VILLA-AURORA is located in Rethmnon, almost at the centre of Crete, North of the village of Koxare, at an ideal starting point for excursions to get acquainted with the natural scenery, the beauty and the colors of our land and our soul.The first feeling you have arriving at Villa is the strong energy emanating from a wild and uncontaminated place. Landscape, Nature and tradition do the rest: breathtaking view toward the horizon, a green meadow bathed in the humid light of a sinking sun and inhabiting the Cretan culture and tradition. A large living room surrounded by all the amenities, on the middle floor. The decor of two armchairs and the two sofas in this space is busy but not cluttered in the space with openings that leads out onto an adjoining terrace and a breathless flatland view in the early day light where is converting as a wonderful sunset later, at that combining the garden with the swimming pool. Stepping up two steps, is the kitchen and the dinning room making the feeling incorporate practical, stylish furniture that stands the test of time into this multi-functional space.
