Nest of Jewels

This contemporary villa is a stunning base for exploring Crete's northern coastline – but the views might tempt you to stay at home. There are plenty of sunny spots to lie back on a lounger and take in the views of the historic town of Rethymno – and the minimal interior decor is a sign to spend most of your time outside. If you're here on a workcation, the snug workspace is handy – just make sure you're done in time to enjoy a barbecue with family or friends. There's a supermarket and taverna conveniently located within walking distance (plus a historic monastery), but Rethymno's cobbled streets and seafront restaurants are just a short drive away.
