Set in the peaceful seaside village of Skaleta, this villa earns its place on the Rethymnon coast without much effort. The infinity pool looks out across the sea, a quiet beach sits just 100 metres away, and the upper-floor main suite has a hot tub on the balcony to make the most of that view. A separate shallow pool means younger guests are well looked after too. When you're ready to venture further, the Venetian harbour and labyrinthine alleyways of Rethymno Old Town are a twenty-four-minute drive.

Home truths
Two of the bedrooms can be configured as either doubles or twins – let your host know your preferred setup in advance.
If you're travelling with little ones, your host can provide a cot, high chair, and baby bath on request – ask in advance to make sure everything is ready on arrival.
Rethymnon town is around 13 km away, so you'll want a car to reach the wider range of restaurants, shops, and sights on offer. The nearest supermarket is a short walk at 250 m, and there's a bus stop 300 m away if you prefer not to drive every day.
You'll need to contact your host at least three days before you arrive to arrange check-in and confirm your flight details – check-in takes place at the villa itself.
