Being doused in sunshine for much of the year, blessed with a periphery of beautiful golden beaches and hidden little coves, and laden with ancient sites of historical interest, it\u2019s not surprising that Crete remains one of Europe\u2019s top holiday destinations.<\/p>\n

\"Blue<\/p>\n

Couples looking for romantic breaks, families wanting fun in the sun and discerning travellers yearning for some cultural enlightenment, Crete has something for everyone.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re looking for high-quality, self-catering accommodation with a private pool on the beautiful island of Crete for a family holiday, take a look at the following three Vintage Travel villas in Crete.<\/p>\n

Asterion, Agia Triada, Rethimnon<\/strong><\/p>\n

Asterion<\/a> is a stunning stone-built country house that enjoy fabulous views of the surrounding countryside that stretches across to the sea. This beautifully-presented rural home has three bedrooms and three bathrooms, sleeping up to six guests in comfort \u2013 perfect for larger families.<\/p>\n

Asterion\u2019s circular pool will undoubtedly be the focal point of al-fresco fun, which looks out towards the most captivating of views. The village of Agia Triada is just 1km from this beautiful country home.<\/p>\n

Epavlis Plaka, Plaka Almyrida<\/strong><\/p>\n

Another stunning three-bedroom, three bathroom villa on Crete that can sleep six guests is the fabulous Epavlis Plaka<\/a>. This traditional-style home is just 1km from Almyrida Beach and a five-minute walk from authentic Greek tavernas, making it a great choice of accommodation for families.<\/p>\n

Though with a fantastic swimming pool, a spacious sun terrace and a built-in barbecue, persuading the family to leave Epavlis Plaka\u2019s grounds might be challenging!<\/p>\n

Blue Sea, Maleme<\/strong><\/p>\n

Families of four might be attracted to the impressive villa that goes by the name of Blue Sea<\/a>, likely to have derived from the vast stretch of beach virtually at the bottom of the villa\u2019s garden.<\/p>\n

This fantastic cubist, whitewashed villa is contemporary, spacious and is located in the most enviable of positions just 100m from Maleme Beach and 300m from a local taverna. Blue Sea has two bedrooms and three bathrooms, comfortably sleeping families of four.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
