About this property

Villa al Mare. By the beach with private sunbeds and sunshades!

>>Private Umbrellas and Sunbeds are on the beach in front of the villa used only by "Villa al Mare" Residents complying with the appropriate distance from any other sunbeds or umbrellas may be around.<<

If you dream to wake up early with the morning breeze to watch the beautiful dawn; swim in the cool refreshing early morning water at the beach in front of the house or at the swimming pool; relax at the verandas watching the breathtaking colors of the sunset, promising a beautiful night, then the ideal place for you is Villa al Mare.

"Villa al Mare" is built in 2016 in front of the sandy beach of Adelianos Kampos, combining modern textures, in perfect harmony with the surroundings.
For your sweet dreams, we have for you “Coco-mat” mattresses and pillows. When you wake up, you just have to press a button to watch the light of the dawn, as all the window shutters are electric.

Layout of the house:

The 220sqm house consists of 3 floors and an attic.
On the ground floor is the spacious living and dining room, a WC and the Kitchen. The kitchen has easy access to the dining room and the spacious verandah in front or the swimming pool. For the colder nights there is also fireplace at the living room.
On the first floor there are two rooms, each one with private bathroom. The master bedroom has a double bed and beautiful direct view to the beach from the window or from the balcony of common use where it has access too. The second bedroom on that floor consists of two separate beds, and has panoramic view to the area but also to the beach. Both rooms have private bathrooms and can accommodate 2 persons each.
The third room is on the attic, the room for the romantic ones, with private bathroom and panoramic view to the beach and the surroundings, until Rethymnon Fortezza, with a spacious verandah and can accommodate 2 people.
Finally, on the lower floor there is the fourth room, which is practically a small apartment, as it consists of one bedroom, a kitchenette (with hot plates and small oven, small fridge, equipment), a small living room with a dining table and its own bathroom. That small apartment may accommodate 2 people. It has also its own door to get directly outside the house and get from the stairs to the verandah and swimming pool.
One room has double bed.
In all the other rooms you may request if you want a double bed.
All the rooms have their own TV.

In front of the verandah is the swimming pool with sunbeds and sunshades, which is a breath away from the sandy beach and the beautiful sea. Prefer swimming in the sea? No problem! Walking to the beach, you will find your private sunbeds and umbrellas!

We will welcome you in our villa, despite the time, even after midnight in order to help you with the house details and give you as much information as you need about the area, taverns, shops, places and beaches that you have to visit!
Also we will be there for your departure for our last thank you!

Une très belle maison parfaitement située face à la mer.
Accueil aimable. Magnifique maison, bien organisée. Chambres et salles de bain spacieuses et parfaites. Ménage fait tous les deux jours. Cependant la maison manque d'équipement, verres et plats de service. Plage de sable directement accessible en face de la maison. Baignade parfois difficile à cause des rouleaux.

A Fantastic property - Superb location!
Villa El Mare is a gem of a property. It is such a well designed villa - not only making the most of the stunning position but also creating a space that is full of light. The owner makes the whole experience superb - Maria is always on hand to sort out any issues, but also both her and her family are so generous bringing over gorgeous fresh produce from their garden and baking lovely cakes! The attention to detail in the property are excellent - the beds are super comfy! Being able to move from the pool to the beach throughout the day, having all the amenities on your doorstep makes this a villa which really is the most idyllic place to spend your holiday. I cant recommend it enough!

Ideal vacation spot
Great location. Centrally placed on island. Walking distance to shops and near buses. The house was beautifully done and the manager was very responsive to our requests.

Great beach villa
Warm welcome by Maria's sister Myrto. The pictures accurately represent the property. Beautiful home, comfortable beds and pillows, great location and very responsive host. Maria was very helpful in restaurant and day trip recommendations. Property location allowed for easy access to Heraklion and Chania. Rethymno is easily accessible by car (10-15min drive). Our family of 4 (2 adults and children ages 13 and 14) had more than enough room and enjoyed the pool and beach.

Modern Villa Well Depicted By The Site Photographs
First impressions were of a modern large villa in a great location on the beach. We received a warm welcome even though it was evening when we arrived. There is a good choice of local restaurants all within metres of the property. A great bakery and a fair sized supermarket are both very close by. We always ate outside on the patio, in the wonderful climate, but there was adequate table space to eat inside too. We were a party of 5 adults and 3 children ages 9, 10 and 13 and we all loved staying in this villa and everyone agreed we would like to return. What could be better having a pool and being on the beach. We were even brought cakes, clearly home-made, by the ladies servicing the villa. How kind is that! It has been a week since we returned and we are all looking back on this as a special holiday largely due to the Villa al Mare. If we were to make any comments other than the above we might warn families to watch out for the children running around with wet feet after swimming in the pool, as we found that the tiles could be a bit slippery. Not a criticism, just something to watch out for.

About the host

Hosted by Maria Virginia Biraki

Host profile image
Me, Maria Virginia, and my husband, Angelos, we are a couple who loves traveling around the world, exploring ways of life new to us and admiring other civilizations.
Finishing our studies, we returned to our hometown, Rethymnon, and made our family here.
Our marriage in life, led us to marry our passion of our studies in that beautiful villa, "Villa al Mare" . Me -graduate of Glion Institute of Higher Education- and my husband - Civil Engineer- created that villa with love to our town and Cretan nature, and we are available to anyone who wants to discover the beauties of our city and Crete island.

What makes this property unique

Everyone who visited the house had the same amazed expression! That was the same reaction we had, and, imagine, we new the area!
The panoramic view, the direct access to the beach, the little sand lillies that blossom during the summer, the magical colorful sunset, are only some things that compose the beauty of the house and can make you fall in love with it.
