1-bedroom villa in beautiful Rethymno with sea view

Villa Folia - a traditional mansion, a warm nest in the heart of Crete.

Welcome to Villa Folia, an authentic stone mansion in the traditional settlement of Maroulas, built with love and respect for local architecture, just 10 minutes from Rethymnon and the magnificent northern beaches of Crete.

The name "Folia" (nest) is not accidental. In the stone arch of the house, for years they created nests and gave birth to their little ones. This image inspired the creation of a space that exudes security, warmth and tranquility - a true nest for its visitors.

The villa combines authentic Cretan aesthetics with modern amenities and can comfortably accommodate couples or small families seeking quality, quiet and authenticity.

Villa Folia offers unique views of the surrounding landscape, privacy, traditional charm and immediate access to everything that makes Crete unique: nature, history, gastronomy and authentic hospitality.

Come and experience the experience of your Cretan "nest".
