About this property

Magnificent Elounda Private Seaside Estate

Privacy is the key word - private infinity pool, private sea access, private Davis Cup sized tennis court, private chapel, private boules court and private Relais et Chateau chef (upon request). The estate has magnificent grounds with sculptures, olive groves, bountiful local flowers, a protected Roman tank and multiple places to sit and take in the natural beauty. The main house is luxurious yet very much a family home.

This vast six-bedroom villa is filled with artwork. It also boasts a games room with antique billiards table and a library with a grand piano. The living room is surrounded by sea views and also has a six hundred year old fireplace. Each of the six bedrooms in the main house has an en suite bathroom and private balcony or terrace. The two-bedroom cottage, nestled under the tennis court, is 65m away and perfect for a small family. With its amazing style and incredible sea views, Villa Olous is a one of a kind family estate and holiday paradise.

About the host

Hosted by Mary Callahan

Host profile image
We are from the USA but have lived in London for many years. We came to Crete in 1998 and fell in love with its culture, people and natural beauty. We bought the untouched land by the sea immediately and my husband and I built this wonderful residence. It was supposed to be a modest 3 bedroom villa but we got totally carried away. However we feel that we created something quite magnificent. We all sincerely hope that you love our home as much as we do and that you can have a memorable Cretan holiday....

Why they chose this property

We saw the land on our very first trip to Crete in 1998. Love struck at first sight. Unable to resist the clear blue sea, endless sky and breathtaking mountains we decided to build a house. Originally envisioned as a modest three bedroom villa by the sea, we got carried away but created something that we think is quite magnificent.

What makes this property unique

Villa Olous is an unusually luxurious house built with a great attention to detail and respect for Crete's natural beauty. The home reflects our love for art, design, music and travel.
