About this villa rental

An oasis serenely tucked away from the tourist hordes!

Villa Metochi is the ultimate holiday home for modern-day vacationers searching for full privacy and total home-like comfort, along with easy and rapid access to downtown amenities and to the nearest sandy beaches. This gorgeous villa stands in an enviable cliff-side setting overlooking the Sea of Crete and the endless olive groves, and it’s reachable within a 6-minute drive from the town of Rethymnon.

Villa Metochi is a single-storey building consisting of a roomy main house (90 sqm) with 2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, and a fully equipped studio (40sqm) with 2 beds, 1 bathroom, and can comfortably accommodate 6 -7 persons. This property is ideal for extended families with kids (play ground, baby amenities, toys, books, etc.), elders (no stairs), sports lovers (table tennis, fitness accessories, jogging), couples (idyllic setting, romantic sunsets, privacy) or groups of friends (big outdoor spaces, BBQ facilities, board games). The excellent location, the homey atmosphere, the feeling of independence and the intense close-to-nature sensation will ensure a fantastic vacation experience.

Depending on your needs or the number of guests, there are 2 booking options:
1) If you are up to 4 guests, you can book the main house only at our standard rate.
2) If you are up to 6 or just 4 but need extra space and privacy, you can book both the main house and the studio. In this case, you have to pay our standard nightly rate plus 80 euros/night as a supplement for the studio.

If you are 4 and wish to rent both houses, please set the total number of guests at "6" when reserving. Otherwise, you will automatically book the main house only.

Outdoor
After entering the villa’s gate you will surprisingly find yourselves into an amazing 2.500 sqm exterior space with palm trees, pines, fruit trees, lawn and all kind of ornamental and aromatic plants. This beautiful ambience is completed by a stunning private swimming pool (9m long & 1.40m deep). By the pool, there is a lovely gazebo and a lawn area where you can lounge and sunbathe while enjoying a cold, refreshing beverage. The veranda of the house with its dining table for 6 is the perfect spot for having plentiful meals with family and friends or feeling the rejuvenating night dew whilst enjoying a summer cocktail. The villa also features another outdoor sitting area with BBQ facilities and a big table for 6. Between the BBQ area and the swimming pool there is a play area for kids (swingset and slide) and a hammock for revitalizing naps under the shade of pines. For the more energetic guests, there is an outdoor table tennis offering additional enjoyment. Depending on the season, our guests may have the change to taste fresh fruits from our trees (apricots, pears, oranges, loquats, mandarins, lemons, etc).

8.0 / 10.0Excellent·Oct 2025
Lovely, peaceful villa in beautiful, extensive, immaculately maintained gardens with gorgeous outdoor barbecue and dining area and lots of space for children to run around and play in safety. The owner was very welcoming and helpful. As our flight landed in the evening, she kindly arranged for a delicious Greek meal to be delivered to the villa when we arrived. We loved Rethymno and would like to revisit. The downside is that the villa is not within walking distance from shops and we found driving here quite challenging. A couple more salad bowls would be useful.
10.0 / 10.0Outstanding·Oct 2025
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Villa Metochi. The setting, pool and outdoor space were wonderful and Marina was very helpful in answering all of our questions and even arrange for shopping and a food delivery on our arrival.You do need a car to stay at the villa but the trip to the supermarkets and Rethymno Old Town are just a short drive away.
10.0 / 10.0Outstanding·Aug 2025
Absolutely wonderful - Marina went above and beyond to support us and was extremely helpful. Lovely house, pool and grounds and close to Rethymo - we went to southern beaches mostly about 30-45 mins away which were beautiful.
5.0 / 10.0·Aug 2019
ideal property for a large family, the villa is in a peaceful location around 30 minutes walk to the old town, great if you feel energetic but a car is a must if you don’t, although there are taxis available in the area. The villa was clean & spacious with well kept grounds and gardens, the bbq area is great for entertaining, the pool is ideal and sits on a terrace overlooking a small valley with the sea in the distance. I must mention Hermes, he’s the little dog that lives at the villa, a charming companion to have for those who wake early to watch the sun rise.
