With its own private garden bar area, this place has an air of the local tavernas about it. Think dark wooden accents on a background of old stone and picturesque mountain views – from here you'll gain a true taste of Crete in no time. Built in a private olive grove just 500 metres away from the quaint fishing village of Sisi, you'll also be perfectly positioned for discovering the local beaches as the closest – Milatos Beach is only a five-minute drive away. Spend your days whiling away by the grand swimming pool on one of the day beds. Take regular drinks breaks from the sunshine at the covered bar and alfresco dining area – there's no better spot to enjoy barbecue lunches than here. There's also an outdoor lounge area, which makes a perfect spot from which to delve into your holiday reads. Inside an open plan, the main living area presents minimal designs and plenty of space to kick back and cool off amidst the refreshing air conditioning. Take in the mountainous views from out on the balcony. With such an abundance of Mediterranean flora and fauna surrounding, this home's serene location invites guests to unplug, relax...

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.
