Ocean Ripple

Holiday Rental Description

Directly above Mades Beach, this contemporary villa benefits from sleek modern amenities and an unbeatable location. The postmodern undulating balcony emulates the movement of the waves below, reflected in the gentle curve of the pool. Large sliding doors give the rooms unparalleled views, while the sultry living room is the perfect place to relax with a cocktail on cool evenings.

In the summer months you’ll want to spend most of your time outside. Start the day by stepping out onto the balcony to admire the breathtaking view of the Aegean, before heading down to the pool for a pre-breakfast dip. Or take advantage of direct access to the beach, and make a swim in the ocean the first thing you do.

Head up to the village of Mades for a bite to eat in one of the local tavernas, or pick up some groceries at the mini market and enjoy an alfresco lunch on your terrace. Heraklion can be reached in twenty-five minutes by car, the culture-soaked city that is home to the Palace of Knossos, and breathtaking Venetian architecture, including the Koules Fortress out at sea.
