The sweeping coastal views from this newly-built villa may be heaven-sent, but it’s the lengthy pool and stylish sun terraces which are getting us hot under the collar. An excellent choice for two couples sharing, each bedroom has direct access to the wraparound panoramic balcony and an en-suite shower room to kickstart your day. Location-wise, the centre of Elounda and its wide sandy beach and seafront restaurants are just a two-kilometre stroll downhill –⁠ and you can always hop in a taxi on your way back home later.

Home truths:
*There is ample private parking outside the villa
*You’ll have your own private entrance
*This home is set out over two levels with internal stairs, which may be unsuitable for guests with restricted mobility
*While the second en-suite shower room isn’t photographed, we expect the style and quality to be consistent with the rest of the home
*A cot and high chair are provided for little ones on request
