About this property

The villa has been individually architect designed to maximise on the panoramic sea views and all windows overlook the sea. The 180 degree views are exceptional and all our guests say that the photos cannot do it justice. The property is set in a very quiet and peaceful location within olive groves and at 200 meters above sea level. (Tourist Reg. No. 1040K10003062201). The house is at the end of a 1 km unmade road. The 40 sq.m. infinity pool is heated to a comfortable temperature between May and October by air source heat pump. There are steps down into the pool and the pool and pool terrace can be gated for child safety. The house was designed for outside living with several areas of sun terrace on different levels providing both sun and shade for perfect chill-out. There are 2 separate outside eating areas including a built in barbecue. Downstairs is open-plan with a large, modern kitchen, dining and seating areas. The house is well equipped with all conveniences and is used as a home for part of the year. The house is eco-friendly with solar panels and a grey water system. It is well suited to families of all ages, including toddlers, small children and teenagers, as well as groups of adults. There is a mountain path directly into Elounda, but it is only for experienced walkers. The usual route is by car in 10 minutes. Elounda is a very attractive and popular small seaside town which caters well for all ages. There are luxury hotels with world famous spas, sea-front restaurants and local village tavernas. Water sports are available from hotels and beaches between Elounda and Plaka and you can find diving, water skiing and pleasure boats. Elounda has a safe and sandy beach and there are many other attractive beaches nearby.

Million dollar view

Spacious and well-equipped home. Outdoor setting is gorgeous, a lovely pool for escaping the heat and lots of spaces for entertaining and family fun. Not really walkable but dining down at the port area restaurants is consistently wonderful. Master bed needs a refresh.

Private and bliss

We stayed at the villa in September 2023 and it was truly amazing. The view is beyond description and one we will not forget, it is extremely private and just what we wanted. Mary the owner was a delight to deal with and all the information was fantastic. Jan & Mark the couple who clean and maintain the property were first rate, changing towels and bedding regularly and cleaning when we were out. The villa is a find but a car is mandatory and the road to the villa is typically Greek only tarmac in small parts. I would add that if a member of your group has mobility issues this is probably not the best option. The infinity pool had probably the best view of any I have had without exception. The villa has been built to a very high standard with air conditioning in the bedrooms which was a blessing.allowing us all to get a full nights sleep. Our flight arrived late so we elected to fly a day early and stay in Heraklion overnight the day prior to the rental. This was a smart move as I would not have wished to negotiate these unmade Greek roads in the small hours. If private luxury is your idea is your idea of bliss, then look no further. I would add that if this villa was attached to one of the many swanky 5 star hotels in Elounda, the weekly rate we paid would be per night. All in all, a true find but the road to the villa would be an issue for some nervous drivers new to Greek roads. Highly recommended.

Incomparable views!

This is the best villa I have stayed in - ever! Remarkable views from every room. The kitchen is very well equipped and there is an extensive library as well as a fabulous range of DVDs to cater for all ages. The infinity pool is stunning and was very warm. The managers of the property really can't do enough for you and the owner is marvellous at providing local information and helping out with every query. Wonderful property.

About the host

Hosted by The Owner

We live in the UK but spend as much time as possible in our second home in Crete. We have recently retired which enables us to enjoy winter months here when it is cold and grey in England - and there is always a project. Every other year there are olives to harvest which we take to the local co-operative for pressing and provides olive oil for our family, friends and guests.

Why they chose this property

We bought this wonderful plot on the hillside overlooking Elounda and Spinalonga in 2005. It then took a few years to get the necessary permissions and build the house from stone from the excavations. Each year we have added a feature or landscaping to continue to improve the property.

What makes this property unique

We never tire of the ever changing light and there is always something to watch whether it is the fishing boats returning to port with their catch, the tourist boats ploughing back and forth to Sinalonga or the birds of prey circling in the mountains.
