Villa - Sell - Arkadi, Agia Paraskeui

Welcome to one of our most historic executive listings! This historic villa was built in the mid-16th Century by Venetian rulers and is located in the Maroulas area of the municipality of Rethymnon. It was occupied a century later by the Effendi (lord) Ali Vafi and his extensive staff. This abode was part of a greater complex of neighboring properties owned by the infamous Lord.

Fully renovated in 2022, with great personal care by the owner to preserve all historic details, this structurally sound and aesthetically pleasing villa is 143 sq.m. large and includes a 130 sq.m. walled-in yard.
