Totally unique, utterly exquisite, and with private beach access, Villa Livadi is a majestic palatial home with extensive grounds and impressive architecture!
Striking columns and balustrades add the perfect hint of grandeur to this incredible villa on the coast of Crete. The entrance is enchantingly historical, including a magnificent staircase in the entrance hall, as if entering an old castle or a stately home, yet once inside, you’re sure to feel right at home as the interiors ooze comfort and contentment. Huge archways, intricate bannisters and tapestries blend beautifully with the marble, stone and delightfully carved wood filling the villa with timeless elegance, beauty, and rich indulgence! Huge living spaces for the whole group invite you to gather, chat and enjoy fine foods, whether at the incredible dining area or in the several lounges.
In the main villa, each of the seven bedrooms is simply superb. A fabulous mix of double and twin rooms, each as inviting as the next! From ornate wooden headboards to luxurious roll-top bathtubs, the attention to detail is wonderful. Many of the rooms also feature fabulous glass doorways, leading you either into this enchanting garden or onto a private terrace overlooking it, and of course, with views out across the Mediterranean Sea. Casual seating here is perfect for a late evening glass of wine or a little peace in the mornings. Alongside each bedroom is a sublime ensuite or nearby bathroom, with marble walls, ornate double vanity sinks and elegant walk-in showers. A bungalow with an additional bedroom, sea views and garden access offer one final, fantastic space for guests, with a bonus kitchenette and living area!
Finally, this spectacular garden elegantly rounds off an exceptional villa. The spectacular pool, a magnificent centrepiece, seems to extend into the distant balustrades, while the striking columns rise distinctly ahead, framing the beautiful sea views. Down the sides of the pool are numerous loungers, welcoming you to settle in and soak up the sunshine in between refreshing dips into the cool depths of the pool. A pergola to one side offers a little shade for some alfresco dining, with a big barbecue beside it for memorable meal times in the fresh air! As you descend the quiet pathway through your garden, you’ll find your private route to the magnificent Ferma Beach below!

Location:
Tucked on the south-eastern coast of the incredible island of Crete, Ferma is a fantastic location for your stay on this superb island, with the best of local life right at your fingertips! Of course, the beach is simply a few feet away, and accessed by your very own private path. But what’s more, the whole area is known for its beaches! From the golden bay of Agia Fotia, to the calm expanse of the Agios Andreas, you’ll be spoilt for choice when it comes to sandy, picturesque spots to swim, paddle and sunbathe!
In the town itself, you’ll find fantastic restaurants and tavernas, only a few minutes from the villa. Meanwhile, over in the bustling town of Ierapetra there are tons more plus fantastic shopping and lively bars - just a 15 minute drive from the villa.
Ierapetra is in fact the southernmost city of Europe and is the picturesque site of an old Venetian fort. Tucked just ten minutes outside the city, you’re ideally placed to enjoy its magnificent beaches, indeed some of the longest and finest sandy beaches on the whole island of Crete!
If you’re looking slightly further afield, you could do much worse than to visit the enchanting market town of Sitia, where the friendliest locals in Crete are waiting to greet you. Its small harbour and picturesque bay are framed by fabulous mountains inland, and a perfect sense of peace across the whole town makes for a wonderful spot for a wander, a peaceful coffee in the sunshine, or a fine alfresco meal overlooking the harbour.
The locals, like across much of Greece, are tremendously friendly and welcoming, and will ensure you can enjoy this spectacular spot on the coastline with joy. Crete is the largest of the Greek islands, and is abounding with beautiful crystal-clear waters, soft sand beaches, picturesque coloured pebbles, monasteries, caves and rich, verdant nature! Across the island you will find a vast array of beaches, including larger, more developed, traditional beaches, and much more secluded ones, ranging all the way to thousands of deserted coves and isolated bays! Small seaside villages punctuate the coast, with the occasional larger town.
