This beautiful modern villa is set in an elevated position on a hillside a little over a mile outside Elounda, an upscale resort on the northeast coast about an hour east of Iraklion. (Some very exclusive hotels are nearby.) The property features a large private pool surrounded by a sun terrace. Both the villa and the pool area enjoy superb panoramic views across the Gulf of Olous (site of the ancient sunken city of Olous) toward the Thriptis Mountains. On a clear day you can see over 40 miles of coastline from the villa. The sunsets and sunrises are spectacular. In Elounda, you will find a good selection of restaurants, tavernas, and cafe/bars. Car rental is essential, not only because of the private position of the villa, but also to enable you to explore the local area, from the beaches to the inland mountains.
The villa is fully air conditioned, attractively furnished in contemporary style, and includes 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms (one with a Jacuzzi tub), spacious living room, dining area, and fully equipped modern kitchen. TV, fireplace, Internet connection. The pool area has a hammock and comfortable sun loungers. Parking.
