Stone Village

Top choice in Rethymno Province


In the quiet hills above Bali, the traditional rooms here feel like your own small Cretan house. The village features 38 carefully crafted apartments with terraces or balconies, kitchens and fireplaces, set amid flowering trees and potted plants. It’s a 10-minute walk to the beach and close to the Bali Express tourist train stop.

Three pools, a petting zoo (including free horse rides), a sauna and seasonal hands-on activities, such as cheesemaking, provide distractions. There’s a good restaurant using organic ingredients from its farm, and very friendly service.
