Every detail of this villa in Crete has been designed for a special stay. From the sunny garden with its pool, playground, and firepit, to the heated indoor pool and private gym, life here is just that little bit more luxurious. Set over three floors, it offers plenty of space to stretch out. And we love the location too. It’s close to the coast (complete with sea views) and fifteen minutes by car from Rethymnon, where the pretty Venetian harbour is dotted with tavernas. The only downside? We don’t think you’ll want to leave.
