Nobody misses out on the coastal views at this stunning villa – every bedroom faces the sea, and direct access to either a terrace or balcony means the sunseeking can start as early as you like (the top-floor jacuzzi and sun roof is the place to be). Elsewhere, the bright interiors favour an unfussy style, knowing you're likely to spend your days outdoors, whether hanging out by the pool or dining under the pergola. Kokkino Chorino is a quaint Cretan village with a taverna and supermarket, so amenities are at hand for lazy days at home – but there are numerous hidden beaches within driving distance that will tempt you outside.
