From backpackers to royalty, Elounda has long captivated visitors with its quiet charm and crystalline bay views. Explore coastal paths leading to Kolokytha Peninsula and the Sunken City of Olous, unwind on Blue Flag beaches, or sail to historic Spinalonga for a glimpse into Crete’s rich past. Along the waterfront, traditional tavernas, calm waters, and laid-back elegance define summer days in eastern Crete.
Hidden among lush gardens on Crete’s northeastern coast, Villa Lambert is a rare retreat where history, art, and understated luxury meet.

A longtime gathering place for artists, royalty, and distinguished guests, the house reflects a refined yet deeply personal atmosphere - where Cretan heritage, contemporary Greek art, and effortless seaside living come together in intimate grandeur.

Description
Set within four hectares of organic olive groves on Crete’s northeastern coast, Villa Lambert is a secluded seaside estate designed for slow living and effortless summer days. The 340m² property is composed of two adjoining buildings and enjoys uninterrupted sunrise views across the bay.
Blending bohemian elegance with timeless Cretan character, the villa features four en-suite bedrooms, two relaxed sitting rooms, a spacious fully equipped kitchen, and a series of shaded terraces and outdoor lounges designed for gathering, dining, or quiet retreat. Antique tiles, colourful furnishings, and carefully curated artworks create a warm and soulful atmosphere throughout.
The gardens stretch gently to the water’s edge, where a private stone jetty and a semi-private beach invite endless swims in crystal-clear waters just steps from the house. Whether enjoying breakfast beneath the covered terrace, reading under the tamarisk tree, or watching the sunset from the waterfront, every corner of the estate feels deeply connected to the sea.
Fully staffed with a daily maid, private chef, and gardeners, Villa Lambert offers understated luxury with the ease of a private coastal retreat.
