Arriving at this hilltop sanctuary, you’ll find it hard to take your eyes off the views. Overlooking the northwest coast of Crete, this is the perfect opportunity to switch off and savour the magic of coastal living. From leisurely swims in the private pool to restorative sessions in the home spa, every detail has been considered to inspire optimum relaxation. There is also a gym, a pool bar, a children’s playground and a concierge service offering extras like a private chef and massage treatments. At full occupancy, two guests will be sleeping on a sofa bed, but this is a great option for families travelling with children. It’s also worth noting you will need a car to get around here, but it’s just a ten-minute drive into the heart of Chania, while the nearest beach is less than twenty minutes away.

About Crete
The biggest of Greece’s islands, Crete has thousands of years of history scattered across its wild hinterland, and a coast dotted with secluded bays. The capital of Heraklion is a lively port city with a world-class museum, but the main draw to the island are the crumbling ruins, white mountains, and crystal clear waters for swimming and snorkeling. Evidence of the ancient Minoans that once lived here is on display...
