The splendid Villa is newly built in the Plaka region. Five elegant bedrooms ensure that ten persons can enjoy an incomparable luxury holiday surrounded by every comfort.
Looking out over the Elounda Gulf across to the island of Spinalonga, this villa makes the most of its prime position. Its stone exterior sits harmoniously against the hilly backdrop. Three storeys are set gently into the slope, embracing the panoramic views as they go.
On the ground level is the private infinity pool, sunk into a large, silvery stone terrace. The architectural design feels blissfully secluded, with views opening up from every angle. To one side your outdoor barbecue area stands ready to serve; to the other a covered dining area gives welcome shade, while its open sides leave the seascape undisturbed. Enjoy an afternoon siesta on the comfy loungers or chic day bed, then wake up refreshed and ready to make the most of long evenings and warm, starry nights.
The open plan kitchen, dining and living area is fitted out perfectly. The elegant and modern art, creates a sophisticated backdrop for an evening gathering. The high-spec kitchen makes rustling up a meze feast a dream, while the wine fridge ensures those glasses never run dry. Throw open the patio doors to enjoy the spectacular view. Any of these five rooms give place to pause. Classy and sophisticated décor softens the spirit, while the marble ensuite keeps you refreshed in the Jacuzzi bath. Slipping into a robe and slippers, grab your glass of wine and make yourself the most comfortable.
The three lower ground rooms open into the internal garden with the sea beyond, while the two first floor rooms have their own sea-facing balconies, so you’re sure to find your own sweet spot.
Your days here can be gratifying. A plunge in the pool, a refreshing hamam or gym workout perhaps? Ramble into nearby Plaka. This tiny fishing village has an authentic Greek traditional appeal and hosts an alluring option of tavernas and markets. The local culture and hospitality are absolutely heartwarming.
Plaka offers an access for visits opposite to the island of Spinalonga. Crystal clear waters and pebble beaches are everything that will keep your memory vivid. Beautiful seascapes over to the island of Spinalonga and the Elounda Gulf.
The heating of the poool is extra charge upon request.

About the area
Plaka, nestled at the foot of the Acropolis in Athens, Greece, is a charming neighborhood that offers a delightful blend of history, culture, and scenic beauty. Known as the "Neighborhood of the Gods," Plaka's labyrinthine streets and neoclassical architecture transport visitors back to a bygone era, making it a must-visit for anyone traveling to Athens.
The area is steeped in history, with landmarks such as the Tower of the Winds, an ancient octagonal clocktower, and the Roman Agora, a reminder of the city's Roman past. The district's proximity to the Acropolis means that visitors can easily combine a visit to this iconic site with a leisurely stroll through Plaka's alleys, where every turn reveals a new piece of history or a stunning view of the city.
Plaka's vibrant atmosphere is complemented by its array of shops, where travelers can find everything from handmade jewelry and traditional Greek crafts to fine art and antiques. The neighborhood is also home to numerous tavernas and cafes, offering the perfect opportunity to sample Greek cuisine or enjoy a cup of coffee while people-watching in a picturesque square.
For those interested in cultural experiences, the Museum of Greek Folk Art and the Jewish Museum of Greece provide insights into the country's rich cultural tapestry. Meanwhile, the restored neoclassical homes, some of which have been converted into small museums or galleries, add to the area's cultural allure.
Despite its popularity, Plaka has managed to retain a sense of tranquility, especially in the evenings when the day-trippers have departed. The neighborhood's winding streets and hidden courtyards become even more enchanting as the sun sets, and the Acropolis is illuminated above, creating a magical backdrop for an evening out.
