Domus Polymnia
Domus Polymnia is built with the Greek traditional triptych : local mansonry, wood casings and metal platings. The timeless traditional architectural style formed the whole building from exterior to interior parts, floors and ceilings. The ideal orientation to the south, protects the mansion from the cold winter winds as also from the vertical summer sunlight, while it is favored from the soft sun light during the mild months. Fully renovated with great care and respect to its historical architectural tradition, Domus Polymnia is an excelent blend of traditional style, artistic taste and modern comforts. A small architectural jewel in the center of Spili for an ideal stay, all year around.
What has made Domus Polymnia the most qualitative accomodation choice in Spili, is our strong faith in preserving a system of different values and qualities, which strongly affect the inspiration of the local society and innovate the local tourism industry
Spili is located in the hearth of Rethymnon Prefecture lying for thousands of years on the main crossroads of southern Crete. The area’s highland landscape enriched with wild gorges, flowered valles, rivers and fertile plateaus is demarcated harmoniously by four of the biggest giants of Crete. Idi (2.456 m.), Kedros (1.777m.), Soros (1186m.), Siderotas (1.142m.) domine the enfolded scenery, in which mythical Vorizis (930 m.) has its own special place hanging impressively over the village. Unxplored paths, countryside roads and routes, venetian castles, byzantine monasteries, old mills, archaeological sites, fresh air and unique views, vibrate the senses in a continuous time travel.
