Located in the beautiful village of Gerani, just 7km from the centre of Rethymno and its sandy beaches, this villa offers the tranquillity of the countryside as well as close proximity to popular destinations. All three bedrooms benefit from direct access to the outside lounge area, where sofa chairs and a dining table create the perfect spot to start your mornings. Inside, we love the modern touch that's been given to the home, while the sliding doors open the space out to the garden. When you're not lazing around by your private pool all day, the surrounding area is quiet with many traditional tavernas, cafes and beaches to explore nearby.

Home truths:
*Due to the location of the villa, we recommend hiring a car to get the most out of your stay – there's free private parking on the premises.
*There's a dedicated workspace in the living area and laptop-friendly desks in the bedrooms for those who need to keep an eye on business during their stay.
*Your host provides child-friendly amenities, such as a baby cot and high chair for free upon request.
*The swimming pool isn't fenced. If you're bringing little ones, they'll need to be supervised at all times.
*Cleaning, towel and bedding changes take place every three to four days during your stay while maintenance and gardening occur two to three times a week, depending on the weather.
