Whether you’re staying as a family or a group of friends, this villa leaves nothing to be desired. Outside, it’s all about savouring the uninterrupted views of the Sea of Crete – choose from a poolside lounger or the balcony with your morning coffee. Inside it’s equally impressive, with an entertainment den and a wellness room with a jetted spa pool for some serious pampering, no matter the time of year. And to truly top it off, Mononaftis Beach is just a short walk from the doorstep. If you can peel yourself away, we recommend taking a day trip to Heraklion, the island’s bustling capital – it’ll take around thirty-five minutes by car.

Local guide


About Crete

The biggest of Greece’s islands, Crete has thousands of years of history scattered across its wild hinterland, and a coast dotted with secluded bays. The capital of Heraklion is a lively port city with a world-class museum, but the main draw to the island are the crumbling ruins, white mountains, and crystal clear waters for swimming and snorkeling. Evidence of the ancient Minoans that once lived here is on display...
