Helen

The Concept: Family sanctuary

Standing on 3 hectares of olive groves, orchards and lush green lawns atop a hill with views of the crystal-clear sea and the White Mountains of Crete, Villa Helen is a luxury Crete villa for 8 guests offering privacy and abundant space for indoor and outdoor fun. Just a 3-minute drive from the beach, Helen balances comfort, elegant interiors, well-designed outdoor facilities and modern amenities, complemented by discreet services. A calm, family-friendly base.

Outdoors

Step out on your terrace, which offers two swimming pools—one heated for adults and one for children—and endless views of the sea and the surrounding nature. Enjoy laid-back days at the large outdoor lounge, savoring the sea breeze, and prepare Mediterranean meals on the wood-burning BBQ. Beyond the pool terrace, amid gardens and olive groves, you'll find lush lawns for a quiet read and a playground for the children to enjoy, shaping easy, all-day outdoor living.

Indoors

An open-plan living area welcomes guests on arrival, where a comfortable corner sofa around the large fireplace and high, vaulted ceilings create a warm, sophisticated space. The large dining table beside the sofa and a sound system set the scene for dinner parties with fine Greek wine, stored in the villa’s wine cellar. All four bedrooms feature quality mattresses and bedding for restful sleep, and a well-equipped gym on the lower level helps you stay in shape during your stay.

Good to know

Beyond the manicured gardens of your luxury Crete villa, a short drive connects you with the world-renowned charm of the island’s western coast. In about 2 minutes you can reach Kolymarvi Beach for a swim, and the Old Town of Chania—with restaurants, small bars, museums and distinctive architecture—is roughly a 20-minute drive, so days by the sea flow easily into evenings in town.
