Nestled within an exclusive trio of villas overlooking the charming seaside village of Bali, this is a serene escape just thirty minutes from the buzz of Rethymno. Ideally positioned, the villa offers easy access to four nearby beaches – Livadi, Varkotopos, Limani, and Karavostasi – perfect for swimming, sunbathing, or exploring the crystal-clear Mediterranean waters. Local tavernas, cafes, and shops are all within walking distance, giving a flavour of village life. However, to make the most of the surrounding beaches, coves, and hidden gems, hiring a car is recommended.

  • If you're travelling with little ones, your host can provide a cot and high chair for free. You'll need to request them in advance.

  • Due to this home's location, we recommend hiring a car to get the most out of your stay. Free private parking is available on site and shared between the three villas (spaces are not reservable).

  • To respect the tranquil setting, quiet hours are observed: 3pm – 5.30pm and 11pm – 7am in summer, and 3.30pm – 5.30pm and 10pm – 7.30am in winter.
