Elation Villas- LaMer

Perched on a hillside along the beautiful north-west coast of Crete close to the town of Kissamos, Elation Villas offer panoramic views of the Gramvousa peninsula and clear blue waters of Kissamos Bay, with the White Mountains to the south providing a spectacular backdrop. The gated property is surrounded by lush olive groves and endemic flora, including thyme and rosemary. Three of the villas are built around an old Chapel which dominates the hilltop while others cascade down into the foothills. The largest of the villas in the complex above Kissamos Bay, La Mer truly embraces the concept of Cretan coastal living.

A sister villa of Charm, yet with an extra bedroom of the first floor, La Mer is ideal for friends and couples to stay together, or for family groups. With a natural stone terrace which fronts of the property, the villa enjoys a private infinity pool plastered with a characteristic Cimentogonia surface and full-width Roman steps. Access is via the ground floor to a spacious living space and to an open plan kitchen with Corian work surfaces and the latest appliance, where there is also an informal dining area. Structured over two distinct floors, with large windows maximising the natural light, a free-standing metal staircase leads to the master bedroom and en-suite bathroom with bath. Wall-to-wall windows offer uninterrupted views of the Aegean Sea along with the additional feature of a large balcony and outdoor seating space. The first floor guest bedroom is accessible through an outdoor staircase, while the ground floor double/twin bedroom has a separate entrance and opens onto the terrace. It also has an en-suite bathroom with a walk-in Spa shower area. A perfect base for trips to the beach, exploring the coastline and inland villages, or heading off for supper at a local tavern, La Mer is also a fun property for barbeques on the outdoor dining area, accompanied by a selection of the fine Cretan wines we provide from the on-site cellar. At Elation villas the owners are locals and they know everyone around. Their on-site host will assist you in organizing different experiences while you stay with them. Take advantage of their complementary guest concierge service.
