Duet

Set within 11,000 sq.m. of private grounds in Gournes Temenous, Crete, Duet is a contemporary estate comprising two independent villas, surrounded by olive groves and cypress trees. Just 15 minutes from Heraklion and its international airport, the property combines the tranquillity of the Cretan countryside with convenient access to the island’s capital.

Defined by clean architectural lines, minimalist aesthetics and expansive glass openings, the villas embrace natural light and a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor living. Contemporary interiors, refined finishes and thoughtfully arranged living spaces create an atmosphere of understated elegance, while the surrounding landscape provides a beautiful natural backdrop.

Together, the two villas offer six bedrooms and four bathrooms, providing flexible accommodation for extended families and guests. Their independent configuration allows for shared experiences while maintaining privacy, making Duet equally suited to family living or a Mediterranean retreat.

The estate’s extensive outdoor facilities are central to its appeal.

A 150 sq.m. swimming pool forms the centrepiece of the landscaped grounds, complemented by an outdoor Jacuzzi, a professional tennis court built to ATP specifications and dedicated areas for outdoor dining and relaxation. A BBQ area offers an inviting setting for entertaining, while a private organic garden adds to the property’s connection with its natural surroundings.

Panoramic views extend across the olive-covered countryside towards the sea and Mount Psiloritis, creating a peaceful setting in which to enjoy Crete’s Mediterranean climate. Generous terraces, sunbathing areas and established greenery provide numerous opportunities to unwind, entertain or simply appreciate the surrounding scenery.

Peaceful seclusion meets the cultural richness and coastal beauty of Heraklion.

Despite its secluded atmosphere, Duet enjoys convenient proximity to Heraklion’s restaurants, cultural attractions and everyday amenities. The archaeological site of Knossos, the city’s museums and several beaches are also within easy reach, offering opportunities to explore the island’s rich heritage and coastline.

With its combination of contemporary architecture, independent accommodation, extensive leisure facilities and generous private grounds, Duet presents an appealing opportunity to experience a relaxed and refined lifestyle on the island of Crete.

This property is eligible for both the Golden Visa and the Greek Non Dom Program.
