From the private infinity pool to the open-plan living area, this villa puts its showstopping Aegean vistas front and centre. Inside, floor-to-ceiling windows flood each room with natural light and show off the scenery. Even the bedrooms have a glimpse of the blue horizon. Of course, the terrace is the best spot to take advantage of the views, with its array of lounge chairs perfect for sunbathing and a covered terrace ideal for sunset dinners. If you can tear yourself away, the nearest beach is just 700 metres away. You're also not far from Plaka and Almyrida – about a five-minute drive – while Chania makes a good option for a day trip.

Home truths:
*While the kitchen, third bedroom, and two bathrooms aren't photographed, we expect the quality and style to be consistent with the rest of the home.
*Children may be allowed on request, and a cot may be available for little ones. Please ask your host for more information.
*As with most homes in Greece, toilet paper can't be flushed. Please use the sanitary bin provided.
*You won't find a welcome hamper or basic essentials here, so we'd recommend packing some bits and bobs to get you started. There's a supermarket nearby.
