The beautifully presented Blue Sea Villa is a contemporary gem for two couples or a small family. It enjoys a fabulous, secluded position with the beautiful beach of Maleme more or less at the bottom of the garden and a field to the side. With a fabulous, very generous sized swimming pool, a gorgeous, lush garden and a brilliant terrace for relaxation and alfresco dining, the villa is absolutely wonderful. The villa is architect-designed with a fantastic, minimalistic open plan living space, a master bedroom that enjoys sensational sea views and a twin room, both with ensuite bathrooms. It boasts striking features such as its open cement staircase and its folding wall of glass that make you feel sure that you made the right pick.

Maleme is a delightful resort with a wonderful mix of peace as well as a fabulous array of bars, tavernas and shops. It sits between the villages of Tavronitis and Gerani with a three kilometre beach. Its lively neighbour Platanias is just ten minutes away with its Blue Flag beach and buzzy nightlife. Chania Old Town is twenty five minutes away boasting its incredibly beautiful Venetian harbour and lighthouse and its charming narrow cobbled streets full of unique boutiques, atmospheric restaurants and bougainvillea. Alternatively, you can head west to the island’s astounding beaches of Balos, Falasarna and Elafonissi or for a very active day out, you can hike through the phenomenal Samaria Gorge.

Blue Sea Villa enjoys a sugar-cubed, dazzling white architectural design with lots of straight lines. It is brilliantly designed for easy holiday living with a gorgeous interior and wonderful outside space. The ground floor living space is bright and beautiful with a sleek, contemporary finish. The neutral decor enjoys vivid colour splashes from the sumptuous corner sofa and striking, modern artworks. The kitchen is streamlined, stylish and offers excellent appliances. A separate utility room is home to the laundry facilities. Doors open to the terrace and garden bringing the outside in and drowning this beautiful space in natural light. An open trendy staircase leads you upstairs to the bedroom suites.

The master bedroom will bring a smile to your face with its wall of glass doors that open and offer the most amazing panoramic sea views towards the tiny island of Thodorou. You can leave the doors open and drift off into a deep sleep listening to the gentle sound of the waves. Like the living space, the bedrooms enjoy simplicity and beautiful furnishings. A beautiful lounge seat is the perfect spot for relaxing with your holiday book. A Juliet balcony ensures the safety of the room should your little ones stroll in. The ensuite bathroom is again minimalist and very spacious with its huge walk-in shower. Next door, the twin room is similarly decorated and furnished. It also enjoys an ensuite shower room and beautiful views.

The gardens are beautifully presented with lush lawns and towering trees that look amazing at night against the colourful sunsets. You can dine alfresco, spend lazy days on sun loungers, cool down in the pool and enjoy cocktails under the stars. Blue Sea Villa certainly boasts a privileged setting where you will be totally mesmerised by the horizon where the sky and sea form a seamless brilliant indigo and turquoise collage.

• If you have young children with you, please take care of the open concrete staircase
• You may prefer to take a boat trip to Balos Beach rather than drive as some of the roads are pretty bumpy
• You must make sure that you have time to visit Chania Old Town. It is captivating and utterly beautiful with a fantastic dining scene. Although there are plenty of walk-in waterside eateries, it is best to book in advance for some of the more popular restaurants such as Tamam and Pallas with its gorgeous rooftop dining space
