Alexandros villa ,private pool, Near tavern
Villa Alexandros is a fully restored (in 2022) and beautifully preserved stone-built construction with historical roots dating back to 1885. It is situated in the charming village of Skouloufia, just 18 kilometers from Rethymno town. The entire villa spans an expansive 270 square meters and can comfortably accommodate up to 12 guests. In the front of the villa, there is a paved patio area hosting a private 30-square-meter swimming pool that also includes a children's pool, complete with sunbeds and umbrellas. The villa features 6 bedrooms, 6 en-suite full bathrooms, and an additional guest WC.
The ground floor welcomes you with a living area featuring a cozy fireplace and a TV set. A few steps lead through a stunning stone archway to the fully equipped open-plan kitchen area, complete with a large dining table, a spacious fridge/freezer, a dishwasher, a microwave oven, an espresso coffee machine, and all the modern appliances you might need. Adjacent to the kitchen, you'll find a convenient guest WC and a utility room housing the washing machine. Furthermore, the ground floor boasts three bedrooms, two of which feature double beds, while the third offers two single beds, each with its own en-suite bathroom. The kitchen also provides access to the veranda, which is equipped with patio furniture, a large stone-built sofa, and a built-in BBQ with a traditional oven.
Moving to the upper floor, you'll discover three more bedrooms, two with double beds and one with two single beds, all accompanied by en-suite bathrooms. Every bedroom is individually air-conditioned and furnished with smart TVs. The entire villa is equipped with fast Wi-Fi internet access.
Skouloufia village boasts two traditional tavernas, a classic kafenion, and a mini-market for your convenience. The nearest supermarket and the sandy beach of Stavromenos are located approximately 8 kilometers away. A must-visit attraction is the archaeological site of the ancient village of Eleftherna (4 km), which houses one of the most internationally important excavations and archaeological museums. Additionally, the renowned Arkadi Monastery (8 km) with its beautifully restored buildings and museum comes highly recommended. A car is essential for exploring the area, and free parking is available at the villa.

We were made welcome as soon as we arrived. A food “basket” was waiting upon our arrival which was plenty for the 8 of us until we could go shopping the next day. The property was very spacious and clean. Helen the cleaner came in every 2/3 days to clean the Villa, change beds and towels. We had a fantastic stay and was made to feel welcome from the owner as soon as we arrived. Such a beautiful island with lots to see. Would definitely go back.

Top Aufenthalt
Der Gastgeber war durchweg zuvorkommend und hat uns sogar zum Empfang einen ersten kleinen Einkauf spendiert. Um jedes Anliegen kümmerte er sich direkt. Das Haus ist sehr schön und die Umgebung ruhig. Ohne Auto geht es nicht. Wenn man die abgelegene Lage jedoch mag, können wir das Haus nur weiter empfehlen.

Prachtige tijd in Skouloufia
Fantastische woning, met een geweldige service. Eigenaar was top, alles was meer dan in orde. We zijn 's avonds laat toegekomen in de villa en er stonden pizza's klaar, er was ook een hele resem aan eetwaren aanwezig zodat we zelfs de volgende ochtend alles hadden voor een lekker ontbijt. Ook de cleaning service was op en top in orde. Er werd aan al onze wensen voldoen. Zeker een villa die op alle vlakken uitstekend is.

Great House
Wonderful house - great outside areas. Nice village, very small but has both terverna and playground. The mountains and near by other villlages are nice to visit. Perfect place to stay if you want to relax and make small trips. Beach in near by big town is also fine 👍
