Also the visitor can visit other areas and take advantage of the beautiful beaches and crystal clear sea.
Explore the combination of luxury & tranquility in nature.

The space
Escape to the rolling countryside of Agia Triada at this modern hilltop home in the outskirts of Rethimnon. Sip your morning tea amongst beautiful gardens, olive trees, and soaring views. Enjoy a Cretian dinner under the stars. The next morning, greet the sun while you stroll along Aquila Rithymna Beach, 7-km from home.

Unicorn Villa shows off the clean, straight sightlines of modern architecture while mixing in an elegant, rustic vibe with lots of natural wood and stone elements. The contemporary furnishings give Unicorn a very, here-and-now feel, while the open-air layout and soothing color scheme are a soothing escape. Work on your tan from a sun lounger on the terrace. Catch up on some reading beneath the shaded lounge. At dinner, let the fully-equipped kitchen inspire your inner chef, maybe even try your hand at traditional Cretian cuisine. You could also pick up something fresh from a local market to barbecue on the terrace.

Begin your exploration of Rethimnon at the Guora Gate, the original entrance to the town during the Venetian period. From there, follow ancient cobblestone streets to Four Martyrs Square, the only part left from the old fortification wall. Then, continue to the main market streets for some souvenir shopping and lunch at a small patio restaurant. After, venture on to Old Town, where winding alleys show off incredible architecture from the Venetian and Ottoman influence.
