Overlooking the bay of Chania, the views from this home are pretty impressive. And while it's tucked away in the hills of Kokkino Chorio, you'll find it's just 1.5 kilometres from the nearest beach – making this a great setting for a coastal escape. You will have neighbours here, but the terrace and swimming pool provide a wonderful sense of privacy – making it easy to switch off and soak up the idyllic scenery. You’ll also find an outdoor kitchen, barbecue and plenty of chill-out areas. And should you feel inclined to leave the cooking to the professionals – your host can arrange for a private chef to do it all for you.
