PROPERTY SOLD: Unfortunately, someone else already bought this property; this listing is just for reference purposes. If you are interested in similar properties, get in touch with us and we will find your dream home in Greece.

This cosy 130 sqm villa is situated just 4 km from Rethymnon and enjoys splendid views of the valley, the mountains, and the sea, offering all modern amenities whilst located in a serene, hamlet setting.

The villa is developed on a 421 sqm plot and unfolds over two floors: the ground floor, which is 81 sqm, includes the open-plan living/dining room, with fireplace and kitchen, while there is also a bedroom with a double bed and spacious wardrobes, and a bathroom. An interior staircase takes us to the first floor, where we find the master bedroom, the third bedroom, fitted with a bunk bed, and the second bathroom. The villa is being sold fully and tastefully furnished. Solar panels provide electricity and greatly reduce the energy costs of the property, while the irrigation of the gardens uses water at a special, lower rate. The air conditioning units are used to heat the premises during the mild, Cretan winters. The villa has ample storage space, four distinct storage rooms to be exact, ranging from 5 to 9 sqm. The spacious balcony on the first floor offers nice views of the sea, the olive groves and the outskirts of the city of Rethymnon.

The focal point of the beautifully landscaped gardens is the 31 sqm, 1.5 m deep swimming pool. Next to the pool, there is a pergola with an outdoor dining area, while there is open-air parking for two cars inside the premises, and the electric gate offers comfort and security.

Rentals

While the villa is perfect for year-round living, it’s also an excellent investment as a rental property. Renting a villa like this, on Greece’s largest and most accessible island, can offer high returns and is a popular choice among many owners. Crete enjoys one of the longest high seasons across all of the Mediterranean. At the same time, several property management agencies operating on the island can undertake the rentals of the property, offering owners an income and peace of mind.
