Prepare to do some serious sun worshipping, stargazing and swooning from the one-of-a-kind ocean deck and infinity pool of this oh-so-slick villa. Jutting right out above the glistening Loutraki Bay, it’s a sensational setting. And don’t even get us started on the sunsets – seeing is believing, folks. Pad barefoot across the wooden promenade to your sun-kissed panoramic veranda for lazy breakfasts of flaky bougatsas and freshly brewed coffees. Then the rest of the day is yours, hopping between the suntrap terraces and pool as the fishing boats and mega-yachts cruise on by. When it’s time to escape the heat of the day indoors, the free-flowing and light-filled living area is a joy. Spill out onto the modular sofa with a good book, or simply lose yourself to the knockout sea vistas seen through the floor-to-ceiling picture windows. Or, for a change of pace, the games room with ping-pong, table football and games console will be a hit. Nestled amidst five acres of private lands brimming with century-old olive groves, this villa offers peace and seclusion in equal measure. But if you fancy a change of scene, your nearest beach with white sands and seafront taverna for Cretan plates and chilled glasses of Retsina is a mere five-minute flip-flop away. Now, how’s that for a location?

Home truths

    You’ll have your own private entrance

    This home is set out over three levels with stairs which may be unsuitable for guests with restricted mobility, but there’s a ground-floor bedroom and bathroom

    Bedrooms are spaced out across the two floors giving guests a little extra privacy

    A couple of the bedrooms are ever so slightly on the small side, but with those knockout outside spaces, we don't think you'll mind

    While not all the bedrooms and bathrooms are photographed, we expect the style and quality to be consistent with the rest of the home

    There's a laptop-friendly space for remote working at this home
