Tucked away on the peaceful coast of Elounda, this sublime villa makes for a smart and stylish home from home on happy holidays to stunning Crete. The star of the show is the outdoor pool deck – here, you can gaze out at blissfully blue ocean views while you take a dip in your own private pool. Tiki umbrellas and sun loungers all add to the little alfresco oasis. Inside, the home is a little dated in its decor, but offers plenty of room for each guest to stretch out and relax – and there are floor-to-ceiling windows here that let you make the most of those sea views.
