Stylish interiors and a quiet location make this one a knock-out Cretan retreat. Fully equipped with a gym space, jacuzzi and generous pool, it also boasts breathtaking sea views through the floor-to-ceiling windows. Foodies will appreciated the sleek outdoor kitchen, with a gas barbecue large enough to grill the catch of the day.

And if you want to visit the town centre or the beach, they're only a comfortable five-minute drive away.

Home truths

    One of the bedrooms and bathrooms on the ground floor has wheelchair access – perfect for older family members or those with reduced mobility

    The villa is on a hilltop overlooking the coastline – it’s therefore easier getting down to the beach, shops and restaurants than it is getting back, and for this reason a car is recommended
