Villa Tamarisk Fournados, Crete

Property Description

With the views from this villa, you get the best of both worlds – glorious vistas of the Aegean Sea and the countryside. Admire them from the natural stone terrace, balconies or your private infinity pool. The gardens have been sympathetically planted with indigenous shrubs, flowers, and trees complimented by traditional stone walls that blend beautifully into the natural environment. Enjoy some dakos, washed down with some tsikoudia under the shade of the pergola and while away the hours relaxing.

Inside, the living space is split over two floors with large picture windows, framing the beautiful landscape. Gather around the fireplace on chilly evenings or rustle up a feast in the kitchen with its Corian work surfaces. We love the intricate decorative screens here. An impressive free-standing metal staircase leads to the master bedroom on the first floor, which has uninterrupted views of the sea and a private outdoor seating space. The ground floor bedroom has a separate entrance, so this home is ideal for two couples wanting their own privacy.

When you fancy exploring – one of the most beautiful beaches in Crete, Falasarna Beach, is a seven-minute drive. The town of Kissamos is just over two kilometres away, while shops and restaurants are under a twenty-minute walk from this gorgeous home.
