DISCOVER AUTHENTICITY AND LUXURY An authentic experience in the Venetian Cretan history and architecture. It is an ideal choice for family gatherings. Villa Maroulas is a detached luxury house in the hills of the romantic village of Maroulas. With a splendid sea view. The village has three taverns with local food that you can walk to in a few minutes. Just 3 km from the sandy beaches and just 10 minutes from the beautiful city of Rethymnon by car. The central location is an ideal starting point for exploring the entire island, it is situated equal to the two international airports (Chania and Heraklion) and offers direct access to the southern region of the island. Built in the 15th century, the villa is an excellent example of restoration which kept the Venetian charm, the interior is artistically designed and does not prevent modern comfort. The imposing bay windows that can be opened and the vaults that date from the Venetian era, with ceiling heights exceeding 3.60 meters, add a sense of volume and luminosity to this former olive oil factory. The villa features an unobstructed swimming pool that can be heated, as well as a spacious furnished terrace with a magnificent view of the sea. spacious living room with a fireplace occupies the central area, where a 3m-wide cinema screen unfolds on the bay windows. You should fully enjoy your holidays! We offer a six-day/weekly service whereby a cleaning lady will also take care of washing your clothes without any additional cost. Our wine cellar will be available to you. In addition to a large selection of wine, alcohol, beer, and soft drinks, you will find local products as well as necessities and cooking products.

Greetings from the beautiful Mediterranean island of Crete! My name is Yorghy, and I'm a passionate host with Greek and Belgian roots. I have lived in different countries, gaining extensive experience in tourism, hospitality, and gastronomy. As a dedicated host, I'm thrilled to welcome people from all over the world, and as a passionate chef, I love to prepare delicious meals. At heart, I am Greek, and my family and I moved to the picturesque island of Crete twenty years ago to raise our daughters. My goal is to provide my guests with an authentic experience of Cretan life and ensure that they have a memorable stay. It would be my pleasure to welcome you to Villa Maroulas!
