Villa MARIA, ideal base for your excursions in Rethymno and the island of Crete!
Villa Maria, constructed with elements of wood, stone, and tile, evokes the charm of a traditional old Cretan house nestled on a lush 2000m2 hillside.
The awe-inspiring vista from Villa Maria overlooks verdant hills and a tranquil river, while its spacious grounds feature impressive gardens adorned with diverse palm trees, vine-covered pergolas, vibrant flowers, and indigenous herbs. Enhanced by a traditional fireplace, a private swimming pool, unique wooden ceiling beams, and the simplicity of Cretan design, Villa Maria offers an idyllic retreat for unforgettable holidays throughout the year.
Villa Maria spans 100m2 and is constructed with stone walls and large wooden beams adorning the ceilings, divided into two levels.
The ground floor of Villa Maria comprises a dining and living room adorned with traditional curved furniture, a cozy fireplace, satellite television and a fully-equipped kitchen. An air-conditioned bedroom with two single beds and a bathroom are also located on this level.
Beneath the balcony, a dining table provides the perfect setting to savor a meal or breakfast while admiring the splendid views of the verdant hillsides and the river.
