The proposition

More than a residence.
More than an investment.

AEOS Elounda offers something a conventional villa cannot easily provide: four fully independent homes within one private property.

Designed for flexibility, the complex can become a multi-generational family estate, combine personal use with rental income, or operate as a compact premium hospitality concept.

Each residence has its own living area, kitchen, bedroom, bathroom facilities and outdoor space—allowing owners, families and guests to stay together while retaining privacy.

Established hospitality operation

A business already in operation

Two larger residences began welcoming guests under the AEOS Elounda brand in 2026. The first operating season was intentionally limited to two units while the owners established the guest experience, processes and local management structure.

  • Short-term rental authorisation in place*
  • Active Booking.com presence and verified guest feedback
  • Professional photography and premium guest equipment
  • Local management, cleaning and maintenance processes
  • Two further residences available for activation

Transferability of licences, accounts, reservations, brand assets and contracts must be legally confirmed.

Flexible ownership

One property. Three credible ways to own it.

01

A private family estate

Four complete homes allow generations, adult children and guests to share one destination while retaining independent private space.

02

Private use plus income

Reserve one or more residences for personal use while professionally managing the others as holiday accommodation.

03

Premium hospitality

Build on the two active, reviewed residences and expand the existing operation across all four units.

The Elounda experience

Come for the view.
Stay for the way life feels here.

AEOS is not a retreat cut off from the world. It offers the calm of a hillside home with Elounda’s waterfront life close enough to reach on foot.

Dawn

Wake with the bay

Watch the first light move across the Gulf of Elounda as the town below begins another day. Coffee on the veranda, salt in the air, and nowhere you need to hurry.

Day

Let the day unfold by the sea

Walk down to the water, settle beneath a straw parasol and swim in the calm blue bay. The beach is part of everyday life here, not an excursion that requires a long drive.

Taste

Follow the evening to the table

Walk into the centre for fresh fish, Cretan olive oil and a glass of wine beside the water. Linger over dinner and the lights of Elounda, then return home without needing to drive.

Explore

Set out along the water

Walk the waterfront paths, watch the traditional boats prepare for the day, and explore a landscape shaped over millennia—from ancient Olous beneath the water to Spinalonga across the bay.

“The rare luxury here is choice: privacy when you want it, and the life of Elounda whenever you step outside.”

Optional adjoining land

Future flexibility, directly next door

The owners already hold title to the adjoining buildable plot, directly attached to the AEOS property and currently used for parking. Its ownership documentation is complete and the plot is ready for transfer, either alongside the main property or under a separately agreed transaction.

For a future owner, it creates several possible paths depending on personal or investment priorities.

The owner story

Created with care. Operated with purpose.

AEOS Elounda was created by Carmen and Livio after they fell in love with Elounda in 2019. It brings together Swiss attention to quality, Italian design sensibility and local Cretan building knowledge.

The property was developed as a place they would be proud to use themselves: comfortable, distinctive and connected to the character of Elounda. It is now offered to a buyer ready to write its next chapter.
