Spiti Athina

Holiday villa in Crete

Problem

  • No own website — dependent on Airbnb and VRBO for visibility
  • No direct booking option outside of platforms
  • Difficult to convey the unique atmosphere of the villa online
  • No multilingual presence for international guests

Approach

  • Multilingual website (NL/EN) built with Astro for maximum speed
  • Photo gallery with optimized WebP images and lazy loading
  • Booking integration with Airbnb and VRBO calendar
  • Local tips and area information as extra content
  • Contact form with anti-spam and review section for trust
  • CMS-like admin panel for independent content management

Outcome

  • Professional, fast website that perfectly captures the villa atmosphere
  • Guests can contact directly without platform fees
  • Excellent Lighthouse scores (performance, SEO, accessibility)
  • Owner can update content independently via admin panel

Tech notes

Astro static site, multilingual (NL/EN), self-hosted Google Fonts, WebP/AVIF images, PHP contact form, lazy-loaded Google Maps. Admin panel with .htpasswd security.
