Description Emerald of the World: Crete

Sweeping views of the Ionian Sea take all the glory at this oh-so-contemporary villa tucked into the quiet hillsides of Crete. It’s a view best admired at sunset from the stylish alfresco terraces – the panoramas stretching to Mirabello Bay and the Sitia Mountains are spell bounding. With each bedroom offering balcony access, there’s no need to tussle for the best room here. And when it’s time to dip your toes into the local culture and hit the beach, take your pick from the pretty town of Agios Nikolaos and the bustling resort of Elounda Bay – you’re just a short drive from them both.
