This beautiful three bedroom stone villa is in a quite and very private location surrounded by olive trees, situated on the side of a hill in a most striking position, just opposite the Koutoulas Cape, with walking distance to the surounding beaches and a twenty minute drive to the spectacular sandy beach of 'elafonisi'.

The open-style kitchen is fully equipped and well positioned for either indoor or outdoor entertaining.The outdoor pergola has a large outdoor dining area with a direct entrance to the kitchen which is ideal for entertaining whilst enjoying magnificent sea views.
This exclusive and comfortable accommodation is on two split levels. On the upper floor, three beautifully appointed twin bedrooms with wooden floors, and two separate bathrooms enjoying stunning views of the Mediterranian sea from their own private balconies and terraces.
All bedrooms are air-conditioned and all bathrooms are marble tiled with jacuzzi bathtubs.
The villa will greet you with rejuvenating sunrises and breathtaking sunsets as you relax in the infinity pool enjoying optimum privacy and relaxation where it's easy to find yourself lost in the panoramic sea views that stretch out before you, while the calming sounds of the seas breath can be heard amidst the mesmerising waves. The beginning of Cretan history fades into the mist where reality and myth meet. God Zeus, who was born in one of the caves of Crete, looked out from his sacred cave on mountain Ida one day and spied from afar the young princess Europa, on the coast of distant Asia. In the form of a white bull, he seduced the princess, and three sons-Minos, Radamanthys and Sarpredon were born of there union. Minos the strongest of the three sons, founded a powerful sea-borne empire (thalassocracy) which contributed to the growth of the Minoan civilization, one of the worlds greatest. The myths of Daedalus, the Labyrinth, the Minotaur and Theseus were woven around his name. Mountains rearing straight up from the sea, deep wooded gorges, ravines and valleys and yet more glorious mountains, standing proud and acting as a magnet to the eye and the imagination that's western Crete, or real Crete, as some would say. Its strong, dramatic scenery and colours create sweeping landscapes of harsh but beautiful countryside that has been the backdrop for heroic deeds, ancient civilisations and constant intrigue for thousands of years, and the home of obdurate, tough people made so by their labours on the land and their experiences.
Western Crete rural life continues at the same slow pace as it has for centuries and the Western Crete visitor who ventures off the beaten track will be suitably rewarded with fabulous scenery and a friendly welcome at every Western Crete wayside watering hole.
Villa Ariadni is situated at the least developed western part of Crete, on a beautiful small hill surrounded by olive trees next to the sea and close to Livadia, a traditional fishermans village. An ideal get-away of privacy and complete luxury for those seeking the ultimate in comfort and luxury in their own villa at walking distance from the sea.
