A short walk from a quiet, unspoilt beach, this villa near Skaleta is built around a life lived largely outside. The infinity pool looks out towards the sea, flanked by a sunken lounge terrace and a landscaped outdoor dining area where alfresco evenings feel entirely natural. A children's pool and the option to heat the water make it well suited to families, while a hot tub on the upper balcony adds a more private retreat. Inside, high ceilings and large windows flood the rooms with light, and a fireplace makes cooler evenings equally comfortable. Rethymno's Venetian old town is a twenty-one-minute drive.

About Rethymno
A labyrinthine Old Town, a bustling promenade and an enchanting Venetian port – Rethymno really does have it all.
