Villa Svega - Timeless Venetian Charm by etouri | Villa in Rethymno
3 Bedroom Villa in Atsipópoulon, Rethymno
Villa Svega is approved by Greek Tourism Organisation & managed by "etouri vacation rental management".
Situated in the small hillside hamlet of Gallou, Villa Svega retains its Venetian charm and offers a harmonious blend of historical character and comfort. The villa is located on the outskirts, yet it is only a few minutes drive from the town of Rethymno, providing convenience.
The villa has been part of the owners family property for the past 100 years and is believed to date back to the latter half of the Venetian era. The estate covers 2,500 sq. m and includes a late 19th-century neoclassical house, two attached Venetian vaults, and a building that was formerly an oil mill, adjoining the western vault. The restoration honors the villas historic soul through the use of traditional materials and meticulous craftsmanship. Interiors reveal mellowed stone walls, solid wood fittings, beamed ceilings, and a palette of soft, natural hues. The space is further elevated by a refined collection of paintings by Greek artists, both oil and watercolor, alongside thoughtfully selected artifacts, creating an atmosphere of quiet sophistication.
The west vault and the historic oil mill have been transformed into a two-story residence of 140 sq. m., accommodating up to six guests in three bedrooms. Designed for year-round comfort, Villa Svega features underfloor heating and a striking stone fireplace (both available at an extra charge), making it equally inviting during the winter months.
Eco Awareness
The Mylonakis family, who have managed Villa Svega for 22 years, has implemented sustainable practices to minimize the villas environmental impact. A solar panel system fulfills all electricity requirements, rainwater reservoirs nourish the gardens, and an on-site composting facility supports the estates natural landscape.
A 10 kW photovoltaic system provides the villa with 100% of its electricity, independent of external sources. The garden irrigation system is designed for maximum efficiency, with watering limited to 20 minutes per session. Guests are kindly asked to rinse off before using the pool and to minimize the use of sunscreens or tanning oils, which can affect water quality and require additional chemical treatment.
In recognition of its commitment, Villa Svega was awarded the 2025 ZERO WASTE HORECA Silver Award.
