This stone villa is an excellent choice for a getaway on the Cretan coast. It's just a ten-minute drive from Agios Nikolaos, a picturesque port town with a variety of bars, restaurants, and local shops to discover. As if that weren't enough, the mountain views back home are gorgeous, especially from the private pool with a built-in Jacuzzi. There's even an outdoor kitchen so you can enjoy all your meals alfresco. Inside, the design is all about exposed stone and timber ceilings, with one bedroom situated in a mezzanine above the living area. Factor in the smart home features, the 3-acre garden, and weekly housekeeping, and it's no wonder it caught our eye.

Home truths
The fourth bedroom is on the mezzanine level and semi-open to the living area below, so privacy is limited. We think it would work best for children.
Some of the double beds may be made up of two single mattresses pushed together.
Weekly linen changes and housekeeping are included with your stay.
Given the remote location, we suggest hiring a car for ease. There's private parking available here.
Two bedrooms have small desks, so you can catch up on work during your stay.
