Heraklios Grand Panorama

Perched above Mades and Ligaria, this hillside villa is all about the views – mountains on one side, the Aegean Sea on the other. Take it all in from the private pool, on the terrace, or even from the bedroom – either way, it’s hard to tear yourself away. Inside, it’s cool and understated, with two sea-view bedrooms plus a mezzanine, making it a great fit for families or small groups. Location-wise, quiet Mades Beach is just a couple of minutes away, Ligaria a short drive, and local tavernas and a supermarket are close by. Heraklion is within easy reach too when you want a bit more buzz – though you may not feel the need to leave.

Home truths:
*Parking is available here. Due to this home's location, we recommend hiring a car to get the most out of your stay.

*Housekeeping twice a week is included.

*While the third bedroom isn't photographed, expect the style and quality to be consistent with the rest of the home.

*The third bedroom is on the mezzanine level and semi-open to the space below, so privacy is limited. It may be best suited for a child, rather than an adult.

*The home is somewhat overlooked by the neighbouring buildings. There's a chance you might see a neighbour or two through the window, so it doesn't feel completely private.
