The house

A stone villa with a private pool, carved into the Cretan hillside

Bezari began life as a traditional stone house in the quiet hamlet of Metochia Fratzeskiana. Restored with care, it keeps its thick walls, timber ceilings and hand-built arches — while every comfort of a modern retreat has been folded quietly inside.

Two hundred square metres unfold across three bedrooms and three bathrooms, dressed in soft linens and plush towels. Beyond the terrace, the private pool draws your eye to a horizon of olive groves, red-tiled rooftops and the mountains of Rethymnon.

Your all-encompassing retreat

Everything you need, nothing you don't

Four things guests remember most about a stay at Bezari — each one designed around ease.

Pool with a view

Slip into a private pool where the water meets the sky, framing an uninterrupted panorama of the surrounding landscape.

Satellite internet

Work remotely, stream, or stay in touch — a reliable satellite connection keeps you online even off the beaten path.

Space & serenity

Three bedrooms and three pristine bathrooms give everyone room to breathe, with sumptuous linens and plush towels throughout.

Family & pet friendly

Little ones are welcomed with an indoor play area and baby safety gates — and your four-legged companions are, too.

Panoramic splendour

The pool is the heart of it all

By day it mirrors the mountains; by night it glows beneath a sky thick with stars. Whether you swim, read, or simply watch the light change over the valley, this is where the hours slow down.

What guests say

Five stars, three times over

Every review below was left by a guest on Google or Booking.com after their stay.

Well, what can be said here? Only that it is a wonderful place, unique. Beautiful, clean villa, swimming pool overlooking the valley and warm water at any time of day or night. Lots of nooks and crannies for spending free time and relaxing, barbecue, terraces and lots of plants. The hosts were extremely nice — they delivered fruit every few days and looked after the plants. Local tavernas are a few minutes away by car in every direction.

An amazing place. We had a wonderful time there. So many different spaces to spend time in — in the sun, in the shade. We already miss it… Thank you!
