Villa Lotos

Property summary

In the midst of a majestic natural environment, on a plot of 800 sqm, this villa becomes the center of attention. A true landmark in endless olive groves scenery in the Messara valley, to be built on the outskirts of the picturesque village of Kamilari, in Southern Crete.

The placement of the villa provides uninterrupted views of the horizon and sea views from the upper floor. The design aims to balance the ratio between the main living area (83,29 sqm), which is divided over two floors, and the exterior areas.

White-beige earthy tones, smooth architectural lines, an elaborate play of forms and volumes comprises the overall design, interior and exterior spaces merging seamlessly to offer pleasant and relaxing experiences. Thoughtful details both inside and outside — such as perfectly set natural stone and microcement finishes, create a sense of premium quality that combines Cretan simplicity and comfort with a contemporary feel.

With its variety of outdoor areas and spacious interiors, it can offer unique summer experiences even to a larger group of guests. Verandas, pergolas, terraces and lush surrounding fields with local plants create different degrees of privacy all around the property. A wide white staircase makes the way to the swimming pool  (6 x 4 m) which stands out at the front of the villa. Sun beds and sittings spaces, covered and un-covered, provide ample room for outdoor relaxation, with many different spots where you can enjoy your leisure time during different hours of the day.

Big openings provide natural light treatment, instant access to the villa and views of the surroundings even when sitting indoors. The ground floor consists of a stylish living with open-plan kitchen (20 sqm) along with a bathroom and a bedroom. Through an internal staircase, you get to the upper floor, where the master bedroom is located. Beautifully positioned on both sides, you can walk out to the two pergola-covered verandas, which feel like an extension of the interior.

A sleek carport of 38 sqm serves the accessibility to the villa.
