Turning off the main road from Heraklion towards eastern Crete, a winding route leads down through olive groves and timeless countryside to the tranquil coastal village of Mochlos. Nestled into the hillside above the sea, this contemporary villa makes the most of its elevated position with spectacular views across the coastline. Designed for relaxed holiday living, the open-plan interiors flow seamlessly onto a wide panoramic terrace, where a shaded dining area and inviting infinity pool create the perfect setting for unwinding in the sun. Hydro massage jets add a touch of indulgence, perfectly placed so guests can soak up the mesmerising sea views as they drift into complete relaxation.
As evening falls, the lights of Mochlos begin to sparkle below, inviting you to stroll down for a drink or dinner by the water’s edge. The village’s handful of tavernas and cafés exude easy-going charm, serving superb Cretan dishes in a relaxed, bohemian atmosphere that captures the essence of old Greece. Across the bay, a small island rich in Minoan history offers a tempting destination for swimmers, adding a touch of mystery to this peaceful setting. Unspoilt, welcoming and deeply authentic, Mochlos and its surrounding landscape promise a slower, gentler rhythm of life that feels a world away from the island’s busier resorts.
This 3-bedroom villa (sleeps 6) features a bright open-plan living, dining, and kitchen area with satellite TV and doors leading to a terrace. The kitchen is fully equipped with a hob, oven, fridge-freezer, dishwasher, and washing machine. The ground floor also includes a double bedroom with terrace access, a twin bedroom, and a shower room with WC. Upstairs, the master bedroom has an en-suite shower room and WC, along with a private balcony and upper terrace for relaxing and enjoying the views.
