Stunning property & views for two. Private infinity pool with heating option
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. Nearest beach blue flag beach is Havania, just 2 mins drive or 20 mins by foot.
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 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.

Lovely villa and even lovelier host, we stayed here as part of our honeymoon and it was the highlight. The villa is so beautiful and clean, and stocked with everything you’d need. The best part is the host Jules, we already cannot wait to come back again in the future!
The property and view exceeded our expectations and the listing doesn’t even begin to fully capture the majestic nature of this location. Beyond this, our host Jules is an exceptional person who made us feel like we were visiting with a dear friend and went above and beyond to make our stay amazing!

Thank you so much, it was lovely to meet you both 🐾☺️
Jules, thank you so much for such a wonderful stay at your beautiful villa. Everything was perfect from the moment we arrived, peaceful atmosphere and stunning views to the thoughtful touches that made it feel like home. We truly appreciated your kindness and hospitality, and it made our time there so special. We’ll cherish the memories and hope to return again soon!
What a lovely apartment with an amazing view overlooking a fabulous private infinity pool and Mirabello bay with Crete mountains beyond. We loved our week here - the apartment is perfect for two - it is very tastefully done, very clean and the property owner is super helpful with many good recommendations for places to explore and visit.

We stayed for 7 nights at the end of September. The property is ideal - just outside of the local town with an absolutely stunning view.
Jules and her pups made our stay really pleasant and stress free. We couldn't recommend staying here enough!

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 :).

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!
This is an exquisite vantage point from which to enjoy the spectacular beauty of Crete. Perched on the hill above Mirabello Bay you will enjoy precious sunrise, sunset, and sparkling night views of the water and Agios Nikolaos below. You will not want to leave! This lovely property is made even more special as the owner, Jules, makes perfect hospitality her mission. The little apartment is exquisitely clean, appointed with everything you need to hide away there, and you will find a lovely basket of snacks and an excellent bottle of wine when you arrive. This is a breathtakingly beautiful spot to land, don't miss it!!

Beautiful Apartment with great pool and fantastic views
Five star stay in beautifully decorated apartment with fantastic views and lovely pool in great location but best of all is the owner Jules she’s a gem. Quick response to any queries, gave us excellent recommendations of where to eat and best places to visit. Her welcome pack is brilliant and numerous little extras in the apartment such as toiletries, herbs and spices in the kitchen and plenty of utensils and gorgeous tableware. She’s so welconing a true gem we’re counting down the days until we return to this beautiful apartment and see Jules again. Not forgetting Buddy the dog, I’ll miss my dog cuddles.

Dearest Janine & Michael, thank you. Having you stay was my absolute pleasure. You are an inspiration Janine. I hope you will come back soon ❤️x
What a magical location hidden from road. Absolutely stunning views across the infinity pool. Well appointed and Jules was the consummate host who provided absolutely everything we needed. Her local knowledge and restaurant recommendations were amazing.
Highly recommended
Jules was a very good host. Place was just as it said on the tin. She likes to make things 110%.
Was very impressed by the apartment. Spotlessly clean on arrival. Beers in the fridge along with some other things. Single bloke on his own who could ask for more !!
We had a fantastic stay in this hidden gem. The views, accommodation and private pool were just perfect and even better than the photos. Jules was the icing on the cake. Her attention to detail, communication and the endless help she offers to make your stay just right is nothing short of exceptional.
Thank you Jules for a lovely holiday. We will be back 😊

Thank you so much Daniel and Shantelle. We very much look forward to your return 😊
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.
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.
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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 ☺️
