Forget all the touristic things and get ready to live an authentic Cretan experience combined to the comfort and the relaxing ambiance of the amazing place of our villa!

Our elegant villa has been published to the Maison de Campagne for its unique architecture and location!
Our elegant villa is a private residence set at a stunning scenery, the area of Agios Pavlos, in the south center of Rethymno region, only a few steps away from the big blue! If you are courageous you can walk the 166 steps (counting from the terrace) to the sea! There, you are in a world of your own in a secluded bay! Sometimes the sea is like a mirror and you can see its bottom. Often you hear the waves rushing to the shore. Its always amazingly relaxing! You may see the local fishermen cast their nets, but you would have to be on time. You may see the boat pass from Agia Galini to Agios Pavlos and further afield and sometimes people fish from the rock opposite.
Generally, the villa sets in peace and quiet, ideal for those who want to escape from their daily routine back in homeland and sicking for a unique experience.

LAYOUT
The villa has ideal orientation built with unique raw materials! On the northern side of the site, a wooden gate leads to the main entrance of the residence via an imposing marble corridor in local stone from Mount Ida (Psiloritis), amidst olive trees.
Our outstanding villa can sleep in comfort 8 guests in its 4 bedrooms, but it can also accommodate 2-4 persons more in a separate studio under extra charge.

The LOWER LEVEL of the residence, undercut on its three sides, opens out towards the South offering privacy and unobstructed sea views to all interior spaces. This level has three bright bedrooms, a hammam (steam bath), auxiliary spaces and a more isolated guesthouse (studio) within two double bed bedroom, a secondary well-organized kitchen, a separate bathroom with toilet, as also on this level there is an empty playroom area. In more detail, there is one master bedroom with en-suite bathroom featuring toilet and double shower, two more bedrooms with a large shared bathroom with toilet, big shower and double sinks with jet stream, as also there is an extra bathroom for the pool and an extra toilet for guests. Also, on this level there is a well-equipped laundry room, with a washing machine and a dryer. The surrounding area is lined with sloping stone terraces, thereby perfectly integrating human intervention within the natural terrain.
The UPPER LEVEL comprises the communal living spaces of the villa, including an open-plan sitting and kitchen area, a master bedroom with en-suite bathroom features toilet, shower and bidet. Indoors, there is a modern and fully-equipped kitchen so you can cook with a view, with herbs from the garden. Outdoors, there is a big terrace with a magnificent infinity swimming pool (having a room-aquarium underneath with sky lights through the pool) with salt water, along with a protected external stone pergola and as this is not a flat area, children have to be supervised. For even more comfort, there is a change room with toilet and shower under the pool terrace.
Through large openings the interior and the exterior are unified, creating various resting and relaxation corners throughout the day, some in shadow and some exposed to the sun that bathes the building.
Outdoors, behind the pool, there is a veranda with a shaded dining area equipped with a BBQ and a sink. On the terrace, which is very well protected against the main westerly winds, you choose between sun and shadow, the barbecue area seats everybody easily and there are plenty of places on the other terraces and in the garden to find solitude. There can be serious wind in the south, but this also makes the high temperatures bearable. The house is designed to provide protection!
Indoors, the selection of materials is based on minimalism and simplicity; there is fireplace, underfloor heating and air-conditioning has been installed in all rooms and the studio. Also, the color white predominates on the walls and ceiling, while local marble is used in several forms on floors, the kitchen bench and on bathrooms, with monolithic carved stone blocks combined with wooden elements in natural oak, helping to create a residence with a pleasing aesthetic.

My husband and I stayed here for a break during our European tour and it was the perfect place to simply BE. The home is beautiful, the views are unreal, and being steps down to a secluded beach is rare and calming! Everything about our rental experience was remarkable from the fully-equipped and easy-to-enjoy kitchen to the sparkling clean and cool pool. Some of our favorite moments included: seeing a pod of dolphins swim by, counting the endless constellations in the night sky, catching some shooting stars, mountain biking (rented with no shame walking up steep hills) to nearby restaurants, taking a dip in the peaceful cove, watching the cute sheep on the hilltops and the many birds fluttering around. We will be returning!

The villa was adequately furnished, clean and functional! Spacious bedrooms, bright, high quality bedding facilities and very comfortable. The most amazing of this house is its secluded location. If you are looking for tranquility and relaxation, you may choose this villa for your holidays! The pool is amazing and heatable and the views stunning! Just you and the ocean! If you have the courage, try to get to the beach down of the villa, but mention lot of stairs exist. Recommended to take some supplies with you. Don't miss to use the indoor steam bath. Everyone involved was very helpful and giving us lots of advices for the entire area in the South, where to go, where to eat, where to swim. Although there is not a shop nearby the villa for your supplies in a walking distance there is no problem with that you can shop everything from Agia Galini, which is the nearest village with lots of amenities and restaurants. It is a necessity to rent a car to have easier access to everything. We enjoyed very much our stay in this villa in Agios Paulos!

Well appointed villa and very spacious , built in a pristine nature with majestic views! The pool is heated and the architecture of the place really impressive. Truly wonderful, peaceful and quiet, while relaxing. Fully equipped kitchen with pots, pans and cutlery and lots of appliances. Well facilitated with luxurious amenities, although the design is pretty minimalistic, but this strengthens your feeling of relaxation! The villa offers full of privacy, as it is located in a secluded environment. Recommended to get a car. Hosts are very helpful and friendly, as also they personally welcome us to the house giving all the guidance we needed and supported us for everything during our stay! Visit the picturesque Agia Galini, Triopetra beach and of course Rethymno city
