Immerse yourself in the mythical beauty of Crete with a stay at this stylish villa majestically nestled on a hillside overlooking the beautiful Gulf of Mirabello. This place has all the comforts to make your stay a restful and memorable one – from the tranquil privacy of your own garden and glistening pool to the many communal facilities designed to give your holiday that extra golden touch of luxury. Arrive to be welcomed by a warm and elegant interior, bathed in golden sunlight and boasting incredible views from the large windows. The living room is tastefully decorated, with plush furnishings, marble floors and plenty of space to lounge about and enjoy relaxed evenings of wine and conversation. We love the colour pallet and the unique pieces thoughtfully scattered all around – this is more than a holiday house, this truly feels like home. You’ll be able to rustle up quick and delicious meals in the well-equipped modern kitchen which you can share with your whole party either inside at the dining table or out on the terrace where you can admire the sun setting over the mountains. Out here you can also lounge about by the pool, cool drink in hand – why not let the warm sun do its thing while you catch up on your holiday reads. The comfy and luxurious bedrooms carry the promise of restful sleep – wake up refreshed and ready for a day of exploring. The private shuttle bus will take you to an exclusive private beach club located a ten-minute drive away – or you may choose to venture out on your own. In that case, you’ll find the charming village of Elounda worth a visit, and you can also find plenty of excursion boats that offer day trips to the island of Spinalonga.
