Astelia Villa, Kókkinon Khoríon

Astelia Villa is a private holiday home in Kókkinon Khoríon, Greece, set on Kanoni Street in the Kokkino Chorio area. With a guest rating of 10/10 from one review, it’s the kind of stay that tends to suit travelers who want calm, space, and a straightforward base for exploring the Rethymno region. The villa’s infinity pool is a standout for unwinding between outings, while the terrace with outdoor furniture gives you somewhere to linger outdoors without needing to leave the property. Air conditioning and non-smoking rooms help keep stays comfortable regardless of the day’s weather.

This is best for families and small groups who prefer a home-like rhythm: shared meals, quiet downtime, and easy access to nearby beaches and cultural stops. If you’re planning day trips, the Archaeological Museum of Rethymno is about 23 km away, and the Old Town and Venetian Harbour are also roughly 23 km from the villa. For beach time, Koutalas Beach and Vrasco Beach are within about 15–16 km, making it practical to alternate swimming with slower afternoons.

The property also notes staff adherence to local safety protocols, plus practical touches like a safety deposit box and non-smoking throughout. Offsite parking is available with discounted rates, which can matter if you’re arriving by car. Reviews from past guests highlight the overall peaceful feel and the way the layout supports relaxed family time, rather than a busy hotel schedule.
