Few villas frame Spinalonga island quite like this one – the Venetian fortress sits on the horizon from the infinity pool, the terrace, and every room inside. Perched on a hillside above Plaka village, the stone villa has a raw, sun-bleached character that feels rooted in Crete rather than imported from a catalogue. A secluded pebble cove is just steps away, and the waterfront tavernas of a nearby harbour village are minutes from the door. Host George rounds things off with local recommendations and welcome treats that make arrival feel genuinely effortless.

Home truths
You'll need a car to get around comfortably. The drive to the village, beach, and local restaurants is short, but the driveway is steep – worth factoring in when choosing your hire car.
At full occupancy, two guests will sleep on the sofa bed in the living area.
The twin beds in the second bedroom can be pushed together to make a double – let your host know in advance if you'd prefer that configuration.
The second bedroom is on the mezzanine level and semi-open to the space below, so privacy is limited.
If you're travelling with little ones, your host can provide a cot and high chair. It's worth requesting these before you arrive to make sure everything is ready on arrival.
For those with reduced mobility, there's a ground floor bedroom and bathroom here.

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...
