Cretan Vista

If you’re after sea views, this beachfront villa in Mochlos delivers. Whether you’re by the infinity pool, in the hot tub, or relaxing on a balcony, the Aegean Sea and the mountains are always front and centre. The garden’s filled with olive and citrus trees, and there’s an outdoor kitchen with a pizza oven for alfresco meals. Inside, the main house has four en-suite bedrooms and an open-plan living space that opens onto the terrace. There's also a separate one-bedroom annexe for guests wanting extra privacy. You'll need a car to get around, but you're just a minute's stroll from the beach and a ten-minute drive from local bars and restaurants.

Home truths:
*This home has four bedrooms in the main building, and a separate one-bedroom annexe with its own kitchen, living room and en-suite. The two buildings are connected by the outdoor kitchen.
*Due to this home's location, we recommend hiring a car to get the most out of your stay. There’s free parking for one car on the driveway, as well as a public parking place designated for a person with disabilities.
*For those with reduced mobility, there's a ground-floor bedroom and bathroom here.
*The swimming pool is treated with active oxygen and is chlorine-free. It isn't fenced, so if you're bringing little ones, they'll need to be supervised at all times.
*Your host provides two tanks of gas for the barbecue.
*There are no in-unit laundry facilities here, so you may want to pack some travel wash liquid.
*A free mid-stay cleaning is included, with fresh bed linens, pool and bath towels, and general tidying. The host will arrange a convenient time with you when you arrive.
