Effie's Cozy Villa - spectacular view & playground
The perfect vacation villa for families and friends. As it is built on the highest part of the village it offers its guests a spectacular view of Rethymnon town, the north coast and the mounts Vrisinas and Psiloritis. It has almost everything you might need as it consists of a large pool that cools and relaxes you, a playground that keep children busy and happy, a gym room that keeps you fit, a barbeque area for dinning with friends and family, a fully equipped kitchen and an office working area.
Describing the house. The house consists of a specious living room, a fully equipped kitchen, a bathroom, a shower room, three bedrooms and a gym room. On the ground floor are the living room, the kitchen, the shower room and the gym room. The living room consists of a dining and a sitting room area . The gym room can be used as a bedroom as there is a sofabed that sleeps two. It includes a treadmill, excercise mats, dumbbells, an excercise ball, resistance tubes and an excercise rope. On the first floor are two bedrooms and a bathroom. One bedroom sleeps three with a bunk bed with three single beds, and the other room has a double bed. On the top floor is the fourth bedroom with a double bed. This room can also be used as a working area since it has a spacious desk in front of the window. It is our favourite room since it has two large windows, one with a magnificent view of the town and the south coast, and the other one with a view of mount Vrisinas and the playground. There are also a hidden sink and a fridge into a closet. Moreover on this floor there's a big taracce with 360o angle view.
