Villa Lyra

A couple’s retreat, everything about Villa Lyra is beautiful and romantic! With spectacular views from every window and opening, as well as a stunning panoramic view from the terrace, it is impossible not to be impressed. This beautiful one-bedroom property offers all the privacy and style you could want for a peaceful holiday in Crete, it truly is your own private paradise.

Villa Lyra has been designed with a careful balance of indoor and outdoor living, with one leading to the other with ease. When you arrive, the entire villa is on one level, with a wheelchair-friendly pathway leading from the carpark, through beautiful gardens and eventually to the living space. With an emphasis on outdoor living, even whilst you are inside the views become picture frames on your walls, with sunlight flooding into each corner of the property, enlivening the space.

The innovative design of this stunning property means the living and sleeping areas are in two separate buildings with a beautiful walkway guiding you between the two, promoting a constant connection to the outdoors. The living area is modern and sophisticated, with natural stone features that tie the villa into the surroundings. The entire space is open-plan, with a contemporary kitchen, fully-equipped for your use, a beautiful informal dining area and a cosy seating area. The space has a warm and welcoming feel, with picture frame windows capturing a different view each time. When you slide open the patio doors, the entire living space opens out into the sun, combining the indoor and outdoor so you can meander between the two.

The master bedroom feels like a luxury suite, with an award-winning double bed and a glass partition separating the sleeping space and dressing area. The modern bathroom has a large bathtub where you can relax and gaze out to the wonderful sea views – a real treat!   

The true magic of this villa really comes alive when you step back outside, where the terrace shoots out from the hilltop, almost as though the glistening water of the swimming pool is trying to greet the sea on the horizon. A pergola has been positioned over a section of the pool and the adjacent seating area, dappling the light and offering moments of shade from the Cretan sunshine. With luxury sun loungers and plenty of seating, it often feels like there is no reason to go back inside! Villa Lyra is a slice of paradise, a truly special property where you can create unforgettable memories with your loved one.
