Modern, bright and utterly romantic, this villa is the definition of a couple's retreat. We love how seamlessly you can transition between the indoor living area and the outdoor patio. Spend your days relaxing by the infinity pool, drinking wine under the pergola and soaking up the views of the mountains, sea and olive groves. Then retreat inside when you need a break from the sunshine, where you can rustle up a meal for two in the glossy (albeit compact) kitchen, unwind with a soak in the bathtub or get cosy in the sumptuous bed. Location-wise, this getaway is nestled in the rural hillside, only a few miles from the coast. Trachilos, Viglia and Paralia Mavros Μolos beaches are just a short drive away, so grab a towel and sprawl out on the sand. Enjoy a date night at one of the beachfront eateries in Kissamos, or for a livelier pace, make the twenty-minute drive to the regional capital of Chania. Between the hiking trails, watersports and historical landmarks all close by, whatever you get up to, you'll be perfectly located for exploring Crete.

Local guide


About Kissamos

Despite its idyllic coastline, Kissamos has remained relatively hidden from the crowds of tourists that descend on Crete each summer. 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. Stroll down to Telonio Beach’s cobbled promenade and you’ll find plenty of seaside tavernas serving hearty Cretan fare, as well as a smattering of bars and clubs...
