Aromatic Ode Akrotiri, Crete

Property Description

There's nothing better than a sea view, and this villa does not disappoint. Overlooking the Bay of Marathi and the White Mountains, our favourite spot to admire the scenery is the private pool – although the balconies and covered terrace are close seconds. Alongside the fantastic panoramas, you'll definitely appreciate all the contemporary comforts here – be it the wine fridge in the kitchen, PS4 in the living area or treadmill and gym equipment in the basement. There's even a desk on the first-floor landing if you need to work from home. Location-wise, you'll find restaurants, shops and historic charm aplenty in Chania – about 20 kilometres away – while Crete's famous beaches are also within easy reach.

Home truths:
*Although this villa is set over multiple levels, there's a ground-floor bedroom here that's ideal for guests with limited mobility
*While not all the bathrooms are photographed, we expect the quality to be consistent with the rest of the home
*One of the shower rooms is in the basement, while the WC is situated in the barbecue area near the pool
*If you're travelling with little ones, your host can provide a free travel cot and high chair on request
*There's a desk here if you need to catch up on work during your stay
*The pool isn't fenced, so children will need to be supervised at all times
*We highly suggest renting a car in this location – there's free parking on the premises
