Just outside of Rethymnon, this stone villa is hugged by olive groves and looks out across the Aegean Sea. We think it’s perfect for a small group of friends or a family vacation, though one of the rooms is a loft, so full privacy may be limited. It’s an ideal base for both city and country, with Rethymnon a fifteen-minute drive away and some of Crete’s best beaches and hiking spots, like Platanes Beach and Patsos Gorge, within easy reach.

Home truths
One of the bedrooms is an open loft, so it may not suit groups seeking full privacy. While it isn't photographed, expect the style and quality to be consistent with the rest of the home.
With neighbouring villas nearby, this isn’t the most secluded stay.
The outdoor dining table seats four, though there’s an additional dining table indoors and sun loungers outside.
The home has a washing machine. However, you'll need to bring your own detergent if you plan to do laundry.
Due to this home's location, we recommend hiring a car to get the most out of your stay.

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.
