Bright Blue Horizon

Bringing a touch of luxury to island living, this palatial villa has everything from Swarovski chandeliers to marbled Jacuzzi tubs. The decor, inspired by ancient Greek myths, might not be to everyone's taste, but the home has plenty of space and is comfortable. Private pool, alfresco dining area, and sun-kissed terraces – this home truly has it all. More than that, you're only a five-minute walk from the sandy beach of Agios Onoufrios, so you can drop your bags and head down the hill to bask in the sun. Chania is also a short drive away.

Home truths:
*While some of the bedrooms and bathrooms aren't photographed, we expect the style and quality to be consistent with the rest of the home.
*Two guests will sleep on a sofa bed in the second bedroom. There's also a ground-floor bedroom and bathroom here for those with reduced mobility. The double bedroom can be arranged into two twin beds with prior notice.
*We suggest hiring a car for ease – there's free parking here.
*If you're travelling with little ones, your host can provide a cot and high chair for free. As the pool is unfenced, they'll need to be supervised at all times.
*Weekly linen changes, twice-weekly housekeeping and pool maintenance are included here.
