Anna's Villa is an authentic, carefully restored multi-level stone house of 118 sqm, blending traditional charm with modern touches. Located in the picturesque Mesi Traditional Village, just 10 km from Rethymno city, it offers relaxing accommodation with a private pool.
Hidden within the charming narrow alleys of the village, the villa offers privacy, character, and relaxing outdoor spaces perfect for a memorable stay in Crete.
Your arrival begins at the villa’s traditional wooden entrance door, which opens into a small private courtyard. From here, the entrance to the villa welcomes you inside.
Entering the house, you walk through a hallway and up three steps that lead to the comfortable living room, where you can relax and enjoy the TV area. The living room connects directly to the fully equipped kitchen, creating a warm and functional space for everyday living.
From the kitchen, a door leads directly outside to the pool area and courtyard, making it easy to enjoy indoor-outdoor living. Just a few steps down from the kitchen, you will find the dining area, a charming space that beautifully preserves the home’s traditional Cretan style, featuring original elements that reflect the history and character of the house.
Continuing through the villa, a few steps lead to a central hall with a staircase. Directly ahead is the first bedroom, equipped with two single beds. This bedroom is particularly convenient as it also includes a small private kitchenette with a mini fridge, as well as its own bathroom with a shower, making it ideal for guests who appreciate additional independence.
From the hall, a wooden staircase leads to the upper floor. The first bedroom on the right features a comfortable double bed and a private bathroom with a bathtub.
A few steps further up leads to the master bedroom, offering a super king-size bed, its own private bathroom with a shower, and beautiful views from the window overlooking the garden and the swimming pool.
Outside, the villa truly shines. Stepping out from the kitchen door, you enter the peaceful courtyard and private swimming pool area, where guests can relax on sun loungers under umbrellas and enjoy the Mediterranean sunshine.
Next to the pool, there is a lovely covered patio with a wooden dining table for six guests and a BBQ, perfect for al fresco meals and relaxed evenings with family and friends.
An external staircase leads to the villa’s rooftop terrace, where you will find another table and chairs. From here, guests can enjoy stunning panoramic views of the village and the sea, making it the perfect spot for sunset drinks or morning coffee.
As the villa is located within the historic part of the village, parking is available in the village square next to the church. From there, a pleasant 150-meter walk through the picturesque village alleys leads you to Anna’s Villa, allowing you to fully experience the authentic atmosphere of traditional Crete.
Anna’s Villa is ideal for travelers seeking authentic character, peaceful surroundings, and a truly local village experience, while still enjoying the comfort of a private pool and spacious outdoor living.

Mesi, is a small village of the prefecture of Rethymno located approximately 12 km southeast of the city of Rethymno, between the villages of Agia Triada Village and Kyrianna Village.
Mesi Village is one of the typical villages with many Venetian buildings, where the houses are built close to each other with beautiful courtyards. In recent years it has become quite deserted compared to the past, but still maintains its traditionalism and the solid character.
Anna' Villa is just 3 km from the closest village of Pigi where you can find super markets, cafe, bakery and more. This peaceful place is only 7 km from the beach of Adelianos Kampos and 12.5 km from city of Rethymno. Arkadi Monastery, the place where Cretans sacrificed against Turcks back in 1866 by blowing the gun powder keg to avoid captivity, is only 15 km away from the complex. Within a 40-50 minutes’ drive you will also find Drimos gorge with a unique natural heritage. In the gorge hidden in the rocks is the little church of Agios Antonios (Saint Antonios) which is built literally in them.Close to the house there are taverns with traditional Greek food, super market, pharmacy, etc.
You should definitely walk in the streets of the old town of Rethymno, where the old houses with the venetian doors and the minarets will take you on a journey through time. A plethora of restaurants, cafes and shops are waiting for you to explore them. At the edge of the old town you can visit Fortezza Castle, where you can enjoy the spectacular view. A stop to the Archeological museum and the Folklore Museum of Rethymno will complete your visit.
