Villa Lithi is a stylish private retreat nestled in the peaceful village of Erfi, just a short drive from Rethymno town and the sandy beaches of Stavromenos. Blending modern design with authentic Cretan character, this elegant 120 sq.m. villa accommodates up to nine guests and offers a warm, welcoming atmosphere from the very first moment.
Upon entering the ground floor, guests are welcomed into an open-plan dining area that flows seamlessly into a beautifully decorated living room featuring a 55’’ Smart TV. On the same level, there are two spacious bedrooms designed for absolute comfort, each with its own en-suite bathroom — one with a bathtub and the other with a walk-in shower.
A modern staircase leads to the upper floor, where the heart of the home unfolds. Here, guests will find a fully equipped contemporary kitchen, ideal for cooking and spending quality time with family or friends. The upper level also features two stylish bedrooms: one with a decorative bioethanol fireplace (not intended for heating) and a freestanding bathtub designed for relaxation (without WC), and another bedroom with a comfortable work desk. These two bedrooms share an outdoor bathroom with a shower and WC, offering both practicality and privacy. From the balcony, guests can enjoy relaxing views of the mountains, the pool, the garden and partial sea views — an ideal setting for morning coffee or a memorable Cretan sunset.
The outdoor area is designed purely for relaxation and enjoyment. A private swimming pool with sun loungers and umbrellas invites guests to soak up the sun, while a spacious outdoor dining area with a gas BBQ and mini fridge creates the perfect setting for al fresco meals under the pergola. A comfortable hammock placed in the garden offers a peaceful spot for reading, napping or simply unwinding. Next to the pool, a sunken lounge with a modern bioethanol fireplace creates a magical evening atmosphere, ideal for drinks, conversations and tranquil moments under the starry Cretan sky.
Surrounded by a beautifully maintained garden, elevated terraces and complete privacy thanks to the fenced property, Villa Lithi offers a serene and stylish environment throughout. Each of the four bedrooms features a queen-size bed, air conditioning, blackout shades and elegant décor, ensuring a restful night’s sleep.
The villa provides three bathrooms in total, including two en-suite bathrooms and one shared outdoor bathroom, while one bedroom also features a freestanding bathtub as a luxury design element. Additional amenities include high-speed Wi-Fi, Smart TVs in every room with satellite channels, a washing machine, iron, work desk and a full range of modern kitchen appliances.
Located close to beaches, supermarkets, cafés, restaurants and the historic Arkadi Monastery, yet offering the tranquility of a traditional Cretan village, Villa Lithi strikes the perfect balance between peaceful seclusion and easy access to local attractions.
With its refined style, private pool, premium outdoor spaces and serene surroundings, Villa Lithi promises a relaxing, comfortable and truly memorable stay — a place where every moment becomes a lasting memory.
