Do you have a question about this home or the local area?

Whether you're taking a dip in the private pool, soaking up the ocean views from the balcony or snuggling up for a movie night in the media room, this modern villa promises a bit of rest, a little relaxation and a whole lot of amenities. Everything you'll need is taken care of – there are soft linens and hypoallergenic pillows on every bed, fluffy robes and slippers in each bathroom and a hamper filled with essentials (including wine from local vineyards) waiting for you on arrival. Oh, and did we mention the small gym in the basement and the hydromassage tub in the main bathroom? While they're perfect for workouts and soaking sore muscles, the bright and open living space is ideal for hanging out after a long day in the sun. When you fancy a day on the coast, Kalamaki Beach is only 150 metres away, so grab your towel and sprawl out on the sand. Just a little further is Chania – a ten-minute drive – where museums, eateries and the Venetian port promise plenty of adventures in the Cretan sun.
