Perched on a hillside above Bali Bay, this villa earns its place on the Cretan Sea with an infinity pool that seems to spill straight into the water below – the mountains behind, the bay ahead. Three en-suite bedrooms, including one with direct pool access, keep things easy for everyone, while the canopied outdoor kitchen is built for long summer evenings with a crowd. Bali village – its harbour, beach bars, and cafes – is a ten-minute walk away, which means you get the views and the atmosphere without having to choose between them.

Home truths
Your host operates several homes here, so the exact view, layout and furnishings might differ slightly from the photos. However, the overall quality should remain the same.
The villa sits on an elevated hillside, so there are steps involved in moving between the pool terrace and the upper living areas. If anyone in your group has mobility considerations, the ground-floor bedroom with direct pool access is the most convenient option.
If you're travelling with little ones, your host can provide a cot and high chair. Request these in advance to make sure everything is ready when you arrive.
Due to this home's location, we recommend hiring a car to get the most out of your stay.
Well-behaved pets are welcome to accompany you during your stay.

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.
