A luxurious restored 540 m2 villa located in a beautiful Venetian village minutes away from Rethymnon, the cultural and artistic heartbeat of Crete. The recent renovation of the building has shown great respect for the original character of the villa, but has also incorporated all the modern facilities one would expect to find in an exclusive ‘home away from home’. The villa can be rented all year round and can accommodate up to eleven people. The villa has a private swimming pool, is wheelchair accessible, and welcomes domestic pets. An outstanding location providing peace and tranquility.
The villa has two wings. The first wing is a two-stored building which was once part of a larger farmhouse. The second wing is a one-stored building that used to be an olive press, originally constructed during the period of Turkish rule. The two wings of the villa connect via a modern covered walkway designed by the internationally renowned architect Yiannis Kalitsounas – who has created a fusion of light, glass and space, bringing different times and cultures together. A conservatory style entrance leads you into the main living area. The design is open-plan: You will find a huge lounge with a stunning white marble floor, a kitchen and dining area, a vaulted television room, and hi-tech office space. The kitchen is fully equipped - dishwasher, microwave, oven etc.Techno facilities here include: PC, WIFI, giant screen (3.5m x 3.5m), overhead projector managed by computer, a telephone, fax, television, video tape recorder, hi-fi, CD-DVD….The dining area is spacious and there is also a children’s play space. The living area leads out to a small inner courtyard which houses a Jacuzzi which is big enough for at least seven people. Your additional fifth bedroom is also located in this part of the building. The villa has five bedrooms, all with air conditioning for the summer - and central heating for the winter. We provide you with all bed linen and hand towels, and we also provide a daily (aside from Sundays) fully comprehensive domestic cleaning service. There is plenty of outdoor space within the grounds of the villa. You have the large courtyard with the swimming pool and the smaller ‘Jacuzzi’ courtyard and a large roof terrace on the first floor of the building, where you can lay down on lounge chairs.
