NEW FOR 2025
Commanding a superb position on its own mini-headland, this stunning villa is grand by design, immaculately executed and a really impressive place to bring your family, friends or colleagues. Part of our Exclusive Collection, it sits surrounded by the clear blue waters of the Mirabello gulf on two sides, with vast expanses of glass to maximise your enjoyment of this privileged outlook.
The sense of space here is a joy, and makes for easy living no matter how your group is made up. There’s a guest annexe ideal for grandparents or perhaps the in-laws, and a fabulous big outdoor dining table where you can all come together to enjoy a meal with the ever-changing seascapes of the gulf as a backdrop. The finish is thoughtfully luxurious throughout, with extra-large double beds, beautiful bathrooms and original artworks adorning the walls.
The Gulf of Mirabello is one of the most desirable areas of Crete, and glamorous Villa Nero is right at home here. Its razor-sharp design is softened by the surrounding landscaping, which extends from the house and the pool right down to the sea. You can slip through your private gate (secured by a handy, residents-only wristband, no key required) down onto a small sandy beach, or stroll just five minutes further to Ammoudara beach, which is equipped with loungers, parasols and seasonal watersports. Ammoudara is one of Crete’s Blue Flag-rated beaches, indicating not just excellent water quality but also a responsible environmental approach. For evenings out, you can stroll into Ammoudara or make the short drive to the tavernas, fish restaurants and smart summer bars of Agios Nikolaos.
In Greece, a tourist tax may apply at your accommodation which will be payable locally, in cash, during the course of your holiday. Please use the link to view details specific to your accommodation. View tourist tax rates here.

Our choice of Greek properties is as diverse as the islands themselves, ranging from simple seaside charm to genuine luxury and style. Much of our portfolio is privately owned, and price alone is therefore not a universal guide. We contract all our accommodation in person, and each property has its individual appeal. To help you make the right choice based on your own priorities, we have devised a simple grading guide to be considered in conjunction with each individual property description, awarding up to a maximum of five stars for the below categories.
* * For further clarification on Facilities and Amenities, please view the 'Details' tab for each property or speak to one of our experienced sales consultants.
Agios Nikolaos & The Gulf of Mirabello is one of the most sought after enclaves of Crete. Here you'll find Elounda, a pretty waterfront town hosting some of the island's most exclusive hotels and restaurants and regular ferries across to the former leper colony Spinalonga, a disconcertingly beautiful island with a fascinating history made famous by Victoria Hislop's novel The Island. A little further east, fashionable Agios Nikolaos is a lively town with an abundance of charm and a fabulous selection of restaurants and shops around the harbour.
If you're after a more tranquil and traditional take on Cretan life, the enchanting village of Mochlos lies tucked away at the most easterly edge of The Gulf of Mirabello. Our portfolio here celebrates the road less travelled, transporting guests from the mainstream to a blissfully undeveloped part of Crete that's often overlooked. Mochlos holds a unique identity along this illustrious coastline; a timeless waterfront idyll with a charming collection of cafés and tavernas harbouring the soul food of a simpler life. Whether you choose our Simpson Hotel or one of our luxurious villas, a stay here offers the best of all worlds - combining authentic charm, warm hospitality and easy access to many of the island's highlights, including the breathtaking gorges and caves of eastern Crete and the mountain communities of the beautiful Lasithi Plateau. You can also extend your stay and enjoy a few nights in Athens as part of your Greek odyssey? One of the world's most ancient cities, with a vibrant culture and fascinating history, it's the perfect addition to any holiday in Crete. To find out more, please visit our Short Stays in Athens page.
Whether you're seeking an expansive beachfront home close to all the action, or a tucked away base by the sea, you'll find something to suit in Agios Nikolaos & The Gulf of Mirabello. View our handpicked collection of villas today or take a look at our delightful Simpson Hotel in Mochlos.
