School House 1922 – Historic Villa with Rooftop Terrace, Telescope & Mountain View

Sleep inside a piece of Crete's history. The stone school that became a luxury villa.



Built in 1922, School House 1922 was originally the first kindergarten of Krousonas. Where children's voices once filled the classrooms, guests today enjoy a unique luxury retreat that has been carefully restored while preserving its authentic historical character.



Offering 169 sq. m. of exclusive living space, the villa combines natural stone, wood, and traditional arches with every modern comfort.



The property features four pergolas and several private courtyards, a spectacular 90 sq. m. living room (formerly the village kindergarten), panoramic views of Krousonas Village and Mount Psiloritis, a hydromassage bathtub, an outdoor gas fireplace, a BBQ area, private parking, high-speed Wi-Fi, and a fully equipped kitchen.



On the first floor, an 80 sq. m. covered rooftop terrace offers one of the property's most spectacular features: with no buildings blocking the view, guests enjoy an open panorama towards Mount Psiloritis and the surrounding mountains on one side, and towards Heraklion and the Cretan Sea on the other. Relax on one of the two benches or at either of the two tables with a morning coffee or an evening drink — and enjoy stargazing with the telescope provided, taking in the starry Cretan night sky.



What makes School House 1922 truly unique: the original stone plaque bearing the year of construction — 1922, a distinctive P-shaped courtyard layout inspired by ancient Greek architecture, authentic stone walls and arches throughout, four pergolas and multiple courtyards, Minoan-inspired architecture, and a century-old building transformed into an unforgettable hospitality experience.



You are not simply staying in a house. You are living its history.
