Up in the hilltops of Pines Elounda, a profoundly serene villa boasts jaw-dropping views over the Mirabello Bay of Elounda and across the Kalydon peninsula to the endless open sea. It's safe to say you don't get to experience views like this every day, so we're almost certain you'll spend your days here, whiling away before the soothing seascape at every opportunity. Whether you're floating in peace from the infinity swimming pool or perched on one of the terrace bean bags with a cold drink in hand – prepare to be transported into a meditative state in front of the vistas. In fact, this home offers the perfect spot for a yoga retreat with friends. There's no place quite like here at sunset – that's why we suggest rustling up barbecue feasts and some local Cycladic cuisine at the alfresco dining area, in the perfect position for watching the sky change from blue to pretty hues of pink and orange before dark. Meanwhile, the villa's interior frames the outdoor scenery oh-so-well amid a laid-back ambience and stylish Cycladic style furnishings decked out in blue and white. We love the open-concept set-up that fuses the living room and kitchen area with the expansive terrace and stunning views.
