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.

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!

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.

Awesome location and a wonderful host
Jules took great care of us and provided us with information before we even started our trip. Her recommendations for restaurants and short trips were always perfect for us. The location and the view are gorgeous. We are looking forward to having a repetition of this vacation someday and we are glad that we met such a wonderful person :).

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.

Thank you so much for this wonderful experience. There is no better place to overview the Agios Bay Area. The apartment was awesome. We really enjoyed it! Best of all is Jules! She helped us with everything we needed. All her recommendations were honest and accurate. She also made sure to contact us and personalized our stay by having our favorite wine and breakfast upon arrival. Thank you again, hope to visit this place again!

Holiday Heaven
We have eventually found holiday heaven. The apartment is luxurious, with attention to detail first class. The infinity pool & pool area is stunning & offers breathtaking views day & night across Mirabello Bay. Jules is a fantastic host along with her trusted companions Fig & Misha, providing local knowledge on restaurants, places & beaches to visit & fine wines to drink. We hope to return to holiday heaven in the future. Andy & Sarah

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. I wish I could think of something to suggest that might improve our stay. It’s impossible.

A heavenly place to stay
I felt emotional to leave such a special place, waking up to that view (and that pool!!) every morning has been wonderful. The apartment was sparkling clean and very thoughtfully and tastefully appointed. Everything from the bedding, soap, towels and welcome basket had a touch of class. Jules is an incredible host who perfectly balanced the art of giving us everything we needed but leaving us to enjoy our holiday in peace. She recommended some wonderful places to eat and visit. I am already hatching a plan to return.

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

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.

Amazing! Loved it!💙💙💙
This spectacular place won our hearts in every way! A ‘wow!!!’ from the start.💙 It was just perfect for my husband and I who both needed to find the confidence, post Covid, to begin traveling again. Such a very romantic and special place ~ it was hard to tear ourselves away from~even to sightsee in Beautiful Plaka or eat in the great local and convenient tavernas and restaurants. The view is something very special- from first opening the door in the early morning (and even from your extremely comfy bed) to reluctantly closing up at night … we were captivated… and spent many lazy days and evenings outside on the well furnished patio trying to absorb it for as long as possible. Sooooo Very therapeutic and calming. The good sized infinity pool was a dream too! Jules our beautiful host was a little angel.💙 From our first online enquiry to our sad farewells and even after/trip communication~Jules has been outstanding. Her attention to detail in the well equipped and stylist studio apartment was superb. She was so very kind and generous with lots of added treats and surprises- unlike anywhere else we’ve stayed . (And we’ve stayed in many.) She was so helpful, approachable and friendly with a wealth of local knowledge. Jules recommended a great hire car service and checked daily on our fights home for us incase they were cancelled or altered. She was exceptionally caring and thoughtful. Seeing her two beautifully gentle dogs became a highlight of each day. This review is far too long but hopefully sums up our love of the place and very high recommendation. You’ve just got to go!💙

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!

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.

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!
