Sitting above the Aegean and overlooking the island of Spinalonga, this villa is conveniently located within walking distance of Plaka Beach, some charming authentic tavernas, and Plaka Marina (we suggest taking a boat trip over to Spinalonga). The decor is simple but practical for a coastal retreat – a well-equipped kitchen, an air-conditioned and comfortable living room and minimalist bedrooms. And for guests seeking that little extra privacy and independence, there’s an en-suite bedroom with a kitchenette. The outdoor areas are the real highlights of this home – a balcony for sipping your morning coffee, a terrace for alfresco dining and a pool for cooling off from the midday sun. Home truths: *We recommend hiring a car to get the most out of your stay – there's parking here *This home is spread over two floors – this may not suit those with limited mobility *The décor here is on the simpler side and the aesthetics are not up to Plum Guide's usual standards – we've made an exception to let this one into the collection on account of its great location *The third bedroom has a kitchenette – perfect for those seeking extra privacy *The swimming pool isn't fenced, so children will need to be supervised at all times *Your host can provide a complimentary cot and high chair – this must be requested at the time of booking, and you’ll need to bring your own cot linen
