Awash with rustic yet contemporary charm, this delightful villa welcomes you in and wraps you up in its serene setting. Jump straight into holiday mode with a refreshing dip in the private pool, just the ticket to cool off in the heat of the Crete sun. After swimming a few lengths, you can climb out onto a poolside lounger and relax with your loved ones around you. Times like these allow you to enjoy the simple things in life, such as enjoying quiet conversation with those closest to you, or taking your time to get lost in a story as you sink into the pages of a good book. With the Aegean Sea sparkling in the distance, enjoy some refreshments on the terrace before getting dressed up to head into Rethymno to sample some local cuisine. Make sure you’re home in time for golden hour though – the sunsets here are stunning. As the sun sinks into the sea, pop open a bottle of bubbly and savour the moment – these are precious memories you’ll hold onto long after you’ve returned home.
