Nestled along the eastern coastline, Mochlos is a quiet haven overshadowed by the more famous Gulf of Mirabello. Its allure lies in its rich history, the quaint charm of its harbour, and the array of high-quality tavernas and cafés that grace the waterfront. While Mochlos may exude an unassuming ambiance, The Artisan’s House, our remarkable 5-bedroom villa, stands as a testament to unparalleled ambition. Perched just a brief 5-minute stroll from the village centre, this property is a pinnacle of magnificence in this island locale. With grand proportions and extravagant styling, the villa showcases meticulous design and meticulous attention to detail. From thoughtfully curated furnishings to refined décor and state-of-the-art kitchens and bathrooms, every facet contributes to an atmosphere of refined elegance. The intention is to provide guests with a front-row seat to relish the breathtaking views and distinctive ambiance of this idyllic island corner. Even those attending to work matters abroad will find solace in the well-equipped office, where the Mediterranean unfolds in a dazzling panorama. The villa's exteriors are equally captivating, featuring multiple sea-view terraces amidst well-tended gardens and a stunning infinity pool beckoning toward the vast blue horizon. A private tennis court caters to the active retreat seeker, while a fully-equipped gym on the lower ground floor ensures fitness enthusiasts have all they need. For a touch of friendly competition, billiards and table tennis await. Post-workout or for sheer enjoyment, the Jacuzzi room offers a serene spot to unwind, overlooking the expansive sea and sky under the night stars. Venturing beyond the villa, Mochlos awaits—an unspoiled gem detached from the island's mainstream tourist paths. Once discovered, it leaves an indelible impression, with locals providing the primary competition for coveted tables at the excellent tavernas, where weekend lunches with family and friends are a common delight. Facing the village is a small island within easy swimming distance, once home to a Minoan settlement currently undergoing excavation. The artefacts discovered here and the legacy of the skilled craftsmen and women who graced these shores 3000 years ago add a humbling dimension. Their ancient burial site overlooks The Artisan’s House, a testament to their enduring influence on Mochlos' gentle evolution over the millennia.
