The splendid villa Danae is newly built in the Plaka region. Five elegant bedrooms ensure that ten persons can enjoy an incomparable luxury holiday surrounded by every comfort. Looking out over the Elounda Gulf across to the island of Spinalonga, villa Danae makes the most of its prime position. Its stone exterior sits harmoniously against the hilly backdrop. Three storeys are set gently into the slope, embracing the panoramic views as they go.

On the ground level is the private infinity pool, sunk into a large, silvery stone terrace. The architectural design feels blissfully secluded, with views opening up from every angle. To one side your outdoor barbecue area stands ready to serve; to the other a covered dining area gives welcome shade, while its open sides leave the seascape undisturbed. Enjoy an afternoon siesta on the comfy loungers or chic day bed, then wake up refreshed and ready to make the most of long evenings and warm, starry nights.

The open plan kitchen, dining and living area is fitted out perfectly. The elegant and modern art, creates a sophisticated backdrop for an evening gathering. The high-spec kitchen makes rustling up a meze feast a dream, while the wine fridge ensures those glasses never run dry. Throw open the patio doors to enjoy the spectacular view

Any of these five rooms give place to pause. Classy and sophisticated decor softens the spirit, while the marble ensuite keeps you refreshed in the Jacuzzi bath. Slipping into a robe and slippers, grab your glass of wine and make yourself the most comfortable. The three lower ground rooms open into the internal garden with the sea beyond, while the two first floor rooms have their own sea-facing balconies, so you’re sure to find your own sweet spot.

Your days here can be gratifying. A plunge in the pool, a refreshing hamam or gym workout perhaps? Ramble into nearby Plaka. This tiny fishing village has an authentic Greek traditional appeal and hosts an alluring option of tavernas and markets. The local culture and hospitality are absolutely heartwarming.
