A state-of-the-art subterranean 5-bedroom luxury villa with swimming pool and sea views, ideally positioned just 70 meters from the shoreline and within walking distance of the center of the vibrant coastal town of Hersonissos – one of Crete’s most sought-after tourist destinations.
This exceptional 348 m² off-plan subterranean villa is designed across two levels and is being developed on a fully walled and landscaped private plot of 2582 m². Completion is scheduled for 2026.
Accessed from a quiet public asphalt road below, a private driveway passes through a security gate and leads to the villa’s dedicated parking area. From there, a short flight of steps ascends to the pool terrace and the main entrance at ground floor level.
Both bedrooms are finished with high-quality 18 mm oak parquet flooring. The kitchen is Italian-made and of a sleek, contemporary design, while the dining and living areas provide ample space for a large dining table and a refined sitting area enhanced by a minimalist fireplace.
The living and dining spaces, as well as both bedrooms, are fitted with large superimposed sliding glass doors that open onto views of the pool area and the sea. These seamlessly connect the interior with an expansive outdoor sitting, dining, and pool terrace – an outstanding setting for relaxation and entertaining during long Cretan summer days and evenings.
