This two-storey villa overlooking the Aegean Sea is a comfortable retreat for a group get-together. Inside, two of the four stylish bedrooms offer sea views via private balconies. The kitchen has everything you need for cooking up Greek dishes, but if you’d prefer a night off, your host can arrange a cook for you. Stepping outside, you’ll find a large pool and multiple seating spots to read your book, tuck into an alfresco meal or share a glass of Vidiano. Should you fancy a change of scenery, the nearby port of Hersonissos is a lively spot for a waterfront meal, or make the drive to Heraklion to soak up the city’s cultural heritage.

This home is managed by Oliver
This home is managed directly by a business. A member of their staff will be your point of contact before and during your stay. Nearly twenty years ago, Oliver and his friend began curating the world's most unique and rustic getaways. Driven by their own unforgettable experience at a chateau, they have grown remarkably since then. Much like Plum, they believe in hand-picked luxury that doesn't break the bank.
