Perched in Ravdoucha on Crete’s northwest coast, this villa is a short walk from Ravdoucha Beach and close to Agios Vasileios and Skoteini beaches. Located in the Platanias area, it's also near the Orthodox Academy of Crete, Afrata Beach and Kissamos Stadium.

A 4-star villa with air-conditioned rooms, cozy fireplaces and private furnished balconies or patios. Kitchens are full-sized with refrigerators, ovens and stovetops; rooms include flat-screen TVs, DVD players and satellite channels. Expect chill, beachside vibes and sea-breeze mornings.

Take a dip in the outdoor pool, book a session in the massage room or fire up the barbecue area for an al fresco feast. On-site extras include ironing, a safe-deposit box and multilingual staff to help plan local outings.

Complimentary wireless internet is available across the property to keep you connected.

An on-site restaurant serves local Cretan flavors, and barbecue grills let you throw together casual seaside meals after a day at the beach.
