XBeautiful exclusive Villa, 30m from sea/beach,garden, large pool, 2- 8 persons

The property is perfectly situated in a very safe area in eastern Crete directly on shore /beach (round pebbles) in the Gulf of Mirambello, exactly opposite of the marvellous antique Venetian fortress of Spinalonga ('The Island') directly beside the old fishers village of Plaka. The village with his unique Cafes and Fish taverns is a short stroll on the road behind the beach away from the property. A bus-stop is close. The small main village of Elounda is by bus less than 10 min away, the slightly larger pitoresque town of Agios Nicolaos with its unique lake and shopping streets about 25 min. In this realm touching the sea and a beach with crystal clear warm water you will find the place to feel home and fill your soul with sunshine and the spirits of antiquity. The hillside VILLA is located directly on the sea above an unpaved road that follows for miles the coastline though uninhabited Cretan nature offering splendid views over sea and mountains. The hiking path E4 starts close-by.

Located directly above and on a beach on one of the most famously beautiful parts of Crete’s coast - the Gulf of Mirabello - the light and shades of blue changing with the hours of the day. It would be hard to be closer to the sea or in a more relaxing spot. The beach itself is a long and pretty curve of pebbles, with natural shade from tamarind trees. Just across the water lies the deserted island of Spinalonga with its poignant history and atmospheric ruins and from Plaka’s small harbour it is possible to join a boat to explore the island or hire one for pottering up and down the coast. Plaka also has shops and good tavernas serving fish and other Greek specialities. The walking distance between the properties and the village is less than 5 minutes along the road behind the beach. The village and complete area is a very safe place, far away from any large city. The less than 200 inhabitants that almost all live of fishing or tourism. A watersport is located within the beach area.

Perfect villa and location

Review Submitted: July 14, 2010 Date of Stay: June 2010
This villa has everything to make a perfect holiday, stunning view, excellent location, comfy beds and a stylish interior. The photos really do not do it justice and there have been some subtle additions, particularly around the pool area that make it much more attractive. It was immaculately clean and very well equipped. It was particularly well provided for in terms of towels and the basics. The housekeeper, was a delight, putting us at ease and a font of all local knowledge. Although the villa is a beautiful place to be, its other advantage is that it is only a couple of minutes stroll to the beach and the small village of Plaka, which has some lovely shops and excellent restaurants – we would particularly recommend Giorgios, the middle one in the row down by the harbour, where Yanis, the third generation owner (his father does the fishing) will always look after you well.
There really was nothing we could fault and are definitely hoping to return next year.
