Overlooking the Cretan Sea, this impressive villa sits in a quiet spot in the traditional village of Gerani. If hiking or cycling’s your thing, you’re in the right place with a variety of picturesque routes in the surrounding area, while those seeking the hustle and bustle of Crete’s most popular towns can jump in the car and drive to Rethymnon for the day. The outdoor space here is extensive, with everything you need for a relaxing retreat. You’ll find a private swimming pool, hot tub, fire pit and alfresco dining areas, all of which offer spectacular coastal views. Why not speak to your host about hiring a chef for the evening to make the most of it?
