The Mountain's Secret

When the sun hits this stone villa, in the north of Crete, it truly glows – that's how special this home is. And, with plenty of traditional touches, a stunning location and top-notch amenities, we think you'll fall under its spell in no time at all.

There's plenty of space for all your favourite people to join you – along with the main house, there's also a second smaller villa for those who want a little extra privacy, and both houses are wheelchair accessible. You won't run out of things to do easily here, and there's plenty to appeal to all age groups. Grab a lounger and soak up the sun, before plunging into the beautiful swimming pool to cool off when the mercury rises. Little ones can run wild in the play park, while older kids can challenge each other to a game of pool. And, when it's time to eat, fire up the grill and gather the whole group at the alfresco dining area for a meal to remember.

The closest section of beach is only a kilometre and a half away from your front door, and the well-loved Almyrida Beach is just a ten-minute drive away. There you'll find a watersports centre, cocktail bars, and a traditional harbour with fishing boats. And, if you fancy brushing up on your Greek history, then head to the port city of Chania for a day trip – it's just half an hour's drive away.
