Tucked away in the peaceful village of Erfi, this villa offers a true taste of authentic Cretan living. The interiors are contemporary but homely, with built-in furniture, white-washed walls and exposed beams. The windows are on the smaller side so you may find some of the spaces lacking a little in natural light, though with a private pool, sunken lounge and multiple terraces, you're likely to be spending more of your time outdoors. When you're ready to explore, the beach is just 7 kilometres away while Rethymno is fifteen minutes down the road.

About Rethymno
A labyrinthine Old Town, a bustling promenade and an enchanting Venetian port – Rethymno really does have it all. The latter is where you’ll find most of the crowds, but a quick stroll up Paleokastro Hill and you’ll be away from the masses, gazing out at the Cretan Sea from the star-shaped citadel of the Fortezza.
