Description Garden of Aphrodite: Emprosneros

Tucked between the vineyards and olive groves of Cretan wine country, this stone-walled traditional villa unfolds across two floors. It’s a charming base for exploring western Crete, with plenty of space to recharge. Mornings are spent by the pool, while evenings invite barbecuing and serving up drinks from the outdoor bar. Inside, you’ll find two kitchens – one indoors and one semi-outdoors with a traditional wood oven – making long, leisurely meals part of life here. If you dare to leave the walls, you're almost equidistant from Rethymno and Chania, as well as close to some of Crete's best hiking spots, wineries, and unspoiled beaches.

Home truths:
*If you're travelling by plane, Chania International is the nearest airport – it's a fiftyy-minute drive from this home.
*Due to this home's location, we recommend hiring a car to get the most out of your stay.
*If you're travelling with little ones, your host can provide a cot and high chair for free. You'll need to request them in advance.
*The swimming pool isn't fenced. You'll need to keep an eye on little ones at all times.
