Sitting right on the coastline in the resort town of Kolymbari, you couldn't ask for a better view of the Chania Gulf than the uninterrupted panorama enjoyed at this villa. As you might imagine, there are plenty of spots from which to sit and simply take it all in, whether from the first-floor balcony or under the shade of the seafront gazebo. Against this beautiful backdrop, you're spoilt for ways to pass summer days. The curvy swimming pool will be a faithful companion during the hottest part of the afternoon and there's even an adjoining children's section so little 'uns can join in on the fun. Surrounding this, you'll find loungers on which to soak up some rays, as well as a barbecue and dining table ready and waiting for alfresco feasts. Although it's certainly a show-stealing outdoor space, we're wowed by the villa's interior, too. Traditional aspects, such as the exposed stonework and terracotta tiles, lend a homely charm, while the large windows let in lots of natural light – as well as looking out to that view. We also like the pair of smartly tiled bathtubs that will sing to those who love nothing more than a long and unrushed sofa, as well as the ping-pong table for the ultra-competitive among the group. With the sea this close to the house, you probably don't need us to tell you that the beach can be reached in a matter of seconds. In the wider area, you're well served for restaurants and taverns, while the 13th-century Gonia Monastery lies just up the coastline and is well worth a visit. The same can be said for the city of Chania, 23km in the opposite direction.
