Villa Theseus

A stunning, breezy Cretan villa that perfectly blends old-world exteriors and fresh, open plan living. Perched atop a hillside and surrounded by nature, this peaceful villa is the perfect destination for a summer escape. Crumbling brick and natural white stone walls frame the white architecture that gleams in the Mediterranean sunshine, with decorative open sides.

Drink in the soaring mountain views and watch picture-perfect sunsets over the glittering sea. Greenery dotted with beautiful flora cascades down the hillside, while 'picture' windows provide captivating views in all directions and bathe the rooms in light.

Descend the Roman-style steps into the sparkling infinity pool and cool off from the sunshine in the refreshing aquamarine waters. There's plenty of room for the whole family to swim, float gracefully or splash around. The sunbeds provide the perfect place to relax and top up your tan or read a good book. The terrace is a fantastic spot for an alfresco dinner or fruity cocktail, with mesmerising views and intimate, cosy tables. A lovely pergola is the focal point of the dining area.

Climb the unique Cimentogonia staircase to reach two gorgeous bedrooms, decorated in a clean, minimal aesthetic. The master bedroom has an enviable sea view, while double beds that are convertible into twins are dressed in crisp white linen. Quirky crystal-like chairs perch beside them and colourful art adorns the walls.

The interesting furniture really adds a sense of drama, while feature walls of deep grey and punchy orange keep everything fresh. En-suite bathrooms with slick pink glass doors and cubby holes for towels are truly unique. In one bathroom, you'll even find a walk-in spa shower - so luxurious!

Open plan living with floor to ceiling windows keeps everything airy, where everyone can dine and relax together. The glossy, fully equipped kitchen is ideal for self-caterers, with stylish and practical Corian work surfaces, a breakfast bar and modern appliances. The living space has plush white sofas to unwind on and a flat-screen television for watching movies together. Tones of grey offset the minimal white theme, while pendant lighting and colourful art add charm and character.

At night, the villa is illuminated, and the pool takes on a beautiful jade green glow.
