Description Sweet Golden Years: Rethimno

With mountain views from the patio and a private pool to cool off in during scorching afternoons, this south Crete villa suits any group looking to seriously unwind. There’s an outdoor kitchen for alfresco meals and a shaded seating area for kicking back with a glass of something chilled. Though the rural setting ensures relaxation, you'll need to hire a car to make the most of the surrounding area. Beach lovers will be pleased to know the sands of Plakias are 11 kilometres away, while the charming city of Rethymnon is around 24 kilometres from the home.

Home truths:
*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. Please be aware the pool isn’t fenced, so young children will need to be supervised at all times.
*This home is located by a main road, so you may hear some traffic noise during the day.
*The neighbouring villa can be rented alongside this home if you wish to stay as a larger group.
*Towels and bed linen are changed every three days.
