About this property
Nestled on the picturesque north coast of Crete, Villa Ambroze stands as the epitome of contemporary luxury. Comprising two striking glass-fronted cubic villas, this haven boasts a seamless fusion of modern aesthetics and comfort, offering a captivating retreat for those seeking a lavish escape.
Each of the ultra-modern 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom villas affords panoramic sea and mountain views, showcasing the breathtaking beauty of the surrounding landscape. Both villas span two storeys, and feature an open-plan living space dressed with contemporary designer furniture, unique art by Kostos Tsolis adorns the walls, and a welcoming fireplace is perfect for those cooler months and evenings. The super stylish fully-fitted kitchens are equipped with top-of-the-line appliances, seamlessly merging with the dining areas and breakfast bars.
A floating staircase leads to the upper floor, where there are two bedrooms with king-size beds and one with a sofa bed. Enjoy watching the sun rise and set over the mountains and sea, as you sit on the balconies sipping morning coffee or cocktails. Each villa has two chic and sleek bathrooms, both with walk-in showers, hand basins, and WCs.
Villa Ambroze's shared exterior is spectacular, occupying 7500m2 of meticulously landscaped grounds. Lush green lawns, one hundred and forty ancient olive trees, and vibrant gardens create a harmonious backdrop for the two villas. An inviting step-entry swimming pool beckons, complete with a sunken sun lounger area, and surrounded by comfy wooden sun loungers, shady parasols, and soft seating. Work up an appetite with a game of tennis on the full-size professional court. Then feast alfresco at the outside dining tables, complete with a barbecue, best enjoyed with a selection of Greek meze.
