A stone’s throw from Mades Beach, this Crete villa combines water views with impeccable design. Everything from the sleek marble kitchen to the statement wooden walls point to a luxurious touch and when you combine it with the soft colour palette and plush furnishings, you’re definitely on to a winner. Spend mornings around the dining table nursing a rich cup of freshly-brewed coffee before getting breakfast on the go. You can, of course, eat at the dining table, but with the promise of a fresh, sea salt breeze and stunning views out over the deep blue, you might opt for an alfresco dining experience, out on the terrace, instead. Spend lazy days either in the swimming pool or reading on one of the sunloungers right next to it, or hurry down to the small beach a few dozen steps away to feel the soft sand beneath your toes. You might even brave the salty surf, but simply relaxing with a drink sounds like a perfect afternoon to us. Most of the rooms here will connect you to the beautiful view of the bay, albeit through a window or a door, but we encourage you to step onto the balcony at...Read more sunrise, or sunset, at least once. Explore the rest of the island, starting with the coastline, as you hop from beach to beach and when you’re not sunbathing, you can find your way to one of the local tavernas to share laughs over a meze platter.
