The promise of rest and relaxation is written in this home’s beautiful interiors and sun-dappled exterior, providing everything you need to recharge, unwind and take in the stunning scenery of Crete’s rugged landscapes.

Located in the charming village of Skouloufia – just over twenty minutes away by car from the popular town of Rethymno – this modern villa not only provides a wonderfully comfortable stay but also puts you in a prime position to explore many of Crete’s most famous historical sites as well as its beautiful beaches.

Inside, double-height ceilings in the open-plan living area allow sunlight to pour in and bathe the space in a warm glow, while the bedrooms – each with a balcony – offer spectacular views over the Cretan mountains and a peaceful night’s sleep in the inviting beds. There’s a hydro massage tub on hand too to ramp up the relaxation even more, while outside, the private pool beckons hours of swimming and lounging on the deck chairs, followed by an alfresco barbecue feast around the outdoor table.

When it comes to exploring the local area, there are plenty of nature paths surrounding the village, while sandy Skaleta Beach is a fifteen-minute drive away. The Monastery of Arkadi – a peaceful oasis of golden stone buildings and flower-filled courtyards – is also just twelve minutes away by car and Melidoni Cave is a twenty-four-minute drive from your door.
