This spot is a real gem! We’ve been to Crete few times, but this was our first time being away from popular tourists areas and we loved it!. We visited local wineries and spent our evenings just resting at the cottage with the cats wandering about...

Because of the cottage location, we rented a car, and honestly, it was the perfect way to experience the island. We got to see mountains, plateaus and drive alongside the Cretan and Libyan sea. We followed Tonia’s website blog posts...

Welcome to Tonia's Cottage, a cozy and charming home in the peaceful village of Alagni, Crete. This beautiful cottage was once a winemaker’s house and has been lovingly brought back to life with a mix of traditional charm and all the comforts you need for a relaxing stay. Inside, you will find a warm living space with a comfy sofa bed, a small dining area, a fully equipped kitchen, and a modern bathroom. The bedroom is quiet and inviting, perfect for a restful night. You can enjoy the gentle breeze from the air conditioning, cozy up by the fireplace, or stay connected with Wi-Fi. Tonia's Cottage is not just a place to stay—it’s a chance to live like a local and enjoy the simple, heartfelt moments of village life. It’s a great spot to explore the nearby nature, history, and culture, including famous places like Knossos Palace. Whether you're here to relax in quiet comfort or explore all the wonderful places Crete has to offer, this home is ready to welcome you with open arms and a warm heart.
I’m Tonia, and I’m delighted to welcome you to my cottage here in Crete. I put a lot of love and care into restoring this home to create a cozy and inviting space where you can feel comfortable and relaxed. I enjoy meeting guests from all around the world and sharing my favorite local spots and tips to help you experience the best of our beautiful island. If you ever have questions or need anything during your stay, I’m always happy to help and make sure your time here is truly special.
Alagni may be small, but it has a big heart. Just 25 kilometers from Heraklion, it’s a quiet village rich in history, with nearby Minoan and Byzantine ruins. You can enjoy award-winning wines at family-run wineries like Lyrarakis or Stilianou, or simply relax under the platanus tree in the village square, where locals gather to share traditional Greek coffee. The village’s welcoming atmosphere lets you experience the authentic Cretan way of life, surrounded by nature and genuine hospitality. The village has deep roots tracing back to Minoan times and is connected to local traditions like the rakokazano celebration. Its fertile lands are known for producing excellent wine and olive oil, which remain central to the local life. Tonia’s Cottage isn’t just a place to sleep—it’s a place to be. Come for the peace, stay for the feeling. Here you can relax, explore, and truly taste the spirit of Crete
