This architecturally unique villa in Chania is all about that view. Overlooking Kissamos bay and the Cretan sea beyond, the vistas are on full display from the private swimming pool and the balcony. Though the colour scheme might not be to everyone's taste, the location is ideal, and the outdoor kitchen provides the perfect opportunity for alfresco meals. The private gym and sauna are an added bonus, but if you'd rather spend your days basking in the sun at the beach, Ravdoucha is a short drive away.

Home truths:
*At full occupancy, two guests will be sleeping on the sofa bed in the living area
*This home is spread over two floors, with no internal lift, but there’s a ground-floor bedroom and bathroom here for those with reduced mobility
*We suggest hiring a car for ease – there's parking space for up to two cars here
*The swimming pool isn't fenced, so children will need to be supervised at all times
*Your host can provide a cot and high chair for free upon request
