A 35-kilometre drive along the coast from Chania, this villa sits in a quiet part of the island. The traditional village of Gavalohori is a fifteen-minute stroll away, and Almerida is ten minutes by car if you fancy a beach day. For lazy days at home, there's a pool with massage jets ideal for relaxing. Shaded lounges and an alfresco dining area make outdoor living a breeze, while big glass doors open the lounge and kitchen to the poolside terrace. There’s even an office room for those working remotely – no wonder this home ticks all our boxes.
