About this property

Apartment Levante, Carefree stay on a private farm, 1 km away from the beach

  • Situated on a 20.000 sq.m working farm with animals in their own fenced spaces (100 m. away from the apartment). Two bedrooms (one with a double bed and another one with two single beds that can be joined together and serve as a double bed), a bathroom with shower, indoor sitting area for 4, an adequately equipped kitchen and a spacious porch overlooking the olive grove. Ideal for couples or families. Private and secure parking space under the shade of the trees. Combined with "Lefkogia Cottage on a farm" (Home Away ID 6974845) that can accommodate 5 persons, works also for larger groups who can have their own separate lodging and yet be together enjoying the outdoor space. Numerous different beaches in a range of 1-5 km distance and even many more, following one another, makes it possible for you to choose a different beach every day! Surrounded by a magnifiscent mountain scenery, its location gives you access also to the nearby hills for enjoying relaxing walks visiting the churches up or sit still and just take in the view of the sea and the sun setting to her arms. Our nearby gorge, known as Kourtalikotis, is full of surprises for those who would love to explore it. The palm forest beach of Prevelis and the surrounding charming villages of Plakias, Myrthios and Sellia make our location simply irresistible. The local tavernas with excellent home made traditional receipies, good wine and raki just add to the perfection!
    IMPORTANT NOTE: A special 2025 offer to all our guests, a private trip with our 10m. speed boat, exploring a part of the nearby coastline with a stop on a beach, accessible only by boats, for snorkeling. Duration of trip 3 hours. Offer valid for 2025 from May 15 to October 25, only for stays no less than 20 nights.

great little village villa

We had a great experience staying at Lefkogia Farm! Betty and Elais prepared the cottage to high standards. The house was well furnished and Betty provided a welcome basket of snacks, drinks, and fresh olive oil. Betty kindly gave us recommendations for local beach, restaurants, and travel routes. Elais was great with our daughter showing her how to feed their farm animals. The property itself was beautiful, ideal for a family with young children-there is a playground and farm animals. The scenery is exceptional-surrounded by beautiful mountains and there are 3 beautiful beaches literally down the street! We highly recommend staying at the property.

Traumhaft - absolut lovely

We stayed there for two weeks and arrived with huge exceptions after 3 years without holidays caused by the pandemic. And everything was much better than we hoped to find. Betty and Hlias are such lovely hosts, the farm is so beautiful, surrounded by old olive trees, you’ll find a place where you can relax in a private atmosphere. But, there are taverns and the most beautiful natural beach walking distance or one - two minutes by car. This place calm us down and we had a amazing time there. It’s a remarkable place and we’ll come back as soon as we can. Judith, Lucie and Hauke

Emplacement idéal et cadre agréable

Couple avec 2 enfants, nous avons passé 1 semaine dans la ferme de Betty. Son emplacement situé Lefkogia est idéal pour profiter du sud de la crète autour de Plakias. Les plages aux alentours sont propres et adaptés aux jeunes enfants et l'eau y est translucide. Concernant l'appartement, il est très fonctionnel avec un bel espace extérieur. La ferme a ravi nos enfants avec ses animaux et ses beaux espaces avec de nombreux oliviers. Les propriétaires, Betty et son mari sont très agréables et sympathiques. Nous les remercions pour toutes les attentions qu'ils ont eu pendant cette semaine. Nous recommandons sans hésiter !!

Tolles Apartment, wunderschöne Farm

Das Apartment war excellent sauber, sehr gute Air-Conditions und bequeme Betten. Die Einrichtung ist hübsch und geschmackvoll (so wie alles auf der Farm). Auf der schönen Terrasse gibt es einen großen Tisch. Toll - gerade für die Kinder - sind auch Tiere im unteren Farmteil (sogar Pferde auf denen die Kinder reiten konnten). Im Ort bekommt man alles für den täglichen Bedarf. Traumbuchten sind in 5 Minuten mit dem Auto zu erreichen. Die Gastgeber kümmern sich rührend um alles. Das Farmgelände ist ummauert; d.h die Kinder haben schon früh morgens die Tiere gefüttert während wir entspannt und etwas später in den Tag gestartet sind (schwimmen sollten sie aber unbeaufsichtigt wegen des Teiches können). Insgesamt wunderbare erholsame Tage; mit deutlich mehr Platz und Aktivitäten als in einem Hotel. Sehr zu empfehlen!

Lefkogia Farm - just a perfect place!

We just got back from the most beautiful holidays ever! Betty and Elias‘ „Lefkogia farm“ is even more than paradise….unbelievable! Those 2 are wonderful hosts! The apartments are perfectly organized and nothing is missing. Elias and Betty built it all by themselves and it is a pleasure to see how much love they put in it! It is a calm place, away from the daily hustle but close to everything you need (beaches, taverns, bakery, supermarket). Our daughter loved to help w/ the animals and we were very close to „adopt“ Lucy, 😄, a little dog who stole our hearts! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you, for having us there!!!! We will be back!!! Jana, Nicole and Clea

Just great!

We (2 adults, 2 girls, 9 and 11 years old ) just returned from our fantastic stay at Lefkogia farm. In fact there is nothing to be added to all recommendations listed here before. We enjoyed our stay at Betty and Elias´ beautiful place so much! We felt really comfortable and appreciated the peaceful environment and warm atmosphere . Betty took even care of towels and cleaned the apartment every few days. Our girls became best friends with Naja, Lucy, Whiskey , Master and all the other animals that they took care of every day with great pleasure. Nice beaches and hiking paths with panorama view, tavernas, small shops and super markets can be found in close distance to the farm. Thank you so much, Betty and Elias, for this wonderful relaxing time! We will be back next year!
