About this property

Villa Estia in cretan nature

Estia is named after the gooddess "Hestia" of ancient Greece who represents family order and warmth. Located in the village Pagkalochori, just 20 min far from Rethymno town, the house is surrounded by olive trees (the ultimate symbol in Greek myths), lemon, orange, tangerine and several other types of trees, fruits, aromatic local herbs (such as “diktamo”) and flowers. In a spacious and well-cared garden which gives the sense of freedom and comfort our field could easily be considered as a real Cretan nature jewel! The house is ideal for relaxing, unforgettable holidays for you, your family or friends, with a comfortable outdoor area for children and chances for viewing exceptional sunsets!

Villa Estia is located in a privileged area just 1.5 km far from the beach, the nearest shops, mini markets, taverns, pharmacy etc. and 20min far from Rethymno town.

Villa Estia is 75 square meters and offers accommodation for up to 4-5 people. The house has 2 bedrooms, 1 living room, 1 fully equipped kitchen, 1 full bathroom (bathtub and shower).
The rooms are airy and sunny during the day with large balconies that will give your holiday a distinctive feeling of comfort and well-being. The large veranda with table and chairs will invite you to enjoy your meals outdoors in the fresh air. You can have a drink by the pool and sunbathe among the olive groves and the flowers. There is also a free parking space for your car.
The house has view to the pool, garden and countryside and offers such a tranquil, relaxing and dreamy escape to Crete so you could easily think you are in a small paradise on earth!
