Villa Terpsis embodies the essence of Mediterranean summer, where the cooling breeze is filled with the sea’s fragrance and days are spent by the infinity pool with the endless blue horizon as the backdrop.

Perched in the charming village of Mariou in southern Rethymno, this exquisite villa rests on a 540 sqm plot. Its design aims for its residents to enjoy unobstructed sea-views from all of the villa's living areas. The villa expands over one floor and offers a total of three double bedrooms, all with en-suite bathrooms, and an open-plan living/dining room and kitchen. Tall sliding doors open up to the sunbathing lounge and pool from all rooms. One of the bedrooms is located separately from the main building, thus creating the perfect guest house. The villa is sold fully furnished and equipped to the highest standards. Frames are double-glazed and fitted with shutters and fly nets.

The focal point of the villa's outdoor area is the pool and sunken lounge/alfresco dining area. The 30 sqm infinity pool is flanked by loungers and poufs inviting you to take off your shoes and sip the soothing sun. There is also a sunken sitting/dining area next to the pool, equipped with a kitchenette, for the alfresco experience. Should it ever become too hot one can retreat to the adjacent shaded sitting/dining area. A short flight of stairs leads to the villa's garden, featuring an assortment of local and exotic flora. The villa is part of an exclusive development and has two designated parking spaces. There is also a car charger for electric vehicles and, in order to enhance the villa's sustainability and eco-friendliness, the owners are in the process of installing a Photovoltaic system with battery storage.

Rental potential

This villa is perfect for those seeking both a private retreat and an investment opportunity. With Crete boasting the longest holiday season of all Greek islands—especially in the south—demand for villa rentals remains high from early April through November, making it an attractive choice for generating additional income. It must be noted at this point that Villa Terpsis is already fully booked for the 2025 high season.
