Surrounded by a traditional Cretan olive grove, this private villa complex combines contemporary design with the natural beauty and relaxed atmosphere of Crete.
What makes this property special is the combination of its peaceful location, generous living spaces, and the opportunity to enjoy time together while still having plenty of privacy.
A Retreat Designed for Being Together
With 350 m² of living space, six bedrooms accommodating up to 13 guests, and three distinctive living areas, Olives & Thyme Retreat is a wonderful choice for families and groups of friends.
The layout offers a lovely balance between shared spaces and private corners, allowing everyone to enjoy the holiday at their own pace.
Outdoor Living | Where You'll Want to Spend Your Days
One of the highlights of the property is its outdoor spaces, with two swimming pools, including an infinity pool overlooking Souda Bay.
Surrounded by olive trees and beautiful sea views, it's the kind of place where mornings start slowly, afternoons are spent by the pool, and evenings naturally turn into long dinners under the Cretan sky.
A Taste of Crete
For those who want to make their stay even more special, the retreat offers private dining, chef experiences, and personalised concierge services.
Whether it's enjoying a meal prepared just for you, spending a quiet afternoon by the pool, or watching the sunset over the bay, everything invites you to slow down and enjoy the moment.
Why I Love Olives & Thyme Retreat
For me, what makes this property so appealing is the way it brings together privacy, beautiful surroundings, and the relaxed feeling of a true Mediterranean escape.
It's elegant without feeling formal, spacious without losing its connection to nature, and perfectly suited to families or friends looking to experience Crete together.
And sometimes, that's exactly what a holiday should feel like.
