This beautiful villa is nestled in a private olive grove. It’s an enchanting holiday home in Lasithi, just a ten-minute walk from the pretty fishing village of Sisi. The nearest beach is just 800 metres away, but the villa feels a million miles from the crowds – the mountain views add to the serenity. We love the pool bar, where you can mix up cocktails ahead of sunset, but the private pool is the star of the show – the views from the water are stunning. Inside, you’ll find everything you might need for a sunny break – this home ticks a lot of boxes.
