With a view of Agios Nikolaos and the Sea of Crete, this suite-style villa is all about coastal relaxation. Beach Almyros is practically on your doorstep, with more sandy shores a short drive away. When you're not exploring, you'll make a beeline for the panoramic balcony, although the indoor hot tub is another fantastic spot to unwind with a glass of wine. Only a small kitchenette is available, so don't expect to cook big meals here. That said, breakfast is included and you'll enjoy a complimentary welcome drink upon arrival – now that's what we call five-star service.
Home truths: *This home is for adults only – we think it fits the bill for a romantic getaway
*You'll have to climb some stairs here, so we don't recommend this for guests with limited mobility
*We suggest hiring a car as the centre of Agios Nikolaos isn't within walking distance – there's free parking on the premises
*Although the kitchenette is compact and not suitable for preparing large meals, breakfast is provided by your hosts
*The dining table doubles as a laptop-friendly workspace if you need to work from home
*This villa doesn't have a pool, but there is an indoor hot tub and the beach is only a short stroll away
