This charming and luxurious villa is based in the Bali area of Rethymo in Crete, a trendy resort that offers beautiful beaches, classy restaurants, lively bars and a great atmosphere – it truly is the perfect destination for a carefree and relaxing stay on this dreamy island. The villa sits in a quiet and peaceful spot, with the utmost privacy, so you can feel secluded and tucked away while still being within easy reach of all the area's interesting attractions. This home features stylish and modern design that makes it feel opulent, along with all the state-of-the-art amenities that make your stay effortless. Wake up each morning and head down to your private outdoor pool to enjoy a refreshing dip to wake up your body and mind. Lay back on one of the poolside loungers and enjoy a morning of sunbathing to start your day feeling relaxed and rested. Fire up the barbecue for a delicious lunch of halloumi, kleftiko and Greek salad, and dine all together at the alfresco dining set. Head out to the nearby beaches in the area to get your sun, sea and sand fix. When you return home, have an afternoon snooze in one of the two lounge areas, before heading outside with a sundowner to sit in the egg chair and watch the views of the ocean from your balcony.

About Crete

The biggest of Greece’s islands, Crete has thousands of years of history scattered across its wild hinterland, and a coast dotted with secluded bays. The capital of Heraklion is a lively port city with a world-class museum, but the main draw to the island are the crumbling ruins, white mountains, and crystal clear waters for swimming and snorkeling. Evidence of the ancient Minoans that once lived here is on display...
