Our Vision for Longhouse
Luxury Villa Crete
We discovered Crete whilst on holiday and immediately knew that this was the location to build our dream home: a luxury villa on a beautiful warm island, somewhere to refresh body and soul.
After several years’ search we found the perfect place for our luxury villa, being large and secluded, not overlooked, but within striking distance of the beach, tavernas, bars, supermarkets, and encompassing amazing sea and mountain views of Crete.
Longhouse is an exceptional contemporary villa built to the highest specification in a beautiful location in Crete. The house is designed to be spacious and uncluttered and incorporates numerous features to interest and amuse, whilst providing the essential comfort and utility you would expect from a luxury rental.
Clean and crisp construction lines please the eye, whilst unexpected tree-filled courtyards and hidden windows add subtlety.
The design is modern contemporary with a strong Asian influence utilising the principles of Feng Shui to create a beautiful calm zen-like sanctuary, in harmony with its natural environment. Truly, Longhouse sets the benchmark for luxury villa rentals in Crete.
The plot is large at 11,000 sq m and sits on a bluff with outstanding and uninterrupted sea views down the coast of Crete towards the Venetian city of Rethymnon and overlooking the mountains. Longhouse has been sited to maximise those views while being a single-story building cut into the hillside so as to sit naturally within the landscape.
The villa is exceedingly quiet and peaceful, the only background noises you can hear are the sea breeze, the chirping birds and insects, and of course musical goat bells!
