Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
If you’re searching for a tranquil retreat away from the tourist hotspots, look no further. This home wraps you up in the Cretan countryside and invites you to relax. With all the mod-cons you could wish for, you’ll have a comfortable stay here – the bedrooms may be a bit of a squeeze, but the open-plan living, kitchen and dining area and sun-drenched outdoor space more than make up for it. By day, soak up the sun from in or beside the private pool as you gaze out at the view, and by night, settle down with a glass of wine to drink in the sunset.
