Perched above Bali Bay with the Cretan Sea stretching out below, these two connected villas make the most of their elevated setting. A shared infinity pool, pergola with a fire pit, and outdoor kitchen bar make them well suited to larger groups, with plenty of space to spread out and come together for sunset drinks or dinner. Bali Beach, the harbor, and the village's cafés and beach bars are around a ten-minute walk away, offering easy access to one of Crete's most relaxed seaside spots.

Home truths
The two villas sit side by side and connect through a sliding partition door, so groups who want to share the full outdoor space can do so easily. If you're booking just one villa, it's worth knowing your neighbours will likely be other guests using the other half of the complex.
Your host operates several homes here, so the exact view, layout and furnishings might differ slightly from the photos. However, the overall quality should remain the same.
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 cots and a high chair. Request them in advance to make sure everything is set up before you arrive.
Well-behaved pets are welcome to accompany you during your stay.
Due to this home's location, we recommend hiring a car to get the most out of your stay.
