Villa Diamond 1860

Villa Diamant 1860 is a beautifully restored stone house in the countryside of Southern Crete, just outside the village of Galia. Built in 1860 and carefully renovated, it combines authentic Cretan character with the comfort of modern outdoor living.

Hidden behind stone walls and surrounded by mature trees, the property offers complete privacy. Step through the gate and you’ll discover a spacious courtyard with several outdoor living areas, a private swimming pool, sun loungers, an outdoor shower, and shaded corners designed for relaxing from morning until evening.

Under the large tree, a stone dining table and BBQ create the perfect setting for long summer meals with family and friends. Whether you’re enjoying breakfast in the shade, cooling off in the pool, or sharing a glass of wine under the stars, life here naturally slows down.

Inside, the house retains its original character. Thick stone walls, exposed wooden ceilings, handcrafted lighting, vintage furnishings, and carefully chosen details reflect the history of a home that has stood here for more than 160 years.

You enter through the traditional kitchen, featuring a handmade wooden dining table and all the essentials for a comfortable stay. A few steps lead to the central living area, where old-world charm meets thoughtful restoration. The bathroom includes a walk-in rain shower and a washing machine, while a separate door provides direct access to the pool area.

Upstairs, the master bedroom features a double bed and a private balcony overlooking the surrounding countryside. A second bedroom with bunk beds is connected to the main bedroom, making Villa Diamant 1860 ideal for couples, small families, or guests seeking a unique and authentic Cretan experience.

Located just a short drive from Moires and within easy reach of the beaches, villages, and natural beauty of Southern Crete, Villa Diamant 1860 offers something increasingly rare: a genuine historic home where privacy, character, and outdoor living come together.

This is not a modern villa built to imitate tradition. It is a genuine Cretan house steeped in history, restored with care and ready to welcome its guests.
