Unique & stunning property for 2, private infinity pool, spectacular sea views

A beautiful and newly renovated open plan apartment, including sitting room, ensuite and new kitchen, all built on the lower ground of the main property. It overlooks its own large private infinity pool, with the option of heating on request at an extra daily charge.

Spacious private terraces with lots of seating areas and perhaps one of the most spectacular views in Crete, stretching across the bay, towards the mountains and to Agios Nikolaus to the right. The apartment provides luxury items for your enjoyment such as Krups coffee machine, microwave, bath robes, luxury bed linens and towels including pool towels and hairdryer. A small welcome package is provided on arrival.

The property is situated just 3 kms from the pretty town of Agios Nikolaus with its shops, marina, cafes, bars, superb restaurants and night life. To the right of the property you can explore Elounda, just 3 kms away with Plaka, and the island of Spinalonga a few more kms down the coast. The latter, the former Leper colony island featured in the book by Victoria Hislop.

There are ample beaches within a few kms, some providing water skiing, jet skis etc.
The views from the apartment are utterly stunning, both day and night - with twinkling evening lights of Agios Nikolaus just far enough to enjoy without disturbance. The bay of Mirabello stretches out in front with the mountains as a back drop. We have incredible sunsets here.

There is also an excellent restaurant in walking distance which offers delicious food, fine wines, cocktails and incredible views, plus a little rustic taverna.

The Owner has 2 very friendly well-behaved labradors, although Misha and Fig live in the upper grounds of the property, they go down to use the garden supervised by the Owner maybe 3 times a day, access to the garden is past the pool area.

The private pool has a salt cleaning system, with the option of heating at an extra daily charge. The pool provides a good size for length swimming.

We recommend a car for your stay, and the owner can organise this with a local car hire company with best rates, and a free car escort from Heraklion airport which is approximately 45/50 minutes away. There is private parking at the premises.
During your stay at this apartment building, you'll be close to Ammoúdi. The apartment includes amenities such as free WiFi and a private pool.
  • The apartment offers a private pool, a kitchen and a washing machine
  • Free WiFi
  • Amenities include a terrace
  • Just a 5-minute drive from Alykes of Elounda and a few minutes from Agios Nikolaos Archaeological Museum

Incredibly Beautiful Property and Gracious Host
Wow! This place is simply amazing. One of the most beautiful properties we have ever stayed. Our host Jules was so kind and helpful with making reservations and seeing to it that we had a wonderful 25th anniversary trip. It’s the perfect romantic getaway for couples looking for a quiet and stunningly gorgeous view in a well appointed villa. Perfect!

Does exactly what it says on the tin. The most perfect of villas we have stayed in. Everything is spotlessly clean and nothing is overlooked with the detail. From beautiful linen to fabulous crockery. The pool is beyond perfect. Jules went out of her way to make us feel welcome and made sure we had everything we needed, including booking restaurants for us. Thank you Jules and the doggies, for making our holiday so special.

What an amazing holiday in beautiful accommodation, with a fantastic host in Jules, helped by Misha & Fig. The holiday was perfect from start to finish (Apart from a slight mishap on night one! Sorry Jules!). The accommodation has an incredible view, which changes hour by hour and is really quite breathtaking. The pool is fantastic and the apartment spacious and very well fitted out.

Faultless property, tastefully decorated, superb welcome pack and extensive, quality furnishings, appliances and kitchen accessories. The million dollar view, the perfect pool but above all else the lovely Jules. In forty years of traveling I have never met a nicer host. I wish I could think of something to suggest that might improve our stay. It’s impossible.

A Serene Escape with an Enchanting Sea View
I recently had the pleasure of staying at Jule's slice of heaven with an exquisite Sea view. I cannot rave enough about this idyllic retreat. From the moment we arrived, my husband and I were captivated by the breathtaking vistas that stretched out before us. The location of the property was simply perfect.It provided us with a sense of seclusion and tranquility, while still being conveniently close to nearby beaches and charming towns. The highlight of our stay was undoubtedly Jules, our host and her extremely sweet companions, Misha and Fig. From the moment I booked her property, she was very communicative. Offering to help with any arrangements we should need and recommendations. She was incredibly hospitable and went above and beyond to ensure our stay was nothing short of perfect. Her attention to detail and local recommendations made our vacation unforgettable. She even went as far as to set up a last minute and private massage for me to enjoy on her personal balcony! She was always available when needed but respected our privacy, striking the perfect balance for a truly relaxing vacation. This stay provided an enchanting escape that exceeded our expectations. Whether you're seeking a romantic getaway or a relaxing retreat, this property is an absolute gem. Without a doubt, I would highly recommend this slice of heaven for an unparalleled experience in one of Greece's most beautiful and captivating islands.

Superb accommodation in a fantastic location. The views were amazing, made all the more special by the pool and outdoor facilities. Jules was a brilliant host from start to finish. Nothing was too much trouble, and she helped with making restaurant bookings, as well as ensuring our every need was met. Her friendly dogs were the icing on the cake as far as we were concerned, they came and said goodnight each evening ❤️ Don’t hesitate to book this studio, you will not regret it.

The infinity pool & pool area is stunning & offers breathtaking views day & night across Mirabello Bay. Jules is a fantastic host along with her trusted companions Fig & Misha, providing local knowledge on restaurants, places & beaches to visit & fine wines to drink.

