If you long for the grandeur of an old English country estate with the sunshine of Greece, this is the property for you. Add in the history and natural beauty of Crete, and you’ll see why we think this is a very special home indeed. This home is surrounded by lush, green gardens that look out over the countryside and to the sea. In almost every corner of these magnificent tree-filled gardens, there’s a quiet corner for you to sit in with a book, or a table for you to dine at while taking in the views. A veranda covers a particularly attractive dining table, which is the perfect setting for an evening of meze and wine – why not hire a private chef so you can spend your time with your friends and family? If you have little ones in tow, they’re bound to be delighted by the playground hidden away in the grounds. They can spend hours climbing, swinging and jumping, or playing house in not one, but two playhouses before joining you by the pool. We recommend getting your laps in early in the morning, so you can really appreciate the tranquillity of the setting. The peace and...Read more quiet of this home doesn’t mean that you’re tucked away in the sticks though – the beach is just a five-minute walk away, and there’s a waterpark just down the road. Grown-ups can enjoy a round of golf 3km away, and still be home in time to tuck in the kids and settle down to a night of stargazing. Read less
