Built by a self-confessed star obsessive, this Crete villa is a great spot for stargazing. It's right on the coast, so clear night skies are pretty much a given. You'll definitely want to spend most of your time outside here, though the home being spread between the main villa and a separate studio means you won't feel crowded inside. We love that you're just a few minutes walk to restaurants, cafes, and shops nearby Koutsouras, and three minutes from a pebble beach.

Home truths:
*The pool is closed from 1st December to 31st March
*This home is spread between two units on the ground floor of a villa – there's one four-bedroom unit and a studio
*At full occupancy, two guests will be sleeping on the mezzanine level of the studio – this is only suitable for those aged 6 or over and isn't the most private
*Bedroom two is set up with a double bed and a single sofa bed
*The owner lives on the top floor of the villa and has a private entrance
*Some of the outdoor areas may be shared – check with your host when you book
*Your host can provide bicycles free of charge
