This strikingly beautiful home is a luxurious Crete hideaway, surrounded by olive trees and manicured lawns. Outdoors, you can allow your troubles to melt away as you relax on the floating island sun beds. Grab your sunscreen and a good book to enjoy an afternoon soaking up the sunshine. If you aren’t sure what’s tickling your tastebuds for dinner, take some inspiration from the herb garden, vegetable patch and fruit trees, all waiting to help you create a delicious meal. When you are ready to rest your eyes, enjoy the serene feel of the bedroom decor. Neutral colours, golden accents and cosy bed runners ensure you can enjoy a restful night's sleep.

In the morning, freshen up in your walk-in rainfall shower wrapped in marble tiles. Before your family wakes, you may even fancy enjoying your morning coffee tucked in your private balcony swing chair – just the spot to watch the sunrise. It’s all about the outside space for us here, so if you fancy a quiet day at home, the children's pool is attached to your private swimming pool, so you can rest easy knowing they are entertained. Relax on your sun lounger and watch on as they enjoy the cool water, their happy laughter the only sound punctuating the silence. As the sun begins to set on your day in paradise, look up at the blanket of stars above and enjoy the complete sense of peace this beautiful home affords.
