Villa Senses can be found nestling in the rocky hillside amongst the olive trees close to the fishing village of Elounda. Its position high up above the Bay of Mirabello is nothing short of dramatic and the views are breathtaking down to Elounda and across to the island of Spinalonga in the distance. Sit and watch the boats as they ply their way around the island or just soak up the Cretan sunshine from this magical spot.
The villa is reached up a short drive to a parking area and then by private elevator to the pool area or by a flight of steps to the same level.
Very modern in design the owner has cleverly used wood, glass and natural stone to its maximum effect, ensuring a very light airy feel to the villa and complementing the views from every room.
The lower floor comprises of an air-conditioned open plan living area with a modern well fitted kitchen, which has dishwasher, microwave and washing machine. This leads into the comfortably furnished lounge/dining room which has decorative fireplace in the corner, satellite TV (limited English channels), DVD and CD player. Floor to ceiling patio doors stretch almost the width of the room leading out to a spacious balcony that overlooks the sea and the islands beyond. An air-conditioned double bedroom with stonewall feature leads off from the living area, this once again has the same views as the lounge and adjacent to this is a full family bathroom.
Stairs lead up to the first floor and to an air-conditioned double and twin bedroom, both with balconies and those wonderful views. Each of these bedrooms shares a stunning bathroom with double vanity unit, separate shower cubicle and large hydro massage bath.
The villa is air-conditioned throughout at no extra charge.
Outside there is a shaded area with table and chairs for al-fresco dining and then steps lead down to the pool area and small garden, which has sun loungers, umbrellas and a hammock. The 9 metre free form pool, which has a depth of 1.5 metres, takes pride of place to the front of the property. This has a Jacuzzi feature and is just a perfect place to sip a cool drink and watch the magnificent sunsets over the Bay of Mirabello.
Due to the villas elevated position a group C (not automatic) vechicle or above is recommended and owing to the number of steps and different levels, we do not feel that this villa is suitable for young children, the elderly or the infirm.
