About this property

Unique & stunning property for 2, private infinity pool, spectacular sea views

A beautiful and newly renovated open plan apartment, including sitting room, ensuite and new kitchen, all built on the lower ground of the main property. It overlooks its own large private infinity pool, with the option of heating on request at an extra daily charge.

Spacious private terraces with lots of seating areas and perhaps one of the most spectacular views in Crete, stretching across the bay, towards the mountains and to Agios Nikolaus to the right. The apartment provides luxury items for your enjoyment such as Krups coffee machine, microwave, bath robes, luxury bed linens and towels including pool towels and hairdryer. A small welcome package is provided on arrival.

The property is situated just 3 kms from the pretty town of Agios Nikolaus with its shops, marina, cafes, bars, superb restaurants and night life. To the right of the property you can explore Elounda, just 3 kms away with Plaka, and the island of Spinalonga a few more kms down the coast. The latter, the former Leper colony island featured in the book by Victoria Hislop.

There are ample beaches within a few kms, some providing water skiing, jet skis etc.
The views from the apartment are utterly stunning, both day and night - with twinkling evening lights of Agios Nikolaus just far enough to enjoy without disturbance. The bay of Mirabello stretches out in front with the mountains as a back drop. We have incredible sunsets here.

There is also an excellent restaurant in walking distance which offers delicious food, fine wines, cocktails and incredible views, plus a little rustic taverna.

The Owner has 2 very friendly well-behaved labradors, although Misha and Fig live in the upper grounds of the property, they go down to use the garden supervised by the Owner maybe 3 times a day, access to the garden is past the pool area.

The private pool has a salt cleaning system, with the option of heating at an extra daily charge. The pool provides a good size for length swimming.

We recommend a car for your stay, and the owner can organise this with a local car hire company with best rates, and a free car escort from Heraklion airport which is approximately 45/50 minutes away. There is private parking at the premises.

Great stay!
Crete is gorgeous! We did so much exploring, we didn’t spend as much time at the apartment as we thought we would. The space is small, but clean and well furnished. The private pool and surrounding views are absolutely phenomenal. I would only take off one star off due to the heat. The owner (who is lovely) has a small indoor A/C unit set it that did help, but we were there in August and it just could not keep up. We would return despite this, but in a cooler month.

Wir waren 2 Wochen bei Jules und wir wären am liebsten nicht mehr abgereist. Es war von der ersten bis zur letzten Minute ein wirklich grandioser Urlaub.

Honeymoon 💍❤️
Wir durften unsere Flitterwochen bei Jules im Appartement verbringen und hätte uns keinen schöneren Ort dafür vorstellen können. Das Appartement bietet eine fantastische Aussicht, von der wir gar nicht genug bekommen konnten. Von der Sauberkeit über die Ausstattung hin war einfach alles perfekt. Zudem ist Jules eine super nette und zuvorkommende Person, die sich so zauberhaft um uns gekümmert hat. Von Hochzeitsgeschenken die wir einlösen konnten über Reservierungen von Bootsfahrten und Restaurants. Es bleibt kein Wunsch offen. Wir werden definitiv wieder kommen!

Incredibly Beautiful Property and Gracious Host
Wow! This place is simply amazing. One of the most beautiful properties we have ever stayed. Our host Jules was so kind and helpful with making reservations and seeing to it that we had a wonderful 25th anniversary trip. It’s the perfect romantic getaway for couples looking for a quiet and stunningly gorgeous view in a well appointed villa. Perfect!

Wundervolles Appartement mit super Aussicht
Wir waren 10 Tage in dem Appartement, der Pool direkt vor der Tür und der Blick über die Bucht von Agios Nikolaos war fantastisch, bei offener Terrassentür kann man sogar auch aus dem Bett aufs Meer gucken. Es war alles sehr sauber und die Gastgeberin Jules war wundervoll - sie hat uns gute Tavernen empfohlen & reserviert und war immer für alle Fragen und Wünsche für uns da. Fußläufig gibt es ein wunderschönes, gutes Restaurant La Terrassa, mit dem Auto ist man in 10 Minuten in Agios Nikolaos und in 5 Minuten in Elounda - insgesamt ein ganz toller und erholsamer Urlaub mit allem was wir brauchten.

Does exactly what it says on the tin. The most perfect of villas we have stayed in. Everything is spotlessly clean and nothing is overlooked with the detail. From beautiful linen to fabulous crockery. The pool is beyond perfect. Jules went out of her way to make us feel welcome and made sure we had everything we needed, including booking restaurants for us. Thank you Jules and the doggies, for making our holiday so special.

What an amazing holiday in beautiful accommodation, with a fantastic host in Jules, helped by Misha & Fig. The holiday was perfect from start to finish (Apart from a slight mishap on night one! Sorry Jules!). The accommodation has an incredible view, which changes hour by hour and is really quite breathtaking. The pool is fantastic and the apartment spacious and very well fitted out.

