"Sweet Pigi" family home

"Sweet Pigi", is our recently renovated family home in one of the most beautiful, historic and emblematic villages in Rethymnon area and can comfortably accommodate a family of 4 (exceptionally one more). It is located at the most enviable neighborhood of Pigi village, at the square of the patron church of Agios Nikolaos (Saint Nicholas), in a close walking distance of few meters from the village's shopping facilities, cafes and taverns which are among Rethymnon visitors favorite choices. For everyday's necessities a super market, a bakery, butcher’s shops, a pharmacy, as well as a bus stop can be found there too. Two parking areas in a very close distance can freely serve your cars.

House structure

The renovation on the building respected all the visible old masonry and plaster coating, leaving to a large extent their "rough" appearance. The house applies a green energy policy covering most of its electricity consumption from photovoltaic panels on the building's roof and providing hot water from a solar water heater. A modern form of thermal insulation has been applied to the building and in combination with the high tech air conditioners in all bedrooms and sitting rooms provide the conditions for a comfortable living in the summer. For the cooler months, a low consumption heat pump takes care of house's heating via underfloor heating. Additionally, high-aesthetically thermally insulated hinged aluminium doors and windows have been installed. Power sockets all over the house and Wifi access points in both floors assure internet coverage is available throughout the house while a 43’’ smart tv may also provide you with content over the Internet with Netflix account

Ground floor

As you enter the house from the main entrance, a small kitchenette with exit to the ground floor veranda, a bathroom boasting a shower spot, a small reception area with it’s wooden ceiling and a comfortable corner to enjoy your favourite book welcomes you in the space that a century ago was the house's wine cellar. The sitting room area features a comfortable sofa that can be used exceptionally as a bed and a wonderful old stone doorway arche leads through the door to the ground floor veranda. Moreover, an elegant metal door gives access to the northern alley.

First floor

Climbing up the metal staircase with the wooden steps and under the mesmerising light effect of the circular skylight you are charmingly invited to the open plan kitchen, dining and sitting room area with a single layout where you can prepare and enjoy your meals or proceed to the terrace with its large sun umbrella and comfy aluminium chair sittings where you can relax enjoying the beautiful view of Agios Nikolaos church.
