This family villa in Rethymno puts you a short drive away from Stavromenos Beach and just a 200-metre stroll from the local village of Eleutherna with its shops, cafes and bakery, alongside the Eleftherna Archaeological Museum. With a private swimming pool, terrace and alfresco dining here, you'll get to balance chill-out pool days with exploring the local beaches and tourist hotspots of Crete. From the first-floor balconies, you'll benefit from pool and sea views in the distance, making it a serene spot to enjoy evening drinks at sunset. And while the ground floor open living area doesn't reflect tons of natural daylight, it's more than likely you'll spend much of your time lounging at the outdoor terrace lounge anyway.
