Offering homely exclusivity with three charming cottages sitting quietly across beautiful grounds, this is a wonderful escape for a large family or group of friends. We love how the rustic 250-year-old olive oil press sets the scene of historical and cultural beauty as you enter this picturesque estate. With sweet features carrying through to the individual cottages in the form of fireplaces and beamed ceilings, you will be charmed from the moment you arrive. Indulge in a sunset swim in the private pool, lit by candle-type lights – the ambience is magical. As you dry off for the evening before dinner, wrap yourself in a fluffy towel and indulge in a quick garden drink under the sofa-laden pergola. Indoors is just as fabulous – a unique mediaeval-style curved dining table will be the setting for your feast. Retire to your cottage and embrace some private space – you could even indulge in a delightful bubble bath before bed, for the most magnificent way to relax. The only trouble sleeping you’ll experience is from excited thoughts crowding your mind in anticipation of the following day. Indulge in your morning cuppa amongst the abundance of fruit trees, it will awaken your senses... as well as your soul. Before you leave, make sure you visit Crete's tropical coastline. Koutalas Beach, picturesque villages and beautiful towns are all within driving distance of your postcode.
