Take Me To The Palace Chania, Crete

Property Description

If the sense of grandeur and opulence inside this villa doesn’t pull you in, then perhaps its location, a ten-minute walk from the secluded sandy bay at Agios Onoufrios Beach will. The centre of resort town Kounoupidiana is a three-minute drive, or twenty-minute walk, where you’ll find shops to stock up on groceries and restaurants aplenty. If you feel like heading into the charming town of Chania to explore its Venetian port, it’s a twenty-minute drive away.

Marble pillars and a midnight-blue tufted sofa create a sense of opulence inside, alongside sparkling, tiered chandeliers and polished marble floors. This place is like your own private palace, with golden accents and Grecian urns throughout. Bedrooms are lavish retreats with gilded frames around flatscreen TVs and marble-clad bathrooms. None are more indulgent than the family bathroom with its marble pillars in black and gold and a sunken bathtub for soaking with something bubbly.

The palatial theme continues outside, where balustraded terraces and balconies look out over the pristine swimming pool. Soak the day away in the integrated hot tub, or bag a lounger in the sun. The alfresco dining area beneath a wooden ceiling is a little more down-to-earth and rustic, but a full outdoor kitchen provides another level of extravagance.
