About the host
Hosted by David and Madeline Crossland
My wife Madeline and I are based in Berlin but our heart is in Crete. We fulfilled a dream last year by purchasing this delightful villa.
Why they chose this property
It offers an escape to one the most beautiful parts of Greece. The villa is set on a hill overlooking the Bay of Mirabello and the foothills of the Dikti mountains in northeastern Crete. It is spacious and modern and a few minutes' drive from superb beaches and the charming town of Agios Nikolaos. You can chill out at the pool, enjoy barbecue and beer evenings on the terrace, marvel at the splendour of the Cretan landscape in the setting sun and then savour the twinkling night sky, an astronomer's dream, as you contemplate the day spent and the one to come. Villa Poppy is the perfect base for exploring the coastline of this magnificent bay, the Minoan ruins, the unspoilt mountain villages and the Lasithi Plateau with its windmills and soaring eagles. It is only an hour's easy drive from Heraklion.
