There’s no doubt this countryside villa oozes Cretan charm with its natural stone façade and panoramic Aegean views. Located within twelve minutes drive of the archaeological tholos tombs and Minoan cemetery as well as to Pahia Ammos beach, this home provides access to the island’s significant cultural sites and enticing coastal delights. There’s perfect harmony between the outside and inside here - combining authentic Cretan character and soft comforts - you’ll feel instantly at home. Mornings call for fresh juice on the upstairs terrace while taking in the vistas across the sparkling Aegean. The quaint living space features original accents and charming furnishings. Outside, the Mediterannean sun will invite you to lounge out on sunbeds for a soft bronzing session or dive into the pristine pool – there’s a children’s pool here too, so everyone’s needs are catered for. When the sun is at its peak, retreat under the shade for lunch accompanied by a refreshing breeze and a crisp glass of Peza wine. Set aside a day to explore the local highlights - the powdery sands of Pahia Ammos are a twelve-minute drive or, if you’re seeking cultural exploration, make the eleven-minute drive to the Archaeological Site of Agia Triada.

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...
