### Villa Rafaella Crete

With the sandy Sfakaki beach just a short walk away, Villa Rafaella is set in paradise surrounded by sun, sea, and sand. From the poolside, admire the view where the clouds meet the mountains.   
 Surrounded by green shrubs and tropical flora, the private swimming pool takes centre stage among the landscaped garden. As you cool off in the inviting water, relax on the sun lounger, or seek shade under the palm trees. Under the shaded terrace, you can enjoy a morning brew, a mid-day snack and a family feast fired up on the barbeque in the alfresco dining area.   
 Offering its guests four air-conditioned bedrooms and two bathrooms, this villa comfortably accommodates up to eight guests. A modern, fully equipped kitchen has everything families and friends may need during a self-catering holiday. The living room seamlessly takes you from day to night with large patio doors that let the natural light flood through, Wi-Fi, satellite TV and cosy sofas. The large dining table is great for bringing the family together after a day spent under the hot sun.   
 Nearby, there are plenty of restaurants, cafes, and fish tavernas to be found by the sea. A little further out, there are many top island attractions to explore.   
  
 Mobility statement - To access the villa there is a path which is 200cm wide alongside 4 steps. The front door has a width of 90cm, whilst the door to the terrace is 200cm wide. The path to the poolside is 100cm wide, whilst there are 5 steps from the main house to the pool area. The terrace is a mixture of crazy paving, tiles and grass.
