Perched above the sparkling Bay of Elounda, this exceptional luxury villa enjoys a peaceful setting on the beautiful island of Crete, where panoramic sea views, fragrant gardens, and direct waterfront access create the perfect Mediterranean escape. Just a short drive from Elounda’s picturesque harbour, with its excellent waterfront restaurants and cafés, the villa is also ideally placed for exploring Crete’s rich history, including the legendary Palace of Knossos and the ancient Minoan civilisation.
Surrounded by olive groves, wildflowers, and beautifully landscaped gardens, the estate offers complete privacy across generous grounds. The accommodation is divided between a spacious main house with six en-suite bedrooms and a separate guest house providing two additional bedrooms, making it ideal for larger families or groups travelling together. A winding garden path leads directly to the sea, where a private bathing platform and jetty provide easy access for swimming or arriving by tender.
Inside, the villa combines timeless elegance with relaxed comfort. Bright, generously proportioned living spaces include a large fully equipped kitchen, welcoming lounges, and a traditional games room with a full-size snooker table. Each bedroom is thoughtfully furnished in a classic Mediterranean style and benefits from its own en-suite bathroom, creating peaceful private retreats throughout the property.
Outdoor living is at the heart of the experience. French doors open onto a charming central courtyard where a long dining table provides a magical setting for candlelit dinners beneath the stars. Overlooking the bay, the poolside dining terrace is perfect for leisurely lunches in the shade, while numerous terraces and private bedroom balconies offer quiet corners to relax with a book or simply take in the breathtaking coastal scenery.
Available on either a self-catered or fully serviced basis, this elegant retreat combines privacy, exceptional facilities, and one of Crete’s most desirable waterfront locations, making it an outstanding choice for an unforgettable Greek island holiday.
