This achingly beautiful villa made from natural materials promises an endlessly relaxing stay in one of Crete's best-kept secrets. Located in the pretty fishing village of Elounda, you're a short 2-km drive from the sandy shores and charming town, and yet completely removed from the holiday crowds. We particularly love the private infinity pool overlooking the Aegean Sea, complete with sun lounge chairs and a veranda terrace. We can think of nothing better than balmy summer evenings spent out here with friends and family, tucking into a mezze platter of tzatziki, eggplant and feta. Made up of the island's natural stone, Kaliopi, the villa offers heaps of character and traditional style. Inside, it's a calm and comfortable pad with dark and earthy tones, modern furnishings and gorgeous views to have you feeling instantly at ease from the moment you wake up. There's even a home cinema set up and a working fireplace for the odd cosy evening in.
