Welcome to Spiliara Apartments, your mountain hideaway in the serene village of Axos. Here, time moves slower, the air feels fresher, and the charm of traditional Cretan life is all around you. Our three lovingly restored homes invite you to unwind, reconnect, and experience Crete in its purest form.

Feel the Spirit of Crete

Spiliara isn’t just a place to sleep—it’s a place to feel. The design is simple yet soulful, with earthy tones, natural materials, and timeless charm. Whether you’re curled up by the fire or enjoying a quiet moment on your terrace, every space invites you to slow down and soak in the peaceful rhythm of village life.

Outdoor Spaces to Savor

Step into our shared courtyard, a peaceful haven where mornings start with birdsong and fresh mountain air, and evenings are for stargazing and storytelling. It’s a space that naturally brings people together—or offers the perfect quiet corner for a good book.
