Aspa Country Villa ***+
Region Kato Tripodo/Rethymnon

* 3 Bedrooms * Swimming Pool * Heating

This is the quintessential Cretan Country villa. It was originally built towards the end of the last century, and has been lovingly restored in recent years by the owners, to show the natural materials to their best advantage.  Any lovers of architecture will appreciate the unusual features of the house and the sensitive way it has been renovated.

The surrounding old stone buildings have the same charm, and in time will no doubt also be carefully brought back to life. The superb large rectangular swimming pool is beautifully positioned at the front of the villa, and the pool side terraces offer comfortable garden furniture, and tranquil vistas.

The 180 sq mt villa, which is suitable for 6 people, is tastefully furnished with much old world charm. On the ground floor there is a comfortable large living room with wooden floors, beamed ceilings and a big open corner fireplace. Further there is a delightful spacious dining room and a well equipped large kitchenette.

There are three bedrooms, one which is situated downstairs and has a double bed, and the other two bedrooms, both of which have twin beds, are situated on the first floor. There is one downstairs bathroom/WC, as well as modern conveniences including a telephone, TV, and heating (at an extra charge).

In the outside storeroom are 4 mountain bikes for the use of guests, and the local area is perfect for biking or walking in the local countryside. The house is in the foothills of the Idi Mountains, near to the ancient village of Eleftherna and across the hills from Margarites, a village noted from olden days to present time as a centre for ceramic arts. From the large upstairs sun terrace you have wonderful mountain vistas and can look all the way down to the sea at Panormo, some 13 km away.  Because of the rural setting, a car is really essential.
