Crete – Olive Tree

A contemporary beachfront home that celebrates indoor-outdoor living.

This property is part of a luxury development of two spacious independent villas situated in a four acres piece of land in an olive grove with more than 100 olive trees, overlooking the beautiful Loutraki bay and with a lovely view on the spectacular White Mountains. Tucked amidst an olive-grove and a short walk from a tranquil sandy beach with crystal-clear waters, this villa is a contemporary 3 bedroom retreat that epitomizes the concept of indoor-outdoor living. Rather that following the norm, the architect decided to juxtapose the rugged landscape with a bold modern structure that resulted into two geometric residences of stone, glass and steel. The houses are fitted with terraces, verandas and gardens equipped with comfortable lounge and dining areas, swimming pools and luxuriant details such as outdoor jakuzzis, all with views to the bay below. The concept of indoor-outdoor living translated into a structure with massive sliding doors that connect the indoor spaces to the landscape and create the illusion of living in nature. The interior features open, lofty spaces with minimal furniture, all in shades of wood and sand. There is no need for ornaments here -nature is the focal point in all the rooms. As a result, the rooms are soothing and comfortable with few, substantial pieces that enhance the experience of living in constant contact with nature.
