The
Stone Village of Milia
(
Milia / Chania)
13 rooms / 1 suite
This
amazingly beautiful and remote Shangri-La, offers accommodation,
which is quite unique in Crete. Milia is an original old mountain
hamlet which has been lovingly and imaginatively restored from ruins.
All possible care has been given to the authenticity of this tiny
hamlet, using natural materials and energy sources, which were used
in its heyday.
This extends
to the interiors of each beautiful stone cottage, which has been
simply furnished with antiques, starched linen curtains, stone basins
and little oil lamps.
Each cottage is individual, but each has a spacious bed/ living
room and a shower/WC. An electricity generator is on for a few hours
per day and a wood burning stove provides hot water.
Milia is an utterly enchanting place with outstandingly beautiful
countryside, which is thickly clothed with trees, shrubs and herbs
of every kind and is alive with honeybees and butterflies. It sits
at the end of 4,5 km unsurfaced road which takes you along a breathtakingly
fabulous route across folds of mountain from Vlatos, a village above
the road to Kastelli. Not for the faint hearted!
The cluster of stone cottages provides 13 rooms
in all or a total of 25 beds, and some cottages can be interconnected
for families. Further there is 1 suite, having one double bed and
two sofa beds. Breakfast and traditional Cretan evening meals are
served in a cosy farmhouse dining/kitchen around a huge wooden table.
Delicious fresh bread is baked every day at Milia.
It is a place for nature lovers, for romantics, for those who delight
in country hikes in lush flora and fauna, and a simple healthy old
fashioned lifestyle far away from the maddening crowd. A car is
essential.
