Description

There are rare places in the Mediterranean where time seems to slow down, where stone walls hold centuries of stories,
and the air carries the subtle sweetness of wild thyme and orange blossom. Tucked into the peaceful, historic hamlet of
Provarma within the coveted Apokoronas region, this extraordinary 200-year-old estate is a living testament to Cretan
heritage, masterfully restored with unyielding devotion to authenticity, art, and modern sanctuary.

To step across the threshold of this estate is to leave the noise of the modern world behind. It is not merely a house, it is a
piece of Cretan soul lovingly brought back to life.

The main house: Historic Soul & Artisanal craftmanship

Every inch of the principal residence honors traditional Cretan architecture while incorporating refined, modern living comforts.
Hand-chiseled original stonework stands alongside thick timber beams and natural terracotta tones, creating an atmosphere that
feels grounded, warm, and deeply reassuring.

The main living space flows organically around arched doorways, a classic signature of historic island masonry. Sunbeams filter
through restored wooden windows, illuminating quiet reading nooks and atmospheric dining spaces. The kitchen blends rustic
European charm with contemporary functionality, perfectly equipped for long, languid evenings preparing meals with local olive
oil, fresh herbs, and sun-ripened produce gathered from the village market.

Independent guest studios: Versatile Living & Income Potential.

Complemented by two fully independent, beautifully appointed guest studios, the property offers rare versatility. Each studio
mirrors the character of the main home, providing visitors with complete privacy, custom stonework, personal kitchenettes, and
dedicated outdoor nooks.

Whether envisioned as an artist’s atelier, a sanctuary for multi-generational family visits, or an established boutique holiday-rental
business generating immediate income, these private quarters elevate the estate into a highly flexible lifestyle investment.

Outdoor Living: A Canvas of Mountains, Countryside & Sea Outdoor Living.

Outdoor life here is an art form. Multiple split-level stone terraces curve around the residence, offering a private vantage point for
every hour of the day. Begin mornings with dark Greek coffee on the shaded patio as the morning light catches the dramatic
contours of the White Mountains (Lefka Ori).

As daylight softens into twilight, host alfresco dinners under a sky painted in shades of violet and gold. The panoramic views
sweep seamlessly across lush olive groves and rolling countryside, stretching all the way to the shimmering blue horizon of the
Aegean Sea.

Location & Lifestyle : Authentic Cretan quietness.
Provarma retains the unspoiled grace of old Crete, a quiet, intimate village surrounded by nature's rhythm, away from crowded
tourist centers yet wonderfully connected. A short drive brings you to the golden sandy beaches of Kalyves and Almyrida,
traditional tavernas serving farm-to-table delicacies, and the vibrant Venetian harbor of Chania.

About CostAnita Villas, Kalyves

Kalyves Centre Kalyves Chania, Crete 73003 Greece

Costanita Villas is a family business run and owned by local businessman Kosta Krasaki and his Australian wife Anita.

As Kosta is a local guy, growing up in Chania, Gavalochori and Almyrida he has extensive knowledge of the local area and a good idea of property opportunities that are available.

Kosta started out working in hospitality for his family business. At the age of 10 years old he began working as a labourer for a local builder to pass the winter months until the Taverna reopened. He realised early on that general maintenance was an ongoing part of hospitality and decided to take on the responsibility himself. He learned the skills of general maintenance and was doing all kinds of repairs with either wood, metal or plumbing. He has been in and out of the building industry ever since.

Kosta’s first major project was building the family home in Almyrida. The following project was 2 luxury villas in Gavalochori and then on to another traditional villa in Gavalochori which was completely renovated and sub divided into 2 separate dwellings.

Kosta’s experience in the building trade grew after meeting Anita. Every winter they travel back to Australia were Kosta works as a carpenter/builder increasing his level of skill. Whether it be building Villas in Crete or luxury homes in Australia, Kosta is always ready to take on a new project.

Anita grew up outside of Sydney, Australia and has been in the hospitality trade for many years. Starting out as a Pizza Chef way back when she was 14yrs old she has now worked in 3 different countries running busy Wine Bars, Cafs, Pubs Hotels and Tavernas.

Anita and her mother Janelle had 2 very successful country Hotels in Kent, U.K for a period of 10yrs. Both had B+B facilities, one hotel with 8 letting rooms and the other with 18 letting rooms. It was Anita’s involvement in the maintenance, renovating and decorating aspect of this side of the business that started Anita thinking about the property industry.

And so Costanita Villas was created.
