Villa Olia, Rethymno Town Overview
Villa Olia is located in Rethymno Town, Greece. Rated 9.0 out of 10 based on 7 guest reviews.
Villa Olia is a calm, family-friendly stay in Rethymno Town, Greece, set in the Prines area of Crete.

Guests consistently highlight the peaceful atmosphere and the comfort of having space to spread out, which suits both couples and families traveling together.
From Villa Olia, it’s about 10 km to the Rethymno Archaeological Museum and the Old Venetian Harbor, where you can wander the waterfront and browse the lanes around the harbor. The Venetian Fortress, Fortezza, is roughly 11 km away and is a good choice for a longer outing when you want views over the coastline.

A fitness center is also on hand for guests who prefer to keep a routine while on holiday.
With an overall guest rating of 9/10 from 7 reviews, satisfaction appears to come from a mix of tranquility, practical facilities, and a setting that feels easy to live in. If you want a quieter base with straightforward access to Rethymno’s sights and the island’s natural scenery, Villa Olia is a strong fit.
