The property and buildings on the hillside overlooking the Palace of Knossos make up the farm villa and known as Villa Phyllia, with a rich history that spans modern times back to the late nineteenth century and way beyond – land that was the location of the Sanctuary of Demeter -the goddess of earth fertility. Villa Phyllia is available for guests who appreciate the history and special atmosphere. Up to eight guests can be accommodated in simple but comfortable style. Villa Phyllia overlooks the palace; uniquely on a hill to the south, where a constant breeze refreshes even on the hottest days. Well-placed for walking trips that lead directly from the villa. It is set in a large olive grove with many places to sit and chill under shade. ## Property amenities ### Bedrooms - 2 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Comfort - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly - Welcoming cats only - 3 pets total ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoke-free property ### Location highlights - In a rural location ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) ## Similar properties ![Pool](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/102000000/101870000/101865900/101865844/w731h450x0y0-43837d47.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### CRETA GUEST HOUSE ARXONTIKO 15 min to golf club and 15 minutes to the beach !
