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 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.

We absolutely loved our stay at Villa Alexandros! An absolute gem of a property, well run, and in a great location to be able to maximize your stay in Crete.
Lovely accomodation in a cozy village. Really great service from the host, who welcomed us upon arrival. By arrangement he had delivered pizza to the whole family and it was super nice when we arrived late. Had good contact with the host several times, who fixed minor challenges. Howevre, there is no minimarket or tavern ind the village.

A great social setting
We had loads of pizza and food and drinks on arrival! The space is great for making sure the family spends quality time together. We made great use of the shared spaces and provided games. Thanks so much for hosting and resolving any issues we had
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.
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.

Lovely rural vills
the charme of an old building, lovingly renovated
The kitchen and its equipment was a bit rotten
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 👍

Amazing villa
Amazing beautiful villa with stunning views pictures do not do it justice, very relaxing time among the locals from the village , very clean and tidy cupboards full of spices and fridge was full when we arrived late at night , plus two pizzas waiting ...host was very nice and friendly and was always there if we needed him , highly recommended
Absolutely nothing it was all amazing ... oh just one thing get the cockerel to wake up a little later 🤣
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.
