Crete
Home > Cottages > Exi EstateBoasting a private pool, tennis court, a huge garden on the eastern coast of Crete, Exi Estate is a little slice of heaven on the waterfront of the Mediterranean Sea.
These superb living spaces encapsulate the spirit of the island, with rich colourful artwork throughout, antique furniture and countless casual, welcoming spaces. Your incredible main living room features sophisticated sofas in front of a 600-year-old working fireplace, with elegant patio doors all around the room. Alongside this is an incredible library, where a Steinway grand piano sits amid a fantastic collection of books. Your magnificent kitchen is fully equipped and a joy to use, with sea and mountain views across three sides of it – ideal for those who enjoy time spent preparing meals. But if you’d rather not, you can hire the services of our chef, who would be delighted to whip up a range of delicious meals for you to enjoy at this impressive dining room that oozes grandeur, also with direct access to a large open terrace! There is an additional kitchen, living room and dining area in the garden house to add that extra bit of space. Finally, the lower ground floor opens out directly onto your waterfront terrace, where you’ll find a fantastic games room, equipped with a pool table, and a large satellite TV in front of the spacious sofa, as well as a door straight into the pool terrace.
The first three bedrooms can be found on the top floor of the villa, including the master suite, a double room and a twin room. The master bedroom is a true masterpiece, with a king-size bed, a private balcony overlooking the turquoise sea, and an en-suite shower room and a separate Jacuzzi bathroom. Alongside this is the double room, also with a king-size bed, a balcony with sea views and an en-suite bathroom, and the twin room similarly has an en-suite bathroom and a balcony looking out across the olive groves of the garden and the mountains beyond! Three more rooms are located on the lower ground floor, including two twin rooms in the same suite, with a shared living space, bathroom and terrace, and one double room, adjoining living space, en-suite bathroom and large terrace. The final bedrooms are located in the garden house, with one twin and one double, each with an en-suite bathroom.
Patios surround the house on nearly every level, leading from nearly every room, putting the sunshine, fresh air and sea-breeze just seconds away at any point in the villa! The centrepiece is surely this incredible 12-by-6 metre infinity pool which stretches towards the twinkling horizon of the sea! Lining the pool are countless loungers for sunbathing in paradise, while olive groves throughout the garden add a sense of the natural world which envelopes you in this dream-like location. Dine alfresco at this incredibly picturesque table beside the pool, or the even more sophisticated one on the upper terrace! Enjoy a game of tennis on this private court, or even a round of Boules on the adjacent court.
Another spectacular yet unusual feature is the picturesque Greek Orthodox Chapel found at the end of the garden. It boasts panoramic sea views, and it makes the perfect setting for those who wish to have an authentic Greek wedding!
At the bottom of the garden, you can enjoy a superb sunbathing platform just above the sea, with a staircase right into it! The Porto Elounda Golf and Spa Resort is just a kilometre away, while we can even arrange for in-house tennis and swimming lessons if you fancy working on your skills. Just a 10-minute drive away from Elounda, a glamorous spot on the coast, you’re ideally placed to enjoy an unforgettable stay in an ideal location!
