Crete Dreams Are Made of This

Crete Dreams Are Made of This: Crete

Located just outside the village of Maza – which is a short seven-minute walk from your door – this villa with its private pool, gardens and great views of the Cretan landscape is perfect for your next family holiday or trip away with your friends.

Begin your mornings with a coffee and breakfast under the shade of the pergola with a view of the swimming pool. Then, lounge in the Greek sun or relax in the hammock with a great book before you slip into the cooling fresh waters of your pool, which even has a kids' section to keep little ones safe.

Watch your kids let off steam on the playground swings, kick a ball around the garden and try to score a goal in the nets, or even practice your putting skills with the garden’s golf holes. Plus, if that still hasn’t tired the children out, beach days can be reached in just fourteen minutes by car.

To explore Crete’s history and sights, why not visit Chania, which can be reached in forty-five minutes by car, or Rethimno – a thirty-five-minute drive away – with its 1830s lighthouse and Venetian harbour, lined with fishing boats and great tavernas for local, traditional meals? Or, you could even explore the seas and book a boat trip.

End your day with a dinner eaten alfresco. Then, when the little ones are all in bed, sip a refreshing glass of wine as you admire the views this home offers.
