Mosey into the heart of Panormo village for its seaside tavernas and traditional restaurants then while away the hours on the nearby sandy beach. If you’re feeling curious, jump in the car and head west to Rethymno, renowned for its Venetian old town and star-shaped Fortezza.

Located in the small, picturesque fishing village of Panormo – 20 kilometres east of Rethymnon city – this beautiful modern villa is a slice of coastal bliss just waiting for you to unwind amidst its leafy grounds and breathtaking sea views. 

Its bright white exterior looks like a stack of sugar cubes perched on a hill, and stepping inside, you’ll see its interiors are just as sweet. Sleek lines and pared-back contemporary decor set a striking scene in the open-plan living with its eye-catching fireplace and large patio doors. Open these up to step out onto a shaded terrace – the ideal spot to begin mornings over coffee. Then, head down to the manicured lawn and its private pool for a day of luxurious sun-soaking and swimming. Mealtimes call for alfresco barbecues when you’re not out sampling the local tavernas and restaurants, and nothing seals the night quite like a glass of Cretan wine on your bedroom’s balconies as the stars dazzle above. 

Outside of your home, you’ll find the nearest Blue Flag beach just 300 metres away, as well as a host of cultural sights within easy reach, including Castel Milopotamo and the Melidoni Cave.

It's true that the open living quarters and absence of a separate lounge in this villa located in the fishing village of Panormo are more evocative of an inner-city studio apartment rather than luxurious island living. However, there are more than enough positives at this address that should convince you to overlook the shortcomings.

The fact that there's a private swimming pool is a pretty big plus, while the neighbouring verandah with an alfresco dining table and views of the Cretan Sea is also wonderful, too. Despite the limited floor space, there's a lot to like about the interior as well, from the simple but sleek design to the contemporary fireplace to sit beside when the evenings turn a little chilly.

We should also highlight the fact that the location is excellent, as well. In Panormo, there's a beach, restaurants and taverns to be discovered within 300 metres of the front door, while the city of Rethymno is only 24km to the east and well worth visiting for a day trip for its Venetian harbour alone.

When you have an Aegean Sea view at your disposal, it’s easy to while away the days. Located in the hills of Skouloufia, this 19th-century stone villa has been artfully renovated to offer everything you could dream of and then some more. With an ocean view, a storied building and a host of amenities you're guaranteed to make some memories. 

Inside, it’s easy to see the love that’s gone into renovating this home. Tall beamed ceilings and exposed stone walls hint at the home’s original character, whilst sleek furnishings and modern designs bring this home into the contemporary realm. The slick kitchen and dining room are a host’s dream – while away the evenings, socialising as you prepare a Greek-inspired dinner and share late-night conversations around the family-style table with a bottle of Vidiano. Each bedroom is comfortable and stylish – waking up to those views is a dreamy way to start each day – and since each bedroom has an en-suite complete with a rainfall shower, every member can wake up refreshed and raring to go. 

Start your day sipping fresh juice on the patio before lounging out poolside with your new summer read. Afternoons are best spent with a few cooling laps of your sparkling pool before igniting the barbecue for a flame-grilled Mediterranean feast on the upper terrace.

When you’re seeking sand, the Stavromenos is a short drive away or, if you’re seeking a cultural day out, make the drive to Rethymno – it’s less than thirty minutes away. This charming Venetian harbour invites you to explore its quaint cobbled streets and settle in at one of the seafront tavernas for a fresh seafood dinner.

Crete’s inland mountains and striking coastlines are simply unparalleled. On this ancient island, you can easily discover these opposing elements of natural beauty from this fabulous villa. Its location is perfect for enjoying unmissable history and heritage, but with a modern environment to come home to.

Close to the medieval coastal town and beaches of Rethymnon, you’ll enjoy spending days here before popping home for a barbecue on the terrace. Cue the jaw-dropping vistas, too – this villa has 360-degree views of everything that Crete has to offer. From up on the pool terrace or the sweeping balcony, you can plan your day from above, cocktail in hand. 

And every day you’ll be waking to views of olive groves, orchards, mountains, and the azure waters beyond. Understated interiors really allow the outdoors to shine – both figuratively and literally. Head down to the spacious living area for your morning brunch, where a pot of coffee and fresh orange juice might be best savoured on the verandah.

Cave of Zeus

In Crete’s craggy, wild mountains, this set of villas enjoys an elevated spot looking over the hinterland towards the sea. You’re secluded and surrounded by nature here, yet it’s just a ten-minute drive to the buzzing beaches of Crete’s north coast and the vibrant resort town of Rethimno.

