Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
Situated within the traditional village of Pigi, surrounded by olive groves and rolling hills, this charming nineteenth-century villa is set across two buildings. While each includes a couple of bedrooms, a living area and a kitchen, they differ considerably in terms of style. The first property feels more traditional inside, with plenty of exposed stonework and separate rooms. While the second is light and bright with a more open-plan layout. Either way, two entirely self-sufficient sections make this home perfectly suited to groups of friends or multi-generational families who may want some time to themselves every once in a while. A courtyard garden filled with mature trees makes picking out a shaded spot a cinch, while the swimming pool is perfect for cooling off in between sunbathing sessions. Step out into the streets, and you'll find a vibrant village where life hasn't changed much over the years. In Pigi, you'll find a couple of bakeries, a pair of mini-markets and two traditional taverns. The nearest beaches are just a short drive away, while the perfectly preserved Venetian harbour of Rethymno is less than fifteen minutes away.

Local guide
About Rethymno
A labyrinthine Old Town, a bustling promenade and an enchanting Venetian port – Rethymno really does have it all. The latter is where you’ll find most of the crowds, but a quick stroll up Paleokastro Hill and you’ll be away from the masses, gazing out at the Cretan Sea from the star-shaped citadel of the Fortezza.
