With superb views overlooking the sparkling Libyan Sea, this bohemian villa sits only 250 metres from the sandy Aniforás Beach. By sticking to Crete's southern coastline, the unique rocks of Apoplýstra await just a short drive away. What's more, you'll have easy access to wonderful walking trails, lovely eateries, and scenic beauty in every direction of your doorstep. Mindfully designed with almost zero energy consumption, we think you'll fall in love with this bioclimatic home. From the moment you roll out of bed each morning, you can slip straight outside onto the patio and feel that ocean breeze. Come on in through these bright floor-to-ceiling doors and make a cup of coffee in the kitchen. After some exploring, freshen up beneath this outdoor shower or cool off in your private pool. Evenings were made for watching romantic sunsets from your cocoon chair, as you leave all city stresses behind. Whether you're travelling alone or with loved ones, this is a special space ready to reconnect you with the great outdoors.
