Villa Minoa rises gracefully among the exclusive resorts of Elounda, a villa that captures the spirit of Crete through its Minoan inspiration and artistic soul. Designed in 1976 by the renowned French architect Olivier Winckler, recipient of the Grand Prix de Rome, this residence blends timeless architecture with creativity, curving lines, and handcrafted details that transform it into a true work of art.
With a total interior of 837 sq.m., the villa unfolds across two levels, connected by a sweeping teak staircase. The upper floor of 300 sq.m. features a spacious living room with a fireplace, a wooden library, and three bedrooms, including a master suite with private bathroom, massage corner, and access to a terrace with panoramic sea views. On the lower floor, covering 500 sq.m., three serene bedrooms open directly to the horizon, their terraces merging with the sea and sky. At the heart of the house, a handmade Botticelli inspired bathtub, designed by the architect himself, stands as a centerpiece of light and elegance.
Surrounding the villa, a 9,300 sq.m. estate flourishes with olive trees, citrus groves, jasmine, and a majestic 300 year old carob tree that serves as a living guardian of the land. Just thirty meters away lies a secluded private beach, embraced by volcanic rocks, offering intimate moments by the water. A charming guesthouse atelier in terracotta and bamboo adds another dimension to the property, once an artist’s refuge and now a haven for creativity or tranquility. Outdoors, a freshwater pool with labyrinth-inspired mosaics, shaded pergolas for al fresco dining, and an open-air shower complete the experience of Mediterranean living.
Minoa offers ten bedrooms and five bathrooms, making it a rare retreat for families, gatherings, or those seeking an extraordinary escape. Its setting combines privacy with proximity to Elounda’s finest restaurants, luxury resorts, and yacht harbors. Beyond its architectural and natural beauty, the villa is also eligible for the Golden Visa program, offering global citizens a gateway to Greek residency.
