Pleiades Luxurious Villas ★★★★★

With its glorious climate, archaeological sites, beaches and cuisine, Crete is a sparkling jewel in the Mediterranean. Pleiades Villas are found at the top of a winding road, just outside the charming fishing village of Elounda and the port of Agios Nikolaos, known as the Saint Tropez of Crete. The town is known for the salt-water lake that sits right in the middle of the action, along with its charm, tavernas and pretty marina. This will be your starting point to discover the whole region, overflowing with attractions and appeal.

The resort is an elegant collection of nine luxury individual villas, each with its own private pool, that brings together all that is good and beautiful about the island. The location is simply breath-taking, with heart-stopping views over the Mirabello Gulf and of the mountains across the bay. Inside, the décor goes beyond the naive simplicity that characterises the traditional Cretan style. Designer Olivia Siskou has preserved the sense of space, light and purity of the classic Greek aesthetic and added a touch of refinement and texture that elevates the villas beyond the norm.

You will find that your villa is thoughtfully designed to make the most of a shared holiday experience , with enough space for a little time alone. Each bedroom - elegant and sizeable - has its own marble-clad bathroom and a comfy armchair for cosying up in with a book. The open lounge, meanwhile, throws wide its doors onto our private terrace, blurring the lines between inside and out, a feat which the glorious weather makes all the easier. Out on the deck, comfortable sun loungers and wicker armchairs wait in the shade of a parasol, beside the glittering infinity pool that stretches towards the sea.

With excellent service and privacy in equal measure, the Pleiades Villas makes for one of the most exceptional holidays it will ever be your misfortune to experience!
