Set within the hamlet of Polemarchi, Mystique Villa is a beautifully appointed retreat just minutes from the charming village of Tavronitis and the quieter beaches of Crete’s north coast.
With a spacious, contemporary design combined with elegant furnishings throughout, this is a wonderful base for larger groups or even two families holidaying together. The villa’s elevated position and split-level layout afford panoramic views towards the Aegean, the local hills and the green olive groves below.
A sweeping driveway leads up to the lower level where there is ample parking and a garage (table tennis, extra dining). Guests can access the ground floor living accommodation via (x 17) external steps or interior stairs from the basement level. The front door opens into the expansive yet welcoming living area decorated with light neutral colours, exposed stone walls and velvet sofas, a dining area with two separate tables and a well-equipped kitchen for budding chefs.
Four stylish bedrooms are set across the ground and first floors, each with access to a balcony overlooking the surrounding countryside. The principal bedroom is particularly generous, with high wooden beamed ceilings and modern furnishings, while a separate chill-out terrace offers the perfect spot for sunrise views or a quiet escape.
Outside, substantial terraces invite effortless outdoor living, from shaded dining with enviable sea views to languid poolside lounging. Surrounded by lawns, exotic palms and landscaped gardens, the private pool provides an idyllic setting for long, sun-filled days.
Mystique is just a 5-minute drive from Tavronitis, a welcoming village with traditional tavernas, shops and all amenities. It is known for its rural charm, natural beauty, and proximity to both the sea and the mountains. Restaurants offer freshly prepared dishes, such as moussaka, souvlaki, and grilled fish, along with homemade raki and locally produced wines. Closer still, guests can walk downhill to a village taverna (typically open May - October only), just 600m away, to enjoy coffee and mezze dishes.
As well as the beach at Tavronitis, guests are only a short drive from Agia Marina, Maleme and Platanias where you will find a wider choice of restaurants, amenities, boat trips and water sports. We also recommend you visit the beautiful Venetian port of Chania old town famous for its atmospheric harbour and cobbled streets.
