Watercolour: Crete

Only a short walk away from the beautiful beaches of the Crete coast, this home isn’t just a great base for a beach holiday, it’s also ideal for large groups. With three apartments stacked on top of one another, it breaks big parties into smaller groups so there’s a measure of privacy for everyone. But head outside, and you’ll find more than enough room to come together and enjoy what this beautiful home has to offer.

Rethymno, with its old architecture, can be found a short drive away. Walk the streets, stopping off at the old Venetian harbour to take a look at the fishing boats, head to the lighthouse – built in the 1830’s – and find lunch at a taverna. Of course you can also make an entire day of basking at the sun on any one of the beaches available to you – Rethymnon beach is only minutes away by car.

Back home, amid the modern interior, you’re encouraged to take it easy. Put your feet up and relax with a cup of coffee. Sit out on the balcony, if you’ve taken a room on the upper levels, with a glass of wine and enjoy the fresh air. Come together by the pool – either in the cool waters or the sunloungers just off to the side – and celebrate where you are with wine and joyous conversation.
