Sitting peacefully on the northern shores of Crete, this home welcomes you to experience the sunny spirit of Greece’s largest island. Just a short drive from the picturesque old town of Rethymno (7km away), days can be spent beach hopping your way along the coast or lounging in your own private sanctuary. From leisurely swims in the pool and long soaks in the hot tub to lazy afternoons reading in the shade and golden Aegean sunsets, this is the perfect setting for a slow-paced island escape. Inside, you’ll find the rooms provide a refreshingly simple space to relax and unwind. Find perfect contentment in the open-plan living room, embrace Greek-inspired cooking in the fully equipped kitchen, or let yourself be treated by the locals – the nearest tavernas and bars are just a short drive away.
