Tucked away at the end of a private path, Villa Marat blends organic architecture with understated elegance in the Cretan hills. Built from local stone and natural materials, its soft ochre tones and Mediterranean planting create a calm, grounded atmosphere. Inside, wood-beamed ceilings and polished oak floors frame thoughtfully curated interiors, where tactile furnishings and curved walls evoke a sense of warmth and ease. Oversized windows flood the space with natural light and frame sweeping views of the sea.

Spread over three levels, the villa accommodates up to eight guests across four tranquil en-suite bedrooms. The layout is designed for both connection and privacy, with generous shared spaces and quiet corners. A vintage-style kitchen sits beneath a graceful archway, while the dining room, with its raw-edged wooden table, sets the scene for lingering candlelit meals. A wine cellar, stocked with local bottles and the owners’ own, and a light-filled gym complete the indoor offering.

Outside, the pace slows amid olive groves and flowering fruit trees. Two swimming pools, one for adults, one shallow for children, are set beside an emerald lawn, with daybeds shaded by wooden pergolas. Guests can gather around the stone-built outdoor kitchen, complete with a wood oven and a monastery-style table, or explore the organic garden for fresh ingredients. Enveloped by three hectares of unspoilt landscape, Villa Marat offers a seamless blend of comfort, privacy and natural beauty.

What Oliver loves...

  • The villa’s wine cellar, filled with local Cretan wines and bottles lovingly produced by the owners!
  • Outdoor kitchen and monastery-style dining table, ideal for gathering with friends and family over a Greek feast.
  • A peaceful countryside setting with organic gardens, yet close to Chania’s vibrant harbour and historic old town.

What you should know

  • The closest supermarket is 1.5kms away from the villa
  •  Car rental is recommended
  • While the villa is child-friendly, the grounds include a large pool and natural landscaping, so supervision is essential for younger children.
  • Access to the nearest beach requires a short drive, although the scenery along the way is delightful.
