Settle into this coastal hillside villa, and revel in the long summer days from your perfect little terrace and private pool. Soak up the sunshine on one of the lounge chairs, before cooling off with a dip or a massage under the waterfall feature. After a refreshing swim, dry off for an alfresco lunch under the shade of the pergola – complete with a barbecue and a covered seating area, it's the ideal spot for lazy mezze platters or big Greek feasts come evening. With beautiful panoramas over Almyrida and its green terrain, we can think of no better place to end a lovely day than out on your private balcony with a glass of wine and a bowl of olives to tire you over. Whether you're looking for a Cretian romance or a small family break, the multi-level space promises an intimate stay without feeling on top of one another. While you could understandably spend all day outdoors, step inside your home to find a comfortable open-plan living area with modern furnishings and a sleek fireplace to keep things cosy on chillier nights. Through to the bedrooms, where you'll awaken to the beautiful sea and natural landscape views. Each... having its own ensuite, there will be no need to queue for the shower, so you can get ready for a fun-filled day at the beach. Speaking of, take an eight-minute walk down to the shores of Almyrida Beach, boasting a range of popular seafront tavernas and laidback bars. The charming fishing village is also easily reachable from your villa on foot if you're looking to eat out in town.
