The first thing you’ll notice about this home is the view. Panoramic vistas across the Psiloritis mountains and sparkling Aegean sea will quite literally leave you in awe. From the moment you arrive, you’re surrounded by the scent of fresh pines and olive groves. This impressive villa exceeds expectations from every angle, providing plenty of space and privacy to disconnect as well as overflowing options for entertaining spaces for you as a group. Inside, you’ll be treated to a wealth of indulgent features. You can feel this villa’s historical past, with stone-vaulted ceilings, romantic arches and traditional wooden beams whilst modernist elements including an emerald glass staircase and a stainless steel mezzanine radiate the open spaces. Each room has been individually considered so that the blend of natural and design-focused materials make you and your guests feel part of the Cretan landscape. The professional kitchen is kitted out for preparing a Meditteranean feast to be enjoyed on the large dining table - the in-house wine selection of Cabernet Sauvignon, Grenache and Syrah will complement perfectly. Start your day off with a few laps in the crystalline-blue pool that’s a near colour match for the cerulean water of the Aegean. Or take in the sea breeze from the beautiful terrace furnished with Indonesian wood chairs, overlooking the rugged cove below. If you’re an early riser, head down to the beach for a morning yoga class at the Baja Beach Club (a ten-minute drive away) and treat yourself to endless views of the powdery sands. We understand how every friend has their own holiday routine. Make the most of the billiards room, home cinema or sip sundowners on your private balcony as the sun falls beneath the cliffs.

About Rethymnon

Nestled between bustling Heraklion and Chania, Rethymnon has somehow remained relatively untouched by widespread tourism. The world’s loss, however, is your gain, as this overlooked region is home to a treasure trove of natural wonders, from the sandy shores of the Libyan Sea to the sloping hills that form mighty Mount Psiloritis.
