Award-winning ASKIANOS II is set at the southern edge of the Asterousia Mountains, where rugged landscapes meet the endless Libyan Sea. Recipient of the Silver A' Design Award 2023, the villa blends contemporary architecture with Venetian-Cretan influences, natural materials, handcrafted textiles, and thoughtful details. Designed in harmony with its surroundings, it offers breathtaking views, abundant light, privacy, and an authentic experience of southern Crete throughout the year.
The space
At the heart of Villa II is a striking natural rock formation, seamlessly integrated into the design of the home and appearing to rise from the swimming pool itself. The same rock embraces the outdoor shower and the inner courtyard, creating a unique connection between architecture and the surrounding landscape.
Designed to blur the boundaries between indoor and outdoor living, the villa offers different experiences throughout the day. A shaded pergola, a spacious courtyard with a large dining table, and inviting areas around the pool provide distinct spaces for relaxation and gathering, while the colors of the sunset transform the scenery each evening.
Inside, comfort meets authenticity. Natural materials, vintage handwoven textiles, carefully selected details, and elements inspired by Cretan tradition create a warm, serene, and timeless atmosphere.
Villa II comfortably accommodates up to five guests and is an ideal choice for summer holidays as well as peaceful escapes during the rest of the year.
