About this property
Iliahtida villa, pool,Near tavern & minimarket
Villa Iliahtida is a beautifully restored stone house from 1880, located in the heart of the traditional village of Maroulas, just 8 km from the center of Rethymno. Combining historical charm with modern amenities, the villa covers 150 m² and can accommodate up to six guests in total comfort. It offers 3 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms.
Inside, the warm, inviting atmosphere is enhanced by stone walls, wooden details, and tasteful furnishings. The open-plan living area features a cozy sitting space, satellite TV, and a large dining table, while the fully equipped kitchen includes a dishwasher, ideal for longer stays. A bathroom with a washing machine is also available on the ground floor, along with the elegant master bedroom that offers a double bed and an en-suite bathroom.
Upstairs, two more bedrooms await—one with a double bed and one with twin beds—each with its own en-suite bathroom and private balcony. From here, guests can enjoy breathtaking views over the olive groves, hills, and the sea. Each bedroom is individually air-conditioned, and the villa offers fast, stable Wi-Fi throughout.
Stepping outside, the private terrace is a true highlight. The 16 m² infinity pool invites you to cool off while admiring the stunning landscape. Comfortable sun loungers are positioned by the pool, allowing you to relax, soak up the sun, and gaze out at the panoramic views of the sea and Cretan countryside.
Located 150 meters above sea level, Maroulas is a peaceful village with Venetian charm, offering a few traditional tavernas, cafés, and a mini-market—just a short stroll from the villa. Whether you're seeking a quiet retreat or a base for exploring Crete, Villa Iliahtida promises an unforgettable stay in a truly magical setting.

About the host
Hosted by Mr Stratos Beretis
Through a journey that started in 2001, Oreo Travel was founded by Stratos Beretis, an experienced member of the Greek Tourism Industry, a Graduate of the Department of Economics of the University of Crete and a Master Degree Holder in Tourism Business Management.
Having passed through several management positions, he was won over by the occupation with tailor made tourism services and especially in inbound tourism in villas, independent properties, country houses and small holiday rental units.

Furthermore, we are constantly available for our guests to answer questions, solve potential problems that may arise while booking or staying in and to recommend services that may be needed to facilitate their stay and maximize their travel experience (car rental, transportation, tours, excursions and concierge services). Our customer support operates daily from 7 am to 11 pm and we provide a 24/7 emergency support to our valuable customers.
We welcome you and wish you a pleasant stay!
