Spun Glass Lagoon

Make the most of Kalamaki, Crete, in this gorgeous three-storey villa. Detached from the surrounding houses, you won't need to worry about any noisy next-door neighbours or main roads. Ground-floor bedrooms make this home accessible, and the private pool, fitness room, and spa elevate it to luxury. Daily housekeeping and concierge services mean not lifting a finger during your stay, and there's plenty of lounging space indoors and out. Kalamaki beach is a breezy stroll away, though you'll want a car if you're planning a day trip to Chania or Rethymno.
