A luxurious villa of understated elegance located among tranquil rolling hills and soothing olive groves along the northwest coast of the island of Crete. It is just a 20-minute drive from the charming, historic town of Chania and 5 minutes from sandy beaches and the nearest village of Kolymvari. Villa was originally built as the summer residence of the owners. Villa (200 sqm) consists of three bedrooms that can accommodate up to 6 guests, an inviting living room area with vast bay windows that bring the outdoors in, a country-style open-plan kitchen, balconies and patios (160 sqm), vividly colorful gardens and a spectacular infinity pool with panoramic views of the mountains, olive groves and sea that surround the home. On the main floor, a large open-plan area welcomes guests and includes the comfortable, spacious high-ceilinged living room area with its striking fireplace and oak wood flooring, the casual dining room and the villa’s well-ordered, stylishly functional kitchen. It may have a rustic elegance, but this kitchen provides absolute 21st century amenities and equipment, a treat for cooking aficionados, who are incidentally encouraged to pick fresh vegetables from the villa’s organic garden to use in their creations. Natural light and stunning views enter through the floor-to-ceiling glass windows, creating an airy feel. An outdoor extension of the tasteful interiors can be found in the marvelous pergola-shaded verandas. With their outdoor dining and lounging areas, built-in cushioned sofas and comfy patio furniture, the verandas embrace the villa and open onto the gardens and barbecue corner. The villa’s owners are passionate about landscaping, and as a result the Villa is surrounded by an extensive Mediterranean garden, with vast green lawn areas bordered by aromatic thyme, rose and lavender bushes. Yet the highlight of the property’s outdoor area is the dazzling infinity pool, with its wooden deck and seemingly floating lounging area separating the main pool from the children’s pool, designed for ultimate relaxation at all hours. The villa can accommodate up to 6 guests in 3 bedrooms. The master bedroom is located on the ground floor, with a king size bed, an adjacent bathroom and a large, furnished private patio. A staircase leads to the first floor, where there are two more bedrooms: one with a large double bed and one with two twin beds that can be attached. Each of the first floor bedrooms has a private balcony offering lovely views, while they share a large bathroom with a walk-in shower. Beds are comfortable, with high quality mattresses and crisp, high thread-count bed linens. Bathrooms are well laid-out and stocked with premium bath amenities, hairdryers, slippers, robes and fluffy towels.
