The privately owned villa, which is a listed
building, has a magnificent sea-view, and is situated on a hillside just 6 km
from Rethymnon, in the historic village of Maroulas. It is just 3km from some of
the best beaches on the North Coast of the island. The village has been
classified as a ‘heritage’ site. Most of the buildings date back to at least the
Venetian era and no new construction work can be carried out without the
cooperation of the archaeological department. It is, however, a living,
breathing community, too! The village has two tavernas and two kafeneions. There
is a bus connection to Rethymnon, twice a day. For visitors arriving by plane,
the village is conveniently situated: Heraklion airport is just 80 km away, and
Hania airport is even closer – just 60km.
