Bayview Beauty

Bayview Beauty: Crete

Set on a clifftop with stunning sea views over the bay below, this beautiful villa in Ligaria is like something out of a dream. Walk through the front door and the neutral decor with pops of turquoise and teal immediately wash a sense of calm over you. We love the feature stone wall and comfy sofas in the living area, just the sociable spot to gather with your loved ones.

The interior is chic, with nods to the location peppered throughout, but it purposefully doesn’t try to distract you from the beauty that awaits outside. Step out onto your terrace, and the view takes your breath away. The ocean stretches before you as far as the eye can see. Close your eyes, take in a deep breath, and feel the sea breeze gently brush over your skin. Just relax – that’s exactly what this villa is inviting you to do.

Much of your time will be spent outdoors here. With a fantastic kitchen area, a sparkling pool and a playground for little ones, there’s plenty to keep you occupied. Settle back on a sun lounger with a good book, and feel the sun shining down on you with the sounds of the barbecue sizzling quietly behind you and the waves rolling into the bay beneath. This home is quite simply a little piece of paradise.
