Overview
Pearched on the north west coast of Crete, Villa Orion has breathtaking views across the Mirabello gulf. The villa is situated in a boutique villa hotel complex, combining the privacy of a villa with the services of a hotel. It's the perfect place to chill out and recharge.
Spread across two floors this three bedded villa is both stylish and comfortable. It has a large living area and ultra modern kitchen. Evenings can be spent eating al fresco by the stunning curved pool and enjoying those amazing views. The master and two twin bedrooms all have en-suite bathrooms. For those wanting to work out the house has a small private gym and, in cooler months, the pool, is heated. The villa also boasts a spa and steam bath. There is also a beach club a short walk away and a shuttle service to the local beach.
When you want to explore Crete's culture and history it's worth hiring a car. Elounda's quaint fishing village is close by or further afield you can visit the ancient palaces of Knossos or Heraklion Archelogical Museum.
Villa guests are offered a complimentary transfer to a nearby private beach club, which offers sunbeds, sun shades, beach towels and a food and drink menu.
What you should know…
- The villa is in an amazing spot, but to truly enjoy the island we recommend hiring a car to visit towns like Agios Nikolaos and ancient sites such as the Houses of Knossos
- Please note that the rates include daily breakfast, it is possible to upgrade to half board for an additional charge
