Villa Nyxi Greece

An exceptionally modern 4-bedroom villa with sea and mountain views, Villa Nyxi lies just a 20-minute drive from the Cretan city of Chania. Its position offers a breathtaking view of the Bay of Chania area, as well as landscaped gardens with a tennis court and infinity pool – the ideal place to watch the sunset.
Situated in a quiet location on the Akrotiri peninsula, Villa Nyxi can comfortably accommodate up to 10 guests. On an 8000 square metres plot of land, it offers ample outdoor space and a host of features. As well as the heated infinity pool, you have a hot tub, a pergola with outdoor dining area, a summer kitchen with barbecue, and an outdoor shower and sun terrace. If that wasn’t enough, you will also have the use of a tennis court and fitness room.
You will have an incredible view from inside the house, thanks to the large glass panel lining the living area. This open-place space offers ample seating, a dining area and a luxury Italian kitchen with all you could need. A double bedroom, bathroom and the gym/playroom can all be found on the ground floor too.
A half-level floor accommodates a king room which can also be used as a twin. Here you can appreciate mountain and sea views from the private balcony. On the first floor are two more double bedrooms, including the master suite, completed with free-standing bath, walk-in wardrobe and Smart TV. Large terrace areas on this floor lead you to the rooftop gardens where you will find the hot tub and a decked seating area.
This amazing property is equipped with virtually every convenience you could think of, from air-conditioning and heat-reflective glass for the ultimate comfort, to cool extras like a PlayStation, Nespresso coffee machine and a ping-pong table. There’s a Bluetooth music system, covered parking and Wi-Fi, and a range of additional services are offered too, including those of a private chef, massage therapist and babysitter.
With Chania just a short drive away, you have one of the most enchanting Mediterranean cities on your doorstep – as well as numerous excellent beaches and attractions ranging from a water-park and botanic gardens to historic landmarks and fantastic restaurants.Much admired for its Venetian harbour and striking lighthouse, Chania is one of the highlights of Crete’s northern coast. Surrounded by wonderful beaches and stunning countryside, this city is one well worth making time for – and it’s geared up for visitors with plenty of entertainment and an excellent dining scene.
The harbour’s colourful buildings and landmarks like the Ottoman Baths make it incredibly photogenic, and you will be tempted to stick around on its many waterfront restaurant terraces. You are in a great position to then start exploring the Old Town or perhaps head out to sea. Various boat tours showing off the area’s beautiful coastline are easy to find.
The area has no shortage of idyllic beaches, and there are many within a short distance of the city – some walkable. Golden Beach and Neo Chora are both good choices and family-friendly, although they can get busy. Many of the real gems require a longer drive, but are well worth it – Balos is considered one of the island’s best beaches, around 60km from Chania.
In the town, you have a variety of museums dedicated to aspects of the area’s history, including those focussed on archaeology and local folklore. A maritime museum won’t take you far from the water – you can also walk along the seawall to the Venetian Lighthouse and enjoy one of the best views in town.
Further out of town, the extensive Botanic Park and Gardens sitting beneath the White Mountains are a must-see. Wandering through the park filled with exotic flowers and herbs is a sensory experience. The restaurant offers a wonderful view over the park, so it’s worth stopping for lunch there. Other notable sights include an impressive trio of monasteries on the Akritori Peninsula, Agia Triada.
The wonderful Samaria Gorge is just across the island from Chania and makes a great excursion if you are willing to venture further. Seeing the countryside of Crete is a real treat, and this area is ideal for walking and hiking. Many organised tours will also show you the region’s scenery, and often local craftsmanship – visits to see products like olive oil, honey or Cretan wine being produced are popular.At Excellence Luxury Villas we pride ourselves on going that little bit further for our guests.
