Buried in lush greenery with views of Almyrida Bay, this pink-painted pad ticks all of our boxes. We’ll begin with the outside space, where a shaded terrace with a dining set-up calls for moments spent all together, passing around dishes of Cretan cuisine and sharing bottles of traditional tsikoudia. Then there’s the glittering pool, the antidote to long, hot afternoons. Swim unhurried laps or just float about in the cool water. After a raucous game of table tennis, doze off in the hammock for a while before treating yourself to a long soak in the hot tub on the roof terrace. Better still, indulge in a serious pamper session in the private sauna. Inside, it’s understated and comfortable, with a touch of drama courtesy of the double-height ceilings and eye-catching artwork. Sumptuous beds guarantee a peaceful night’s sleep, while the on-site gym ensures invigorating mornings. If exploring is on the agenda, jump in the car to Koutalas beach to snorkel in the crystal clear shallows. For the divers among you, Elephant Cave is unmissable. And when the day draws to a close, head to Chania for some of the best seafood on the island.
