A Unique Opportunity in the Heart of Douliana

A rare opportunity to own a versatile building with large land in one of the most popular villages in the region. Originally a family home, it has been used over recent years as a successful and much-loved traditional taverna, and has the potential for several options.

The property can continue to operate as a hospitality business. Effectively 3 connected buildings, the central building features a dining room used for winter dining, with a service station, two toilets, and a storeroom.

To the left is a spacious, fully equipped commercial kitchen catering for both indoor and outdoor dining areas, but could be further utilized for large events or external off-site functions. The space would also be ideal for cookery lessons or other creative classes such as dance, pottery, language, etc.

To the right of the central building is an impressive second room with a double-height wooden vaulted ceiling, and locally quarried stone walls creating a lovely winter dining room, classroom or small private function room.

Outside, the generous grounds have been arranged to include private parking for guests, extensive outdoor dining terraces, and a children’s play area. Surrounded by mature olive trees and lush greenery, the beautiful courtyard captures the authentic charm of a traditional Cretan garden, providing the perfect setting for al fresco dining, weddings, celebrations, retreats, and other special events.

The flexibility of this property is one of its greatest strengths and there is an option to buy all 3 of the buildings and land, or 2 parts.

It could easily be configured to combine a commercial business with owner’s accommodation for those wishing to live and work on the same premises. Alternatively, due to the location it would lend itself perfectly to a wellness or yoga retreat, a character boutique hospitality venture, or converted back into an impressive and spacious family villa with beautiful gardens.

Properties of this size and versatility are rarely available in this picturesque heritage village. Whether you are looking for an existing business, mix of business and residential or a unique family home, this outstanding property offers exceptional potential.
