Villa Chorio

On a Cliff Above the Sea with Unobstructed Views

We like the back-to-basics elements of concrete, clean lines and the fresh monochrome palette set against the faraway ocean views. It's simple, modern and serene.

Located in the charming village of Livadia along the southwestern coast of Crete a short walk into town, this villa's prime location and amazing unobstructed views directly above the water provide great access to both the village and the surrounding areas while secluded in complete privacy. Built on a cliff above the sea, the home is hidden by high trees while offering fantastic views across the horizon.

The architecture combines innovation with typical island influences and is designed according to the principles of luxury, simplicity, natural beauty and environmental respect. The bi-level concrete construction and finishes are sleek and airy and invite the scenery in, while the tastefully understated interiors are simple and stylish with cool, contemporary furnishings, minimal decor and lovely ocean views.

Bright and open with slide-away glass walls, it's intimate and inviting and includes a gourmet kitchen with dining and lounge areas and views across the horizon. The upper floor features an en-suite master with sea views along with a garden view twin room. There are two additional garden-view master bedrooms below just a few steps from the pool. 

The marble-paved courtyard, expansive gardens and dining pergolas together with the decks surrounding the pool are relaxing and serene and ideal for entertaining and enjoying together. Secluded and peaceful, the sweeping views, warm luxurious design and rugged natural beauty make this villa an enchanting hideaway.

AROUND 

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 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.
