Then you discover 3-Bedroom Villa in Greece – Rent Olives & Sea Now, a two-storey residence where contemporary comfort meets the unhurried rhythm of Cretan living.

Inside 3-Bedroom Villa in Greece – Rent Olives & Sea Now
3-Bedroom Villa in Greece – Rent Olives & Sea Now sleeps 6 guests across 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. The layout divides elegantly into two living zones, each with distinct character.
Upper Level: A double bedroom with en-suite bathroom anchors the first floor. The bedroom features premium bedding with European down comforters and a choice of pillow options. The adjacent en-suite includes a walk-in shower lined with marble, heated towel rails, luxury toiletries, and plush robes. Beyond the bedroom, a living area unfolds with a generous seating corner and dining table—the space designed for lingering over coffee or evening aperitifs. Large glass doors lead directly to the veranda and heated pool terrace, collapsing the boundary between indoors and the salt-tinged air outside.
Lower Level: Two additional double bedrooms occupy this floor, each with its own marble-appointed en-suite shower room. Both bedrooms open onto a garden veranda, creating a semi-private retreat separated from the upper-level activity. This layout proves invaluable for extended families or travelling groups where some guests prefer early nights while others linger outside.
Amenities Throughout: The villa operates with the kind of thoughtful infrastructure usually found in five-star hotels. KNX smart lighting systems adjust the mood from energetic morning brightness to sunset amber with a touch. Two minibars stock premium spirits and mixers. A Nespresso machine with complimentary capsule selection occupies the upper kitchen, alongside a curated tea collection. Daily mineral water and fresh snacks appear without asking. Hairdryers, marble surfaces, and signature bath products fill each bathroom. Wi-Fi reaches every corner, and a 50-inch smart television with satellite channels suits guests seeking entertainment during afternoon heat or evening wind-down.
Room service operates all day. Housekeeping arrives twice daily. Turndown service happens without fanfare. A dedicated concierge handles reservations, recommendations, restaurant bookings, and last-minute requests. Should you need childcare, babysitting arranges with advance notice, and baby equipment—changing tables, portable cots, strollers—becomes available upon request.
Outdoor Spaces and Living
The garden transforms the property into more than a villa—it becomes a private resort. A heated pool spanning 22 square metres occupies the terrace’s heart, with direct access from the upper-level bedroom and living area. Around it, sunbeds claim prime positions, and a hammock sways between ancient olive trees that have witnessed centuries of Cretan summers. A shaded pergola provides relief during the hottest hours, the kind of shelter where time dissolves.
The garden veranda on the lower level extends into landscaped grounds thick with Mediterranean plantings. Privacy here feels absolute—walls and vegetation create a sensory separation from neighbouring properties. The scent of oregano and lavender drifts across the terraces in late afternoon, intensifying as shadows lengthen.
A large veranda wraps the upper level, offering multiple vantage points. Morning coffee here captures the sun’s first angle across the water. Evening aperitifs benefit from the cooler breeze and the spectacle of Spinalonga’s fortress silhouetted against an orange sky. The 134 square metres of outdoor space ensures that even with six guests, everyone finds their own corner.
Location: Elounda and the Surrounding Area
