Cycladic Chic

  • 10 guests

  • 5 bedrooms

  • 5 bathrooms

We were thinking of not telling you about this luxurious, newly built villa in Elounda – we were hoping to keep it to ourselves. Why? You ask. It could be to do with its secluded hilltop position, with sublime views over Mirabello Bay and the Kalydon peninsula? Or maybe it's because you can enjoy the vistas from seven terraces? Yes, a different area for every day of the week. Watch the sunset from your private infinity pool, or relish a glass of wine under the pergola while you grill the catch of the day on the barbecue. The chic interiors are no less impressive – your hosts have thought of everything. The typical Cycladic style of whites and blues anchors this residence in its landscape, while strings of pebbles adorn the walls, along with sea birds and fish sculptures, evoking a subtle beach vibe. It's a home that feels both classically Grecian and, at the same time, very contemporary. All bedrooms have direct access to outdoor areas, as well as that spectacular seascape. With two separate buildings next to one another, we think it's perfect for a group of friends or extended family. If all this wasn't enough, it's just...
