4 Bedroom Villa in Plaka
Enjoying a privileged position on an elevated hillside above the village of Plaka, Villa Elsa is blessed with sweeping 300 degree views over the seaside village of Almyrida to Souda Bay, the Akrotiri Peninsula, Aptera Castle, and The White Mountains. This light and airy villa remains the much loved second residence of a Scandavian couple who winter here every year, and is therefore incredibly well equipped with every possible amenity. With only one close neighbour (with a high wall), Villa Elsa affords an excellent degree of privacy to its guests, and yet is still within walking distance of the excellent local tavernas, shops and sandy beaches. It is very rare to find a pool on Crete that has any form of heating, which is a huge plus at the start and end of the season when the pools can be a little chilly. Guests at Villa Elsa are very fortunate to find that the larger than average swimming pool is heated to a minimum of 26 degrees (except in high season) and is therefore suited for swimming later and earlier in the season. An eclectic mix of modern décor and furnishings combine to make an attractive and pleasingly comfortable interior. The open plan living room is particularly spacious with wonderful bay views through the extra large windows and glass doors, which lead out onto the many furnished terraces. For families or large groups that have members who would like a little more privacy, there is a completely self-contained apartment on the ground floor. The apartment has a separate entrance but is only ever rented as one unit with the villa, not separately. The villa has a number of outdoor terraces which all enjoy the stunning views. Set on different levels, there are many seating areas with a choice of either sun or shade. Beautifully landscaped flowerbeds and rockeries have been colourfully planted with bougainvillea, jasmine, hibiscus, geraniums, daisies, cacti and different varieties of palm trees. The dining terrace and barbeque area are well furnished and shaded by a pergola made of local cypress wood and terracotta roof tiles. The land naturally drops off at the front of the pool terrace which faces west, and therefore has perfectly unspoiled views of the sea, the mountains, and the glorious sunsets that announce the warm summer nights that Crete is famous for.
