Sleek but practical, this villa packs a real punch. It’s on a hilltop to the west of Heraklion and boasts marvellous sea views. The outside space is dreamy, with a heated salt-water infinity pool with a built-in Jacuzzi and against-current swim features, in addition to a barbecue area. The inside of the villa is no less impressive – it’s spread over four floors but has a lift, a wheelchair-accessible bathroom and ramps. There’s even a gym if you don’t want to skip your workout while you’re away.
