Althea Villa Private Pool, Episkopi (Chania)

Althea Villa Private Pool is a private-villa stay in Episkopi (Chania), Greece, designed around space, privacy, and time outdoors. Located in Episkopi Rethymnou, the setting suits guests who want a calmer base while still reaching Rethymno’s sights in about 10 km. The standout feature is the private pool, which gives you an easy rhythm of swimming and relaxing without sharing facilities. Air conditioning helps keep indoor hours comfortable during warmer periods, and the terrace is a practical spot for meals and downtime between beach trips.

Guests who rated the villa highly in the 9.4/10 range (from 8 reviews) consistently mention the peaceful atmosphere and the sense of having your own corner of Crete. Several travelers also highlight how straightforward the stay feels thanks to express check-in/check-out, plus the usefulness of luggage storage when arrival and departure don’t neatly align with travel plans. Offsite parking with discounted rates is a helpful detail for drivers, and the villa’s non-smoking policy supports a cleaner, more comfortable environment.

For nearby outings, Episkopi Beach is roughly 1 km away for a quick swim or sunset walk, while Rethymno Old Town and the Venetian Harbour are around 10 km for Venetian-era streets, shops, and dining. If you’re looking for a trip that mixes beach time with day trips to Rethymno’s landmarks like the Fortezza area (about 12 km), this villa fits well.

Best for couples and families who value privacy, outdoor living, and the flexibility of a self-contained base in the Chania region.
