Do you have a question about this home or the local area?

Ideal for a large group of friends or several families travelling together, this villa has plenty of room. Two of the bedrooms are in a separate area with a sitting room and kitchenette, so you won’t all be crowding each other in the main villa. The outside space here is the main event, with sea views, a private heated pool, a hot tub, and a barbecue area. There’s also a sauna and fitness area inside, along with ping pong and pool – there’s no chance of boredom here. Best of all, it’s just above the village of Kokkini Hani, with the beach a mere 1500 metres away.


The Plum Promise

  • No time for average – We reject thousands of homes worldwide, so you don't have to.
  • Hosts we know – With track records of high-quality hosting.
  • Rated ‘Excellent’ on Trustpilot – Exceptional service before, during and after your stay.

Home truths

    There’s free parking here – we recommend hiring a car to get the most out of your stay

    This home is spread over two floors so may not be suitable for those with reduced mobility – there are some ground-floor bedrooms and bathrooms though

    In addition to the main villa, there’s a separate space with two bedrooms, a living room, kitchenette and bathroom – this is ideal for a family to share

    While not every bedroom or bathroom has been photographed, we expect them to be of the same style and standard as the rest of the home

About Heraklion Town

Affectionately dubbed ‘small Athens’, Heraklion is Crete’s largest and most populated city. What started out as a fortified harbour town has grown into a bona fide tourist hotspot, popular for its year-round warm weather and palm-tree-lined seaside promenade. You only have to glance at a photo of its glistening port to understand why this place attracts so many visitors each year, but Heraklion has much more to offer than just...
