Discover a cozy 35 m² stone cottage, a private retreat in the peaceful village of Sellia, Chania (Apokoronas). Ideal for couples or solo travelers, this charming home features a private OUTDOOR bathroom, traditional architecture, a kitchenette, and a lovely stone courtyard. Just 12 mins from beaches and surrounded by nature. Authentic Crete at your doorstep.
You can enjoy calmness of a village house, which is not far from any activities and you can walk to the forest of Roupakias which is nearby
The space
Welcome to our rustic stone retreat in the heart of Sellia, a quiet and traditional village in Chania's Apokoronas region. This thoughtfully restored 35 m² cottage blends old-world charm with modern comfort.
Inside, you’ll find a comfy double bed, a sofa, air conditioning, Wi-Fi, and a fully equipped kitchenette. The standout feature is your private outdoor bathroom, just steps from the house — fully covered and for your exclusive use, offering a refreshing, authentic Cretan experience. It has hot water through solar water heater.
Enjoy relaxing in your private courtyard, perfect for dining al fresco, reading under the sun, or stargazing at night. The home is an ideal base to explore western Crete — from nearby beaches and hiking trails to hidden villages and local tavernas.
A rental car is REQUIRED. There is no public transport or taxi service in the village, and most attractions (beaches, lake, wineries, hikes) are 10–15 minutes away by car
Guest access
Guests have full and exclusive access to the house, the private courtyard, and the private outdoor bathroom. Parking is available
Other things to note

Dourakis Winery – Only 10 minutes away, this family-owned vineyard offers wine tastings and guided tours in a scenic Cretan setting.
Kalivaki Beach – Located in Georgioupolis, this beautiful and lesser-known beach features a small river flowing into the sea, creating areas with refreshingly cold water—perfect on hot days!

Lake Kournas – Crete’s only freshwater lake. Try paddle boating, lakeside cafés, or a gentle nature walk.
