Villa Fraskia

The villa

Located into a hillside, Villa Fraskia delivers a laid - back yet impressive retreat designed for families or groups seeking comfort, space and a few special extras. As you descend the driveway, the striking multi - level design reveals itself, its whitewashed façade punctuated by terraces, glistening pools and panoramic views of the Cretan sea.

Inside, the villa unfolds with generous, open - plan spaces across multiple levels. The main living area blends a sleek white kitchen with oak cabinetry, a dining table for six and a lounge space featuring a plush L - shaped sofa and a smart TV. Sliding doors lead to twin balconies: one with a standalone hot tub, the other with alfresco dining for eight, an outdoor kitchen and a large barbecue, perfect for evening feasts against the sea - lit horizon.

The six bedrooms are spread across the home, each thoughtfully designed with clean lines, warm neutrals and large windows to let in the coastal light. There are five bathrooms in total, including a mix of walk - in showers and ensuites, plus thoughtful touches like blackout blinds, private terraces, and smart TVs in most rooms. A second kitchen and living space downstairs makes multi - generational stays effortless.

Step outside to discover two swimming pools, one gleaming white, the other closer to the garden, both flanked by loungers, soft seating, an outdoor shower, and a firepit for cooler evenings. Around the side, a shaded garden terrace provides further privacy and space to relax.

For entertainment, the villa’s private cinema room is a true highlight. With six cinema chairs, a huge screen, PS5 console, sound system, popcorn machine and even a mini bar, this is a dream for film nights or fun indoor escapes.

Villa Fraskia is set on a quiet hillside in northern Crete, overlooking the shimmering bay of Fraskia. Though tucked away in a peaceful residential area, it offers easy access to the cultural landmarks and natural beauty that define the island’s northern coast.

Surrounded by fragrant gardens and Mediterranean trees, the villa’s immediate setting feels both relaxed and authentically local. A short stroll brings you to Fraskia Beach, where clear waters and unspoilt sands provide the perfect backdrop for swimming and sunbathing.

The nearby town of Rodia, just a short drive away, offers traditional tavernas and essential shops. Here, you can sample fresh seafood and Cretan specialities while soaking up the laid - back pace of island life.

Less than a thirty - minute drive away, Heraklion offers a deeper cultural experience. This vibrant port city is home to historic Venetian walls, open - air markets, and the renowned Palace of Knossos, one of Greece’s most significant archaeological sites.

Active travellers will find water sports and diving nearby, while those seeking tranquillity can simply relax and enjoy the panoramic views of hills and sea, with sunsets that frame each evening in golden light.

Whether exploring ancient ruins, discovering quiet beaches or unwinding by the pool, Villa Fraskia offers an ideal base for a rewarding stay in Crete.
