Morning Song

With a truly enviable location on the north Cretan coastline, this recently built villa comes chock-a-block with pleasant surprises. It makes sense to start outside as it's likely that guests will be spending a great deal of time here. A swimming pool sits in the middle of this space and is surrounded by loungers, umbrellas and an outdoor shower. Just beside, there's a shady pergola with seating and you'll also find another covered terrace with a barbecue closer to the house. Add to this a vegetable and herb garden that guests are free to pick from, as well as a children's play area, and you have distractions for all ages. The home itself benefits from a balcony from which you can survey the grounds, but don't completely neglect the interior. You won't be surprised to learn that the property was only built at the start of the 2020s — there's a very contemporary feel to the decor, from the inbuilt fireplaces and glossy kitchen surfaces to the equally modern bathrooms. Both floors have their own kitchen and living room for added flexibility, and there's also a billiards room too. When you fancy an afternoon at the seaside, Golden Beach can be reached in only three minutes in the car, while the historic landmarks and shops of Chania take just longer than ten minutes.
