This beautifully renovated villa is situated in the middle of the lovely old village of Meroulas, renowned for its Venetian houses, about 7 kms from the town of Rethymnon and 3 kms from lovely local beaches. The house was originally two separate buildings, one (the two-storey section of the house) dating from the 14th century during Venetian times, and the other (the one-storey section) dating from the 17th century Turkish period. The two sections were united harmoniously in 1990 and the house has since received an award from the Archaelogical Society in Athens as well as being featured in many Greek foreign magazines, including Vogue and Marie Claire. The total area is 400 square metres.
A 400 square metre patio courtyard with high walls, offers peace and privacy in spite of being in the heart of the village. Furnished with garden furniture and potted plants, there is also a small swimming pool. There are various terraces on different levels, including a Jacuzzi terrace (seating up to 8 people) outside the dining area and one of the bedrooms, and spacious upper sun terraces with glorious views across the countryside to the sea.
The house is accessed through a courtyard and an impressive conservatory-style entrance into a huge living room with old stone archways, a fireplace and several seating areas. The luxurious and tasteful interiors are also very well equipped including telephone, fax, satellite TV, video, radio, air conditioning and heating.
