Villa Anemos, Almirida Bay Ocean View Villas, Almirida, Crete
An exclusive community of three architect designed houses in privileged position above the shoreline in the charming seaside village of Almirida and just 200 ms from the harbour. They are the consummate creation of Pavlos Papadakis, well known local architect, showcasing his unquestionable flair for contemporary design; he has subsequently embellished them to create uniquely contrasting atmospheres. With the location itself setting the scene, each house, identical in layout is finished in a unique style with the use of marble, stone and wood combining to blend with their environment, they offer 5* accommodation in a very relaxed Cretan setting.
The copious open living space on the ground floor is flooded with light from floor to ceiling windows and blends seamlessly lounging and dining with the kitchen area.
Two double ensuite bedrooms on the first floor, share a deep and generous balcony and a third, spacious double bedroom with its own sunken terrace/solarium shares the lower level with a somewhat self indulgent sauna/Hamm am suite. Outside, private spaces have been created within the pretty gardens with terraces for dining and covered outside lounging areas but the jewel in the crown of each villa has to be its extravagantly sized swimming pool with uninterrupted and spectacular sea view.
Consideration has been given to each aspect of your holiday accommodation. Kitchen units and fittings are installed to a very high spec, and incorporate dishwashers, full cookers, microwaves, large fridge freezers, as well as espresso coffee machines and juicers. Satellite TV in the living area (as well as each bedroom) also delivers surround sound music throughout the villa. Quiet running air conditioning and central heating ensures that temperatures remain comfortable in all seasons.
Having suffered from a bad back for some years Pavlos was recommended a Swedish manufactured Dux bed. He is now such a convert that he has chosen to fit them in all bedrooms to ensure an exceptional nights sleep. Guests can choose whether to have beds made up as twins or doubles as mattresses can be changed accordingly and to further encourage sweet dreams, pillows can be selected from a choice of 3 varying depths.
All showers are fitted with rain shower heads and all baths have a hydro massage facility, as does one of the showers in the Hamm am suite. In addition to house towels, pool towels are supplied, together with bathrobes, slippers and luxury products in the bathrooms.
On request we can provide daily maid service, traditionally cooked meal delivery to your Villa or butler service for dinner parties all at an extra charge, as well as beautician or masseuse.
These premium Villas offer outstanding facilities and comfort for a special occasion such as a wedding party or honeymoon. For a large party they would combine well to make a quite exceptional holiday venue.
Villa Anemos (Sea Breeze)
The solid wooden door of this classically styled villa opens into the ground floor living area with floor to ceiling windows and a view of the aquamarine sea with a wow factor. Light floods into the space where vivid blue sofas and rich wood dining furniture set off the gleaming wood block flooring, laid throughout the villa. The kitchen is of dark wood with tactile white marble work surfaces and the use of shining white marble is repeated in the stairs which curve from the living area up to the first floor. Two bedrooms share access to a deep balcony running the length of the villa. The double bedroom has a wall of opaque glass behind which hides an elegant ensuite bathroom with separate shower and bath. The second double/twin bedroom has an alcove area with washbasins and separate W C and shower.
The third double bedroom with sliding glass doors to a private sunken terrace and natural solarium shares the lower level with a mosaic tiled spa suite with sauna and steam cubicle, hydro massage shower, a rain water shower and W.C.
The tiled terrace to the rear of the house is a natural extension of the living area, furnished with a dark wood dining suite and leading onto lawned gardens facing directly out to sea; a living wall of trees and shrubs provide privacy. The infinity pool is set in a tiled surround in which blocks of decking have been attractively inlaid. Beside the pool is an open air lounging area with sail cloth roof shading the modern rattan sofas and chairs.
Throughout, Villa Anemos has been infused with classical style where the use of natural materials - wood and marble combine to give a sense of elegance in which it is very easy to relax and unwind
