Villa Zorba

Nestled brilliantly on the rocky Akrotiri peninsula coastline, overlooking the bay of Chania, the swanky, waterfront Villa Zorba offers five star luxury and plenty of the wow factor. With striking contemporary architecture, astounding use of different materials, stunning interior design like few others, trendy furnishings throughout and heavenly bedroom suites, guests staying in Villa Zorba will enjoy the holiday of their dreams. The villa is one of the most exclusive properties in the area, embracing the sea like no other and enjoying easy access to the spectacular Venetian harbour of the Old Town of Chania.

Sitting on a secluded, very private, premium plot of 4500 sqm, Villa Zorba sits within an untouched rocky landscape close to the charming village of Tersanas. Tersanas is a small, pretty coastal village, 13km northeast of Chania, hidden in a small cove on the west side of the Akrotiri peninsula. It is actually the harbour of the village of Chorafakia which is one kilometre to the north. Tersanas enjoys a fabulous sandy beach and two tavernas. Unspoilt by tourism, the Akrotiri peninsula is brimming with lovely sandy beaches, traditional local tavernas, ancient monasteries and stunning scenery. Chania Old Town is one of the most alluring, captivating towns of Crete. With picturesque, narrow alleys draped with colourful bouganivillea, a fabulous dining scene, atmospheric bars, the most amazing sunsets and gorgeous little boutiques lining the cobbled streets, an evening wander and dinner should not be missed. The airport is only 5km away from the villa so you will be relaxing in your holiday haven in no time at all!

Villa Zorba boasts four phenomenal bedroom suites, two stunning living spaces, one of which can be used as a fifth bedroom, stunning terraces and balconies, a very special, idyllic spot where you can disappear with your holiday book half-way down the rocky path to the sea and an outstanding infinity swimming pool. There is even a beautiful garden and lawn where you can relax in the shade. The villa was designed by a sea lover so three of the four bedroom suites and both living rooms enjoy full-on, breathtaking, panoramic sea views over the shimmering, turquoise bay. As soon as you arrive at Villa Zorba and take in the minimalist, trendy architecture and the manicured plot, you will realise that you are in for a real treat. It is a quality haven that even the most discerning of clients will fully embrace and appreciate. It is clear to see that no comprises have been made in the built and interior design and that it is the lifetime dream of the villa’s owner. You will relax in glorious style, enjoy delicious, chilled local wines and cocktails on the terraces, dine alfresco as the sun goes down, enjoy romantic sunsets, dive into the warm water of the infinity pool, amble down the rocky pathway to the sea to enjoy a swim in complete privacy and dive into deep slumber listening to the gentle sound of the waves.

The villa is built over two levels. The main living space is on the ground floor, a sumptuous, stylish space with trendy furnishings, a minimalist feel and drowned in natural light by the wall of glass doors that open to the terrace. With super cool designer leather sofas, sparkling floors and statement pieces, not to mention the stunning views, the room will make you smile for sure. The television, DVD’s and Bose music system are provided for your entertainment. The kitchen is one of your dreams with glossy white cabinetry, a central island and top-of-the-range appliances, all looking wonderful against the exposed stone wall. The designer dining table is like a work of art, so striking in its simplicity. Here you can dine with a view or head out to the terrace for a fabulous alfresco experience. One of the bedroom suites is also on the ground floor with direct access to the terrace and pool. It is a luxurious haven with the crispest of cottons, the most sublime of dreamy Dunlopillo mattresses and a striking stone wall that leads to a superb wellness shower.

Upstairs, you will discover another living area, similar in design to the lower one. With swanky furniture, it is another bright and super cool space that leads to another fabulous furnished terrace. Here you will find another television with Playstation 3 and lots of games as well as an excellent selection of books. The room can be closed by a massive wooden sliding door so that it can be used as an extra bedroom using the sofabeds. Two of the three bedroom suites on this level are seafront with the other still enjoying a sea view. They are all awe-inspiring with fabulously comfortable beds, minimalist design, brilliant white walls and the most fantastic ensuite bathrooms. One of the rooms was originally designed as two smaller bedrooms but the owner asked for the plans to be changed during construction resulting in a stunning space with a freestanding designer bath in the room. Here you can soak in style with a glass of champagne along with the most spectacular of vistas. The second seafront room also enjoys access to the upper floor terrace and boasts a wellness shower split from the room by a glass brick wall. At night the illuminated designer bedside tables offer a unique look. The last bedroom enjoys a view of the sea, the wild landscaping surrounding the villa and the White Mountains on the horizon. It boasts a sumptuous kingsize bed and a snail-shaped wellness shower with six jets. It is easy to see why the bedroom suites are all classed as masters! In addition, there is also another guest bathroom with a bath, shower and corian sink. This can be used by anyone staying in the second living space.

If the interiors are sublime, the outside spaces only get better! Exquisitely designed, there are numerous terraces, designer outdoor furnishings, a 50 sqm heated infinity pool with a children’s area, pergola covered alfresco lounge and dining spaces, a large sunbathing area near the pool with trendy wooden loungers and a special ‘dream area’ halfway down the pathway to the beach. Here you can disappear to laze on the twin designer sun lounger with your holiday book and a glass of something chilled. Alternatively, you can head for the upper terrace which also offers sun loungers. The Bose sound system also operates outside with a Bluetooth amplifier. Your barbecue masters will enjoy cooking summer feasts on the barbecue which can be followed by a glass of raki or ouzo that come with your welcome basket. For a salty private swim, you can head down the little path to jump into the inviting turquoise waters. Villa Zorba truly offers an amazing, privileged waterfront experience.
