About this property

Iris villa for 8, near taverns & mini markets

Iris Villa is a spacious 240 square meter, two-story villa that provides comfortable and fully equipped accommodations, flooded with natural light. It is nestled in the serene countryside, surrounded by olive groves, and located just 4 kilometers from a pristine sandy beach.

The expansive living room is tastefully furnished with large sofas, an armchair, a fireplace, a flat-screen TV, and elegant decor, seamlessly connected to the dining area, featuring a generous dining table.

The villa offers three inviting bedrooms – one with a double bed and two with twin beds. There is also an office room equipped with a sofa that can be converted into a semi-double bed. Each of the three bedrooms has access to spacious balconies and is equipped with individually controlled air conditioning units, while the office room is equipped with a fan.

The kitchen is generously sized and fully equipped with modern appliances, including a convenient breakfast table. An internal marble staircase leads to the first floor. There is one bathroom on the ground floor and two additional bathrooms on the first floor.

The exterior areas are thoughtfully designed, with shaded verandas and furnished outdoor spaces that provide a perfect setting for relaxing moments amidst the beautiful garden and the well-manicured lawn. The villa offers WiFi coverage throughout, and a 28 square meter swimming pool is surrounded by comfortable sunbeds and umbrellas.

The charming and picturesque village of Prines is just 750 meters away, offering an ATM machine, two mini-markets, and three traditional taverns. A short drive will take you to the delightful beach of Gerani, where you can enjoy a meal at a fish tavern. A few more minutes' drive will bring you to the long sandy beaches of Petres, Episkopi, and Kavros, complete with beach bars and snack options. Rethymno town is 8.5 kilometers away, offering a full range of tourist amenities, attractions, museums, restaurants, nightlife, and a bustling market.

Schöne Villa in sehr guter Lage
Die Villa bietet im unteren und oberen Geschoss zwei sehr große Terassen. Unten hat man viel Platz an dem man sich aufhalten kann und selbst bei einem Regenschauer das Grillen nicht unterbrechen muss. Oben kann man sich unter einem Baldachin auf Liegen legen und genüsslich das Meer beobachten. Das Haus und die Einrichtung wirken sehr neu und es wird alle vier Tage sauber gemacht (Haus+Pool). Es gibt eine gut funktionierende Waschmaschine und die Küche ist sehr hochwertig und umfangreich ausgestattet (nur Markengeräte; Kühlschrank ist riesig und sehr kalt) bis auf ein paar Kleinigkeiten (es könnte ein-zwei schärfere Messer geben und eine Schere, jedoch sind wir hier selbst ausgerüstet angereist.) Die Klimaanlagen können sehr leise und zuverlässig betrieben werden. Es gibt Häuser mit größeren und tieferen Pools, für uns aber völlig ok. Seltener Moped-Lärm von der Hauptstraße ist nicht zu hören, wenn man die Fenster schließt. Die Lage ist sehr gut, direkt Nahe der Hauptstraße kurz hinter Prines. In Prines gibt es 3-4 Tavernen, die zu Fuß zu erreichen sind, zwei kleinere Superkärkte, eine Tankstelle und überall freundliche Leute. Auf dem kurzen Weg bis zur Nationalstraße findet man zahlreiche weitere Tavernen, einen Bäcker sowie noch 3 Supermärkte und wenn man es über die Kreuzung an der N80 schafft, landet man bei einem weiteren sehr großen Supermarkt. Der Besitzer ist sehr freundlich und diskret und fragt alle paar Tage nach, ob etwas fehlt oder Probleme aufgetreten sind.

Beautiful villa
This was our first time visiting Iris Villa, we are a family of 8 and this villa was very spacious and had everything we needed. The villa itself is absolutely stunning you can’t fault it. The owner Kostas was very accommodating and if we needed anything he was right there which was great. Perfect location just a 10 minute drive into Rethymno. We will be returning to Iris Villa. Nothing

Summer 23
Fantastic holiday. Wonderful large villa. Pool maintained daily. Owner visited daily, broken bedside light replaced next day. Three great tavernas 5 minute walk lovely local dishes. Villa cleaned, bedding and towels changed three times during a two week holiday. Kitchen well stocked including coffee machine, panini press, orange juicer and more. Would definitely stay again. We hired cars and were able to travel into Rethymno a wonderful harbour town with wonderful shopping and eating places.

Beautiful Villa in Mountains above Rethymno
The villa was immaculately presented and Kostas was a very good and kind host. Despite the pressures of his work he responded quickly to all our enquiries and was a very good and knowledgeable guide to the area. In addition he is an excellent cook and baked us a present of his special chocolate cake which was much appreciated. I would recommend this villa to anyone seeking a quiet holiday adjacent to the town and beaches of the Rethymno district.

Relaxation in beautiful Prines
The villa is really well equipped inside and has a really nice garden, veranda and swimming pool outside . The host Kostas is a really kind and welcoming person for whom nothing is too much trouble. I would really recommend this villa to anybody considering a holiday in the Rethymno area.
