Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
We can’t imagine there’s much on your holiday wishlist that this contemporary villa doesn’t tick off. Fancy glistening sea views and access to a private beach? This home has you covered. How about a private gym and water sports equipment to get out on the deep blue sea? You’ll find that here, too. Sun seekers can also enjoy the generous terraces and private pool, hanging over the sea below. The basement bedroom even boasts a private kitchen, affording two guests extra privacy – which makes up for the lack of natural light, we think, and all adds to an unforgettable stay.

Home truths
While not all bedrooms and bathrooms are photographed, we expect the style and quality to be consistent with the rest of the home.
The fifth bedroom is in the basement, so lacks natural light. However, this room does include an en-suite and private kitchen, so it's a great choice for those seeking extra privacy.
If you're travelling with little ones, your host can provide a cot and high chair for free. You'll need to request them in advance.
The swimming pool isn't fenced. If you're bringing children, they'll need to be supervised at all times.
This home offers access to a private beach and includes a gym, water sports equipment, a home office, and a welcome basket.
Small pets may be welcome to join you on request.

About Crete
The biggest of Greece’s islands, Crete has thousands of years of history scattered across its wild hinterland, and a coast dotted with secluded bays. The capital of Heraklion is a lively port city with a world-class museum, but the main draw to the island are the crumbling ruins, white mountains, and crystal clear waters for swimming and snorkeling. Evidence of the ancient Minoans that once lived here is on display...

Host
This home is managed by Oliver

Nearly twenty years ago, Oliver and his friend began curating the world's most unique and rustic getaways.
