Set in a peaceful enclave on a rural Cretan hillside, this breathtaking villa combines modern ambiance with an unbeatable location. An ode to its surroundings, the huge windows in each room look out onto the blue mountains and the Mediterranean sea. Mornings are best started with a dip in the infinity pool, while you soak up the vistas. There is a breezy stone pergola to gather beneath for al fresco lunch, and a barbecue for grilling local fish and meats. Inside, ambient lighting lends warmth to the cool stone interiors. Come evening, curl up to watch the sun set from the sofas or take a cocktail out on the terrace. The villa is 500m from the nearest food shop, while the beach is 1km away. The regional capital of Chania can be reached in 20 minutes by car, where you will find gorgeous beaches, excellent restaurants and a buzzy atmosphere in the evening – athough you may never want to leave your secluded paradise.

Local guide
About Kissamos
Despite its idyllic coastline, Kissamos has remained relatively hidden from the crowds of tourists that descend on Crete each summer. It’s mainly locals you’ll see wandering the narrow streets here, but that’s not to say that this place is totally untouched by tourism. Stroll down to Telonio Beach’s cobbled promenade and you’ll find plenty of seaside tavernas serving hearty Cretan fare, as well as a smattering of bars and clubs...
