Some places have a way of making you slow down the moment you arrive. Casa di Mare Sole is one of them.
Set among the sand dunes of one of Crete’s most unspoiled coastal landscapes, this beautiful beachfront villa sits just a few steps from the crystal-clear waters of the Libyan Sea. The views are uninterrupted, the surroundings wonderfully peaceful, and the feeling is one of complete escape.
The drive into the estate is part of the experience. You pass through an olive grove, with a small chapel dedicated to Saint Demetrios and a traditional Cretan cookery along the way. Continue towards the edge of the hill, and the view opens up to the golden beach and the sea below. It's a beautiful introduction to a very special part of Crete.
A Natural, Understated Kind of Luxury
Casa di Mare Sole has a relaxed, understated style that feels right at home in its surroundings. Stone, wood, and natural tones create warm, inviting interiors, while the open spaces make the most of the light and sea views.
It's the kind of place where you can spend the day barefoot, moving between the beach, the pool, and the shaded terraces without ever feeling the need to go anywhere else.
Nine Bedrooms, Each With Its Own Character
With nine bedrooms, Casa di Mare Sole is particularly well suited to large families, groups of friends, or several families holidaying together.
One of the things I love about the layout is that six of the bedrooms open directly onto the beach. Waking up, stepping outside, and finding yourself on the sand just moments later is a rather lovely way to start the day.
The bedrooms are designed with comfort and privacy in mind, with en-suite bathrooms and built-in wardrobes.
Room 1: A spacious, wheelchair-friendly double bedroom with an en-suite bathroom.
Rooms 2 and 3: Two adjoining rooms sharing an en-suite bathroom, with one double bed in the first room and three single beds in the second. A practical arrangement for families.
Room 4: A comfortable twin-style room with three single beds and an en-suite bathroom.
Rooms 5–9: Five double bedrooms, each with an additional single bed, an en-suite bathroom, and direct access to the beach. Some also have their own private pergolas, creating lovely little corners to retreat to.
The overall feel is relaxed and intimate, despite the size of the property, with natural materials and thoughtful details that keep the focus on the beautiful setting outside.
Outdoor Living | The Best Part of the Day
The outdoor spaces are where Casa di Mare Sole really comes into its own.
The infinity pool looks out towards the Libyan Sea, creating that wonderful feeling of swimming towards the horizon. Around it, shaded pergolas, built-in sofas, and comfortable lounging areas offer plenty of space to relax throughout the day.
The main pergola features two separate dining areas, making it easy to enjoy long lunches and dinners together while taking in the sea views. There's also a built-in sofa beside the pool, which feels like the perfect spot for a quiet afternoon or a drink as the sun begins to set.
For those who like to stay active on holiday, the estate has a tennis court, available to book in advance, as well as gym equipment, Pilates balls, training weights, and a table tennis setup.
And then there's the night sky. With very little light pollution in the area, the stars are particularly beautiful here. It's one of those simple pleasures that can easily become a highlight of the stay.
A Little Piece of Crete to Call Your Own
What makes Casa di Mare Sole special is not just the villa itself, but the setting. This is a quieter, more untouched side of Crete, where the landscape feels open and natural, and the sea becomes part of everyday life.
You can spend your mornings on the beach, your afternoons by the pool, and your evenings around the table with everyone together. There's room for socialising, but also plenty of space to find a quiet corner of your own.
For a large family or a group of friends looking for privacy, direct beach access, beautiful sunsets, and a genuinely peaceful setting, Casa di Mare Sole is a wonderful option to consider.

Why I Would Recommend It
For me, Casa di Mare Sole is all about the combination of privacy, nature, and an exceptional beachfront setting. It's particularly appealing for larger groups who want to spend quality time together without compromising on personal space.
The direct access to the beach, the infinity pool, the generous outdoor dining areas, and those uninterrupted sunset views make it a villa where you can settle in and truly enjoy the slower side of island life.
If you're dreaming of a private beachfront escape in Crete, with plenty of space for everyone and the sea right at your doorstep, Casa di Mare Sole is definitely worth considering.
