If you’re a person who loves a good view, then you’re in for a treat. This modern Greek villa on the island of Crete is perched on a hill overlooking the sea with the snow-capped peaks of the Psiloritis mountain range in the distance. While the famous Mount Ida was once thought to be a home to the gods, we think this house with its dazzling pool deck, two-storey windows, and chic interior design that changes with the seasons is more than its match. Whether you’ve spent the day hiking, touring sites from Classical antiquity, or discovering Crete’s world-famous beaches, there is surely no better place to return to. After a wonderful day in the sun, why not cool off in the pool then settle down with a cocktail in the comfort of the cosy outdoor living room. And if you’re after the ultimate in luxury, relax and unwind with an in-home massage before settling down to a sumptuous meal cooked by your own private chef. Remember, anything is possible when you’re seated in the lap of the gods.
