Luxury Villa for Rent in Crete – Elounda
The Luxury Villa for Rent in Crete – Elounda listed as CRV-2 rests on a quiet hillside above the Gulf of Mirabello, enclosed by handmade stone walls and mature gardens of olive trees, wild flowers and Mediterranean planting. A stone-paved approach crosses a small bridge and opens into shaded courtyards before the house comes into view.
Contemporary architecture sits against exposed Cretan stone, with framed views drawing the eye across the sea and the hills beyond. Sunrise arrives over the water to the northeast, and the day closes with soft light falling across the Cretan landscape.
Bedrooms & Living Spaces
CRV-2 sleeps sixteen guests across eight en-suite bedrooms, arranged over three levels so that families and larger groups find their own space. Five bedrooms sit within the main house, one opens through a separate external entrance with its own fireplace and private terraces, and two more form a self-contained Garden Suite with a shared kitchenette and independent entrances.
The first-floor master carries a four-poster bed, walk-in closets and terraces facing the sea. Natural hardwood floors run through the bedrooms, while marble and stone define the living areas, where a high-ceilinged open-plan lounge gathers around a fireplace, a study and a dining space that flows outdoors through French doors.
Private Pool & Outdoor Living
An infinity-edge pool anchors the outdoor living, its surface appearing to spill toward the water below. Pergola-shaded terraces and wide patios extend from the kitchen and dining room, with a bar overlooking the pool and the sea, and an open-air barbecue and dining area that seats eighteen for long evenings outside.
Three of the bedrooms carry broad terraces with built-in seating, and a small jacuzzi within the Garden Suite garden connects back to the main pool level along paved stone paths shaded by olive trees.
Amenities & On-Site Services
The estate is thoroughly equipped for active stays. A private multi-sport court adapts for tennis, pickleball, volleyball and half-court basketball across a cushioned four-layer surface, effectively four courts in one, alongside a HYROX-style functional training set-up for endurance and strength work. An open-air gym area handles weights, table tennis, a boxing bag and a water rower, with yoga and wellness sessions arranged on request.
A hidden children’s playground sits less than five minutes’ walk along the footpaths, out of sight and earshot of the house, while secure parking, lounge areas with beanbags and hammocks, and quiet rest spots among the olive trees complete the grounds.
