Paul’s Mansion

Light fills the ground floor, where floor-to-ceiling windows open toward Souda Bay, creating a seamless connection between interior calm and the Aegean landscape. The open-plan lounge is shaped for slow mornings and late-evening gatherings, anchored by a contemporary sofa and a 60” HDTV for relaxed downtime. A fully equipped modern kitchen invites effortless cooking, while the dining table for seven becomes the natural heart of the space.

Three ground-floor bedrooms extend from the main living area, each with Sealy mattresses, self-controlled A/C, curated amenities, and direct access to the outdoors for a gentle indoor–outdoor rhythm. Two elegant bathrooms with stand-up showers complete this level, using a palette of clean lines and minimalist comfort.

Upstairs, the villa reveals two elevated suites — including a master with walk-in closet, large balcony, and sweeping views across Souda Bay. Soft materials, calm textures, and natural light define every room, designed to embrace the slow-living essence of luxury villas in Chania.

Throughout the interiors, our travel designers craft curated touches that shape the stay: private wine tastings, in-villa chef evenings, and quiet, restorative rituals timed around the villa’s natural light — experiences that blend seamlessly into the architecture rather than compete with it.

Across 3,000 m², the outdoor world of Paul’s Mansion unfolds in layers — terraces that catch the morning light, shaded gazebos that invite afternoon stillness, and open platforms that face the deep-blue sweep of Souda Bay. The 65 m² heated pool forms the center of daily life, while the built-in jacuzzi (heated on request) adds a quiet note of wellness to evenings under the stars.

Lush gardens soften the villa’s modern lines, creating a tranquil setting for families and groups. A charcoal BBQ area, outdoor dining table, loungers, electric awnings, and a generous sun terrace shape the rhythms of the day: sunrise coffees, long lunches, sunset gatherings, and late-night conversations wrapped in the warmth of the Cretan air.

Here, our concierge and lifestyle services flow effortlessly: sunset dining orchestrated on the terrace, wellness sessions by the pool, or beautifully timed returns from curated experiences — private cruises, jeep explorations, or cultural tours — that ease back into the villa’s sense of calm.
