When you have an Aegean Sea view at your disposal, it’s easy to while away the days. Just outside of the historic centre of Rethymno and a short drive from the beach, this charming villa is perfectly placed and has been thoughtfully designed to enrich your Cretan retreat. Inside, it’s easy to see the love that’s gone into this home. We love the cool natural colour palette and modern furnishings that make this villa feel like a contemporary oasis. Each bedroom is minimal and stylish – waking up with the sea breeze washing through your windows is a dreamy way to start each day, and with a panoramic-viewed patio to sip your morning coffee on, you’re set for a relaxing stay. The slick kitchen and dining room are a host’s dream – why not prepare a Greek-inspired lunch whilst your loved ones gather around the bar with a glass of Vidiano? We expect you’ll spend most of the morning lounging poolside with your new summer read. And when the afternoon rolls around, enjoy a few cooling laps of your pool before igniting the barbecue for a flame-grilled Mediterranean feast at the golden hour. When you’re seeking sand, the beach is a short drive away or if you’re seeking a cultural day out, make the drive to Rethymno – it’s ten minutes away. This charming Venetian harbour invites you to explore its quaint cobbled streets and settle in at one of the seafront tavernas for a fresh seafood dinner.

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.
