Villa Persefoni

Imagine this. You open your eyes to the morning views of the Libyan Sea and Gavdos Island, you slide open the windows with just a simple stroke of your hand, and the crisp sea breeze hits your face. You take a few steps and dive into the infinity pool while watching the sunrise. There is no one around you, and you hear only the sounds of nature. You are exactly where you dreamt of, in a world of your own.

Nestled on the side of a mountain in southern Crete, on a 2266 sqm plot, Villa Persefoni enjoys an idyllic setting while being just a quick drive from Saktouria village, the seaside resort of Agia Galini and the beach of Agios Pavlos. Effortlessly blending modern architecture and comfortable family living, this off-plan villa is split across two levels, featuring 143 sqm of living space. Rooms are bright and sun filled, incorporating an open plan floor plan with a living and dining room, a kitchen as well as four bedrooms and four bathrooms. Outdoors, there is a beautifully landscaped terrace and sun lounging area to enjoy the panorama.

The developer’s intention is to seamlessly integrate historical heritage with a contemporary architectural concept. Elements of local tradition and historical heritage will be thoughtfully incorporated, demonstrating respect for the natural environment and the terrain’s topography. The element of agricultural exploitation of older years – such as old threshing floors, dry stones, old small buildings (koumi), and small picturesque paths is diffused strongly throughout the area.

Location

Located in the peaceful municipality of Agios Vassilios, approx. 50 km to the south of Rethymnon, you’ll find the village of Saktouria. This village promises an extraordinary experience of relaxation and tranquility, offering a unique getaway.

Just a quick drive away, nestled within a sheltered bay, lies the exquisite organized beach of Agios Pavlos. Remarkably, this beach has retained its pristine beauty over time, remaining unspoiled by the passage of years. A short distance from the main beach, on the western edge, you’ll discover one of the Libyan Sea’s hidden gems – the Dunes of Agios Pavlos, also known as Atsalogremni by the locals. This beach boasts an extraordinary geography, featuring caves and majestic dunes that rise from the depths to create a stunning surface. It exudes a serene energy, setting a romantic mood and providing the perfect spot to witness the famous sunset.

Within this picturesque landscape, specifically in the Apoplystra area, you’ll encounter captivating and vibrant geological formations – multicolored folds and limestone slabs. These remarkable formations, combined with the Dunes, have even been proposed for inclusion on the list of global natural wonders.

Last but not least, the villa’s location ensures convenient access to both Chania International Airport and Heraklion International Airport, which are 100 km and 90 km away, respectively.
