This unique castle on the hill stands 350 meters above sea level allowing for postcard perfect views. All three floors have large windows and glass balcony doors allowing the interior to be flooded with natural light throughout the day. Each floor has its own separate entrance. The living spaces and balconies have classic Greek gray-veined marble floors with white marble detailing, while the bathrooms are artfully designed with neutral toned Italian ceramic tiles. The top two floors have air conditioning/heating pumps although air conditioning is rarely necessary.
The 5,600sqm plot includes a vineyard of Cabernet Sauvignon grapes and Cretan variety grapes perfect for wine making as well as rose and green table grape varieties. The meticulously maintained grounds are also home to a small koi pond, an olive grove of 26 mature trees and various nut and fruit trees including apples, plums, quinces, mulberries, carobs, Seville oranges, lemons, almonds, small purple figs and one large hundred-year-old green fig tree. There is plenty of space to install a large swimming pool, a tennis or basket court.
Crete is the largest island in Greece, and the fifth largest one in the Mediterranean Sea. Here, the remnants of brilliant civilizations meet the island’s rich gastronomic culture with a background of glorious beaches, impressive mountains capes, fertile valleys and steep gorges. Crete is, after all, a small universe teeming with beauties and treasures that need a lifetime to get uncovered.
