Villa Crete

Perched on a hillside overlooking Heraklion, Villa Octo offers modern minimalism and panoramic bay views. This stylish three-bedroom Cretan retreat boasts privacy and a sleek design, with a large patio area, covered pavilion, and outdoor kitchen for alfresco dining. The 50sq m infinity pool has panoramic views of the Aegean and a dark-wood deck with several sunloungers. Lanterns light up the deck after dark. With one master bedroom and two doubles (twins on request), it's an idyllic escape for soaking in breathtaking sunrises and savouring the tranquillity of Crete.

Situated 15km from Heraklion and steps from the sea, Villa Octo offers easy access to city amenities, historic sites like Knossos Palace, and nearby beaches, including Lygaria just 5 minutes away.
