If you’re seeking an idyllic, upscale, tranquil getaway in Crete with all the bells and whistles, this Villa is a dream come true. We can’t wait to return. Five stars, without hesitation. Because the villa is so private, having a car is almost essential to make the most of surrounding beaches and towns. But if you enjoy driving through scenic roads, this is a bonus, not a drawback.

The views are unreal!

We came as three couples and this villa was ideal - every bedroom had its own bathroom, so we all had privacy. The shared spaces were perfect for late-night dinners and drinks by the pool. The views are unreal!
