About this property

Mary 3, Waterfront villa,Private pool,Tavern

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.

We loved it all - the location, the property, the taverna next door. Everything was as described. Only thing that would have enhanced it would have been some details about bins, cleaning etc as the caretaker doesn’t speak English. Thanks for having us!

Great location - lovely clean and spacious house, very modern and comfortable.
Everything in this house was just great, especially the outdoor and pool area, especially in the evening when ‘night lights’ on the pool switch on. The house is well furnished and everything is gathered for. The location is amazing, takes a while (1.5hrs from Chania airport) of ups and down roads but when you arrive is all worth it. There are 2 other villas and a nice friendly family restaurant next door with great food and decent prices. The beach in front (10 meters!!) is practically private and is half sandy half pebble with great surroundings for snorkelling. Little piece of paradise in Greece!

Absolutely beautiful and quiet villa with magnificent views
We really loved our stay at the villa. The villa itself was beautiful and the views were superb. The peace was lovely, with very few people around we mostly had the beach to ourselves. The family run restaurant next door was great, the food was delicious and the family were very friendly and welcoming. We would definitely return to the villa and have in fact already discussed our return. The one criticism we had was it would have been nice to have been given some basics like soap washing powder, tea and coffee and also things like the kettle could have been of better quality. However it has not changed our discussion in our rating because the villa was just what we wanted.

Wonderful new villa and beautiful location
Absolutely wonderful. Stayed for a week with our two teenage children and we all loved it. Everything was fantastic: the villa was beautiful - well furnished and equipped, clean, very comfortable - and the location was superb, right by the beach and with glorious sea views. The pool was kept beautifully clean with regular maintenance from the caretaker. The location was wonderfully quiet too which suited us perfectly (although it was the very start of the season). Can highly recommend Zorbas taverna, just a couple of minutes walk away - serves absolutely delicious food, not only home made but mostly produced on their own farm. Friendly owners and English-speaking. Nearby, can strongly recommend the Imbros gorge walk: park at Komitades, get a taxi to the top and a superb walk down.