The scenery around you is a tapestry of olive groves and cacti-clad hills. Come sunset, the sky over the sea streaks purple and orange, and your spot on any of the rooftop terraces is the best place to watch this spectacle. Slip down to your villa's private swimming pool and swim laps in the morning and perhaps lunch in the shade of the curtained gazebo.

Accommodation is spread across four identical villas and inside each is a soothing combination of coffee and cream tones with sliding glass doors letting in plenty of natural light. From the balcony off each living room, you can gaze out over the landscape to the sea. Set up for the day in the big, dine-in kitchen and freshen up amidst stylish mosaic tiles in the bathrooms.

Games Room

Located in Rethymno along the north coast of Crete, this sun-soaked villa is perfectly suited for an endlessly relaxing stay with large groups of friends and extended family. Whether you're a beachgoer or a poolside sunbather, this crowd-pleasing pad is a great option. 

Whitewashed walls and luscious greenery are parr for the course these days, but it's the fenced-off private pool, complete with sun loungers, pergolas, a terrace dining area, barbecue and summer kitchen, that really caught our eye. We can think of nothing better than filling your time with long alfresco lunches and early-evening sundowners out on the terrace, while the children splash about in the pool or play on the outdoor toys, kindly provided by your host. 

Stepping inside, you'll find a vibrant pink colour palette, playful wallpaper prints and high vaulted ceilings that make for a lovely, sociable space to play games and cosy up on chillier nights (a rarity here, we know). A pool table and separate games room ensure fun-filled evenings, whatever the weather. And if you can peel yourself away from this beautiful villa, Rethymno town and Stavromenos Beach (a 7-km drive away) are great trips out for all the family. 

Pink at Heart

Desk / Workplace

The promise of rest and relaxation is written in this home’s beautiful interiors and sun-dappled exterior, providing everything you need to recharge, unwind and take in the stunning scenery of Crete’s rugged landscapes. 

Located in the charming village of Skouloufia – just over twenty minutes away by car from the popular town of Rethymno – this modern villa not only provides a wonderfully comfortable stay but also puts you in a prime position to explore many of Crete’s most famous historical sites as well as its beautiful beaches.

Inside, double-height ceilings in the open-plan living area allow sunlight to pour in and bathe the space in a warm glow, while the bedrooms – each with a balcony – offer spectacular views over the Cretan mountains and a peaceful night’s sleep in the inviting beds. There’s a hydro massage tub on hand too to ramp up the relaxation even more, while outside, the private pool beckons hours of swimming and lounging on the deck chairs, followed by an alfresco barbecue feast around the outdoor table.

When it comes to exploring the local area, there are plenty of nature paths surrounding the village, while sandy Skaleta Beach is a fifteen-minute drive away. The Monastery of Arkadi –  a peaceful oasis of golden stone buildings and flower-filled courtyards – is also just twelve minutes away by car and Melidoni Cave is a twenty-four-minute drive from your door. 


Dimitra

Rooftop Terrace

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.

A luxurious, private villa in a small complex, this home is located in the peaceful area of Pigianos Kampos, Crete. Spread over two floors, the main bedroom on the first floor offers stunning views of the sea from the room and its attached balcony, and a bathroom with a jacuzzi bath. Meanwhile, the rooms on the ground floor open up to the veranda, garden, and your own private pool area, where you can enjoy a quiet day, lounging on a sunbed, dipping into the waters of the pool, or relaxing in the hot tub. 

Start your day with an alfresco breakfast with the fruit basket provided by your host on arrival. For dinner, pick vegetables from the garden with the help of the gardener or head to the outdoor seating area and cook up delicious souvlaki on the gas barbecue. Finish your day sipping your complimentary welcome drink of wine as the sun sets over the ocean.

With the sea pretty much on your doorstep, you can be on the long sandy beach of Rethymno within three minutes. If you wish to venture further and explore all Crete has to offer, Stavromenos village offers a whole host of things to do, including the beach, and archaeological and historical sites such as the Monastery of Christ and St. Gedeon, and the Museum of Ancient Eleutherna. The tourist resort of Platanias is also only a five-minute drive away, with shops, restaurants, bars, and nightclubs. The location of this villa means that there’s something for every interest close by.

Sun of Apollo

Welcome Hamper

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

Early / Late Check-Out Available

Set across three floors, the owners have created this space for families and friends to relax and share quality time together. From the first-floor balcony and air-conditioned rooms to the swimming pool and terrace, every detail inspires a wonderful sense of ease and freedom. 

