Nuez Villas - Ground Level Villa

A Minimalist Hideaway above the Aegean

The clean lines and earthy forms of this villa designed by architect Aristomenis Theodoridis create a serene counterpoint to the rugged hillside above Mochlos Bay. Unwind completely in its private infinity pool or its hydromassage plunge pool, all just a short walk from the charming fishing village and the sea.

Inside, floor-to-ceiling glass frames the Aegean, while bespoke ceramic sculptures from Melina Xenaki’s Krikri collection add a touch of local artistry. The main living space opens completely onto the terrace, where the generous 16-meter infinity pool provides a stunning focal point for days spent in the Cretan sun. A unique highlight is the private spa area, featuring a hydromassage plunge pool.

The landscape design carefully preserves the native olive and carob grove, an organic herb and vegetable garden invites you to taste the terroir, while shaded pergolas offer respite from the midday sun.

This vacation home for rent in Crete sleeps up to seven guests in three bedrooms, with four bathrooms. There is an additional villa on the same property.

Around

The villa is located just above the charming fishing village of Mochlos, a five-minute walk to its waterfront tavernas and quiet swimming spots. This unspoiled corner of northern Crete is a haven for nature lovers and history buffs. Discover secluded coves like Agriomandra, hike the lush Richtis Gorge to its waterfall, or visit the 3,500-year-old monumental olive tree in nearby Kavousi. For a touch of culture, the whitewashed artisan village of Kritsa is a scenic drive away.
