Do you have a question about this home or the local area?

This rural villa is perfect for a group of friends or two families, with two separate apartments that join across a central courtyard and swimming pool. This modern space has been lovingly restored, so you can appreciate the classic features alongside the new. We especially love the outdoor area, where we imagine you’ll spend most of your time lounging and dining alfresco. There’s a handy sofa bed for a seventh guest and two practical kitchenettes here. What’s more, your host can arrange private chefs, fridge fills and massages – ideal for maximising retreat mode. And when you feel like a beach day, you’re just 2km from the north coast.

Home truths

    While the bathrooms aren't photographed, expect the style and quality to be consistent with the rest of the home.

    This villa is made up of two private self-contained apartments, joined by a communal courtyard and a centrepiece swimming pool.

    At full occupancy, one guest will be sleeping on the sofa bed in the living area.

    If you're travelling with little ones, your host can provide a cot and high chair. You'll need to request them in advance.

    Due to this home's location, we recommend hiring a car to get the most out of your stay. There's private parking here.

About Rethymnon

Nestled between bustling Heraklion and Chania, Rethymnon has somehow remained relatively untouched by widespread tourism. The world’s loss, however, is your gain, as this overlooked region is home to a treasure trove of natural wonders, from the sandy shores of the Libyan Sea to the sloping hills that form mighty Mount Psiloritis.

Host


This home is managed by Oliver

This home is managed directly by a business. A member of their staff will be your point of contact before and during your stay. Nearly twenty years ago, Oliver and his friend began curating the world's most unique and rustic getaways. Driven by their own unforgettable experience at a chateau, they have grown remarkably since then. Much like Plum, they believe in hand-picked luxury that doesn't break the bank.
