This villa is tucked in the hills of a tiny village in the Chania region of Crete. The view here is spectacular: the snow capped mountains frame the sky on one side, with the ocean stretching out on the other. Built in 1900, the villa is newly renovated to seamlessly blend modern touches with original features. Olive trees and native plant life are dotted through the gardens, which lead down to a spectacular infinity pool. On sunny days there are plenty of places to relax. Head up to the vast terrace to relax with a book and enjoy the view, or settle down on a deck chair by the pool to catch some rays. Come lunch time, fire up the barbecue and enjoy flame grilled delights at the sun-dappled alfresco dining table. Light woods and a natural colour palette characterise the interiors, creating a chic, relaxing space. Sliding glass doors lead out from the main bedroom onto a balcony with unbeatable vistas of the mountains beyond. The supermarket is 4.5 kilometres away, where you can pick up food and drink. Or if you prefer, drive 3 kilometres to the local Cretan taverna for a lively Greek dinner. For a day...

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...
