“Gigi” is a Greek slang that is used to describe something “perfect”, such as the homonymous villa. Villa GiGi is a luxurious property that impresses its guests in many ways; the unstoppable stunning view, the opulence in every detail, the innovative design, the isolation, and many other things that wait to be discovered by you!

Inside the villa

The desire to create a space that would inspire calm and harmony led to this contemporary and peaceful design. Villa GiGi has a light and ethereal atmosphere dominated by the sea view and the colour of the surrounding nature. The interior palette has continuity to the different areas of the villa and includes apparent concrete, blonde wood, white and metal details in black and inox. The villa features large openings and ample external space to merge indoor and outdoor lifestyles easily through expansive sliding glass doors in every common area. Villa GiGi consists of two buildings, both two-storey, the main with the master suite and the supplementary; thus, it can host from 8 to 12 guests in an area of 350 sqm. (Upon request, it can host up to 14 guests).

Outside Area

Villa Gigi was created with a true love for mother nature; the local stones from the excavation have been placed in the façade, giving the impression that the building “emerges” discreetly from the earth. The external of the villa consists of beautiful and well-cared gardens in an area of 4,000m², such as an olive grove, botanic garden, many grass lawns and parterres with flowers and plenty of fruit trees. The front yard has a fully equipped charcoal barbecue area with a wood oven, a sink and an al fresco dining area. Another outdoor dining and lounge area is placed on the spacious air-protected veranda (non-shown in photos); both outdoor dining areas can merge with the common space of the main building through the sliding glass doors. The refreshing spot is the ecological heated swimming pool (50m²) with a counter-current swimming system and hydro massage (The pool can be covered to keep an appropriate temperature and to provide child safety, too).

So, the outdoor options are many, and the choice is always yours; chill out in the pool area by having a refreshing swim or a soothing hydro massage (whirlpool); otherwise, lie on the comfortable sunbeds and sun yourself. Your overwhelming experience will be completed by experiencing the private hammam (o/g). A private footpath within the villa area is offered for nature lovers to explore the enchanting Cretan flora; a few meters away is a unique, visitable chapel inside a rock at the villa’s foundations.

The villa has a spacious outdoor private parking space and an additional indoor garage away from prying eyes. Furthermore, the whole outdoor area is totally fenced, offering total privacy and security; the villa is equipped with a high-tech security system and custom-made shutters that protect while allowing the air to come through during the hot summer nights.

Digital Nomads

Villa GiGi is ideal for those seeking to work away on vacation. The villa offers high-speed Wi-Fi all over the estate, jacks in the wall on the main building for an ethernet connection and a satellite 55” smart HDTV (including Netflix and a Nintendo Wii). Working in an elegant space overlooking the sea and the sacred landscape can quickly transform tedious work into pleasure. Moreover, we can provide you with office equipment (computer screens, connection cables etc.) upon request.

Sustainability

Villa Gigi is designed in a way that respects natural resources by optimizing energy and water use: the swimming pool uses salt water through electrolysis, water supply and irrigation from drilling, the automatic watering system, the bioclimatic building with energy-saving windows, thermal energy is “trapped” indoors, and is retained for the rest of the day due to the “shell” that has been clad on all the external walls, as well the several gardens of topical flora. The property uses solar energy from photovoltaic panels, which reduces CO2 emissions and minimises the villa’s carbon footprint on the environment.
