Prepare for next-level sea views from the mountain perch of this newly-built, state-of-the-art Cretan villa fringing the traditional village of Rodia. Outside, a spa infinity pool with against-current swim function, steam room, fitness suite and a sunken firepit area for stargazing ramp up the luxury. While inside, wheelchair-friendly bedrooms, bathrooms, and lift access make this home as practical as it is stylish. Location-wise, you’re just a flip-flop from Rodia’s tavernas and a short downhill drive to the sandy shores of Ammoudara for beach days.
