If you're on the hunt for a unique villa on the north coast of Crete, we've found just the place. This dwelling is something special – grand arches, swaying palm trees and a gorgeous freeform private pool make it a luxurious home-from-home to make many happy holiday memories. It's perfect for families, featuring a private playground where kids can let off some steam. You can spend lovely mornings sipping your coffee while you stroll around the landscaped gardens, and listen to the birdsong from the lush and leafy trees surrounding you. Then, start your day with a refreshing dip in the pool before lounging out in the sunshine. Come inside and cook up a feast of traditional Cretian cuisine – the island is known for its fresh fish – to eat all together on the alfresco dining set. When you're ready to venture out, Gerani Beach sits mere minutes away, a sandy beach lined with lovely restaurants and bars where you can enjoy a cold pint in a picturesque setting.
