Villa Princess, Rethymno Town

Villa Princess is a standout stay in Rethymno Town, Greece, set in the Akrovateri area at Ρέθυμνο 741 00, where you can balance beach time with easy access to the town’s sights. Guests consistently praise the calm feel and the smooth, attentive service, and the property’s 9.9/10 guest rating reflects that many visitors felt looked after throughout their stay. The villa’s outdoor setup is a big part of the appeal: you can unwind by the swimming pool and spend evenings on the terrace, with BBQ facilities available for simple, social meals. Inside, air conditioning helps you stay comfortable when the Cretan sun is at its strongest, and non-smoking rooms make the atmosphere feel fresh and easy.

For families, the combination of space and a quieter residential feel works well, while couples often mention how the villa layout supports relaxed mornings and unhurried nights. Travelers also value the guest education on local ecosystems and culture, which adds context to what you see around Rethymno rather than treating the trip as a checklist.

In terms of nearby highlights, Koumbes Beach is about 1.3 km away for swimming and shoreline walks, while the Municipal Garden is similarly close at roughly 1.3 km for a shaded stroll. Fortezza Castle sits around 1.8 km from the villa, giving you a clear, memorable landmark for a day out. If you’re planning to explore the Venetian harbour and Old Town, you’ll find them within a short drive or a longer walk from the Akrovateri area.
