This villa, found a ten-minute walk from Sisi village, is made for families wanting to explore the Greek island of Crete. With the beach only 800 metres away, sun-worshippers and hydrophiles will be satisfied. And that's before discovering the private swimming pool in the garden. The rest of the outdoor space is ideal for balmy summer evenings barbecuing and dining alfresco. There's also an outside bar for sunset drinks. Though this characterful home makes an impression, it's the rolling landscape surrounding it that drew our eye here. Well-located, picturesque and with housekeeping – you can see why we'd want to stay.
