A haven for large families or groups, Villa Octavia is a spacious and elegant retreat set on the shores of Elounda in Crete. Accommodating up to twelve guests, the villa embodies Mediterranean luxury across its expansive grounds, infinity pool, and beautifully designed interiors. Just 70 metres from the golden shoreline, Villa Octavia enjoys breathtaking panoramic views across the sea towards the historic island of Spinalonga. A sanctuary of beauty, space, and understated romance, Villa Octavia offers the perfect setting for an unforgettable escape on the Greek coast.
Spacious Interiors
Inside, the interiors are bright and spacious, defined by high beamed ceilings, clean architectural lines, elegant artwork, and a refined neutral palette accented with subtle pops of colour. On the ground floor, guests will discover a generous open-plan living area, framed by floor-to-ceiling glass doors that showcase breathtaking views of the Mediterranean and flood the space with natural light. The space is subtly divided by a hanging fireplace, with an elegant dining area on one side and an inviting lounge on the other. Spacious yet welcoming, it provides the perfect setting for both sophisticated dinner parties and relaxed family evenings. On the same level, a sleek olive-green, fully equipped kitchen offers a stylish space to prepare meals while enjoying views of the shimmering sea.
On the lower ground floor, a second living room and kitchen open directly onto the terrace, creating a serene retreat from the midday sun or enjoying a quiet moment away from the main living areas.
Five Tranquil Bedrooms
Accommodating up to twelve guests, Villa Octavia features five elegant en-suite bedrooms. Within the main villa, four beautifully appointed suites each offer a private bathroom and serene, thoughtfully designed interiors, creating the perfect retreat after a day of activity. The fifth bedroom is set within a separate guest house, discreetly tucked away in the gardens. Designed in a minimalist style, it features its own private bathroom and kitchenette, providing an added sense of privacy and independence.
Garden Oasis
Stepping outside, guests are immersed in a fragrant garden that delights all the senses. Positioned on the waterfront, the villa allows guests to enjoy the gentle ocean breeze as they wander through beautifully scented plants and lush foliage. Take a refreshing dip in the infinity pool while soaking in the glistening sea views, before relaxing on sun-drenched daybeds.
