Rhea Residence
The founder and mastermind behind this hidden sanctuary in Gavolochori Crete, Kirsten Brandt had a dream for years to create the ultimate paradise. She wanted to create a place unlike any other, with a feeling of peace, comfort, silence, and beauty.

Whether you are a family looking to escape the busy everyday life for a few weeks rest, want the perfect place for your next yoga or meditation retreat, plan a large family reunion, chances are Rhea Residence covers your needs and far exceeds your expectations. |
