Villa Kallergi - Athena: A Timeless Retreat in Loutra, Crete
Welcome to a Family Legacy :
Step into Villa Kallergi - Athena, a cherished family-run heaven in the peaceful medieval village of Loutra, Rethymno Prefecture, where hospitality has thrived for over 25 years since ~1999. Pioneers on platforms like Homeaway (later Vrbo & Abritel), TripAdvisor (since 2006) and Airbnb (since 2010), we’ve earned a stellar 4.88-5/5 rating from hundreds of guests who rave about our authentic experience, breathtaking views, and thoughtful design. Rated 9.2/10 on Booking.com and praised as a “perfect family villa” on TripAdvisor, this is more than a stay—it’s a home crafted with love.
Unrivaled Space and Design :
Spanning 640 square meters of seamlessly integrated indoor and outdoor space, our villa welcomes 12 guests across 6 private suites, each with its own bathroom and most featuring kitchenettes for self-catered convenience. The loft-style master suite, stretching over two floors, offers a luxurious retreat with ample space and charm. In 2025, we’ve redefined luxury with a newly redesigned swimming pool area, perfect for refreshing dips and social gatherings. Ascend to our two-level roof terrace—a cozy lounge for evening bonding and a sunbathing heaven by day, where sunbeds transform into seating as the sun sets, offering panoramic sea views under the stars.
Historic and Natural Wonders :
Immerse yourself in history with a 200+ year-old vine that climbs from the ground floor to the roof garden, yielding sweet grapes in August-September, and a medieval courtyard entrance that whispers tales of old Crete. Inside, a concert piano in the main lounge invites music lovers to create unforgettable moments, blending culture with comfort.
Unparalleled Comfort :
Rest easy on Cocomat beds and mattresses, crafted from hypoallergenic materials to ensure a healthy, restful sleep—a feature guests consistently highlight in reviews. Every detail, from the airy suites to the thoughtfully designed common areas, reflects our commitment to your well-being.
A Personal Touch :
Your stay begins with a warm welcome basket featuring organic fruits, local spirits, homemade jams from my mother, chocolate cake, and goodies for families with kids—personal touches that set us apart. Our 25-year legacy shines through in every corner, offering a boutique experience tailored to groups seeking authenticity over mass luxury.
Prime Location with a Twist :
Nestled in Loutra, a serene medieval village, enjoy views to the sea , the olive groves and village rooftops and easy access to Rethymno’s central attractions—both a pro and a con due to the lack of a nearby airport, ensuring a peaceful escape planned around the April-November low-cost flight season. Chania (60 km) and Heraklion (80 km) airports connect you to this hidden gem.

Summary: In the beginning of june 2016 we spent 8 wonderful days in Villa Athina. We were three generations: father with his three grown up children and five grandchildren between 10 and 17 years. Alltogether 12 persons! The Villa is situated in the heart of a little historical Cretan village Loutra and is beautifully framed by arcaic olive groves. The villa is surrounded on two sides by a whitewashed wall and there in the gate stood Mr. Costas Kallergi himself, friendly welcomimg us and showing us around in the gardenlike and beautifully renovated villa-complex. Very impressing were the many terraces, embedded in lush greenery, on different levels with access to the suite-like bedrooms, all equipped with bathroom and kitchinette with fridge. From the garden-level with a little pool (highly appreciated by the youngest) a few steps lead up to the large dining terrace next to the new stonewalled grill, nestled in wineleafs. In the same level, via a little charming tree-shadowed patio, you come to the kitchen with a very high standard of equipments. It was in open connection with the large inside area for leisure with sofas, piano, fireplace, TV etc. In the kitchen was a generous fruit-basqet welcoming us, in the fridge a lot of juices, cheeses, wine etc. This generous gesture was very appriciated. Villa Athina was perfect for us, it never felt crowded though we were so many people. In the evening we all had dinner on the terrace, our Chef des Rotisseurs was handling the grill, preparing lamb, fish or vedgetables while tasting the local wine. Fresh fish and lambsmeat we found in Rethymnon market in 15 min distance. After dinner we could just relax with a nice mixture of leisure activities in groups or together. From the comfortable easychairs on the upper terrace we could have a drink while enjoying the sunset over the sea. The last evening we had an unforgettable supper in the neighbourhood in a paradise-like taverna where we could follow the preparing of all kind of Cretan dishes. All herbs, vedgetables, fruits were from their garden. The lamb was rosted in the outdoor kitchen, the magic smell of rosemary and garlic made us euforic and we enjoyed the dinner under the pergola while the sun set over the sea of King Minos. Finally, we all are very greatful to Costas, Dimitrios and Andreas for their hostility during our stay. For us all it has become a memory for lifetime.

Summary: Villa Athena is a great place to stay. It is a villa with all comfort you could ask for. Spacious enough to host 13 adults and two (very small) kids even. It is decorated inside and outside with so much attention to detail. We enjoyed our stay tremendously and will definitely stay in the villa again, should we come back to Crete. Thank you again for the lovely, warm and overwelming hospitality!

Summary: We spent a 4 generation family vacation in Kallergi villa. It was the perfect place for 10 adults (including my 86 year old grandfather) and 2 babies. The location made touring the island very comfortable, the villa itself was beautiful, quiet and spacious. Every room had a private en-suite bathroom (of the 5 we used) and Costas was a wonderful host- even brought a birthday cake!!! We found the villa well equipped, including a big jar of olive oil, wine and milk. it was the perfect family vacation!

Summary: We all had a very good vacation in Villa Athena. The house - whow! Just perfect for us. To be able to be private and at the same time have theese marvellous spaces together. This labyrinth-like house has a great charm. The kids (12, 5, 5, 3 years old) loved the pool, of course. The house was very clean and everything functioned well. The landlord´s kindness and thoughtfullness warmed us. He also succeded in getting some french words out of us. I belive we understood eachother to a sufficient extent. We had some meals at the taverna, some distance away. Very good and nice. Several times we ordered food from delivery-service which was surprisingly good, fast and cheap. And we had very nice meals together at the lovely terrace. My wife and I walked around in the area and later in the afternoons joined the others at the beach. Much more left to see, of course, but we experienced much. So my wife and I, the two daughters with husband/boyfriend and the children had a wonderful time. Efcharisto poly (or however you would spell that).

Summary: We were a group of 10 American college students studying abroad looking for a spring break plan. The house was wonderful - roomy, comfortable, good internet. The house has great outdoor spaces too - a roof deck and a terrace perfect for breakfast or lunch. The owners were very kind; they checked in on us to make sure everything was ok. They even let us use the pool of the house next door that they also own. We enjoyed our stay immensely. One recommendation would be to rent a car, as the house is a 10 or 15 minute drive from Rethymno. There is, however, a public bus.

Summary: Our extended family of eight stayed for the Christmas holidays. We are finding it very hard to leave. The villa is spotlessly clean, comfortable, and provides ample privacy for everyone. Every bedroom has a bath and most have a kitchenette. Of course, there is room for family gatherings in the dining and living rooms and outside terraces. The owners are very generous. When we arrived, the villa was decorated for Christmas, the kitchen stocked with bread, cheese, fruit and wine, as well as delicious home made cake and cookies. The washing machine broke while we were here, and the owners had a brand new one installed the same day! We would definitely return.
