Villa Elena Beach is a fully private two-bedroom villa with heated pool, outdoor jacuzzi, and direct access to the Aegean — just 70 metres from a wild, unspoiled beach in peaceful Pigianos Kampos, 9km from Rethymno, Crete.

The entire property is yours. No shared spaces, no other guests on site.

The moment you step outside, everything slows down. A private pool, an outdoor jacuzzi, and a Bluetooth sound system in the garden — all 70 metres from a wild Cretan beach with no sunbeds and no crowds. On cooler evenings, the wood-burning fireplace makes the living room the best seat in the house.

Pigianos Kampos is Crete without the tourist noise. A wild beach steps away, traditional tavernas within easy reach, and Rethymno's stunning Venetian Old Town just 15 minutes by car. Day trips to Preveli Beach, Arkadi Monastery, and the Museum of Ancient Eleutherna reveal a side of the island most visitors never find.

Location: Quiet and residential, yet perfectly positioned. Traditional tavernas including Paraplous Restaurant and Zisis Restaurant, a supermarket, bakery, and coffee shop are all nearby. Rethymno's Venetian Old Town — harbour, fortress, and restaurants — is 15 minutes by car.

What's your favorite thing within walking distance?

The beach — 70 metres from the front door. Wild, unspoiled, and almost always quiet. Walk there in the morning before the day begins and you'll understand why guests keep coming back.
