Romantic luxury villa with private jacuzzi & sunset views Hidden among the stone paths and olive groves of Pombia, Villa Simantiri feels like a quiet chapter pulled from an old Cretan story. Here, mornings unfold in soft blues and golds, evenings glow against the mountains, and time seems to loosen its grip just a little. The villa is crafted for two — for couples who want privacy, calm, and the kind of quiet that cities forget to offer. The outdoor jacuzzi watches over the Messara valley, warming under the last threads of sunset while a gentle breeze rises from the hills. It’s the place where guests linger longest. Inside, the home blends traditional stonework, wooden beams, and thoughtful touches that soften every corner. The living space is bright and airy, the dining area feels like a small sanctuary lit by a chandelier, and the kitchen opens to morning light that seems almost deliberate. The bedroom is dressed in pale tones and slow serenity, with windows framing the countryside like a painting. Bathrooms carry the same calm elegance — soft marble, blue patterned tiles, warm lighting. Outside, paths of hand-laid stone wrap around the house, leading to terraces sheltered by old olive trees. Whether you’re sharing a glass of wine as the sky cools, or simply listening to the valley settle for the night, the villa offers a quiet that feels earned. Villa Simantiri is not by the sea — it’s above it, away from the noise and the summer crowds. What it offers instead is the feeling of having your own private corner of Crete: uninterrupted views, full privacy, and the comfort of a home built with intention. A retreat for couples. A hideaway for those who want peace. A small luxury, surrounded by mountains.
