Soak up the sun at this dreamy villa, elevated by its marble pool and gorgeous sea views. You might have to head down to the shops to pick up some essentials like detergent or tea and coffee, but it's less than a ten-minute drive to the supermarket and the charming seaside village of Ligaria. Part of a five-villa complex, Cretan herbs grow in the rock garden here and you'll find plenty of outdoor spaces in the sun and shade, with a private balcony and table tennis upstairs. Each bedroom has glass doors that lead outside, making this home well-suited to alfresco living.
