From this three-storey villa's top-floor terrace, you’ve got an expansive view of the bay of Souda in one direction and Crete’s ethereal White Mountains in the other. The best way to enjoy the panoramas? Soaking in the hot tub with a drink in hand, of course. At ground level, the largest of three terraces is home to a private pool and there are plenty of shaded places to dine and sunny spots to recline. Inside is sleek and modern, with an open kitchen and living room with a wood-burning stove. Location-wise, you’re on the coast, five minutes from the beach and 30 kilometres from buzzing Chania.
