There’s no doubt this countryside villa oozes Cretan charm with its natural façade and cypress tree border. Located within a ten-minute drive of the historic Arkadi Monastery and seventeen to Pirgos beach, this home provides access to the island’s significant cultural sites and enticing coastal delights. There’s perfect harmony between the outside and inside here - combining authentic character and contemporary comfort - you’ll feel instantly at home. Mornings call for fresh juice and coffee on the upstairs terrace while taking in the hillside panoramas and views across the sparkling Aegean. The airy living space is modern in design, featuring wooden accents and minimal-hued furnishings. Most likely, the Mediterannean sun will invite you to plunge into the pristine pool or lounge out on sunbeds for a soft bronzing session. When the sun is at its peak, retreat under the shaded pergola for a barbecue lunch accompanied by a refreshing breeze and a glass of Muscat of Spina. Set aside a day to explore the local highlights - the powdery sands of Geropotamos are a seventeen-minute drive or, if you’re seeking a cultural endeavour, make the thirty-minute drive to Rethymno. This picturesque Venetian harbour beckons you to visit the Egyptian lighthouse along the ancient wharf while the local tavernas invite you to sample local delicacies whilst the sunset unfolds.
