About this property

Mary 1 Waterfront villa,Private pool,South Crete

Nestled on the pristine southern coast of Crete, an unspoiled region blessed with breathtaking natural beauty, you will discover a handful of charming tavernas sprinkled along the coastline, flanked by magnificent sandy beaches. Amidst this idyllic backdrop lies Mary Beach Villa, where the traditional villages of the area, the rich history of the local Venetian castle, and the serene, tranquil atmosphere come together to create a perfect setting.

Mary Beach Villa is a modern and brand-new beachfront oasis, featuring three bedrooms and a private infinity pool that gazes out over the azure Libyan Sea. Just a few steps from the villa's doorstep, you'll find the secluded sandy beach of Laki. Nearby, three authentic taverns await, offering homemade dishes crafted from traditional recipes and locally sourced ingredients, all prepared upon request by the welcoming owners.

This single-level villa, covering 110 square meters, boasts high-end, contemporary luxury. It comprises a spacious, luminous living room with a comfortable sofa that can double as an additional bed if needed, complete with a TV, DVD player, and WiFi connectivity. The modern, open-plan kitchen is equipped with a ceramic stovetop, oven, fridge, freezer, dishwasher, and all the necessary utensils.

Three beautifully appointed bedrooms, one with an en-suite shower/WC and a family bathroom with a shower/WC and dual sinks, round out the villa's comfortable layout. The master bedroom features a king-size bed with sea views and direct access to the pool and veranda, while the second bedroom has two single beds, and the third bedroom boasts a double bed. All bedrooms are equipped with air-conditioning units.

The living room opens up to the pool through a sliding door, and the private infinity pool spans 27 square meters. A covered terrace adjacent to the pool is the perfect spot for enjoying your meals with expansive sea views.

This villa is the ultimate choice for a peaceful family vacation focused on the beach or for honeymooners seeking a romantic and tranquil escape. The exclusivity and privacy offered by the villa and its surroundings are truly priceless.

For larger groups, families, or gatherings, two more sister villas are available on the same grounds.

The village of Fragokastello is a mere 5 km away and offers additional amenities such as supermarkets, restaurants, and ATMs. The quaint village of Skaloti, located approximately 2 km from the villa, has a mini-market for your convenience.

Fragokastello Castle itself is a living piece of history, offering a window into a vibrant and revolutionary past. The castle's remains closely resemble its appearance when it was originally constructed in 1371. Above the main entrance, you'll find a sculpted slate with the Lion of Saint Mark and two Venetian feudal coat of arms.

The views of the majestic White Mountains are simply breathtaking and beckon you to embark on daily excursions. The European Hiking Footpath (E4) passes through Fragokastello, meandering through the enchanting Imbros Gorge and traversing the Kalikratis Gorge, both of which are easily accessible for exploration and hiking.

The crystalline, shallow, and warm seawater of the area harmonizes beautifully with the formation of sand dunes, providing endless hours of play and relaxation.

According to local legend, every year, on the anniversary of the Battle of Fragokastello (4-6 June), at dawn, a long procession of apparitions can be witnessed. Figures armed with weapons, pedestrians, and horse riders march from the church of Saint Charalambos toward the fort. This phenomenon occurs when the sea is calm and there is moisture in the atmosphere, lasting approximately 10 minutes. The figures reach the sea and vanish into it as the first rays of the sun appear. These apparitions are known as Drosoulites.

Relaxing getaway
We loved our stay in this property, set in a quiet location but walking distance to a couple of Tavernas. Property was a very good standard, the pool was great and the sea was metres away. We loved it and would love to return some day.

peaceful retreat
If you are looking for a secret hideaway in a beautiful setting this is the place. The accommodation is as you see, modern clean and has all you need. We spent a week in May and didn't want to leave. We loved the tavern next door and had their special each night. We had a car which is essential for exploring the beautiful area. The cleaner came in 3 times in the week which was not expected and very welcome. The pool was small but a welcome cool off when sunbathing. The sea is so close and great to swim and snorkel in. We will definitely be returning.

FANTASTIC
A LOVELY VILLA, IN A VERY PEACEFUL AREA. THERE ARE A COUPLE OF TAVERNAS NEARBY, BOTH VERY WELCOMING, AND BOTH SERVING TASTY LOCAL DISHES. FRANGOCASTELLO IS ONLY 5 MINUTES DRIVE, WHERE THERE ARE WELL STOCKED MINI-MARKETS, AND SOME MORE NICE TAVERNAS. THE VILLA IS TRULY LOVELY WITH A SUPERB VIEW OF THE SEA !!! SUPERB !!!

Hidden gem.
Beautiful location, peaceful with stunning views. Villa had everything we needed. Pool was lovely for cooling off but the sea was much better for swimming (and warmer!). Car definitely required unless you're a serious hiker! Maria and her family in the closest taverna were very welcoming and helped us arrange a car and a fishing trip. The food there is very good but if you prefer to cook in the villa, Maria will make you a Greek salad to takeaway! There is bread van which stops outside the villa in the morning. There was an information pack but it was in German. I asked to have an English version but apparently there isn't one. Shame because I do feel we missed some local attractions, beaches maybe and places to eat through lack of knowledge. As others have said on reviews the en suite shower is all show and a terrible design. It pours water into the bedroom when used. We had to ball up a bath mat to try to stop it. I would suggest only using the shower in the main bathroom which is excellent. Also there is no shelf space in the en suite, nowhere to put a toothbrush and no toilet roll holder! Such little things to correct but presumably it has been like this since being built. Overall though we would definitely go again, Nikos the caretaker provided a welcome pack which was fantastic, arriving in the early hours as we did there was no opportunity to get milk and bread. He could be contacted any time and we found him to be very helpful. The villa was cleaned through, clean sheets and towels every three days. If you want peace, staying somewhere with lovely views and friendly locals, come and stay here.
