Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
It might seem unbelievable, but every corner of this sprawling, sun-drenched retreat is entirely yours to enjoy. Parents of little ones will appreciate the flexible connecting bedrooms and playground, while friend groups might spend their time in the spa or outdoor hot tub overlooking the Bay of Souda. As the sun sets, prepare for an outdoor cinema experience on the lawn – or enjoy a friendly competition in the bowling alley. There are solo spaces to unwind too, from hidden terraces to private balconies in the bedrooms. An indulgent escape doesn't get better than this – and with Chania just a short drive away, you can bookend your stay with some local culture.

Due to this home's location, we recommend hiring a car to get the most out of your stay – covered parking is available.
Although this home has a lift, there are stairs across the outdoor areas, so guests with reduced mobility should take care.
