Villa Yiannis - Rethymnon, Crete, Greek Islands

Situated just outside the village of Prines, this comfortable villa offers excellent holiday living, together with wonderful serenity and seclusion. Nestled along a country lane with a well-tended garden to the front and steps up to its entrance, it offers high quality accommodation throughout, with spotlessly clean modern rooms decorated with fresh-looking fabrics and cool ceramic floors. The spacious and modern sitting-dining room is comfortably furnished and boasts a traditional feature fireplace along with double doors out onto the pool terrace. Separated from the dining area by a sleek breakfast bar, the modern kitchen is superbly equipped and also links to its own small sunny terrace. An open staircase from the sitting area gives access to two upstairs bedrooms affording panoramic views over the surrounding olive groves and countryside.

At ground level, the furnished and private main terrace overlooking the pool is a constant enticement to idle away your time and the owners have thoughtfully supplied a barbecue so you can lap up the sunshine while rustling up al-fresco meals.

For a change of scene, Prines is just over a kilometre away and has a small selection of tavernas and shops, whilst Rethymnon and a beautiful beach are both straightforward car journeys away.
