It is not easy to find beachfront properties in Crete, especially ones ideally suited to larger groups, so we are particularly delighted to welcome Villa Votsalo to our portfolio. And not only is this six-bedroom villa a stone’s throw from the shimmering water of Kissamos Bay in Western Crete, it also exudes classic chic with cool, contemporary lines throughout. Under the same proud ownership as our Kissamos Estate, the attention to detail cannot be overstated.
Natural materials are beautifully crafted and the cutting-edge design is exemplified by the ‘hanging island’ dining table, a real focal point at the heart of the living space. There is an effortless flow between the elegant interiors and expertly landscaped exteriors here, with panoramic views at every turn and multiple terraces to sit out and drink them in. Whether you are dining under the shade of the pergola, stretching out by the infinity pool or drifting off to sleep in one of the elegant en-suite bedrooms, the ebb and flow of the sea offers a relaxing soundscape to daily life and there is nothing nicer than the short stroll across the boardwalk for a refreshing dip or a spot of snorkelling.
Cretan hospitality attracts foodies from all over the world and Villa Votsalo is well-placed to make the most of it. A charming seafood restaurant just 100 yards from the villa serves the catch of the day while slightly further afield, Gramvousa offers a feast for the senses, with its own magnificent vegetable garden available for inspection just yards from the front door. And if you fancy trying your hand at some of the local dishes yourself, why not order an Organic Vegetable Box to be delivered? Your concierge will be very happy to help with this and other arrangements, including a meal delivery service, massage therapies, outings and local recommendations.
For groups of up to 16, Villa Votsalo can be rented with adjoining Villa Ammos for a truly luxurious house party, though the thoughtful layout ensures that privacy isn’t compromised when the two are booked separately.

Fantastic villa for a group of friends/family. The team running the villa were lovely and always available to answer questions and give recommendations. We had a great trip to the area!
Our choice of Greek properties is as diverse as the islands themselves, ranging from simple seaside charm to genuine luxury and style. Much of our portfolio is privately owned, and price alone is therefore not a universal guide. We contract all our accommodation in person, and each property has its individual appeal. To help you make the right choice based on your own priorities, we have devised a simple grading guide to be considered in conjunction with each individual property description, awarding up to a maximum of five stars for the below categories.
* For further clarification on Facilities and Amenities, please view the 'Details' tab for each property or speak to one of our experienced sales consultants.
The soaring White Mountains, known in Greek as the Lefka Ori, are at the heart of West Crete’s dramatically beautiful landscape and the villages in their foothills offer traditional Cretan fare in glorious abundance – that’s if Chania’s twinkling harbour lights and waterfront dining don’t entice you first. Spring brings an abundance of flowers, turning hiking trails and gorges into welcome destinations for walkers, and in summer, the many beaches offer sun worshippers a choice of scenic locations to spread their towels.
