Perched on a hillside overlooking Crete's picturesque north coast and a short drive from the gorgeous Venetian harbour of Rethymno's old town, this contemporary three-bedroom villa can comfortably accommodate up to six people in three bedrooms, making it ideally suited to a multi-generational family getaway or a Cretan countryside escape with your closest friends.

An open layout on the ground floor allows you to drift effortlessly from one area to the next, creating a wonderfully sociable space where everyone can gather together without feeling claustrophobic. Go with the flow, and you'll find yourself on the picturesque poolside patio, with loungers arranged around the water's edge, an inviting hammock slung in the shade of a couple of trees, and a covered dining area complete with a purpose-built barbecue for outdoor dining at its best.

In addition to a twin room on the ground floor, two further guestrooms upstairs enjoy access to a spacious balcony with jaw-dropping vistas in almost every direction. After brewing your morning drink of choice, we can think of little better than taking a seat out here in the cool morning air – it's an idyllic way to start the day.

The villa is just a short drive from the coast, where you can tuck into seafood lunches in traditional tavernas, top up your tan on the beaches and enjoy refreshing dips in the crystal-clear waters of the Aegean. Head west and uncover one of Crete's best-preserved medieval old towns around Rethymno's lovely harbour. Alternatively, you can continue along the coast to Chania for a chance to explore its labyrinthine backstreets and family-friendly beaches.

Divine Youth

This strikingly beautiful home is a luxurious Crete hideaway, surrounded by olive trees and manicured lawns. Outdoors, you can allow your troubles to melt away as you relax on the floating island sun beds. Grab your sunscreen and a good book to enjoy an afternoon soaking up the sunshine. If you aren’t sure what’s tickling your tastebuds for dinner, take some inspiration from the herb garden, vegetable patch and fruit trees, all waiting to help you create a delicious meal. When you are ready to rest your eyes, enjoy the serene feel of the bedroom decor. Neutral colours, golden accents and cosy bed runners ensure you can enjoy a restful night's sleep. 

In the morning, freshen up in your walk-in rainfall shower wrapped in marble tiles. Before your family wakes, you may even fancy enjoying your morning coffee tucked in your private balcony swing chair – just the spot to watch the sunrise. It’s all about the outside space for us here, so if you fancy a quiet day at home, the children's pool is attached to your private swimming pool, so you can rest easy knowing they are entertained. Relax on your sun lounger and watch on as they enjoy the cool water, their happy laughter the only sound punctuating the silence. As the sun begins to set on your day in paradise, look up at the blanket of stars above and enjoy the complete sense of peace this beautiful home affords.

Herb-Infused Hideaway

Rethymnon is one of Crete’s best preserved medieval towns. With its Folk Art Museum, Archaeological Museum, and historic monasteries and mosques, you’ll be glad to know this villa is a twelve-minute drive from the town centre. Or you might also be looking for golden beaches and Mediterranean waters – but that shouldn’t be a problem with a private beach just fifty metres from home.

This modern villa is a far cry from its ancient surroundings, designed with luxury in mind for the whole family. Upon arrival, your host offers a generous welcome basket of wine and fruit –  pour a glass to sip as you explore the home and grounds. White, wood, and marble dominate elegant, minimalist interiors. But for the little ones, the outdoor area will be the first port of call. The heated pool, swings, slide, and trampoline are sure to keep them busy.

You’ll also be able to live out some culinary experiences. The organic vegetable plot is accessible by guests, so you can pick fresh aubergines with the help of the host’s gardener. Marinate and grill up on your barbecue, before gathering the family on the verandah for a wholesome dinner at sunset.

Two Dolphins

The first thing you’ll notice about this home is the view. Panoramic vistas across the Psiloritis mountains and sparkling Aegean sea will quite literally leave you in awe. From the moment you arrive, you’re surrounded by the scent of fresh pines and olive groves. This impressive villa exceeds expectations from every angle, providing plenty of space and privacy to disconnect as well as overflowing options for entertaining spaces for you as a group. 

