Description
Welcome to Bonsai, a charming 6-bedroom villa located in the beautiful Vrachokipos area of Crete.
Chic and contemporary, this stunning villa is tucked away in the serene area of Vrachokipos, just a 10-minute drive from the heart of Heraklion. Crafted for a truly effortless and relaxing escape, the villa’s smart design comfortably welcomes up to 12 guests, making it ideal for sharing memorable moments with loved ones. Gaze out over the endless blue of the Cretan Sea — a view so striking, it will stay with you long after your vacation ends.
The outdoor spaces invite you to savor every sunny day in style. A lush garden, seamlessly blending with the natural surroundings, wraps around the property, where you’ll find sleek sun loungers and parasols ready for pure relaxation. When the sun is high, cool off in the spacious private pool or let the little ones splash safely in the fenced children’s plunge pool. Fire up the BBQ for a true Greek feast prepared by your private chef, then toast the evening with a glass of sparkling wine or raki by the pool bar. This is summer living at its finest.
Inside, the villa’s thoughtful layout ensures both connection and privacy. Spread across three levels, the interiors feature an airy open-plan design, complemented by minimalistic art pieces, refined Italian furnishings, and wide glass doors that flood the spaces with natural light. On the main floor, you’ll find a cozy living area and a sleek modern kitchen perfect for whipping up light meals and snacks. Upstairs, four bright bedrooms promise a restful retreat with high-end mattresses and direct balcony access for breathtaking sea views and serene mornings. On the pool level, two independent suites offer added privacy, each complete with its own Jacuzzi, luxury amenities, and direct access to the pool terrace.
Perfectly positioned, the villa offers easy access to Crete’s beautiful northern beaches and the vibrant city of Heraklion, where you’ll discover local boutiques, seafood tavernas, and plenty of raki to sample. Feeling adventurous? Our award-winning concierge is on hand to arrange unforgettable experiences — from underwater adventures to sky-high helicopter tours. All that’s left for you to do is relax and enjoy every moment.
