Askianos I - Private Patio & Endless Views | Villa in Listaros
2 Bedroom Villa in Mires, Listaros
Summary:
Set in southern Crete, where the Libyan Sea meets the Messara Plain and the peaks of Mount Psiloritis, Villa I offers a unique retreat with sweeping panoramic views.
Spread across two levels, the villa features multiple spaces designed for relaxation, privacy, and effortless indoor-outdoor living, creating an unforgettable setting for your Cretan escape.
The Space:
The award-winning ASKIANOS Villas are set on the southern edge of the Asterousia Mountains, the southernmost mountain range in Europe, where the Libyan Sea, the fertile Messara Plain, and the peaks of Mount Psiloritis meet on the horizon.
The complex received the Silver Design Award 2023 at the prestigious A’ Design Award & Competition, in recognition of its architectural approach. Inspired by Cretan-Venetian architecture, ASKIANOS combines natural materials, handcrafted traditional textiles, and contemporary comforts, creating homes that are deeply connected to the landscape and heritage of southern Crete.
Villa I stands out for the sense of space and freedom it offers. Arranged over two levels, it allows guests to experience the home in different ways and at their own pace, whether travelling as a couple, a family, or two couples of friends.
The heated private pool, the sunken terrace with panoramic views, and the various outdoor lounging areas create a collection of distinct experiences within the same residence. Some guests choose to spend the afternoon by the pool, while others enjoy the sunset from the sunken terrace, as the changing light transforms the landscape each day.
Guests often highlight the breathtaking views, the quality of the amenities, and the attention to detail. These are features designed not to impress for the sake of it, but to make every stay genuinely comfortable and relaxing.
A place created for experiencing southern Crete at your own pace, in every season of the year.
