Welcome to Rustic Retreat, a traditional Cretan house nestled in the breathtaking countryside near of Heraklion This charming villa is the perfect getaway for those seeking an escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life and a chance to connect with nature. The villa is spacious and comfortable, with a master bedroom and a smaller bedroom with one double bed and one single bed and a three-level living room, perfect for families or groups of friends. The kitchen is fully equipped, and the dining area features a cozy wooden stove, perfect for chilly evenings.
