In the timeless embrace of Venerato Village, this sublime villa unfolds as a bespoke retreat, where contemporary refinement meets the poetry of Cretan authenticity. Outdoors, 350m² of curated living space unfolds like a countryside retreat, designed for languid days and luminous evenings under the Cretan sky. At its heart lies a 35m² infinity pool (1.50m depth, non-heated), its horizon merging effortlessly with panoramic landmark views. A dedicated 5m² children’s pool ensures younger guests are equally considered, while a sunken lounge area within the pool, complemented by a fire pit, sets the stage for golden-hour cocktails and intimate twilight conversations. Beneath a shaded dining pavilion, long alfresco feasts become ritual. The fully equipped outdoor grill station, complete with Gas BBQ, mini-fridge, sink, and generous preparation space, invites unhurried private dining experiences in the open air.
