Rose of Apollo

This home combines exceptional design with thoughtful service to bring you the best of island living. Offering sweeping views across Crete's coast, both the multi-level garden and stylish bedrooms are as impressive as the next. You’ll also be welcomed by a team of staff who are on hand to ensure your stay goes smoothly. Along with a range of extra services (including a private chef and beauty treatments), you'll find the private pool, pétanque court, and ping pong table deliver a great source of entertainment. You will need a car here, but it’s just a fifteen-minute drive to the nearest beaches and the old town of Rethymno.

Home truths:
*We recommend hiring a car to get the most out of your stay. There’s free private parking here, plus two bicycles you're free to use.
*This is a serviced villa. Daily housekeeping and pool and garden maintenance are included.
*The main house is spread across three levels with no lift. Two bedrooms are in the main house, while the rest are in seven independent bungalows. Five are attached to the main house and two are located within the grounds.
*If you're travelling with children, your host can provide a free cot and high chair. You'll need to request them in advance. Due to the unfenced pool and tiered garden, little ones will need to be supervised outside at all times.
*Your host provides a welcome hamper on arrival.
