About this property

Luxury 2 person open plan apartment, private infinity pool, spectacular views

This fantastic open plan apartment is the ideal holiday villa for a couple who want to have luxury, privacy, and self-catering but with your own private infinity pool in a very romantic setting. The guest villa is located in a private gated estate just outside Istron, and the property is perched at the top of the estate, with total privacy and a bird's eye view of the whole of Mirabello bay across to Agios Nikolaous.

It is a luxury open plan apartment perfect for a romantic break for two people. The open plan apartment is located on its own plot (shared with the owner's house, which will never be occupied when the apartment is let) and is therefore totally private.

Best holiday in recent memory

This property far exceeded our expectations. We knew from the reviews that it was going to be great but we were not prepared for the magnificent views, the magical outdoor space and the incredible sense of privacy. It was mesmeric, utterly breathtaking and we loved every minute of our stay. We also thoroughly enjoyed the local area, including the beaches, great restaurants and the Palace of Knossos. As soon as we got home, we were dreaming of when we could come back to the Mirabello Estate.

The Most Perfect Sanctuary !

We were overwhelmed with the property the second we stepped through the gate ! We wanted a real escape and this is exactly the place for one! We travel a great deal and thoroughly do our homework before booking anything and were delighted to find this amazing looking place , however the pictures simply do not do it justice …it is absolutely stunning ..the views are breathtaking, it’s so quiet and relaxing. So many outdoor area seating areas to choose from, enough shade and everything that you could want is available. The apartment, although small, was perfectly adequate for the two of us, the bed was incredibly comfortable ( always an issue!!) the little kitchen was very well equipped with all kitchen essentials required . The electric shutters gave us the option of leaving the patio door open and just closing the shutters …very dark ..lovely ! The air con was very effective at times for when we needed to cool off! The pool was fabulous and a great size as well deep! Initially because of the strong winds it felt very cold and we were reluctant to stay in it for long, Stavia was so incredibly helpful and kind, and had the pool heating turned on for us to raise the temperature a few degrees! Michelle was just amazing , she gave us loads of useful information and kept the place spotlessly clean . Nothing was too much trouble. Stavia was so approachable and filled us with confidence . We have no doubt that we will return next year it’s just Paradise! Absolutely perfect! ❤

Spectacular

This really was a most magical stay. The location and setting of the property are breathtakingly beautiful. The apartment has everything you need and was spotlessly clean. The view from the apartment stretches directly across the infinity pool seamlessly blending with the sea below. That is quite something to wake up to! The outside terrace is huge and totally private. The pool is a perfect size and at this time of year we opted to have it heated - which was well worth it. Check in and out were easy as the owner, Stavia provides a very comprehensive info document and responded to any queries (eg directions to places) quickly. The weather was utterly glorious apart from one day of blustery winds. We cannot recommend the property highly enough - and we can’t wait to be back.

Early May Experience

The location, the view, the tranquility and the outdoor terrace comfort are nothing less than fantastic and amazing. The internal accommodation is small even for a couple! If it’s warm and sunny then it’s absolutely ok. But the weather in our first week starting 30 April was cold and windy especially in the evenings so we couldn’t sit or eat or swim outside and the studio apartment is not geared up for this!! However when the weather improved after 6 days we experienced the magnificence of the place. The owner responded immediately to our early issues and we must praise the cleaner and all round helper Michelle. Her attention to detail and cleaning care was absolutely fabulous! Bed linen and towels etc were changed twice each week. The local village has some excellent restaurants and a nice beach but once the weather changed we had no desire to leave the terrace and the heated pool. So, all things considered, we give it 5 stars and may we’ll return but not in late Spring next time!

Villa was Just Perfect

We booked this villa for 10 days based on the reviews provided by other guests who had stayed in the villa. We were not disappointed. What a wonderful property it is. The inside of the property is very clean and comfortable. The outside with its lovely infinity pool is relaxing. The views from the property are stunning. Every day we started our day waking up to sunshine and glorious scenery. After a swim in the lovely pool we had breakfast on the terrace. then off to explore the island. We could have stayed forever if we could. Michelle our contact was most welcoming and provided advise on places to eat and things to see. The owner Stavia was extremely kind and thoughtful. We asked if the property had a smart TV. We planned to watch films at night after exploring the island. We were advised it didn't. Stavia kindly purchased one and it was in the villa when we arrived. What a lovely gesture. Made our stay even more enjoyable. We had a very relaxing enjoyable holiday and we would recommend this property to everybody. Absolutely stunning property 10 out of 10 for everything. We loved it.

Fantastic!!

My husband and I have just returned from an 11 night stay at this wonderful villa apartment. It is the most relaxing holiday we've ever had! The apartment has everything you need and is beautifully furnished and the view from the terrace is breathtaking, we never tired of it. Stavia is a pleasure to deal with, as is Michelle who is very friendly and helpful. In fact all the people we met who run the estate were great. We would highly recommend this property if you need to properly relax and escape a hectic lifestyle.It is very private and tranquil. That said, there is plenty to do nearby too should you want to venture out and you can get groceries, etc in the village which is a short drive down the hill. We would definitely stay again, now if we could!

Stunning view

Very beautiful place, with a stunning view. Nicely remote so we could spend time on our own, but still close by lovely fishing villages and shopping opportunities. Spacious and clean apartment well connected with the terrace and pool. We will definitely be back. Only challenge was the internet, which makes it difficult to work from there. Finally, Stacia is an excellent host.

Great retreat for a couple

Large infinity pool with great terrace, splendid view and a small appartment. Apart from tourism, a few minutes away (by car) from the small village Istron (restaurants, beach) or Ag. Nikoloas (more restaurants). A couple of activities around but mostly relaxing ...

Absolute amazing, stunning, beautiful

Wat een prachtig, luxe verblijf. Het uitzicht is onbeschrijfelijk mooi. Elk moment van de dag weer anders. We raakten er niet op uitgekeken. Het terras biedt ook een fijne lig of zitplek op elk moment van de dag. Er is altijd ruimte in de zon of in de schaduw. Ook binnen bevat het verblijf alle luxe die je nodig hebt. Een lekker bed, een fijne douche en een prima keuken. Ook de ligging is prettig. Wel een paar steile hellingen voordat je er bent (maar dan heb je ook dat fantastische uitzicht). Naar de stad is het ongeveer 15 autominuten rijden. Echter in het nabijgelegen dorp, zijn er verschillende (kleinere) supermarkten die alle basis boodschappen hebben. Ook diverse leuke restaurantjes. Wij komen hier zeker terug!

About the host

Hosted by Stavia Blunt

Host profile image
I am half Greek and half English, and know Crete well. We chose this part of Crete because of its fantastic landscapes, sea scapes and the unspoilt surroundings. The quality of the workmanship in our property is superb.

Why they chose this property

I love the spectacular views, the peacefulness, the natural surroundings, the massive expanses of sea and sky. I love the local life, the people, food and culture. I love being close to the land - and the region allows me to indulge my interest in olive horticulture and husbandry. There are beautiful walks and beaches on the doorstep with traditional tavernas just a few minutes away.

What makes this property unique

Absolutely incredible location with spectacular views. Own private infinity pool. Parking. Private gated estate. Near wonderful beaches and good shopping and tavernas. a unique unspoilt corner of Crete with abundant history, culture and nature.
