Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
This rural villa is perfect for a group of friends or two families, with two separate apartments that join across a central courtyard and swimming pool. This modern space has been lovingly restored, so you can appreciate the classic features alongside the new. We especially love the outdoor area, where we imagine you’ll spend most of your time lounging and dining alfresco. There’s a handy sofa bed for a seventh guest and two practical kitchenettes here. What’s more, your host can arrange private chefs, fridge fills and massages – ideal for maximising retreat mode. And when you feel like a beach day, you’re just 2km from the north coast.

About Rethymnon
Nestled between bustling Heraklion and Chania, Rethymnon has somehow remained relatively untouched by widespread tourism. The world’s loss, however, is your gain, as this overlooked region is home to a treasure trove of natural wonders, from the sandy shores of the Libyan Sea to the sloping hills that form mighty Mount Psiloritis.

Host
This home is managed by Oliver
This home is managed directly by a business. A member of their staff will be your point of contact before and during your stay. Nearly twenty years ago, Oliver and his friend began curating the world's most unique and rustic getaways. Driven by their own unforgettable experience at a chateau, they have grown remarkably since then. Much like Plum, they believe in hand-picked luxury that doesn't break the bank.
