful. She gave us wonderful recommendations for places to visit, shop, and eat. She even called ahead to ensure we had the best seats in the house! Muazza Creta will always hold a special place in our hearts. We will be back!

Peaceful quality
We had a lovely week at the Muazzo Creta stone house. The villa is a luxury conversion of a period cottage with a unique layout and high quality finish. A really peaceful private and relaxing location yet only a few metres from the village shops and tavernas. Maria was so lovely and welcoming and we could not have asked for anything more (except perhaps for another week!). We'd highly recommend and hope we can return some time. Many thanks.

Lovely well equipped cottage.
This is a lovely cottage, beautifully maintained and well equipped with all the amenities you could wish for. It has it's own pool and is in a nice quiet village with supermarket and restaurants just a 5 minute walk away. Rethymno is just a 20 minute drive - once you've found your way onto the main road... We had a lovely time here.

A perfect holiday location
This was our second stay at this house and we enjoyed it a lot. We were warmly greeted by our host Maria who had wine and other welcome gifts for us. The house is equipped with everything you need. We especially enjoyed the garden and pool. The village is also very nice with a pharmacy, a supermarket and three great tavernas in walking distance. We will definitely come back.

Wunderbarer Aufenthalt
Wir wollten drei Wochen entspannen und ab und zu einen Tour unternehmen. Der Empfang von Alexia war sehr herzlich und professionell. Einige Tage begrüßte uns auch die Besitzerin Maria-Louisa ganz herzlich und gab uns einige Tipps was man auf der Insel unternehmen könnte. Das Haus ist sehr schön gelegen in Pigi, dort gibt es drei Tavernen ( zwei waren unsere Favoriten) mit sehr fairen Preisen, ebenso gibt es einen Supermarkt und eine Bäckerei und das alles fußläufig. Das Haus ist sehr gut ausgestattet und es fehlte uns an nichts. Vielen Dank für den schönen Aufenthalt

The perfect home away from home
This house in Pigi is absolutely beautiful and equipped with everything that you need. We loved the wonderful garden surrounding the house and everything that you need is only a short walk away. We can recommend the Zorbas tavern. Communication with our host Maria was very good and we will definitely be back.

Traumhaft
Wir hatten einen traumhaften Aufenthalt in dem niedlichen Ort Pigi. Kleine Einkaufsmöglichkeit, hervorragendes Gebäck von der netten Oma der Bäckerei direkt ums Eck, drei tolle Lokale (in 2 Minuten fußläufig erreichbar) und ein wundervolles Haus, in dem wir wohnen durften. Ausgezeichneter Service bei Check-in und -out! Die Vermieterin war dazu vor Ort, begrüßte uns mit einer großen Obstschale und einer Flasche Wein vom lokalen Kelterer. Das Haus, der Pool, die Gartenanlage sind das reinste Paradies! Durch das Steingemäuer und die Klimaanlage herrschen im Haus angenehme Temperaturen, die die Nachtruhe zu dem bequemen Bett unterstützen. Es waren unsere perfekten Flitterwochen. Schöner hätte es nicht sein können! Wir können jedem wärmstens unsere Empfehlung für dieses Objekt aussprechen!

Remarquable !
Notre séjour à Pigi c'est remarquablement déroulé au sein de la magnifique villa de Maria-Louisa qui nous a accueillis avec beaucoup de gentillesse, en nous prodiguant de très bons conseils de visites et restaurants. L'équipement de la villa est très complet et la piscine est de bonne dimension pour nager et se détendre. La possibilité de stationner notre véhicule de location dans la propriété était très appréciable. Nous avons aussi beaucoup apprécié les petits commerces et très bons restaurants a quelques mètres de la villa. Les villageois sont tous très accueillants. Nous avons apprécié ce petit village loin de la foule de touristes de Réthymnon. Nos 15 jours de vacances nous ont permis de visiter la Crête et de faire de belles rencontres. Σας ευχαριστούμε και θα σας δούμε σύντομα!
