Elegant Villa with pool, hot tub & breathtaking sea views


Welcome to Lyra Petra Villa in Violi Charaki, just a short distance from the vibrant heart of Rethymno city in beautiful Crete! Our villa is named "Lyra Petra", in honor of the local tradition. The settlement got its name from a young man who, by playing the Cretan lyra on a rock (called "petra" or "charaki" in the Cretan dialect), was alerting residents of approaching invaders. Our villas name combines the Cretan Lyra and the local stone, capturing the historical and natural charm of the location.
Designed with sophisticated elegance, the villa combines modern simplicity with traditional Greek island architectural details. Constructed using Cretan stone excavated from the exact site where the villa stands and complemented by wood elements, it creates a unique and enchanting atmosphere. Located very near Rethymno center but away from the noise and close to the main road, the villa offers easy access for daily excursions. Enjoy views of our beautiful sea, Psiloritis mountain, and Rethymno city in this serene and luxurious retreat.
Embracing sustainability, our villa boasts A+ energy efficiency certification featuring cutting-edge solar panels, offering an elegant yet environmentally conscious lifestyle.
Discover a perfect escape that includes a private pool, enveloped by a soothing space and relaxing sunbeds. From the veranda, you can enjoy stunning sea views and the historic sight of Fortezza Castle of Rethymno. Our villa features a fully equipped kitchen, perfect for all your cooking needs. Enjoy a delightful BBQ at our outdoor facilities with a dining table situated nearby. For ultimate relaxation, unwind in the hot tub on the veranda, or lounge in the cozy seating area while soaking in the serene surroundings. The villa includes four spacious bedrooms, two of which are master suites with en-suite bathrooms, ensuring comfort and privacy. With a total of four bathrooms, theres ample space for everyone. Entertainment is at your fingertips with TVs in every room and the main living area, all offering free streaming services. Gamers will love the PS5 console available for use in the living room.
Conveniently located near a bakery, a supermarket and a pharmacy, youll have easy access to essential services. Plus, Lyra Petra Villa offers easy access to main roads, leading to the beautiful beaches in the area, making your adventures to the coast a breeze.
