Villa with Private Swimming Pool, beautiful Garden and large terrace with BBQ; can accommodate 5 people in its 2 spacious air-conditioned bedrooms. Located in the quiet, traditional village of Prines, 10 minutes away from the center of Rethymnon.

The space
House Zambia has a Private Swimming Pool and a Garden in the back of the traditional, newly built villa, which also contains a large Terrace with a fully equipped kitchen and a Barbecue (BBQ) grill. The high Cretan trees, vegetation and bamboo fences, shield the pool and garden's view completely from the neighboring houses, providing complete privacy and beautiful green surroundings. Located in the quiet, traditional village of Prines in Rethymnon, Crete, House Zambia can accommodate 5 people in its 2 spacious air-conditioned bedrooms, its fully equipped indoor kitchen and dining room and its comfortable living room with satellite TV.

House Zambia follows the traditional Cretan Greek village style with stone walls and traditional furniture, tablecloths, and ornaments. The house seamlessly combines traditional with modern elements to balance comfort and Cretan tradition in order to provide a memorable and authentic experience to all its guests.

House Zambia's master bedroom contains a double bed and its secondary bedroom contains one double and one single bed. Both rooms are air-conditioned - which is something you definitely need during the famously hot Greek days and nights. Both bedrooms are located on the upper floor which also houses the indoors bathroom which apart from the toilet and the bathtub contains a family-sized washing machine.

You don't have to worry about cleaning. House Zambia is professionally cleaned biweekly and all the towels and linen are changed.

The garden not only provides a great relaxing and serene background scenery, but it also provides a cool shadow shelter for those famously hot Greek afternoons. House Zambia's garden is full of Cretan flowers, plants and trees but its centerpiece is the large, glorious Oak tree at the edge of the garden, surrounded by a stone pedestal. Under the oak tree you can find a small coffee table, ideal for a relaxing game of chess or backgammon amidst the guaranteed summer breeze of the garden.

Overseeing the swimming pool and the garden is House Zambia's large terrace. The terrace houses a fully equipped kitchen with a Fridge and freezer, an electric Cooker and a Barbecue grill. You can organize a BBQ with family and friends with local, fresh Cretan meat you can buy directly from one of the village's butcher shops. The terrace also has a large dining table and is protected from the bright Greek midday sun with a tent.

Retired mother of two. I love traveling, eating and cooking. I'm also a winter swimmer, which would be more impressive if Crete weren't sunny and warm all year round :)