Wake up early and watch the sunrise, take a refreshing dip in the pool, enjoy a yoga session on the lawn and gather for magical evenings with drinks and freshly prepared Cretan meals. Children will love playing on the grass, while the billiard table will provide fun for everyone. 

Days can be spent relaxing here or exploring the glistening coastline. Your host can help organise a range of unforgettable experiences, including guided tours and boat trips – ensuring your stay is enriched by the authentic spirit of the island. 

Serenity Sunrise 

Located in the sleepy village of Skouloufia, this relaxed villa boasts plenty of natural light and everything you need for a comfortable stay in Crete. After waking up in quiet bedrooms, pour yourself a coffee and plan the day’s agenda from the sofa, basking in the sunshine that streams through the clerestory windows. 

When hunger bites, call upon the help of a private chef to rustle up something tasty for breakfast. Dine together on the terrace before picking out a lounger to work on your tan. Should you need to cool off, plunge into the pool and float around in the refreshing water. 

If you’re a group who like to explore on holiday, embark on a walking tour arranged by your helpful host or jump in the car and take the short drive to the beach – it was one of our favourite places to watch the sunset.

If you’re planning on a day of relaxation, fire up the barbecue and you can dine alfresco with just the quiet of nature and the sizzle of dinner cooking surrounding you. As the day stretches on, head to your private balcony which boasts picturesque views of the surrounding mountains and coastline – the ideal spot to enjoy sundowners when the children have gone to bed.

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.

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.

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.

If you fancy exploring a little of the surrounding area, spend the day at the nearest beach, only 3km away, or visit the charming hilltop village of Asteri. Alternatively, wander the bougainvillea-draped cobblestone streets of Rethymno city, with its historic Venetian castle and picturesque harbour. 


Amid Ancient Olive Groves

With a private pool, coastal views and a great location, this home makes it easy to settle into the laid-back pace of island living. Some of the furnishings may be a little dated, but it’s family-friendly with plenty of chill-out spots to relax and recharge. Your host can also help organise car rentals, which will come in handy when adventuring further afield.

Kick back, relax and disconnect from the rest of the world amidst a haven of peace. Whether that means you're lounging on the floating day beds in the private swimming pool, getting stuck into your holiday read in a shaded spot on the patio area, terrace or balcony – or perhaps you'll prefer to spend your time soaking up the villa's fabulous interiors. With contemporary chic designs found in each and every room, letting your cares and worries float free when staying here. The only constraint you'll encounter will be when it's time to leave.

There are few things more calming than a picturesque sea view and this villa's prime position right on the Cretan coastline provides guests with a front-row seat.

As you would expect, the whole home is orientated towards this soothing panorama so you can gaze out at the azure horizon whether you're cooling off in the swimming pool, enjoying a leisurely lunch on the shade of the verandah or keeping kids entertained on the play equipment. There are two more vantage points in the shape of the private balconies adjoining the first-floor bedrooms, as well.

Although your attention is naturally drawn to what lies outside, you'll find the home's interior to be quietly impressive when you get around to giving it a closer look. There's a chic simplicity to the design, with the tall windows and glass doors bringing in bountiful amounts of natural light, plus a Scandi influence in the furnishings. Overall, it looks fresh and contemporary, which, given the home is a brand-new addition to the locale, is wholly true.

When it comes to seeing a little more of the neighbourhood, the first question on your mind is likely to be where's the nearest beach? The good news is that it lies all of 500m away from the front door. You might have to venture a little further for restaurants and shops, but the host can just as easily grocery deliveries and visits from private chefs to make life that bit easier.

Pure Poetry

A short walk from the village of Margarites and a short drive from the city of Rethymno, this villa has a private pool and fantastic views.

With a private swimming pool, terrace and alfresco dining here, you'll get to balance chill-out pool days with exploring the local beaches and tourist hotspots of Crete. From the first-floor balconies, you'll benefit from pool and sea views in the distance, making it a serene spot to enjoy evening drinks at sunset. And while the ground floor open living area doesn't reflect tons of natural daylight, it's more than likely you'll spend much of your time lounging at the outdoor terrace lounge anyway. 



The Grape of the Grove

Nestled amongst peaceful olive groves, this stylish and serene holiday home will make a great backdrop to many happy memories with your loved ones. It’s based in the tranquil and traditional village of Pagkalochori, just along the coast from Rethymno and a short drive from Stavromenos beach – a fantastic spot for exploring Crete’s north coast. The garden makes a wonderful place to soak up the sunshine, with a large pool for morning lengths as well as a hot tub for soaks at sunset, plus a playground for little ones.
