Villa Aphrodite is located in Adele village, just 8km east of the town of Rethymno and 77 km from the city of Heraklion and the airport. Set amid rolling countryside and vast expanses of olive groves, Adele village can be the ideal choice for relaxing and enjoyable holidays, as it offers the perfect combination of countryside and sea elements.
The idyllic beach near the village consists of a very long stretch of golden sand with crystal clear waters, with a thousand shades of colors, difficult for the most subtle palette to capture.
Built in modern architecture yet loyal to the local tradition, ‘Villa Aphrodite’ offers the perfect solution to a shared family holiday. Tastefully furnished in a modern style, with a touch of traditional elements, this 85m2 Maisonette can accommodate up to 4 (four) people.
The ground floor consists of a spacious living room with a traditional fireplace, a dining room and a rest-room.There is also an open plan, fully equipped kitchen, with a door leading to an outdoor barbecue. The living room doors lead to a pergola covered terrace, furnished with a six- chair table, suitable for meals in the open air.
On the first floor there are two bedrooms and a bathroom with a bathtub and a washing machine. The first bedroom has one double bed and a door leading to a big terrace with a modern wooden pergola, perfect for relaxation.
The second bedroom has 2 single beds that can be turned into a double bed, if requested and a door opening out on to a pergola covered terrace with nice view, as well as a second door leading to a small balcony.
The mattresses of the beds are of natural products that can be used both sides, each made of natural latex- suitable for comfortable sleep.

You can either sunbathe on the deck chairs by the swimming pool, or relax and enjoy the view of the balconies. A barbecue is located at the corner of the garden as well. There is also a private open air parking and plenty of land.
In Adelianos Kampos 2-3 km away all the necessary amenities can be found such as supermarkets, bakery, butcher’s, shoe and clothes shops, souvenir shops, a jewellery shop etc. Doctor’s service is also available in the village.
Directly in Adele village there is a super market some 500 m from the villa , while Agreco's organic products tavern is some 900 meters away.
After a delayed night flight, a wrong turning and a punctured tire - we finally arrived to find the owner was still waiting for us with the key and some home made Greek goodies and produces. What fabulous, warm hospitality! It's a sharp turn off the National Road to get to Adele, so it's worth checking the route on Google Earth especially if you are due to arrive in the dark. Everything at the Villa is run efficiently and well: the housekeeper arrives regularly, the pool is cleaned out and we even saw the gardener on our last day. The pool is a welcome addition and there is enough shade surrounding the terrace to provide a welcome relief from the intense summer sun. We enjoyed living amongst the locals and bought locally produced olive oil, bread and fish to cook on the BBQ from the corner shop and mini market just outside the village. Whilst you do not need a car, it's not far from the plethora of beaches and bays and other local attractions. The Armari Valley, with its spectacular mountain ranges, natural water springs and scenery, stopping off for lunch at a traditional taverna tucked away in one of the mountain villages . Moni Arkadi, was a memorable visit with its turbulent history and we had a memorable lunch at the Faragi Mountain Taverna whilst our daughter was kept amused in their playground garden. Rethymnon and Xania are great towns to explore with their shops, ports and architecture. Try a Rethymnon beer too! We had a relaxing summer holiday exploring this part of this area of Crete. Thank you
