Geroulios Estate l Weddings Events & Yoga Retreat

Geroulios Estate - A luxury villa complex in Apokoronas, Chania, featuring nine bedrooms, two private pools, and spacious outdoor areas, perfect for yoga retreats, private events, parties, weddings, and peaceful getaways. Nestled in the serene traditional village of Embrosneros in a secluded location, the estate consists of two independent luxury villas in Crete that harmoniously blend modern elegance with authentic Cretan charm, surrounded by olive groves and the tranquil countryside. Guests can enjoy breathtaking views of the sea and majestic mountains.

Indoor Facilities
Together, the two villas feature a total of nine bedrooms spread across multiple levels, offering spacious living areas, three fully equipped kitchens, and elegant ensuite bedrooms designed for comfort and style. Both residences are thoughtfully designed with a focus on relaxation and wellness, including two fireplaces, a jacuzzi, and a sauna. One of the villas includes a dedicated indoor yoga area, making it ideal for yoga retreats in Crete and wellness groups. In addition, the expansive outdoor spaces of both villas provide multiple serene spots perfectly suited for yoga sessions, meditation, or peaceful moments surrounded by nature.

Outdoor Facilities
Surrounded by olive trees and the untouched beauty of the Cretan countryside, Geroulios Estate offers expansive outdoor areas ideal for yoga retreats, private events, parties, weddings, and intimate celebrations. Guests can enjoy two private swimming pools (both of which feature a heating system), dining areas, an equipped outdoor kitchen,  barbecues, and open terraces perfect for yoga sessions or meditation under the Cretan sun.

Thanks to its unique hillside location, the estate ensures absolute tranquillity, total privacy, and no sound restrictions, making it the perfect setting for gatherings, retreats, or events, and unforgettable moments with family and friends. From sunrise meditations to evening dinners under the stars, Geroulios Estate is a place where nature, luxury, and serenity come together in perfect harmony.
