NEW FOR 2025
Red Oak Tree Villa is an elegant and strikingly contemporary property near the old Venetian town of Rethymno, with views out across the surrounding countryside to the sea. It sits on a peaceful, elevated site surrounded by Mediterranean gardens, the perfect contrast to the sharp architectural lines and gleaming white pillars that make quite a statement in an otherwise traditional area.
At 200sqm, this is a lot of house for up to just 6 guests, immaculately finished with Italian designer interiors. Luxury bathrooms and hotel-quality beds make everything feel delightfully indulgent, with a helpfully flexible twin/double configuration to suit friends as well as a family group. Between the pool and the large sun terrace you get another 200sqm of space outdoors, including a 50cm-deep splash pool for kids and non-swimmers and a lovely bubbly Jacuzzi that can be heated for early or late season enjoyment. And when you need to escape the sun for a while, the basement pool table is great for perfecting your skills or hosting a fun family tournament.
Dining by the pool is a holiday must, and when you want to eat out for a change, there are tavernas and a mini-market in nearby Prines village. The north Crete coast has many wonderful beaches, the closest being Gerani, a 10-minute drive. About the same distance away is Rethymno; sometimes referred to as mini-Chania for its Venetian architecture, this charming university town has an identity all of its own, well worth a visit for a harbour-side lunch and a wander round its fascinating Old Town.
Red Oak Tree Villa is one of a pair; each villa is entirely independent of the other, but there is a gate connecting the two gardens should you wish to rent both together for a larger party.

Our choice of Greek properties is as diverse as the islands themselves, ranging from simple seaside charm to genuine luxury and style. Much of our portfolio is privately owned, and price alone is therefore not a universal guide. We contract all our accommodation in person, and each property has its individual appeal. To help you make the right choice based on your own priorities, we have devised a simple grading guide to be considered in conjunction with each individual property description, awarding up to a maximum of five stars for the below categories.
* For further clarification on Facilities and Amenities, please view the 'Details' tab for each property or speak to one of our experienced sales consultants.
As the birthplace of Zeus, Central Crete carries a certain historic and spiritual gravitas. Knossos, the Minoan Bronze Age palace, steals the show, but there are many other smaller archaeological sites, churches and towns to cast you back in time. However, with harbourside dining, beautiful beaches, mountain villages and vibrant summer festivals, the here and now also has a lot to offer. And Rethymno, which has clung on to much of its authentic beauty and charm, is a welcome addition to your island experience.
