Flow from luxury to the serenity of the Aegean Sea with this beautiful home, nestled in the hillside on the north coast of Crete. The outdoor space here is truly divine, with the most breathtaking views afforded from most places in this home, including, of course, your private infinity pool. After enjoying a peaceful swim, as the sun goes down, wrap yourself in a fluffy white towel and snuggle into your outdoor terrace for sundowners with loved ones. With the sky ablaze with shades of amber and fuschia, fire up your wood oven and enjoy dinner alfresco for something really special. If the breeze off the sea becomes a little too cool for your liking, close your floor-to-ceiling doors in your open-plan living space and grab a bottle of wine from the cellar to continue the relaxation indoors – you’ll still have the magical sea vistas for company. We love how the villa so elegantly brings nature indoors, utilising wood made from olive trees and marble floors and walls throughout. As the evening stretches on, head to your bedroom, all five of which ooze the same luxurious touches – balconies with panoramic views, comfortable beds and stylish contemporary interiors. This home is a little piece of paradise – one you may find you never want to leave.

Local guide
About Heraklion Town
Affectionately dubbed ‘small Athens’, Heraklion is Crete’s largest and most populated city. What started out as a fortified harbour town has grown into a bona fide tourist hotspot, popular for its year-round warm weather and palm-tree-lined seaside promenade. You only have to glance at a photo of its glistening port to understand why this place attracts so many visitors each year, but Heraklion has much more to offer than just...
