Why they chose this property
Villa Fotinou is nestled in the heart of the picture-perfect village of Fotinou — a peaceful, traditional Cretan settlement that offers a genuine taste of rural island life while keeping you only minutes from useful services in nearby Armenoi.
Set between the atmospheric Old Town of Rethymno and the sun-kissed southern coast, Villa Fotinou gives you the best of both worlds: the quiet charm of olive-tree dotted valleys and the easy reach of Rethymno’s Venetian lanes, cafes and historic harbor. Stroll the Old Town’s narrow alleys to discover Byzantine churches, Venetian mansions and lively waterfront tavernas — a cultural day trip that perfectly complements lazy seaside afternoons.
Just a short drive away lies Plakias, a celebrated southern-coast resort known for its sweeping bay, Blue-Flag beaches and excellent swimming, snorkeling and watersport opportunities — ideal when you want to swap mountain silence for a day at the sea. The dramatic landscape around Plakias (gorges, rugged coastline and pine-fringed hills) also makes it a favorite for hikers and photographers.
Fotinou and the neighbouring Armenoi sit amid fertile valleys and low mountains (the area around Armenoi lies beneath Mount Vrysinas), where vineyards, olive groves and citrus orchards create a patchwork of colour through the seasons. That rural canvas means mornings of birdsong, afternoons under plane trees at a local taverna, and evenings watching the light fall across the hills — the kind of relaxed rhythm that makes a Cretan summer unforgettable.
Villa Fotinou itself is designed as a comfortable, modern retreat — bright interiors, outdoor terrace and a private pool — so you can return from a day of exploring to quiet privacy and panoramic countryside views. This balance of nature, convenience and access to Crete’s main attractions makes Villa Fotinou an ideal base for families, couples, or friends seeking a relaxed but well-situated holiday.
