This beautiful home can be found perched on the side of a cliff looking over the coast of Crete. If sweeping views and magnificent sunsets are your thing, you’ll love this villa. As you swim in the infinity pool, your eye is drawn to the bay below, where yachts cruise by and small fishing boats bob in the distance. From the villa’s elevated position, the views are spectacular – at sunset there’s no better place to be than on the terrace with a cocktail. The poolside terrace has plenty of comfy seating, so you’re all set whether you like to lie out in the sun all day or prefer to read in the shade. The pergola provides shade over the outdoor dining table too, making your alfresco meals an absolute delight. There’s a barbecue and an outdoor kitchen – you might like to book a private chef to prepare a celebratory dinner. The villa’s interior is just as stylish, and the view can be admired from the open-plan living and dining space. When you wake up in the morning, you can roll out of bed and straight onto a balcony. Perhaps you’ll enjoy an early-morning yoga session – with only... the view for an audience, it’s the perfect spot for it. There are plenty of beaches within easy reach of the villa. Drive six minutes to Koutalas for a quiet day on the sand. For a more action-packed beach trip, Almyrida is just eight minutes away. Try your hand at windsurfing or paddleboarding before enjoying lunch at one of the seafront restaurants.
