A true landmark of high aesthetic, privacy and breathtaking vistas to the endless blue, nestled among Crete's endless olive groves.
As the site has unobstructed views to the sea, the intention is to create a residence which maximises the visual connection to the sea. Along the whole villa, towards the north, stretches the open-air landscaped area, divided into two levels. In front of the common areas is the covered outdoor seating area and the swimming pool; canopies offer protection from sun during the summer.
The villa's interior areas are L-shaped, literally embracing the outdoor area as a central point. It's also taking the pool experience to a whole new level. Enjoy the panorama while seated at the specially designed outdoor lounges or catch the sun on the wooden deck.
The living areas are designed and developed along the view line, making full use of its potential. Large openings allow natural light to penetrate the interior, adding thermal efficiency during the winter period. The domination of earthy tones and its combination with contemporary materials highlight the form and the simplicity of the design.
The villa covers a total of 229 sqm, on a plot of 983 sqm. It enjoys an open plan kitchen with high-end finishes and a stylish bar-stand which becomes the focal point. This area connects seamlessly with the dining area and the living room. This level is also flanked by an en-suite bedroom, oriented towards east. A stairway links the two levels. Downstairs, there are two secluded bedrooms with fitted wardrobes and en-suite bathrooms as well as a storeroom. Both bedrooms lead out to a shared verandah with breathtaking views to the coastline of Platanias and the Mediterranean Sea.
A sleek wooden carport provides shelter for two cars and a nicely done pathway serves the accessibility to the villa.

Location
The villa enjoys a privileged location surrounded by endless olive trees and vineyards. The village of Xamoudochori lies 20 km west of Chania, on a plateau at 110 m. above sea level. Stunning views towards the northern coastline of Crete and the endless blue of the Aegean Sea, as well as to the White Mountains to the south.
A perfect base to explore western Crete, a “repertoire” of numerous pebbly and sandy beaches, archeological sights and stunning nature. Refresh yourself away from the crowds while you enjoy the livelier, more cosmopolitan lifestyles of Platanias and Maleme whenever you want.
Platanias - The famous beach resort of Platanias is just a 10-minute drive. The old village is built on a hillside with fantastic view of the sea. The beach of Platanias is a lovely long beach where you can find everything that is provided on well organised beaches, as beach bars, sun beds, watersports etc. On the east side of the local harbor, close to Agia Marina, you can enjoy swimming in the several small artificial coves. During summer nights, there is a wide gamut of bars and night clubs if you want to go the extra mile.
Maleme - The beach of Maleme is just a 5-minutes drive. It's part of the continuous beach of 16 kms from Chania city to Kolymbari village. An ideal place for sun tanning, relaxing and romantic evenings watching the sunset. A blue-flag award winner. Parts of the beach are organised but there also quieter parts where you can enjoy the sea in serenity. Moreover, there are many sea view restaurants, tavernas and bars to taste some local treats.
Chania town is just a 20-minute drive and the airport is 40 minutes away. There is easy access to the National Road which is only about a 10 minutes drive.
Crete, and especially the Chania area, is famous for its exotic places, cultural cradles (especially in the Old Town) and Cretan cuisine. The Cretan folk tradition is often imprinted on the local art (weaving, pottery, wood carving, etc.) and on the artistic expression of the locals in general.The most famous natural landmarks are the White Mountains and the Samaria Gorge, as well as the coastal and mountain villages.
