Architects Aristomenis & George Varoudakis Recreate Cretan Architecture for the 21st Century
Traditional island architecture has been translated with modern vision and style creating a dynamic relationship with the natural environment. We love the colorful stone, muted orange palette, bright interiors, and abundant gardens and fruit groves of this group of three villas.
Overlooking the hills, mountains and vast olive and orange groves of Crete, these villas are artful installations that sit in complete privacy and tranquility.
Awarded both the World Travel Award as Greece's Leading Luxury Private Villa and the Silver Tourism Award in the Luxury Villas and Chalets category in Greece, these villas designed by architects Aristomenis & George Varoudakis were built with traditional materials and colorful stones that illustrate and highlight a contemporary version of authentic Cretan architecture.
Each space has been converted into a gallery, exhibiting art collections of the two famous Greek Artists, Apostolis Zolotakis (paintings – mixed media) and Kelly Athanasiadou (sculptures). Guests will have the opportunity to enjoy today’s Greek contemporary art and live in an environment that is aesthetically compelling.
The pools and gardens are relaxing and private, and you can enjoy the fresh organic vegetables, fruits and herbs in preparing your meals.
Private peaceful and luxurious, this is a sweet retreat.
CRETE'S NORTHERN COASTS
Situated in Kontomari village allowing complete tranquility and anonymity. The historic old port town of Chania on the northern coast with its Venetian harbor, seaside palaces and busy resorts is a twenty-minute drive. You are also within about an hour's drive to the medieval archeological heritage village of Maroulas.
The western coasts of Crete feature 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. Check out the neighboring villages of Maleme, Gerani, Agia, Marina, and the energetic Platanias.
