Cave of Zeus

Cave of Zeus: Crete

Crete’s inland mountains and striking coastlines are simply unparalleled. On this ancient island, you can easily discover these opposing elements of natural beauty from this fabulous villa. Its location is perfect for enjoying unmissable history and heritage, but with a modern environment to come home to.

Close to the medieval coastal town and beaches of Rethymnon, you’ll enjoy spending days here before popping home for a barbecue on the terrace. Cue the jaw-dropping vistas, too – this villa has 360-degree views of everything that Crete has to offer. From up on the pool terrace or the sweeping balcony, you can plan your day from above, cocktail in hand.

And every day you’ll be waking to views of olive groves, orchards, mountains, and the azure waters beyond. Understated interiors really allow the outdoors to shine – both figuratively and literally. Head down to the spacious living area for your morning brunch, where a pot of coffee and fresh orange juice might be best savoured on the verandah.