Kurz "Ein Traum" ... lang siehe Bewertung
Leider kann ich nur 10 Punkte vergeben, denn schon alleine die Gastgeberin, Jules, muss mehr als 10 Punkte erhalten. Alles ist so wie auf den Bildern beschrieben, alle Bewertungen sprechen für sich. Das Apartment, der Pool, der Blick, die Lage, ... sind traumhaft. Jules war zu 100% erreichbar, hat für uns Restaurants reserviert, hat uns grandiose Tipps gegeben, ... und gute Gespräche hatten wir auch noch. Zauberhaft. Alle sin allem werden wir wiederkehren! Dear Jules, lovely greetings to you and your doggies, the little Misha and the good old "Biscuit-Man" Mr. Fig. We miss you. CU next year. warmly hugs from Birgit & Michael (Cushion-Commander)

Faultless property, tastefully decorated, superb welcome pack and extensive, quality furnishings, appliances and kitchen accessories. The million dollar view, the perfect pool but above all else the lovely Jules. In forty years of traveling I have never met a nicer host.

A Serene Escape with an Enchanting Sea View
I recently had the pleasure of staying at Jule's slice of heaven with an exquisite Sea view. I cannot rave enough about this idyllic retreat. From the moment we arrived, my husband and I were captivated by the breathtaking vistas that stretched out before us. The location of the property was simply perfect.It provided us with a sense of seclusion and tranquility, while still being conveniently close to nearby beaches and charming towns. The highlight of our stay was undoubtedly Jules, our host and her extremely sweet companions, Misha and Fig. From the moment I booked her property, she was very communicative. Offering to help with any arrangements we should need and recommendations. She was incredibly hospitable and went above and beyond to ensure our stay was nothing short of perfect. Her attention to detail and local recommendations made our vacation unforgettable. She even went as far as to set up a last minute and private massage for me to enjoy on her personal balcony! She was always available when needed but respected our privacy, striking the perfect balance for a truly relaxing vacation. This stay provided an enchanting escape that exceeded our expectations. Whether you're seeking a romantic getaway or a relaxing retreat, this property is an absolute gem. Without a doubt, I would highly recommend this slice of heaven for an unparalleled experience in one of Greece's most beautiful and captivating islands.

Superb accommodation in a fantastic location. The views were amazing, made all the more special by the pool and outdoor facilities. Jules was a brilliant host from start to finish. Nothing was too much trouble, and she helped with making restaurant bookings, as well as ensuring our every need was met. Her friendly dogs were the icing on the cake as far as we were concerned, they came and said goodnight each evening ❤️ Don’t hesitate to book this studio, you will not regret it.

A great holiday in September
Jules is an exceptional host. I will advise everyone to stay in their very pleasant little apartment for a vacation in Crete. His advice book is very helpful and knowledgeable. We were able to enjoy the swimming pool and the evening of the sunset on the coast while eating an excellent meal. We traveled a good part of Crete by car and thus discovered wild and magnificent corners. On the last day we made a small mistake that she handled quite well, remaining very courteous and was able to quickly unblock the situation (sorry again for that). We will definitely return to Jules and his 2 adorable Labradors. Sincerely XX Claire & Lucas

Wunderschöner Urlaub
Die Erwartungen haben auf jeden Fall alles übertroffen. Schon bei der Ankunft, hatte Jules den Kühlschrank mit diversen Sachen befüllt. Es gab Wein, diverse Kaltgetränke, Brot und Wurst. Für mindestens den 1. Tag ist man komplett versorgt :) Jules ist eine wundervolle Gastgeberin, freundlich, lustig und hat immer ein offenes Ohr. Sie hat sich um alles gekümmert und viele Tipps gegeben. Jules hat sich sogar um die Tisch Reservierung bei den Restaurants gekümmert. Die Restaurants, die Sie uns empfohlen hat, waren Weltklasse. Auch um die Reservierung eines Bootes hat Sie sich gekümmert. Es hat einfach an nichts gefehlt und ihre beiden Hunde sind so süß, wir wollten gar nicht mehr nach Hause. Die Unterkunft hat einen wunderschönen Ausblick, es ist in echt noch viel schöner als auf den Bildern. Vor allem Abends mit dem Blick auf Agios Nikolaos. Für uns war es definitiv der schönste Urlaub, den wir je hatten und wir werden wieder kommen. Nochmals ein großes Dankeschön an Jules, eine super Gastgeberin. LG Chris & Lea

Lover of Greece, the people, the food especially dacos salad! X fashion designer and business woman, I spent many years in India, pursuing my passion for beautiful textiles, colour and music. I love contemporary style fused with splashes of colour, nostalgia and practicality - my joy in life? swimming in the sea with my 2 labradors Misha and Fig.

Why they chose this property

I fell in love the moment I walked through the door

What makes this property unique

The sea front position, the spectacular views, the colours from sunrise to sunset over the mountains, the closeness to both Agios Nikolaus and Elounda but just far enough away for quiet. Finally, the pool ☺️
