Maison quatre façades in Asteri (Rethymno)

What if daily life could move between the quiet rhythm of a traditional Cretan village, the privacy of your own garden and pool, and the beach just a few minutes away?

Set in the quiet village of Asteri, this furnished villa enjoys charming views of the sea, valley, and mountains, with a private garden and pool that make the most of the setting.

The swimming pool offers a private space to relax and enjoy the Cretan climate. The plot is fenced and accessed through a gate, adding privacy and practicality.

Inside, the villa is arranged over two levels and includes six rooms in total, with three bedrooms and two bathrooms. The living area features a stone arch, adding character and warmth to the home, while the kitchen is fully equipped with an oven, microwave, fridge-freezer, dishwasher, stovetop and extractor hood.

External doors and windows have a tilt mechanism, while selected doors and windows are fitted with shutters. Additional practical features include two storage spaces, one indoor and one outdoor, multiple internal and waterproof sockets, satellite sockets, municipal water supply, septic tank and internet reception.

Rental Potential

Crete’s high quality of life, long holiday season and relatively accessible cost of living make it an attractive choice for short-term visitors, especially around Rethymno and Chania. With warm summers, mild winters and steady appeal throughout much of the year, the island offers strong conditions for holiday rentals. A property like this can work well both as a private home and as an income-producing investment, offering owners the flexibility to enjoy it themselves while also benefiting from rental demand.
