A Luxurious & Elemental Ode To The Beauty of Crete

Placed just above the sea, this newly built luxury villa in Crete is a private paradise immersed in nature, that appears to have been designed by the island itself! Luxuriously natural with a handcrafted feel, the construction and design, recalls traditional Cretan architecture. 

Constructed of all-natural, locally sourced materials such as stone and wood, the design duplicates the look and feel of island homes but with a decidedly luxurious spin.

A Luxurious & Elemental Ode To The Beauty of Crete

Situated at the top of Cape Koutoula along the rugged western coast, this luxury villa in Crete is an expansive and indulgent escape, designed around the textures and colors of the island’s natural features. Composed of locally quarried stone, wood, and concrete, it’s a contemporary version of traditional Cretan architecture, combining elegance and the raw elements of nature. 

The property’s seamless indoor-outdoor flow establishes a deep connection with the landscape, where you’ll feel as if you are part of the mountain, with the sound of the waves and the breeze comes off of the sea getting you closer to the essentials while expanding your horizon.

The interiors are spacious and airy with the main floor living areas opening entirely, engaging you with the scenery, with plenty of space for entertaining and relaxing. The lounge and dining area feature a gourmet kitchen on one side, and an indoor/outdoor atrium with a fabulous fireplace, expanding the living spaces further. 

There are four en suite master bedrooms, each with private entrances to the pool terraces and sea views with room for eight guests.

The interiors successfully combine the modern with the traditional, with luxurious but understated furnishings and decor paired with earthy stone, wood and concrete finishes.

The grounds are ideal for holiday fun in the sun with a large swimming pool,  outdoor lounges with a barbecue and dining areas, and space to spread out and relax in style.

 

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 it’s 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.

The Perfect Escape Made Easy My wife and I renter this property for an escape to start our summer off and I can not express enough how incredible our experience was. I will try to break it down for you but you wont understand until you experience it for yourself. Prior to arrival I was constantly in contact with the host and property manager. ( Natasha & Sofia) I was a little extra in regards of contact because it was my wife and I's first international trip since COVID started and I wanted to make sure it was perfect. Every question and request was met by a timely response via WhatsApp and sometimes email. They helped source a Chef for us as well as boat tours which is a must. They actually helped tailor our entire trip to Crete. From local Tavernas with traditional Cretian food to the best locations to visit while we were on our escape. The property is beautiful naturally and the sun goes down and the lights come on with accent lighting highlighting the key details not only of the architecture but the surrounding environment as well. The COVID protocals and cleaning schedule gave us an extra sense of security. The WIFI was perfect and un interrupted. Although we were on an escape from real life... we did have to check in at work. I was in fact able to oversee a photoshoot in Los Angeles via live stream while sitting in the pool. Waking up every morning to the beautiful light coming in and walking outside to receive our daily breakfast basket full of fruit fresh bread etc was definitely a caring touch. I highly recommend hiring their chef he was so kind and easy to work with. I also 100% suggest visiting or getting take out from the local tavernas. Will I go back? Absolutely! Next time we will hopefully bring our son + some friends and family. To all future bookings... I wish you all the best and enjoy the escape.
