Mesmerising sea views, sleek contemporary architecture and an enviable location in Eastern Crete make Villa Isidora an example of everything we look for in a Simpson Travel villa. It is tranquil and remote-feeling, despite being just 10-minute drive from an authentic Cretan town, while Sitia and Vai are within easy reach. The villa works well for families, with generous living space both inside and out. Floor-to-ceiling glass, a double-height living space and natural, seaside-inspired colours create light-filled and airy interiors, while the terraces, gardens and swimming pool are nicely private despite the magnificent views. Relaxing al-fresco dining is a must – guests at this villa often comment on the spectacular sunrises and sunsets seen from the terrace. The local area Only a 10-minute drive from the villa, Sitia is of the most appealing towns in the area. Unspoiled by tourism with sandy beaches and a beautiful hillside setting, Sitia is filled with tavernas, ouzeries and archaeological sites. The stunning beach of Vai is home to the only palm tree forest in Europe, and a 25-minute drive away from the villa.
