An architectural landmark in Crete with a huge, heated pool, a private chapel, and panoramic views

Villa Litinus Regia is an impressive contemporary estate that redefines luxury living in Crete. Situated on an elevated plot near Rethymno, this stunning villa offers breathtaking sea views and exemplifies modern Mediterranean architecture.

The villa’s grounds are a peaceful retreat that highlight its stunning coastal location. The centrepiece is a 90-square-meter heated pool surrounded by wooden decking. The poolside lounge is perfect for basking in the sun, while the bubbling sea-view Jacuzzi is ideal for enjoying drinks at sunset.

To take full advantage of the sunny climate, the villa offers various outdoor lounge and dining spaces, ranging from sun-soaked lounges to shaded dining areas. There is also a professional-grade outdoor kitchen, complete with a wood-fired pizza oven and a barbecue.

Additionally, the villa features a unique private chapel, a serene modern structure that adds a sense of tranquillity to this luxury home.

The villa showcases a stunning block-style architecture, constructed with local stone, that beautifully combines traditional and modern elements. It consists of five levels, all accessible via a private lift. The sleek lines and glass walls are complemented by natural stone and timber accents, while the neutral colour palette ensures that the panoramic sea views remain the focal point in every room.

The living spaces are designed to offer a seamless transition between indoors and the vast, sun-drenched terraces. The villa features a dramatic double-height library, a quiet study, and a subterranean wine cellar. Social life is catered for by two sleek bars and a state-of-the-art kitchen, while a dedicated wellness suite includes a sauna and fitness equipment.

Five en-suite bedrooms are spread across four floors to provide maximum privacy for up to 10 guests. On the ground and first floors, the suites offer direct access to the gardens and serene views of the landscape. The second floor features the grand Master Suite and an additional panoramic room, both equipped with private verandas. The Master Suite also includes a striking fireplace and a walk-in wardrobe. The top floor houses the final guest room, offering an elevated retreat with stunning views of the coastline.

Villa Litinus Regia, with its stunning design and prime location, offers a prestigious and rejuvenating base for experiencing the very best of Crete.
