Villa Trules SOL-8473

For a family villa holiday in the Cretan countryside, Villa Trules offers the complete package, combining a great location close to the sandy beaches of Rethymnon, a private swimming pool, and a wonderful children’s playground.

Set over one floor, the villa is tastefully furnished, bright, and airy, offering four bedrooms, three with ensuite bathrooms, along with a separate WC and a large lounge with an adjoining kitchen and dining area. Large patio doors open onto the raised shaded terrace with a stylish hanging chair and dining area, perfect for a lingering evening drink after the younger ones are tucked up in bed. This area is linked by stone stairs leading down to the pool terrace, where guests can enjoy comfortable sunbeds, an alfresco breakfast bar, table tennis, and a brick-built barbecue. Another level down is a dedicated children’s playground with soft ground surrounded by trees.

The resort of Rethymnon is a ten-minute drive away. Built around miles of sandy beach, there is a long promenade with ample shops, bars, cafes, and restaurants, so you have all you need in one area. Beyond the town, you can visit ancient monasteries, traditional villages with churches, and the striking White Mountains.
