Possibly one of the finest views in Crete

We discovered this lovely house five years ago and were so enchanted by the place and transfixed by the incredible view that we decided that it absolutely had to be part of our lives. The feeling of authenticity was enhanced when we found out that it had been created by a Greek artist and his French wife who brought their skills together to make a unique and special house.

We come here for a few weeks every year and for the rest of the time we want to share it with people who, like us, want to experience slow living, gazing at the White Mountains, the blue sea and the vast skies which form our stunning panorama. You wake up to these views from every bedroom, and live them every minute of the day until the most dramatic sundown imaginable envelopes you from the vine-covered terrace.

The house which sleeps up to eight people is full of character and sits peacefully in the middle of a lovely two-acre garden which is fully fenced with gates, drive, and parking. You can lose yourself to nature in the natural rockeries and among the olive trees. The terraces and verandas around the house offer both shaded and sunny seating areas from which one can enjoy the pool and the gardens.

Villa Laraganos is situated near the village of Kokkino Chorio whose whitewashed houses formed a backdrop for the film Zorba the Greek. The beach and restaurants of Almyrida are a few minutes’ drive and Chania, the most lovely of all Cretan cities, is half an hour away.
