The Story

Designed for slow mornings and long evenings

Villa Yoma sits quietly above Kefalas village, where olive groves cascade toward the Cretan coast. Every surface — the cool cement underfoot, the hand-selected walnut, the open-plan kitchen that spills into the terrace — was shaped to dissolve the boundary between indoors and the landscape beyond.

Rattan pendant lights, terracotta tones, and natural stone create a warmth that feels both contemporary and deeply rooted in Cretan craft. Every choice was made with one vision in mind: merging modern design with the raw, timeless natural beauty of Crete and the Greek landscape.

"Architecture here does not compete with nature. It frames it — and then steps aside."

Location

Kefalas — the quieter side of Crete

Perched in the hills of western Crete's Apokoronas region, Kefalas is a village of stone houses, afternoon shade, and neighbours who greet you by name. Known since antiquity and once home to the rulers of the region, the village carries centuries of history in its quiet lanes. Step outside and the scent of Greek herbs drifts from the surrounding fields. The coast is a short drive away. The tourist crowds are not.

"The villa exceeded every expectation. The pool with the sea view was magical at sunset, and the KORRES products in the bathrooms were a lovely touch. We didn't want to leave."

"Impeccably clean, beautifully designed. The Starlink internet was fast enough for all our video calls. We combined work and holiday perfectly — something rare to find."

"Kefalas is the real Crete. The owners gave us recommendations no guidebook ever could — tiny tavernas, secret swimming spots. This felt like a home, not a rental."

— Clara V. (Netherlands)
