Nestled in the beautiful countryside outside the village of Armenoi, this family-size villa is a quiet base where you can unwind and make new memories together. The biggest draw is, of course, your private pool deck, complete with sun loungers and a kid's playground area. You've also got an alfresco dining area equipped with a brick-built barbecue for those laid-back meals in the summer evenings. Location-wise, you'll find local tavernas and a mini-market in the village, while the historic town of Rethymnon lies just a short drive away for when you're in the mood for a beach trip or looking to dine out down by the coast.
