ELEANOR VILLA, ELOUNDA

Eleanor is one of three gorgeous modern villas that compose a newly built waterfront complex in Elounda’s Plaka village

With views over the Elounda Gulf to the island of Spinalonga, Villa Eleanor makes the most of its remarkable position. Its stone façade contrasts well with the steep backdrop, and its three levels gradually blend into the slope, absorbing the beautiful scenery along the way.

Italian hardwood floors and sophisticated furniture adorn the expansive open kitchen and living room on the main level. The kitchen is a gleaming white with a wine fridge on the opposite side for a refreshing drink of vino while the stunning sea view from the living room’s plush couches will let you unwind. It will be difficult to choose between the six master suites, each of which is elegant, cozy, and air-conditioned. The marble ensuites with hot tubs provide unique rejuvenating sensations, while the ultra-comfortable super-king beds guarantee that you awake refreshed

There are several modern comforts, such as an elevator to all levels, central heating, and a smart home system, but what sets this property apart is the internal garden with an open ceiling to the other floors, which not only provides enough natural light but also radiates lush cheerful aura.

Outside, your private infinity pool blends into  Elounda gulf, with the glass fence allowing views of the surrounding nature and Spinalonga. The spacious  terrace adorned with olive and locust trees, as well as indigenous vegetation, will undoubtedly provide a taste of Greece’s distinctive landscape. The covered outdoor kitchen and dining area, as well as the gas barbeque, will provide you with beautiful culinary experiences.

With this villa’s abundance of facilities, you’ll never want the day to arrive when you’ll have to get up and go. However, if you wish to venture outside, the little fishing village of Plaka, it is just a short walk away, while Elounda is only a ten-minute drive. Beautiful beaches await you to enjoy the crystal clear blue waters. Take a boat excursion to Spinalonga and immerse yourself in the island’s heartbreaking history. Visit the ruins of Olous and the spectacular Kolokytha beach, before stopping for lunch at one of the area’s taverns, to savor the region’s renowned Mediterranean food.

The unique combination of breathtaking views, Cretan charm, modern comforts, complete seclusion, and luxury elevates this villa to an exclusive vacation destination for even the most sophisticated traveler.
