Huis te koop - Rethimno RBU64100

Wake up to the endless blue of the Libyan Sea and the silhouette of Gavdos Island on the horizon. As the first light floods the room, slide open the doors, step into the infinity pool and watch the sun rise over a landscape that feels boundless.
Located on the mountainside of southern Crete, Villa Ariadne owns a 2,315 sqm plot, offering privacy and panoramic views while being only a short drive from the traditional village of Saktouria, the seaside resort of Agia Galini, and the dunes of Agios Pavlos.
Designed to blend contemporary architecture with authentic Cretan heritage, this off-plan villa offers 161 sqm across two levels. On the ground floor, an open-plan living and dining area connects with a kitchen, while a guest WC, an ensuite bedroom, and a storage room complete the space. Upstairs, two bright ensuite bedrooms provide a private retreat, both opening onto a pergola-covered balcony, ideal for enjoying the views from the comfort of your own room.
Outdoors, spacious terraces, an infinity pool, and a sun-lounging area invite endless relaxation. Every angle celebrates the natural surroundings, from sunrise coffees to sunset wine moments.
The architectural vision emphasises harmony between modern design and the island’s historic soul. Traditional elements such as stone walls, natural materials, and subtle references to the region’s agricultural past — old threshing floors, dry-stone terraces, and rustic footpaths — are thoughtfully integrated to create a living experience that feels both rooted and refined.

Location
Located in the peaceful municipality of Agios Vassilios, approximately 50 km south of Rethymnon, you’ll find the village of Saktouria, offering an extraordinary experience of relaxation and tranquillity.

Just a quick drive away, nestled within a sheltered bay, lies the exquisite, organised beach of Agios Pavlos. Remarkably, this beach has retained its pristine beauty over time, remaining unspoiled by the passage of years. A short distance from the main beach, on the western edge, you’ll discover one of the Libyan Sea’s hidden gems – the Dunes of Agios Pavlos, also known as Atsalogremni by the locals. This beach boasts an extraordinary geography, featuring caves and majestic dunes that rise from the depths to create a stunning surface. It exudes a serene energy, setting a romantic mood and providing the perfect spot to witness the famous sunset.

Within this picturesque landscape, specifically in the Apoplystra area, you’ll encounter captivating and vibrant geological formations – multicoloured folds and limestone slabs. These remarkable formations, combined with the Dunes, have even been proposed for inclusion on the list of global natural wonders.

Last but not least, the villa’s location ensures convenient access to both Chania International Airport and Heraklion International Airport, which are 100 km and 90 km away, respectively. Toon alles Toon minder
