Amid Olive Groves

Fourteen kilometres east of Rethimno, this stone-built villa is nestled between peaceful olive groves in the Cretan countryside. Here, in the quiet village of Asteri, you'll be perfectly placed two kilometres from traditional taverns, coffee shops, and wonderful scenic beauty. What's more, the golden sands of Sfakaki Beach sit only a short drive away along the coastal road. However, we wouldn't blame you if you never wanted to leave this home at all.

Each day, wake up like royalty under a white canopy and slip out onto your private balcony. Have a professional chef come to prepare breakfast in the kitchen, as you dine beneath elegant wood beams while the fire crackles. Then, we think that lazy mornings are best spent soaking up the sunshine around the hydro massage pool. Following an adventurous afternoon, grill souvlaki over the barbecue and chat out on the terrace. Finally, after the sun sets, why not enjoy a special night of wine tasting with your loved ones?
