Situated on the north coast of Crete, this contemporary villa suits a large family or group of friends looking to spend their days soaking up the sunshine, whether on a poolside lounger or the balcony overlooking the water. When you want a break from the midday heat, the shaded terrace is perfect for alfresco dining or relaxing with a tipple. Fancy exploring? Rethymnon old town is easily reached by car, and Kamari Beach is only 800 metres away – but just so you know, the way back to the villa is fairly steep.

Home truths

  • 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. Please note, the pool isn’t fenced, so young children will need to be supervised at all times.

  • The single beds can be turned into doubles upon request.

  • The mattresses are soft here, something to keep in mind if you like a firm bed.

  • This home is part of a complex of four villas, which may be available for booking together if you're looking to stay with a larger group.

  • Due to this home's location, we recommend hiring a car to get the most out of your stay.

About Crete

The biggest of Greece’s islands, Crete has thousands of years of history scattered across its wild hinterland, and a coast dotted with secluded bays. The capital of Heraklion is a lively port city with a world-class museum, but the main draw to the island are the crumbling ruins, white mountains, and crystal clear waters for swimming and snorkeling. Evidence of the ancient Minoans that once lived here is on display...
