A short drive from the town of Rethymno, this secluded villa offers 186 sqm of living space on a private plot of 4,003 sqm. Developed over three levels, it includes the main residence on the ground and first floor as well as an independent studio on the lower level. The ground floor features a spacious open-plan living and dining area with a fully equipped kitchen, opening onto the outdoor terraces and pool area. An additional room on this level is currently used as an office, but can serve as a child’s bedroom. The first floor hosts three bright bedrooms with views over the valley and the sea, along with a family bathroom and additional storage spaces.



The lower level is accessible externally and functions as a separate studio with a kitchenette, ideal for guests. This floor also houses the gym area, workshop and practical utility rooms that support the home. Outdoors, the private swimming pool is framed by landscaped areas and wide terraces offering space for sunbathing, dining and relaxation. Ample parking is available within the property’s boundaries, and the elevated position ensures full privacy while remaining close to Rethymno. The villa’s size, layout and location provide excellent rental potential, with easy access to the town for evening dining and entertainment.



The garden is a standout feature: the owner has cultivated a wide variety of trees, herbs and Mediterranean plants across the plot, creating a peaceful natural setting that changes beautifully throughout the year. The home is designed for comfortable year-round living and combines quiet countryside surroundings with the convenience of nearby amenities.



Location



The villa is situated just outside Rethymno, one of Crete’s most atmospheric coastal towns, known for its Venetian harbour, long sandy beach and vibrant dining scene. The area offers a balanced lifestyle, with easy access to shops, restaurants, medical services and schools, while still providing a relaxed residential environment surrounded by nature. Nearby villages offer traditional tavernas and local markets, and the surrounding hills invite walking, cycling and outdoor activities.



Rethymno’s central position on the island makes it an ideal base for exploring both western and eastern Crete. The region is well connected by road, with Heraklion and Chania airports both within reach. Combining natural beauty, privacy and proximity to town life, this location is highly attractive for both permanent living and holiday rentals.
