Amazing spacious Country Villa with views to the sea and mountains. There's a large swimming pool with attached kids pool that overlooks the sea and town below. In the backyard there's a homemade pond with waterfall and plenty of fish, a great place for all ages to sit and relax. Also there's a volley ball / badminton net and a basketball hoop with equipment. In the courtyard is a ping pong table and dart board. Inside there is a pool table. The Staff lives in a separate apartment inside the villa on the bottom floor for all of your needs. Finally there is a second apartment on the ground floor, but that is rented out between the months of September to May, so the pool is communal between those months.
We will be here at the Villa to greet you with open arms and a welcome package of snacks and drinks. We are on call 24/7 for anything that you need. Your time at the Villa will be very special and memorable, we will do everything to make sure that your holiday is Perfect!!
In the Village of Roussospiti we have 3 traditional Greek tavernas all with the freshest quality food and drink. There is a playground and soccer field close by walking distance. Mili Gorge is approximately a 4 minute drive for a nice hike. The town of Rethymno and its beaches is a lovely picturesque drive of about 10 minutes down the mountain.
