This beautiful, traditional stone house on the edge of Prines, set on a gentle, west-facing slope, has wonderful mountain and sea views. Relax in the Crete sun by the private pool – we love the beautifully maintained garden with its vibrant flowers and verdant hedges. Later in the day, watch the rich sun set over the sea from the large balcony with a glass of wine. Inside, exposed stone, beams and arches create an atmospheric space, especially at night, and several sofas accommodate your family or friends for a good chat before dinner. Situated in a cul-de-sac, it’s a leisurely stroll to the village centre, where there is a mini market and a choice of tavernas and cafe bars if you prefer to eat out. Or head to Rethymno, with its old Venetian harbour, 6 kilometres away. For a day at the sea, the nearest beach is 3 kilometres from this lovely villa.

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. You could easily spend weeks exploring every inch of Rethymnon’s capital – the Venetian architecture is hard to...