Inside, you’ll be treated to a wealth of indulgent features. You can feel this villa’s historical past, with stone-vaulted ceilings, romantic arches and traditional wooden beams whilst modernist elements including an emerald glass staircase and a stainless steel mezzanine radiate the open spaces. Each room has been individually considered so that the blend of natural and design-focused materials make you and your guests feel part of the Cretan landscape. The professional kitchen is kitted out for preparing a Meditteranean feast to be enjoyed on the large dining table - the in-house wine selection of Cabernet Sauvignon, Grenache and Syrah will complement perfectly.

Start your day off with a few laps in the crystalline-blue pool that’s a near colour match for the cerulean water of the Aegean. Or take in the sea breeze from the beautiful terrace furnished with Indonesian wood chairs, overlooking the rugged cove below. If you’re an early riser, head down to the beach for a morning yoga class at the Baja Beach Club (a ten-minute drive away) and treat yourself to endless views of the powdery sands. We understand how every friend has their own holiday routine. Make the most of the billiards room, home cinema or sip sundowners on your private balcony as the sun falls beneath the cliffs.

Aegean Vision

Fourteen kilometres east of Rethimno, this stone-built villa is nestled between peaceful olive groves in the Cretan countryside. Here, in the quiet village of Asteri, you'll be perfectly placed two kilometres from traditional taverns, coffee shops, and wonderful scenic beauty. What's more, the golden sands of Sfakaki Beach sit only a short drive away along the coastal road. However, we wouldn't blame you if you never wanted to leave this home at all.

Each day, wake up like royalty under a white canopy and slip out onto your private balcony. Have a professional chef come to prepare breakfast in the kitchen, as you dine beneath elegant wood beams while the fire crackles. Then, we think that lazy mornings are best spent soaking up the sunshine around the hydro massage pool. Following an adventurous afternoon, grill souvlaki over the barbecue and chat out on the terrace. Finally, after the sun sets, why not enjoy a special night of wine tasting with your loved ones?

Amid Olive Groves

Nestled in a small mountain village, this family villa offers sprawling views and a peaceful position in the Skouloufia hills. 

Surrounded by fig trees and verdant flora, the outdoor spaces are idyllic for the whole group to spend time together – sip coffee alfresco overlooking the sparkling sea, stretch out and soak up the rays from the poolside sunbeds, plunge into the shimmering pool for a cooling dip or gather on the sofas to share a glass of Ouzo. There are opportunities for privacy too here – think dreamy bedrooms with en-suites and an impressive living space for reading your new book. After a day poolside and now completely sunkissed, head to your outdoor dining room for a Greek feast – for special evenings, have your host arrange a private chef for you. And as the stars descend, settle under the moon-illuminated sky for late-night conversations.

With the beach just a short drive away, we imagine you’ll want to spend most of your time with the sand beneath your feet – pack a picnic or head to a seafront taverna for an authentic taste of the local cuisine. If you wish to take a day trip, head into the historic city of Rethymno, just a short drive away, where you’ll discover a Venetian harbour lined with buzzy bars and sea-grazing restaurants.

A Picture of Tranquility

Located in the quiet village of Kyrianna, a fifteen-minute drive from Platanes Beach on the north coast of Crete, this laidback villa feels just like home. With two living spaces, a roof deck and a large garden, there’s plenty of room for a family or group of friends to spread out. Mornings begin around the dining table in the kitchen, drizzling local honey over dollops of Greek yoghurt and planning your day’s itinerary. 

But before you begin your island adventure, splash about with your loved ones in the pool or recline in a deckchair on the lawn with a glass of something fruity in hand. Fire up the barbecue and treat your brood to a tasty grilled lunch, then once the plates are cleared, jump in the car and make haste to the dazzling seaside. If you like to keep active on your holidays, take the twenty-five-minute drive to Prassano Gorge – look out for the griffon vultures nesting in the rock walls. 

Euphorbia

Perched on a hillside in northern Crete, in the culture-rich village of Agia Triada, this contemporary villa provides a secluded sanctuary from which to explore the sandy beaches and historic sites of the region. 

Visit the Old Town and admire the Venetian fortress and harbour, then wander the narrow streets before hitting one of the waterfront restaurants. If nature’s more your thing, there are plenty of soft sandy beaches in Rethymno to discover, the most famous being Preveli – beloved for its crystal clear waters and exotic aesthetic. 

