Description
The property positions most interior spaces to take in the sea views, while most of them opening directly onto the spacious terrace. The open-plan living, dining, and kitchen area is bright and inviting, with an atrium that fills the interior with natural light. A heated infinity pool, multiple sitting spots, an alfresco dining space with a kitchenette and a jacuzzi create a place built to enjoy outdoor living from morning to night - all in line with the horizon.
Automated double-glazed shutters, AC and a solar boiler ensure comfort across all seasons. The owners have recently installed a large-scale photovoltaic system, significantly reducing energy costs while prioritising the minimisation of the villa’s ecological footprint.
Villa Eolos was built with a minimalist design, using exposed stone, wood, and plaster finishes, ensuring it blends naturally with the surrounding countryside.
Rental potential
This villa provides an advantageous option for accommodating larger groups in southern Crete, near Plakias, where the availability of larger 4-bedroom villas is limited. With Crete boasting the longest holiday season of all Greek islands—especially in the south—demand for villa rentals remains high from early April through November. It is worth noting that the villa has a successful track record as a rental and is in high demand for bookings in the upcoming season.
Location - distances
Located about 30 km from Rethymno and 4.5 km from Plakias, the charming mountain village of Mariou serves as an excellent base for exploring Crete’s southern coastline, known for its stunning mountain peaks, dramatic gorges, and beautiful sandy beaches. Winding roads connect the coastal towns, allowing access to magical beaches nestled among the dunes in a breathtaking natural setting.
