Moonlight Shores

Moonlight Shores: Crete

Purposely built to give you the most beautiful panoramic views of Plaka bay, this modern villa lies only minutes from the beach. Prepare alfresco meals in the outdoor kitchen to make the most of the sunshine and overlook Spinalonga Island from the private swimming pool. Though there's a large dining table, the living room might lack a little room for fourteen guests, but the sprawling terrace makes up for that. Besides, who'd want to be cooped up inside when the outdoors has so much to offer? The little play set is a bonus for families travelling with kids.

Home truths:
*While all of the bedrooms and bathrooms aren't photographed, we expect the style and quality to be consistent with the rest of the home.
*We suggest hiring a car for ease – there's free parking here.
*There are stairs to climb here, so it won't be the best option for those with limited mobility.
*At full occupancy, two guests will be sleeping on the sofa bed in the living area.
*The swimming pool isn't fenced. If you're bringing little ones, they'll need to be supervised.
