Nestled within a private 3,000 sq. m. estate surrounded by olive trees and lush Mediterranean gardens, Villa Diktamos is a charming 145 sq. m. residence that combines Cretan character, modern comfort, and authentic tranquility. Located just 15 km from the picturesque town of Rethymno and only 1 km from the nearest sandy beach, the villa is within short distance to local cafés , traditional taverns, shops and other tourist amenities.
On the ground floor, a cozy living room connects through a beautiful Venetian arch to a fully equipped kitchen, opening onto a shaded terrace with garden views—a perfect spot to enjoy your morning coffee surrounded by nature. This level also features a master bedroom with two single beds and a spacious bathroom with two basins for extra comfort.
Ascending the stairs, guests will find two elegant double bedrooms (one with a double bed and one with two singles), each with its own private en-suite bathroom. From the upper terrace, you can relax on the charming swing and take in the peaceful views of the olive groves and the Cretan Sea shimmering in the distance—a truly serene setting for unforgettable moments.
Outdoors, expansive lawns, fruit trees, and aromatic herbs invite you to reconnect with nature. The impressive 128 sq. m. private swimming pool features a separate children’s section and built-in sunbathing islands, surrounded by quality sunbeds and shaded areas for all-day relaxation.
