The Garden of Ammoudara

The Garden of Ammoudara: Crete

We were sold when we first saw this home's panoramic sea views – and we're pretty sure you will be, too. Perched on the hillside, just outside the sought-after resort town of Agios Nikolaos, this villa is all about rest and relaxation. Admiring the stunning vistas across Mirabello bay, the islet of Agioi Pandes and the Sitia mountains is likely to be at the top of your agenda – whether you're enjoying the infinity pool, sun terrace or alfresco dining area. Another perk? The Jacuzzi bath, which is the perfect end to a busy day. Located just 400 metres from the coast, you'll be within walking distance of Ammoudara and its picturesque sandy beach settings.

Home truths:
*Due to this home's location, we recommend hiring a car to maximise your stay. There is private parking available on the premises.
*The home is spread across two floors without a lift, so it may not be suited to those with limited mobility.
*The single bedroom is relatively small with limited storage space. However, it has everything you need for a comfortable night's sleep. We think it's better for children.
*The decor here might not be to everyone's taste. It feels a little dated in parts.
*If you're travelling with little ones, your host can provide a free cot and high chair on request. As the pool is unfenced, children will need to be supervised outside.
