Elia Villa, with Pool, SeaViews & Iconic Design, By ThinkVilla, Astérion

Elia Villa, with Pool, SeaViews & Iconic Design, By ThinkVilla is a standout villa stay in Astérion, Greece, set in the Stavromenos area where coastal views and day-trip routes meet. The address sits in Stavromenos, so you’re close enough to reach Stavromenos Beach for a morning swim, yet far enough to enjoy quieter evenings around the terrace. With a guest rating of 10/10 from four reviews, the feedback points consistently to the villa’s design impact, the calm atmosphere, and the way the sea views make even simple downtime feel special.

This is a place that works particularly well for families and road-trippers. Children are welcome, and the outdoor setup includes a pool designed for easy family use, plus BBQ facilities for relaxed meals at home. Indoors, air conditioning helps keep the villa comfortable after a hot beach day, while non-smoking rooms and a safety deposit box add practical reassurance.

If you want variety beyond the villa, Rethymno Old Town is about 9 km away for Venetian-era streets and waterfront promenades, and Fortezza Castle sits roughly 10 km from the property for panoramic views. For a different kind of day trip, Arkadi Monastery is around 25 km, offering a memorable historical stop with surrounding countryside scenery.

ThinkVilla also lists helpful logistics for independent travelers: free parking on site, offsite parking with discounted rates, car hire, and even massage services for slower afternoons. Table tennis is on hand for low-key competition, making it easy to keep everyone entertained without leaving the property. In short, Elia Villa is a strong match when you want a self-contained base with sea views, a pool, and straightforward access to Rethymno’s highlights.
