The property is a luxurious villa of 420 m with a large pool, located just a few meters from the sea in the Elounda area near the village of Plaka. It is part of a complex of 7 villas and its own secluded private beach. The stone-paved driveway leads through the 2,150 sqm well-kept garden to this beautiful 420 sqm villa. From almost every point there is a panoramic view of the famous Spinalonga Island, Elounda Bay and Mirabello Bay. Outside there are pergolas, terraces, a covered dining area, a private barbecue area, a swimming pool (with storage space underneath) and a large basement garage under the house. The residence has three levels and was designed with a focus on sustainability by combining modern technologies with the design rules of traditional vernacular architecture. Passive features such as unit orientation, cross ventilation, use of heavy heat-retaining materials and shading are combined with solar panels, water collection tanks and finally a "smart home" system to control the internal environment. The middle level of the villa, which is also the entrance level, houses all internal and external social uses. Supporting areas such as the kitchen serve both indoor and outdoor living with equal ease. This level, which lies between the other two, more private levels, creates a direct connection between the two areas. There is also an internal garden with plants and an open ceiling that protects the ground floor and brings more outdoor space and natural light into the apartment. On the lower level there are 2 bedrooms with private bathrooms, another living room, the staff room, the gym, the sauna, the hammam and the laundry room.
