Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
If you want the privacy of a villa, but the convenience of a luxury hotel, then you've come to the right place, because this home has it all. Set above the Gulf of Mirabello on Crete, it's the ideal place to kick back and relax in perfect peace with your favourite people. Breakfast is included, so you can start your day right – sip your morning coffee as you look out at the panoramic sea views. When the temperature rises you can take a refreshing dip in the sparkling swimming pool, before drying off on a sun lounger with a good book. Fitness fans can raise their heart rate in the gym, while those who prefer a slower pace might prefer to sweat out their stresses in the sauna. Come evening, budding chefs can get to work in the sleek kitchen, but if you'd rather someone else do the cooking then your host can arrange a private chef to whip up your favourite dishes. When you fancy a day at the beach, take the free shuttle over to the local beach where you'll find sunbeds, parasols, and a menu of tasty food and drinks. If you're feeling adventurous then you... can crest the waves with a yachting or sailing excursion, and golfers can take the forty-minute drive over to the 18-hole course. Then, at the end of a long day, you can relax with a wellness treatment in the resort spa – bliss.
