4-Suite Stone Retreat with Pool & Billiards



About this space

Built on 150-year-old foundations, Villa Angelo is a restored stone retreat in Kato Poros, Rethymno. Designed for groups or families requiring absolute privacy, the layout features four independent en-suite bedrooms. The property combines original Cretan architecture with premium amenities, including an indoor pool table and an enclosed courtyard with a 24 sqm swimming pool. It functions as a secluded base for exploring local nature trails, located a short drive from the beaches of the northern coast.



The Space



Indoor Living

The interior architecture preserves the property's heritage, featuring a hand-carved stone arch that connects the open-plan living area to the fully equipped kitchen. The design utilizes natural stone, muted tones, and clean lines to ensure a functional flow. A staircase provides both internal and external access to the upper level, granting structural autonomy to the first-floor suites.

Outdoor Area

The enclosed private courtyard is paved with smooth stone and centers on a 24 sqm swimming pool with natural shade and loungers. A pergola covers a large dining table situated next to a stone-built BBQ and a ping pong table. The structured environment integrates original architectural elements, including a preserved and illuminated old stone well.



Guest Access

Guests have exclusive access to the entire property, the private courtyard, and the swimming pool. No areas or facilities are shared.

Why they chose this property

Villa Angelo is located in the small, traditional village of Kato Poros, surrounded by olive groves, gorges, and scenic walking paths. The area is known for its peaceful atmosphere, untouched landscapes, and rich natural beauty.

A short walk from the villa leads to Nisi, an abandoned Byzantine village with stone ruins, tiny chapels, and panoramic views—a hidden gem for history lovers and photographers alike. The area also connects to the Kollita Gorges, a network of green canyons ideal for hiking, birdwatching, and quiet exploration. These trails are easy to access and perfect for both casual walks and more immersive nature outings.

While the village feels secluded and calm, it’s only a 15-minute drive to Episkopi Beach, one of the area’s most relaxed stretches of golden sand, and 20 minutes from Rethymno, where you’ll find restaurants, shops, and cultural sites. There is no public transport in the village, so a car is highly recommended.

This location is ideal for travelers who want to experience authentic Cretan life, away from the crowds but close enough to the island’s highlights. It’s perfect for families, couples, hikers, and anyone seeking serenity, nature, and a slower rhythm of travel.

The villa features 4 thoughtfully designed bedrooms, each with its own en-suite bathroom, ensuring maximum privacy for families or groups. Two bedrooms are on the ground floor—one with direct access to the pool area—and two are on the upper floor, including a spacious master suite with a fireplace and private balcony.

Guests can enjoy a fully equipped kitchen, an open-plan living area framed by a hand-carved stone arch, and a peaceful courtyard with a private pool, a shaded outdoor dining area, a built-in BBQ, and a ping pong table. Original elements like stone walls, arched doorways, and a historic well preserve the soul of the house, while curated interiors add modern comfort and understated elegance.
