Star Sign: Crete

This stunning villa, located in the north of Crete, is guaranteed to take your breath away. With a range of fabulous amenities and beautiful views, it will keep visitors of all ages happy – don't be surprised if a smile doesn't leave your face all trip.

Upmarket, contemporary style radiates from every corner of this house – think subdued, chic shades, wooden details, and modern furnishings. There's plenty of space for you to find a peaceful place to relax with a book both inside and out – perhaps with a glass of chilled white wine. Meanwhile, the kids can run riot in the play park, or challenge each other to a game of table-tennis, before plunging into the swimming pool to cool off. When the crowd gets hungry, serve up some Greek favourites to share before gathering around the fire pit to do some stargazing.

The ancient city of Rethymno is just eight kilometres away, where you can soak up the local history and admire the Venetian Harbour. If the beach is more your kind of thing, then you'll find a Blue Flag lagoon just two kilometres away, and if you head inland there are some wonderful trails for walkers and cyclists. And perhaps best of all, the Jacuzzi is waiting back at home to soothe any tired legs from your travels.
