Ianira

Kolimvari - Villa

Villa Ianara is an exceptional retreat set on a three-hectare estate, where Crete reveals itself in all its splendour. Designed according to the principles of bioclimatic architecture, it combines ecological performance, natural materials, and contemporary aesthetics with great finesse. The shades of ochre and grey of the local stone dialogue with the large wooden beams, creating a soft, organic, almost mineral atmosphere. Inside, the furniture blends modernity and vintage spirit, with earthy and luminous tones that envelop the spaces in a rare serenity. The ceilings rise to 4.5 metres in the living room, accentuating an impression of volume and freedom, while the bay windows open the house to breathtaking marine and mountainous panoramas.

Villa Ianara embodies the very idea of a luxury villa rental in Crete, where nature is invited into every moment. The infinity pool, paved with sand-coloured pebbles, captures the play of light and blends into the deep blue of the sea. The Mediterranean garden extends to the olive groves and organic vegetable gardens available to guests: here, picking oranges, peaches or choosing a few fresh herbs for dinner becomes a simple and precious ritual. The whole place breathes the generosity of the Cretan land, reflecting the care and passion of the owners for this unique environment.

The interior is designed with rare intelligence. The bright living room, composed of deep and enveloping sofas, is organised around an eco-friendly fireplace, while a large wooden table faces the sea. The kitchen, signed by Marchi, takes up the codes of a revisited retro design, both bold, functional and warm. It dialogues with a dining room punctuated by a raw wood table and comfortable seats, inviting to large convivial meals that make the reputation of the Cretan lifestyle.

The four rooms of the villa are true cocoons, equipped with high-end COCO-MAT beds, satin and linen bedding, adjustable pillows, and spacious, intuitive bathrooms in polished concrete. Two rooms are located on the ground floor and open onto a shaded patio ideal for reading, meditating, or simply contemplating the landscape. Upstairs, the main suite has a furnished balcony offering a soothing view of the sea and hills. A fourth room, located on the lower level, benefits from direct access to an intimate outdoor space, bordered by trees and flowers.

The lower level is full of treasures: a vaulted cellar houses the wines produced by the owners as well as a selection of great Greek wines. A bright gym allows you to train facing nature, while perfectly organized utility rooms make daily life easier.

Outside, the villa becomes a true domain dedicated to the art of living. Covered patios welcome moments of relaxation, terraces extend into lounge spaces, and an outdoor kitchen including a wood-fired oven, barbecue, and large monastery table offer the ideal setting for sharing joyful and gourmet meals. The main swimming pool is accompanied by a children's pool, an outdoor shower, long seating in teak and rattan, and gardens illuminated at nightfall. The fully enclosed and secure grounds guarantee absolute privacy.

Villa Ianara welcomes its guests in the Cretan tradition, with homemade products: olive oil, wine, tsikoudia, jams, honey and local herbs. The service is worthy of the place, with daily housekeeping except on Sunday, linen change twice a week and 24/7 concierge assistance to organise visits, experiences, local products or excursions. Every detail contributes to creating the sensation of a suspended world, where everything seems to be in its place and where life flows with an enchanting simplicity.
