Incredible panoramic mountain views await at this secluded villa just 7 kilometres from the resort town of Agios Nikolaos. Surrounded by trees and built out of stone, it’s perfectly at one with the breathtaking nature framing it on all sides. The outdoors is truly magical with its infinity pool with a built-in Jacuzzi, loungers and open-air day bed, as well as an alfresco kitchen and ample seating to soak in the wide-sweeping vistas. Except for a mezzanine bedroom, the villa is otherwise laid out on a single level with carefully curated bedrooms incorporating stone and wood into their decor, and a pair of sleek bathrooms – one of which has an ever-so-tempting tub.

Home truths

    While this home is mainly laid out on a single level, there are stairs leading up to the mezzanine loft bedroom

    Please note that the mezzanine bedroom is open to the downstairs living area, so it doesn't have as much privacy

    A cot and a high chair are available on request

    There are multiple desks here should you need to catch up on work

    It has Smart home features to control lights, air conditioning, the alarm, entrance gate, etc

    The pool is not fenced and there's a steep drop to one side, so children should be minded at all times when outside

    The home's entrance is private

    Given the home's secluded location, we recommend having a car here – on-site parking is available
