Vrijstaande woning in Rethimno

Privacy, wide views of the Libyan Sea, less than 500 m to Saktouria’s village centre, a 15-minute drive to the beach, and modern design: this is Villa Semeli.

Conceived to pair contemporary design with Cretan heritage, this off-plan villa offers 96 sqm of living space on a private 2,044 sqm plot. Villa Semeli is designed on a ground-floor level and includes three ensuite bedrooms, a guest WC, and an open-plan kitchen/living/dining area.

The single-level layout is designed to keep movement easy for everyone—family, friends, and all ages—across the villa’s indoor and outdoor spaces. All living spaces open to the main terrace, where an infinity pool carries the view to the horizon.

The terrace offers ample space to enjoy the setting from morning to evening in a serene atmosphere, complemented by a BBQ area, while a basement level below provides out-of-sight storage. Natural stone and wood elements connect the home to its surroundings, while large openings keep interiors bright and extend daily life outdoors.
Location
Located on the mountainside of southern Crete, Villa Semeli offers privacy and panoramic views while being only a short drive from the traditional village of Saktouria, the seaside resort of Agia Galini, and the dunes of Agios Pavlos.

Just a quick drive away, nestled within a sheltered bay, lies the exquisite, organised beach of Agios Pavlos. Remarkably, this beach has retained its pristine beauty over time, remaining unspoiled by the passage of years. A short distance from the main beach, on the western edge, you’ll discover one of the Libyan Sea’s hidden gems – the Dunes of Agios Pavlos, also known as Atsalogremni by the locals. This beach boasts an extraordinary geography, featuring caves and majestic dunes that rise from the depths to create a stunning surface. It exudes a serene energy, setting a romantic mood and providing the perfect spot to witness the famous sunset.

Within this picturesque landscape, specifically in the Apoplystra area, you’ll encounter captivating and vibrant geological formations – multicoloured folds and limestone slabs. These remarkable formations, combined with the Dunes, have even been proposed for inclusion on the list of global natural wonders.

Last but not least, the villa’s location ensures convenient access to both Chania International Airport and Heraklion International Airport, which are 100 km and 90 km away, respectively.
