Villa with private pool garden and BBQ at quiet Cretan village just outside city
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.
The Bedrooms: House Zambia follows the traditional Cretan Greek village style with stone walls and traditional furniture, tablecloths, and ornaments. The house seamlessly combines traditional with modern elements to balance comfort and Cretan tradition in order to provide a memorable and authentic experience to all its guests.
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 which also houses the indoors bathroom which apart from the toilet and the bathtub contains a family-sized washing machine.
You don't have to worry about cleaning. House Zambia is professionally cleaned biweekly and all the towels and linen are changed.
The Garden: The garden not only provides a great relaxing and serene background scenery, but it also provides a cool shadow shelter for those famously hot Greek afternoons. House Zambia's garden is full of Cretan flowers, plants and trees but its centrepiece is the large, glorious Oak tree at the edge of the garden, surrounded by a stone pedestal. Under the oak tree you can find a small coffee table, ideal for a relaxing chess or backgammon game amidst the guaranteed summer breeze of the garden.
Overseeing the swimming pool and the garden is House Zambia's large terrace. The terrace houses a fully equipped kitchen with a Fridge and freezer, an electric Cooker and a Barbecue grill. You can organize a BBQ with family and friends with local, fresh Cretan meat you can buy directly from one of the village's butcher shops. The terrace also has a large dining table and is protected from the bright Greek midday sun with a tent.
Coming to House Zambia: The village is very easy to find and access by car, but we can also meet you at the center of Rethymnon, in front of the town hall, or on the highway intersection of Rethymnon on the Heraklion-Chania national road.
The village of Prines is less than 5 minutes from the aforementioned intersection, which is called 'Komvos Atsipopoulou'. You can take the exit towards the 'Atsipopoulo' location, which is clearly marked and follow the main road. Shortly you will be greeted by the village's name sign and arrive at Prines.
House Zambia itself is less than 100 meters from the village's central square, on the traditional narrow path that's perpendicular to the main road.
