Concept: Modern Chania Villa
Olena is a unique loft-style vacation home with exceptional sea views, perfect for exploring the west side of Crete. The villa is 1 of 2 luxury Crete villas both totally autonomous, with modern design and high-end amenities both inside and out. On a hill overlooking the historic town of Chania and the Sea of Crete, this splendid designer property sleeps 6 guests. The villa is located in Sodi, a residential area just 6 km from the historic Old Venetian Harbor in Chania. This beautiful town is vibrant with local life, feel the authentic Crete as you take an evening stroll in the lanes and have dinner at a waterside restaurant by the harbor, and then return the short distance to your secluded luxury vacation home Olena.
Outdoors
This modern 3-level vacation villa features huge windows facing out to the pool terrace and the sea beyond, and private sea and pool view balconies on the upper-level bedrooms. The terrace is made in local granite stone, with a wooden pool deck by your private swimming pool. There are comfy outdoor armchairs, and an alfresco eating area with a BBQ for the private chef to cook your Cretan feast. The pool has a shallow part for floating and suntanning, and there are beanbag sun loungers to lie back on and enjoy a drink with those stunning views for company.
Indoors
