This is one of those spots that stays with you forever. Placed right along the shores of Cape Koutoulas on the southwestern coast, this villa for rent in Crete is located on a private and picturesque beach in the calm, sheltered bay.

A striking architectural installation with unobstructed views over the water, the placement puts the focus on the natural beauty of the environment and provides complete immersion and privacy. The natural stone and wood construction and luminous walls of glass invite the scenery in and blur the boundaries between structure and surroundings, integrating the home into the rocks and sea.

The one-floor villa includes the main living room and open kitchen that open out in a seamless transition to the pool and shore.
Towards the back are two bedrooms (1 double, 1 twin) and two baths with room for up to four guests.
Consciously designed to emphasize and highlight the landscape, the layout creates a house that combines efficient, sustainable design with locally sourced materials and a respect for the site’s history and lifestyle.

Inspired by traditional Cretan arts and crafts, the furnishings, and decorative elements are a celebration of local craftsmanship, with traditional textiles, ceramics, and wooden elements that reflect a style rooted to its surroundings and architectural heritage, in a laid-back naturally luxurious atmosphere.
Shaded by the large pergola, the outdoor living areas flank the pool and are likely where you'll spend the most time, with an outdoor kitchen, barbecue and dining areas and lazy lounge areas nestled into the rocks. There's also a rooftop jacuzzi for nights under the stars with the Mediterranean and sky strecthed out before you.
Secluded and peaceful, the sweeping views, warm natural design, and raw natural beauty make this villa an enchanting hideaway.


ADDITIONAL FEATURES

Optional concierge services include: Private chef, car services and airport transfer, massage and spa services, yoga classes by the sea, child care, land and sea touring. Housekeeping included with linens and laundry services. Welcome kit and breakfast basket with local products is delivered to the villa daily.

 
CRETE'S WESTERN COAST

The western coast of Crete features wild natural landscapes and two of the top ten ranked beaches in Greece: Balos and Elafonisi. A quieter less populated region, it stretches from Balos and Falasarna to Livadia, Elafonisi and the Krios peninsula in Paleohora and Kissamos to the north.

The nearby village of Livadia is a charming and traditional village and is located along the seaside route of the European E4 hiking path. The historic old port town of Chania with its Venetian harbor, seaside palaces and busy resorts is about an hour's drive, and the medieval archeological heritage village of Maroulas is situated just a few miles from the Venetian harbor town of Rethymno along the scenic northern coastline.
