Perched on a hillside above Plaka, this villa earns its place on the Aegean's most coveted stretch of coastline – the infinity pool alone, glittering after dark with coastal views stretching to the horizon, makes a compelling case. Inside, raw stone walls and warm wicker lighting give the bedrooms real character, while the covered terrace is where you'll want to spend every evening, watching the sun drop behind the hills. Spinalonga Island sits visible across the water, and the village's tavernas, pebble beach, and supermarket are a ten-minute walk downhill.

Home truths
At full occupancy, two guests will sleep on the sofa bed in the living area.
The twin beds in the upper bedroom are set up as a double – let your host know in advance if you'd prefer two single beds.
For those with reduced mobility, there's a ground floor bedroom and bathroom here.
If you're travelling with little ones, your host can provide a cot and high chair. You'll need to request them in advance.
The villa is one of three in a small complex, and parts of the outdoor terrace can be overlooked by the neighbouring villas. It's worth bearing in mind if complete seclusion is a priority.
Due to this home's location, we recommend hiring a car to get the most out of your stay.
