The Ochre Sun

Surrounded by olive groves and fruit orchards, this 160-year-old estate opens its doors to the beauty of western Crete. Outside, days can be spent lounging by the private pool or admiring the views from the terrace. It’s also just a short stroll to the nearest pebble beach, while adventures further along the coast will bring you to Maleme and Platanias (just 4 kilometres away). Guests can also enjoy a range of extra services here – including private chefs and massage treatments. Home truths: *While not all of the bathrooms are photographed, expect the style and quality to be consistent with the rest of the home. *Due to the location, we recommend hiring a car if you’d like to explore further afield. *Daily housekeeping is included in your stay along with a linen change twice per week.
