Bring your group together in two or three villas, each with its own pool, in Asteri near Rethymno. MAZI sleeps up to 12, 14 or 20 guests: family reunions, three generations, groups of friends or wedding guests who want to be close without sharing one house.
MAZI combines two or three of Villa Asteri, Villa Kitron and Villa Myrrini, three independent villas with private pools in Asteri Village near Rethymno, for up to 12, 14 or 20 guests.

Relatives and friends can stay near one another before and after a wedding held elsewhere in the Rethymno area. The villas are for accommodation, not for ceremonies, receptions or parties.
A calm base for a small team or a retreat of up to 20 people, with a villa for each group and 200 Mbps Wi-Fi in every villa. Best outside the peak summer weeks; the villas are open all year, with heating in every room and a fireplace in the living room. Tell Argyris what you plan.
Explore the Rethymno hills, gorges and the Psiloritis foothills by day, then return to your own villa and pool. Spring and autumn suit walking and cycling best.

None of the villas is wheelchair accessible. If someone in the group prefers fewer steps, this helps decide who stays where.
Guest numbers are the maximum number of guests. The room plan decides the better pairing, so tell Argyris how the group divides.
Villa Kitron + Villa Myrrini. 6 bedrooms, 5 bathrooms + 1 WC. About 60 m apart on foot. Myrrini has the children’s pool; Kitron has a bathroom for every bedroom.
Villa Asteri + Villa Kitron. 7 bedrooms, 7 bathrooms + 1 WC. The closest pair, about 30 m apart on foot.
Villa Asteri + Villa Myrrini. 7 bedrooms, 6 bathrooms. Both villas have a children’s pool. About 90 m apart on foot.
All three villas. 10 bedrooms, 9 bathrooms + 1 WC, three private pools and three kitchens.
Villa Argiris, our fourth villa, is in a different location: Stavromenos, about 2.6 km from Asteri Village, a short drive away. It is not part of MAZI and is booked separately, subject to availability. Together with the three MAZI villas it allows up to 28 guests in two locations. Ask Argyris whether it can work for your group.
MAZI is a flexible multi-villa stay in Asteri, near Rethymno. It combines two or all three of Villa Asteri, Villa Kitron and Villa Myrrini, depending on the group. Each villa remains independent, with its own bedrooms, kitchen, living spaces, outdoor area and private pool.
MAZI means “together” in Greek. That’s the whole idea: families and friends close enough to share the holiday, while each household keeps its own home, pool and pace.
MAZI is simply a way for a group to stay together. It isn’t a resort, a private village, one big villa or an event venue. I look after the villas and give you local advice; each villa is a private home for the people staying in it.
Each villa stays private to the households in it. What you share, and where, is agreed with Argyris before you arrive.
Asteri gives MAZI its character: a small village near Rethymno, where Villa Asteri, Villa Kitron and Villa Myrrini form a practical base for shared holidays.
The villas are not beachfront, and a car is recommended for beaches, shopping and day trips. Nearby dining options are available in and around Asteri; check opening days and hours locally.
Each guide answers one decision. Start with the one that matches your group.

No. They are three independent villas in the village of Asteri, a short walk apart: about 30 m between Villa Asteri and Villa Kitron, 60 m between Villa Kitron and Villa Myrrini, and 90 m between Villa Asteri and Villa Myrrini. Ask Argyris about steps and slopes on the routes if this matters for your group.
The full MAZI configuration accommodates up to 20 guests. For larger groups there is also Villa Argiris, in a different location: Stavromenos, about 2.6 km from Asteri Village. It is not part of MAZI and is booked separately; together with the three MAZI villas it allows up to 28 guests in two locations. Ask Argyris whether it can work for one household of your group; availability and the travel plan between the two locations are confirmed case by case.
Yes. Each villa has a private pool. Villa Asteri and Villa Myrrini also have a separate children’s pool, and Villa Kitron has integrated hydromassage in its main pool. Children must always be supervised by an adult around every pool.
Guests in a MAZI group may use the pools of the villas in their booking only with a written agreement. Children must always be supervised and may use the pools only with their parents present.
Yes, on request. Meals together can be arranged at one of the villas. Agree with Argyris before arrival which villa hosts the meal and how many people will join, so the table and space are ready. A private chef or catering is available on request.
Direct MAZI bookings include the Cretan Breakfast Basket at each booked villa, for all dates. Grocery pre-stocking and a private chef can be arranged on request.
Yes. MAZI is designed for groups who want to stay close while each household keeps its own bedrooms, kitchen, living space and pool.

Villa Asteri has two ground-floor bedrooms with a small step at the entrance. Villa Myrrini is on one level inside but is reached by 17 steps from the parking. Argyris can help you place each household.
Yes. MAZI can accommodate wedding guests attending a celebration elsewhere in the Rethymno area.
No. The villas are for accommodation only, not for weddings, ceremonies, receptions, parties or events.
Send a MAZI enquiry. Argyris checks every villa you need for the same dates and sends one combined proposal. The price is the sum of the current direct-booking prices of the villas you choose, with no separate MAZI charge.
There is no separate MAZI minimum. The minimum stay varies by villa and season, and Argyris confirms it for your dates in the proposal. For a shorter stay, for example a wedding weekend, ask Argyris what is possible for your dates.
Yes, for stays of 6 nights or more: each villa has one clean during a 6- or 7-night stay, and more for longer stays, with three cleans in two weeks. Bed linen and towels are changed at each clean.
Pets are welcome on request. Please ask Argyris before booking, so he can confirm for your dates and villas.
No. The Greek government climate resilience fee (€15 per villa per night from April to October, €4 from November to March) is included in the price and paid at the villa during your stay, not with the deposit; if you do not arrive, it is not charged.
Argyris replies personally, usually within 12 hours.
Yes. Share who is travelling, how many households are coming and what matters most, such as children’s arrangements, quieter rooms or ground-floor bedrooms, and Argyris will suggest the best two- or three-villa configuration.
A car is recommended for shopping, beaches, Rethymno and day trips. From the airports, hire a car or book a private transfer (taxi or minivan); Argyris can help arrange cars, transfers or a larger vehicle for the group through independent local providers.
MAZI isn’t booked online as one property; you arrange it with me. Tell me your dates, who’s coming and how the group splits into households. I’ll check which villas are available together, tell you which combination fits and give you the price for booking directly. Because I check the villas together, the room plan is agreed before anyone pays, not after.
Prefer to plan it household by household? Use the Group Stay Planner and send the plan to Argyris from there.
Share your dates and group details, and Argyris will check the villas in Asteri Village and help you plan the right two- or three-villa MAZI arrangement.
