Sun, sea and an array of home luxuries allow this gorgeous villa in the village of Gratalas to stand strong as a dreamy Cretan delight. With breathtaking vistas over the sea and surrounding mountains, you'll have an abundance of natural beauty at your fingertips, all while getting to make the most of a whole host of modern home luxuries available at the villa. It's not every day you find a PlayStation 4 (with two controllers), a gym and games room and a mini-computer screen (for remote working) that comes included with a rental home. Guests will also have free access to the host's Spotify account, which you can play out through the home's Bluetooth speakers. Beyond the contemporary technology, you'll find sleek designs that create a comfortable space throughout. However, you'll most probably want to spend most of your time outside soaking up the sun. Lounge by the swimming pool with a refreshing drink in hand on days when you don't feel like getting sand stuck between your toes on the beach. Come evening time, there's no better spot in the house than on the balcony terraces, overlooking to sparkling seascape over the horizon. We recommend getting up early to... take in the sunrise from here too. Built in 961 A.D, Gralatas is the oldest village in all of Greece, so despite the home's modern features, you'll find plenty of Cretan history and culture to immerse yourselves in when staying here. Kalamaki beach is also within walking distance, located just 1 km away and the local shops, supermarkets and tavernas are reachable within a five-minute walk.
