This gorgeous villa has a veranda and pool that overlooks a beautiful, olive-tree-planted valley with a sea view. In the morning there are birds singing, in the afternoon, cicadas and the tinkle of sheep bells. Everything was perfect: the setting, the beautifully-decorated house, and George is the most kind, thoughtful, and accommodating host. We were four ladies celebrating our birthdays, staying for just a few days with our kids of various ages, and everything was absolutely delightful. Perfect for kids and families or larger groups. All I can say is our stay was too brief. Next time, we'll stay for two weeks! Thank you George!

Das Haus ist sehr schön. Und wir haben den Urlaub sehr genossen. Die Kommunikation mit George war sehr gut und es gab unsererseits keine Beanstandung. Wir würden immer wieder hier buchen!

About the host
Hosted by George Evangelou
We have settled in Rethymno with my wife and son since 2006 after we returned from Manchester UK where I spent many years to complete my training in Dermatology and my Doctorate thesis from the University of Manchester. I love nature, meditation, and music as I am musician myself. Vederi offers me the opportunity to relax and enjoy the stillness with great clarity experienced in the grounds and landscape of Vederi Estate. The flora and horticultural is breathtaking, we also have private gardens with a variety of herbs and spices of Crete. All orchards are to be enjoyed, the organic fruit, vegetables, spices of the Estate.
Why they chose this property
The land was passed down through our parents and we always wanted to make the best of a place with unique beauty and tranquility.
What makes this property unique
Very close to the vibrant city of Rethymno with its amazing medieval architecture, long sandy beach and gourmet restaurants