Amazing! Loved it!💙💙💙
This spectacular place won our hearts in every way! A ‘wow!!!’ from the start.💙 It was just perfect for my husband and I who both needed to find the confidence, post Covid, to begin traveling again. Such a very romantic and special place ~ it was hard to tear ourselves away from~even to sightsee in Beautiful Plaka or eat in the great local and convenient tavernas and restaurants. The view is something very special- from first opening the door in the early morning (and even from your extremely comfy bed) to reluctantly closing up at night … we were captivated… and spent many lazy days and evenings outside on the well furnished patio trying to absorb it for as long as possible. Sooooo Very therapeutic and calming. The good sized infinity pool was a dream too! Jules our beautiful host was a little angel.💙 From our first online enquiry to our sad farewells and even after/trip communication~Jules has been outstanding. Her attention to detail in the well equipped and stylist studio apartment was superb. She was so very kind and generous with lots of added treats and surprises- unlike anywhere else we’ve stayed . (And we’ve stayed in many.) She was so helpful, approachable and friendly with a wealth of local knowledge. Jules recommended a great hire car service and checked daily on our fights home for us incase they were cancelled or altered. She was exceptionally caring and thoughtful. Seeing her two beautifully gentle dogs became a highlight of each day. This review is far too long but hopefully sums up our love of the place and very high recommendation. You’ve just got to go!💙

A Magical Place
Sometimes in your travelling life you hit the jackpot. That's what we felt when we arrived at this amazing home. Greeted at the gate by Micha and Fig the 2 beautiful and friendly Labradors we were lead down the stairs to see a view that we will never forget. The owner (Jules) has meticulously created a wonderful apartment with your own infinity pool overlooking the bay down to Agios Nikolaos. In the apartment you want for nothing. From a top notch coffee maker to a washing machine, it's all there, and if it's not a quick WhatsApp to jules and she does her best to make it happen. The apartment is tastefully decorated to fit Jules travelling life with art and furnishings from India to Greece. There are local Tavernas serving wonderful food and some very high end Restaurants so something for all budgets. However there is nothing more special than sitting on the terrace with a bottle of Rose and having a Greek salad, just wonderful. Please don't think twice about staying here, you will forever regret it. 😍😍

A Wonderful Idyllic apartment, highly recommend..FIVE HUGE STARS⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
As we walked down the steps to the apartment we were blown away by the incredible view overlooking Crete. It truly is an Instagram/Vloggers dream - especially the sunrises! Relaxing by the pool in such a peaceful environment was very therapeutic and has really helped to recharge the batteries. The apartment itself was very well equipped, clean and a pleasant place to stay. The apartment, location and views really are 5 star. The beautiful location was matched by the host Jules and her wonderful dogs. Jules is a fantastic host, wonderful person and is now a friend for life. Nothing was too much trouble for Jules from booking taxis, restaurants and providing guidance on local food attraction spots. She is also a really cheerful soul with a very positive energy. We really enjoyed getting to know her. I would love to return in the future - not just to stay in the incredible hideaway but also to see Jules and the doggies 😃

An idyllic location that exceeded our expectations in every way
From the moment we decided to book this studio all arrangements were very carefully and professionally taken care of by Jules. She really could not have done more to make our arrival stressfree including booking the car and arranging the airport pickup . We nervously anticipated our arrival recognising the possibility that the apartment would not live up to the wonderful photographs. Our worries were entirely unfounded and indeed we were amazed at the views and the quality of the studio accommodation. Our host could not have been more hospitable or thoughtful in her preparations and provisions including outrageously good local wine to ensure that we settled in comfortably. The solitude and beauty of the location was such that we enjoyed every minute and found the whole week both therapeutic and inspirational. We cannot thank Jules enough for all that she did to make our week so memorable including her own personal guide on local restaurants and locations of interest. We shall hurry back and We remain immensely grateful to Jules.

Absolutely everything about this property is outstanding, we had the most perfect time. Jules is the most beautiful human you will ever meet accompanied by her furry friends, Misha and Fig, equally gorgeous. We followed the places to visit and restaurant recommendations in the apartment handbook and found them all to be spot on! Particularly Piato restaurant in Agios and the shop Meraki in Kritsa, both a must do! The apartment itself is even better than the photos, the views and location are simply superb.

Wir durften unsere Flitterwochen bei Jules im Appartement verbringen und hätte uns keinen schöneren Ort dafür vorstellen können. Das Appartement bietet eine fantastische Aussicht, von der wir gar nicht genug bekommen konnten. Von der Sauberkeit über die Ausstattung hin war einfach alles perfekt. Zudem ist Jules eine super nette und zuvorkommende Person, die sich so zauberhaft um uns gekümmert hat.

Wundervolles Appartement mit super Aussicht
Wir waren 10 Tage in dem Appartement, der Pool direkt vor der Tür und der Blick über die Bucht von Agios Nikolaos war fantastisch, bei offener Terrassentür kann man sogar auch aus dem Bett aufs Meer gucken. Es war alles sehr sauber und die Gastgeberin Jules war wundervoll - sie hat uns gute Tavernen empfohlen & reserviert und war immer für alle Fragen und Wünsche für uns da. Fußläufig gibt es ein wunderschönes, gutes Restaurant La Terrassa, mit dem Auto ist man in 10 Minuten in Agios Nikolaos und in 5 Minuten in Elounda - insgesamt ein ganz toller und erholsamer Urlaub mit allem was wir brauchten.
