Villa with private pool, garden & BBQ at quiet village near city

House Zambia has a private swimming pool and a garden at 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 neighbouring 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.

Relax inside or besides the pool, read a book under the shadow of the big oak tree in the garden, or organize a barbecue (BBQ) with your family and friends with fresh local meat from the village's excellent shops. House Zambia is ideal for a quiet, private getaway with your significant other, your friends or your family.

Location:
Located in the old settlement of Prines, Rethymnon, Crete, Greece. The area is very quiet and retains its traditional characteristics. The location makes House Zambia an ideal holiday retreat for those seeking relaxation but also for those that want to explore Crete with its outstanding beaches, enchanting gorges and caves, and its mysterious ancient ruins - remainders of the Minoan and Venetian civilizations.

The village of Prines is seven (7) minutes away from the centre of the town of Rethymnon (central Crete) and another seven (7) minutes away from the beautiful beach of Episkopi. All the other parts of Crete, Chania, Heraklion, and Agios Nikolaos are just a short drive away. Specifically, Chania is 40 minutes away, Heraklion 1 hour, and Agios Nikolaos 1 hour and 40 minutes. Although there is public transportation available to tour around Crete we highly recommend that you rent a car as this is the most convenient and quick way to explore Crete.

Bathrooms:
House Zambia has an indoors bathroom next to the two bedrooms, which apart from the toilet and the bathtub, also contains a family-sized washing machine. In addition the indoors bathroom, there is also a fully functional bathroom with shower enclosure and toilet outside the villa building close to the private swimming pool and the garden.

Bedrooms:
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. Both rooms can comfortably accommodate 5 people. However, since the single bed is quite wide, it can also sleep 2 young children. In addition to that, the sofa in the living room turns into a bed, so 1 more person can sleep there if need be. Therefore, if you don't mind it, House Zambia can accommodate at most 7 people and we will be happy to help you with your sleeping arrangements. However, for maximum comfort we recommend that at most 6 people stay at our villa at a given time.
