Before you even set your bags down at this home, you’re met with a paint pallet of beauty. From the green gardens, pink wash exterior and crystal blue water – paradise does exist. The lower terrace is home to your private pool, surrounded by comfortable sun loungers. Spend the afternoon with your feet up, soaking in the Crete sunshine. Our favourite spot is slightly elevated – an undercover barbecue area, wood oven and beautifully dressed table for an evening dining alfresco. Gather your loved ones and uncork a bottle of wine for a memorable evening as the sun sets.

Venturing inside, you’ll feel a sense of tranquillity wash over you. The most beautiful cream rustic stone is the backdrop to all the interiors, wonderfully calming and luxurious. Your windows are dressed with delicate drapes, allowing the morning sun to peek in after a restful night's sleep. Pour yourself a hot cuppa and enjoy a little quiet time on the chaise sofa before the rest of your family stir.

Whilst rural, you’re located in the centre of Crete, perfectly placed to explore the natural beauty of the inland and the picturesque coastline. Spend your afternoons enjoying a traditional local tavern or sinking your toes into the sandy beaches of Myrthios.
