Stretching around the house itself is a pergola that offers a shady respite from the sunshine, as well as spots for lounging, barbecuing and dining alfresco. As if that wasn't enough, there's also a Jacuzzi on the rooftop which offers a lovely panorama as you sink into the bubbles. With an exterior this incredible, some architects might be tempted to phone it in when it comes to designing the interior, but credit must go to the brains behind this project as the inside living space is a thing of beauty, too. As well as a predominance of natural materials and colours, plus huge windows and doors to maximise upon the fortuitous amounts of natural light enjoyed in these parts, certain Cretan traditions have been incorporated into the design, as seen with the patterns used and the lace covers on the beds and sofa.

It’s mainly locals you’ll see wandering the narrow streets here, but that’s not to say that this place is totally untouched by tourism.
