There’s nothing but blue skies with a stay Villa Azzura, set within a small luxury complex near the exclusive resort of Agios Nikolaos, in northern Crete, set in the heart of the Aegean Sea. Villa Azzura is a beautiful two bedroom, two bathroom, two storey, detached property, which can comfortably accommodate up four guests, perfect for a small family or a couple of couples sharing. The villa comes with its own dedicated parking space, and complimentary Wi-Fi and heating or cooling air conditioning system throughout. This award-winning villa has been interior designed with meticulous attention to detail, furnished with elegant fixtures and fittings, and decorated in crisp clean whites with highlights of soft subtle hues of blues.
Enter the villa at ground floor level where you will find a light and airy open plan living space, with floor to ceiling windows that give access to the pool terrace. The seating area is furnished with a soft comfortable white sofa, a small chaise longue, a classic arm chair, a white coffee table and side table, bookcases filled with the latest bestsellers, all arranged around an open log fireplace, ideal for the cooler months. The adjacent dining area has a round white table and matching chairs to seat for, just right for some impressive indoor entertaining. A fully equipped all white kitchen has everything you will need to cater for your holiday, including a family size fridge freezer, dishwasher and washing machine, a hob and oven, and that must-have morning coffee maker.
Take the stairs to the second floor where there are the two spacious double bedrooms. The master bedroom is a roomy twenty five square metres, furnished with a king size bed, fitted wardrobes and bedside tables, and a flat screen television. The large seventeen square metre ensuite marble bathroom has a two-person whirlpool bath with a sea view, double hand basins, shower and WC. The second bedroom has two twin beds, which could be pushed together to make a double, and also has a flat screen television, and an ensuite marble bathroom with a sea view whirlpool bath.
Access the paved terrace via the sliding doors of the living area, where you will be greeted with breath-taking as far as the eye can see Aegean Sea views. Here is an inviting ladder entry rectangle infinity swimming pool with a waterfall shower. The pool is surrounded by four sunbeds and shady parasols, and a variety of soft seating with superb strategic sea views. Eat alfresco at the stone dining table with four matching chairs, enjoy breakfast, lunch, and dinner with a winner of a view!

Location
About the surrounding area of Villa AzzurraVilla Azzura is ideally located north east side of the beautiful island of Crete, betwixt and between Heraklion international airport, just sixty kilometres away, and the domestic and charter destination Sitei, sixty five kilometres distance. You will find Villa Azzura in the coastal town of Agios Nikolaos, named after Saint Nicholas, the patron saint of sailors.
The villa is set within a small exclusive nine luxury property complex, and comes with membership of the Domes of Elounda, which includes access to private beaches, a kid’s club, and use of the creche. Keep fit on holiday with complimentary use of the on-site gym, sauna and steam room. The villa is within walking distance of the nearest sandy beach and the welcoming water of the Aegean Sea. The complex concierge can arrange private excursions including chartering a luxury yacht to sail the local seas, car hire for you to explore the island at your leisure, or even a bike when you can take to two wheels and get some exercise whilst discovering the local flora and fauna. Don’t miss a visit to the Cretan Olive Oil Farm, sample the delights of the local harvest and take a bottle of the golden nectar home with you.
Crete is populated with historic sites, for the archaeologists, nearby is Gournia, or for the more spiritually inclined, Faneromeni Monastery is well worth a visit. Drive to the Dikte Mountains to discover a bit of Byzantine culture, most especially the Church of Panagiakera and its beautiful thirteenth century frescoes. Take a trip into town and wander the ancient streets of Agios Nikolaos where you will find inviting shops selling local crafts, take sanctuary in its twenty eight churches, and find peace and quiet in seven monasteries. Discover Cretan culture in the Folk Art Museum, full of textiles, pottery, furniture and religious iconography. Have fun admiring contemporary street art as you climb the Spirit of the Stairs. In the heart of the town lies Lake Voulismeni, once believed to be bottomless, it is actually sixty four metres deep at the centre and home to the statues of Athena and Artemis. Further afield you can explore the Cave of Zeus, where the king of the Greek gods was hidden by his mother Rhea and nourished by the goat Almathea.
For lovers of luxury head out to the town of Elounda, stroll down streets selling exclusive designer brands, and stop in cosy tavernas where you can star-spot over coffee. From Elounda take the ferry to the island of Spinalonga, once a former leper colony until as recently as 1957, now turned into an open-air museum, with its ancient fortifications, a sixteenth century Venetian fortress, it was made famous in the book The Island by Victoria Hislop, and is now used for many a film set. For those of you who want to adventure further afield join a guided tour to see the Richtis Waterfall, the sunken city of Olous, the Palace of Knossos, and the city of Heraklion where you can learn all about Minoan history and culture. Whatever you do with a stay at Villa Casseopeia, there is something to suit all tastes and activities for all the family.

Kids
Best Suited For: All AgesVilla Azzura has a ladder entry infinity pool, where there’s no set hours so your kids can play and splash all day, especially in the built-in Jacuzzi. The villa comes with membership of the Domes of Elounda, which includes a creche, a kid’s club, and access to a private beach. A short eight hundred metre walk will take you to the nearest sandy beach, bring a bucket and spade and let them build the sand castles of their dreams. The local Aegean Sea is warm and welcoming, and shallow and safe for children to swim. There is also a whole host of fun and fabulous water sports from the beach that are suitable for children, adults, and all of the family to enjoy together. The inflatable waterpark is fabulous fun for younger children with banana boats and water scooters, whilst for your older ones learning to water-ski from the back of a speed boat is a must. From the harbour take family-friendly boat trips out to sea and along the Cretan coastline, stop off for snorkelling, swimming and fish spotting. Push the boat out and book a private charter yacht through the complex’s concierge, for an exclusive, luxury, leisurely, lazy, family day at sea sailing around the Mirabello Gulf.
For your older children and those with a need for speed, all aboard for a go-faster speedboat excursion around the bay. For those who fancy a bit more physical activity, the complex concierge can arrange bicycle hire to explore the island on two wheels, discover traditional Cretan villages, and don’t miss a visit to the local Olive Oil Farm. In the town of Agios Nikolaos children will love running up and down The Spirit of the Stairs, full of colourful contemporary art, or discovering ancient Minoan and Cretan culture in the Folk Art Museum. Put on your walking shoes for local hikes to discover the natural flora and fauna of the area, not to mention secret caves, and lakes that become lagoons that flow into the sea. For out-of-town activities your concierge can arrange private Land Rover Jeep Safari outings, get your children to choose the itinerary and off you go, discover the hidden treasure of Crete with waterfalls, palaces, temples, fortresses, and castles. There’s even the nearby Hersonissos Acqua Plus Water Park with child and adult pools, and a lot of seriously slippy slides, if you really want to make a splash!
