Overlooking panoramic views of the Mediterranean seascape out across Souda Bay, this home in Kokkino Chorio is sure to have you mesmerised from the moment you arrive.

Step outside and onto the wrap-around terrace separated with different living and entertainment areas. Whether you prefer to take in the views from the jacuzzi hot tubs, recliner sun loungers, sparkling infinity pool or from the alfresco dining area – prepare to be in awe of the natural beauty that surrounds you.

Inside, you'll find interiors that nod to minimalism with earthy tones injecting a touch of bohemian style to the dreamy designs. The living room, in particular, presents a space that makes relaxing here oh so easy – as there's even a cosy log burner fireplace to make the most of should you stay during the cooler months.

Feel like you're staying at a luxury five-star hotel resort, with finishing touches including organic bath products, bathrobes and luxury linens. Not to mention the intensive array of gadgets available to keep the kids entertained for example – as you'll have free access to the home's iPad mini (with preloaded helpful information), a PlayStation 3 and Apple TV so that you can stream your favourite series come evening time.

Immerse yourselves in the local culture of Kokkino Chorio, known as the "red village", where you'll find the Crete island lifestyle and Greek food in abundance. Positioned just a five-minute drive away from the village's glass blowing factory, why not learn something new here? Plus, you'll be able to pick up some hand-made souvenirs to take home with you in the process.
