Listen to the gentle sound of the waves at this detached, luxurious home with its minimalist architecture. This place has been designed by a sea lover and you can tell. We adore the vistas overlooking the bay of Chania – this villa is frontline meaning it's totally private. If you tire of swimming in the gorgeous infinity pool (unlikely we know) there’s a private path down to the rocky coastline. There’s a lawn at the back too offering some shade and a bit of respite from the Crete sun or dine under the pergola. As the light fades, enjoy the most romantic of sunsets as you sip a glass of raki from the welcome hamper provided by your lovely hosts. Later, relax in one of the bedrooms – the sea views from every room are divine, or unwind in one of the wellness showers. Out and about it’s a few hundred metres to the picturesque Tersanas Beach, while the pretty old Venetian port of Chania is just twenty minutes in the car. This home and location is just perfect.
