Tucked away on Crete’s tranquil north eastern coast, Mochlos is a small and characterful village where time seems to slow, its charm rooted in history, a picturesque harbour and an inviting cluster of tavernas and cafés along the waterfront. Just five minutes’ walk from the village centre, The Artisan’s House stands in striking contrast to the modest surroundings, a magnificent five-bedroom villa that embodies refined craftsmanship and contemporary design. Grand in scale yet warm and welcoming, it combines meticulous attention to detail with sweeping sea views, luxurious interiors and every conceivable comfort, from the elegant living spaces and state-of-the-art kitchen to the stylishly appointed bedrooms and even a private office overlooking the Mediterranean. Outside, the villa continues to impress with beautifully landscaped gardens, a heated infinity pool and multiple terraces perfectly positioned for sunbathing, dining or simply admiring the endless horizon. Guests can make use of a private tennis court, well-equipped gym, billiards and table-tennis, or unwind in the Jacuzzi room overlooking the sea. Beyond this exceptional residence, Mochlos reveals its quiet allure – an unspoilt coastal gem where locals and visitors mingle over long lunches by the water and where the island opposite still whispers tales of Minoan artisans from 3,000 years ago. The Artisan’s House offers the pinnacle of luxury in an exquisitely peaceful setting, complemented by local concierge services for an effortlessly indulgent escape.
