Perched overlooking Crete's calming coastline, from here, you'll be positioned just a seven-minute drive away from Kounoupidiana. However, best of all is the glistening sea views that stretch out as far as the eye can see. Whether you're inside the villa relaxing in the living area, cooking up some local Greek delicacies in the kitchen, out on the balcony or lounging by the pool – enjoy the natural beauty that surrounds you. Individually designed and redecorated each season, the concept of design is fundamental here, so feel assured that the interiors will present the space in the most comfortable and admirable style that adapts with the seasons. Since the sun shines pretty much all year round in Crete, you'll no doubt spend much of your time in the garden by the pool. With an outdoor shower, outside dining area and plenty of lounge seating from which to master the art of relaxation – you'll be spoilt for choice when it comes to choosing a spot to settle down. Located only 250 metres from Maherida Beach and 1.1 kilometres away from Tersanas Beach, explore the Cretan coastline with ease. And since the centre of Chania is just 12 kilometres away, you won't be far away from the capital's iconic Venetian harbour brimming with shops, restaurants, bazaars and clubs. Making this spot an idyllic choice for those who want to combine sun, beach and cultural excursions into one luxurious stay by the sea.
