🌟 ABOUT US — OUR STORY
A Family Who Fell in Love with Crete, Greece
We are a family of five living in Stuttgart - my wife, our daughter, our two cat daughters Lucy & Pishi, and myself.
I work as an engineer at Bosch, and my wife is a successful self-employed beautician. After a long working year, our favorite escape has always been the Greek islands.
We visited Lefkada, Kos, Rhodes and Crete - and among all of them, Crete became our absolute favorite place for a family vacation.
Why Crete?
Crete has everything a Traveller can wish for:
- beautiful sandy beaches,
- impressive gorges and mountains,
- scenic drives and Hikes,
- a rich cultural and historical heritage.
But most of all, it’s the Cretan hospitality that captured our hearts.
The people are warm, welcoming and genuinely kind - something you feel immediately when you arrive. For anyone looking to disconnect and truly relax, this warm and authentic atmosphere is priceless.
And we also discovered that the best way to experience real Cretan culture, food and hidden gems is by staying in vacation rentals and private villas, not large hotels - another advantage we loved, because with a private villa you have the flexibility to visit different beaches, explore new places, try various restaurants and truly get to know the local culture at your own pace.
Supporting Local Communities
During our holidays in villas around cities like Heraklion, Rethymno and Chania, we realized how much visitors can support the local economy when they choose vacation rentals.
By staying in a villa or apartment, you help:
- local supermarkets,
- local restaurants and tavernas,
- cafés and bars,
- family-run shops,
- and all the local people involved in villa maintenance - cleaning, laundry, gardening, pool care and more.
This connection between tourism and local communities is important to us and was a big part of our motivation.
And of Course… the Privacy
One of the biggest advantages of renting a luxury villa in Crete is the privacy.
You have the entire home and the pool just for yourself - no noise, no crowds, and no need to “reserve” sunbeds with towels! 😄
It’s the perfect way to relax and enjoy a peaceful Cretan holiday.
How Lucy Lux Villa Began
In summer 2023, after many unforgettable holidays on the island, we decided to invest in a place we could call our second home - and share it with others.
We visited many villas between Chania, Rethymno, Heraklion and Agios Nikolaos until, at the end of 2024, we found the property that felt perfect.
It had everything we were searching for in a holiday home in Crete:
- a beautiful sea view,
- a large private pool,
- a peaceful and quiet location away from busy cities,
- yet close to beaches, restaurants and attractions,
- only 38 minutes from Heraklion’s current airport and even closer to the future new airport,
- and ideal for couples, families and groups of friends looking to rent a villa in Crete.
We purchased the villa, renovated it with care, and furnished it to feel just like home - for our guests and for ourselves.
Our Promise to Guests
We genuinely care about how our guests feel during their stay.
We are constantly adding new amenities, improving comfort, and listening to feedback to create the best possible experience.
We are already planning to add a small gym and more features to make Lucy Lux Villa one of the most welcoming luxury villas in Crete for families and friends.
Our end goal is simple:
to create a Dream Villa where guests love to return.
Lucy Lux Villa is more than just a vacation rental - it is our dream, our second home, and a place we are proud to share with Guests who want to experience the beauty and hospitality of Crete.
