Elysian Outlook

Perched on the hillside, this villa gazes out across the Aegean Sea. The style is modern yet homely, with big windows and sliding doors that open the spaces up to the outside. But it's the gardens that really steal the show, with pristine lawns, an infinity pool, and fully-equipped outdoor kitchen with a terrace for alfresco dining or sunset cocktails, plus a playground for the little ones. As for the location, you're just 3 kilometres from the historic town of Rethymno, known for winding alleys, 16th-century Venetian citadel, and long sandy beach.
