Eurydice's Moon

Holiday Rental Description

With a glimmering pool, pretty patio and a roof terrace overlooking the hills, this secluded villa embodies relaxed living. Stretch out on the lounge chairs with a glass of wine and take a breather, basking in the fresh air and peaceful surroundings. Feeling peckish? Throw something tasty on the barbecue and dine alfresco, then jump in the pool for a midnight dip under the stars. We love the interiors here, too – exposed stone, squishy seating and arched doorways create a cosy, rustic atmosphere. The house dates back to the 1890s, so you'll find plenty of character inside and out. Whether you're snoozing in the beds, rustling up breakfast in the kitchen or watching something entertaining on the telly, you'll be able to switch off and unwind with ease.

But when you're in the mood to pick up the pace, you're just a short drive away from picturesque beaches – the closest is Paralia Kalives, about twenty minutes away. Tzitzifes is a small village, so while you won't find heaps on your doorstep, this region is right at the foot of the White Mountains and has excellent hiking trails. Plus, your host can arrange air taxi services, bike rentals, yacht charters and sightseeing tours to make your trip extra special.

Home truths:
*You’ll definitely want a car here since beaches, eateries and attractions aren’t really within walking distance – private parking is available
*There’s a desk in the bedroom or you can work remotely at the dining table
*The nearest airport is Chania, about 40 km away
