Villa Orea is a one of a kind Cycladic luxury villa perched on the hilltop of Elounda. It therefor offers a uniquely stunning sea view over the Kalydon peninsula to the endless open sea, with the renowned Mirabello bay in the foreground. We chose this location specifically for its elevated position, assuring not only complete privacy from neighbours and curious tourists, but also for the unique view of the open sea, whereas most of the other villas only have a view on the Mirabello bay, as the "big blue" is blocked by the Kalydon peninsula. The state-of-the-art Cycladic style construction immerses you in the most picturesque Greek scenery. Thanks to its 2 separate buildings, the architecture successfully recreates the feeling of traditional Greek towns, with their narrow streets, white and blue houses and terraces either bathed in the Mediterranean sun or plunged in cool shadowy alleys. The 60 sqm infinity pool is heated from mid-October (heating is included in the rates). The outdoor areas, comprising 3 large terraces (pool, dining, rooftop terrace) and 4 small terraces, allow you to gather all together or retreat to a more cosy and quiet place. If you are looking forward to live the experience of an archetypal Greek holiday whilst enjoying top notch comfort and complete privacy, Villa Orea is definitely your place to stay. Elounda is known across the world as one of Greece's top celebrity destinations, offering a balanced mix of stunning seafront restaurants and typical Greek tavernas. The perfect place to enjoy unforgettable family holidays, a quiet yoga retreat or an unperturbed friends’ gathering.

We have fallen in love with Crete a long time ago. The island offers so much to do, visit and explore. From beaches to gorges, from breathtaking hikes to old monasteries, from ancient cities and historic sites to caves, without forgetting water activities like jet ski, boat rentals and excursions. But most of all, what struck us in Crete compared to the other Greek islands is how traditional many areas have remained and how forthcoming and joyfull the locals still are here. Besides, thanks to its 2 mountain ranges peaking over 2000 meters, the climate is always pleasant and the island is astonishingly green compared to the Cyclades. It was only a matter of time for us until we realised our dream, which we are now eager to share with you to hopefully propagate our passion for this amazing island and people.

The surroundings of villa Orea are very quiet, away from any tourist site. Only a few other villas are in the area, assuring you a really quiet and relaxing stay. The villa is not accessible from the main town roads, so no curious tourists ever get lost in the area. We chose this specific plot in Pines Elounda to build our villa because we wanted to have unobstructed breathtaking sea views as well as total privacy. Thanks to its higher location than most Elounda villas, Orea overlooks the Kalydon peninsula, making it one of the very few villas in Elounda an Plaka to provide views of the endless open sea with, the Mirabello bay in the foreground.
