A holistic design, a radical ode to the beauty of nature

The house of San Matteo [~Agios Mathaios], situated at the top of Cape Koutoula, touches the sea breeze and the waves, like a seagull and eagle as a protector of the earth low, the sea further and the blue sky high, looking after with affection and care exactly as family’s grandfather Manthos. The house of San Matteo, our latest addition, is one more elegant diamond to the Elafonisi Villas collection. A small paradise for those who are seeking primordial contact with nature combined with romance and a sense of freedom, without sacrificing comfort and luxury.

A house of high aesthetics cared up to its last detail, eclectic design ready to offer an extremely comfortable and pleasant stay with bohemian chic mood.

Here time takes another dimension from the very first moment you step on the Cretan land. On the way from the airport to San Matteo you feel like stepping into a dream where time does not matter, and its script written by a poet. You unleash all those thoughts that distract you from your truth, and you immediately indulge in your inner self, getting closer to the essentials of life, (re)establishing your connection with the incomparable beauty of nature.

Time is suddenly perceived only by the course of the celestial bodies – the clock puts its place in the sun. Day intervals, such as noon, afternoon and evening, define the daily routine and stimulate other everyday habits.