After a day of soaking up the local sights, head home to cool off in the outdoor shower, or enjoy a relaxing swim in the private pool. Create some friendly competition with a game of ping pong - the lawn offers plenty of room for outdoor games (speaking of which, there’s even a children’s playground). 

Fire up the barbecue for dinner and enjoy Greek delicacies around the outdoor dining table. Post-dinner, take a bottle of wine up to the balcony to admire the views, which stretch from the olive groves all the way to the coastline. 

Fortress in the Hills

Beautifully appointed, just a short stroll from sandy beach of Adelianos Kampos, this family-size villa offers you the choice of a leisurely day at home or a fun-filled afternoon along the coast. There's also a rooftop terrace so you can enjoy the breathtaking views stretching down from the mountain to the Mediterranean Sea.

Start your mornings with a fresh cup of coffee on the terrace, before heading downstairs to rustle up a tasty fruit bowl for breakfast in the contemporary kitchen and dining area. You'll quickly feel at eas here with muted cream tones and homespun furnishings creating a comfortable place to call your own. Cool off with a dip in the swimming pool then retire to a recliner to read a book or simply watch the world go by with a cocktail in hand. 

When dinnertime arrives, head to the town for a host of tavernas, bakeries, shops and bars, just a short stroll away. And, if you're looking to explore more of this picturesque island, south Crete is easily reachable by car. 

Butter Yellow

Get away from the everyday with a stay at this stunning villa, based in Rethymno on the Greek island of Crete. This home is truly striking – the host has mastered the art of blending contemporary decor with classical design features. Scandi-style furniture sits beautifully against the rustic exposed brickwork and stone archways, creating a home that is dripping with style. The outdoor areas are also expertly designed, with a stunning wraparound pool that looks so inviting, complete with in-pool sunbeds that make it easy to top up your tan.

Start each morning with a soak in your freestanding bath – each bedroom has one. Then, sip on a cup of coffee in your swinging egg chair, located on your private balcony, and take in the surrounding views of the rolling hills and lush greenery. Go downstairs into your fully equipped kitchen and cook up some Greek scrambled eggs and tuck in around your stylish dining set. Head outside and rest in the sun on a poolside lounger, or enjoy a lush swim in your private pool. As the evenings roll in, relax in the hot tub while waiting for the stars to join you.

There's plenty to do in the local area when you're ready to venture out. You're just 1km from the nearest beach, where you'll find plenty of vibrant beach bars and restaurants to visit. Or, enjoy a peaceful stroll through the many olive groves in the area, the ideal way to spend a serene afternoon in the sunshine.


Sunbathe & Stargaze

Located in the village of Adele, just 3 kilometres from the sandy beaches of Rethymno – this luxurious villa invites guests to enjoy a taste of Crete the right way. With modern features, stylish designs and plenty of outdoor space to lap up here, you'll get a resort-like stay with the added privacy of being able to call the place your own. 

First, let's start with the fabulous rooftop terrace because from up here, you'll find views overlooking the sea and mountains – perfect for sunbathing, relaxing and (quite literally) feeling on top of the world. There's also a pool terrace area, which allows you to cool off from the warmth of Crete's summer sun. Soak up the enchanting ambience created by the varied fauna and flora out here as roses, cypress, jasmine, apricot, plum and tangerine trees fragrance the air with a myriad of scents and colours. 

The inside brags a wealth of entertainment for kids and adults alike as the villa's basement level features a games room equipped with a ping pong table, board games and children's toys. Meanwhile, the gym equipment and hydro massage bathtub invite you to take some precious "me time" – after all, you are on holiday. 

Pick the Petals

Spill out into this palatial sea view villa set in over an acre of private grounds fringing the charming village of Giannoudi. You can expect gold-standard amenities to rival a five-star hotel here. Think indoor spa room with a hydro massage heated pool, six luxurious bedrooms offering private balconies or veranda access, and outside, a lagoon-style swimming pool and waterfall surrounded by oh-so-private gardens. Fancy breaking up pool days? Platanias Beach is just three kilometres away. Or let Concierge organise a day trip to Rethymno City, five kilometres away.
