Did someone say sea views? Perched on a hill above Chania, this sleek three-bedroom villa offers a stylish retreat with sweeping views of the Cretan Sea. Spread across three floors, the home features a contemporary living area with a fireplace, a fully equipped kitchen, and balconies off each bedroom to take in the vistas. Outside, the private pool and sun-drenched terrace provide the perfect spot for morning coffee or evening drinks as the sun sinks behind the hills.

Home truths

  • The home is part of a two-villa complex, so while your space is private and autonomous, there is a neighbouring property.

  • The home is set across three floors connected by stairs and an elevator.

  • The final 50 metres of road leading to the villa are steep and narrow. Confident driving is recommended, though you can park on the main road and walk down if preferred.

  • If you're travelling with little ones, your host can provide a cot and high chair for free. You'll need to request them in advance.
