April Luxury:
For those who are happy to pay for “better than the best” the new Villa San Serife is just the thing.
Situated on a peak of a mountain range in Crete – the building of the villa is a feat of magnificent engineering, as winds can be up to 70 kilometres per hour most days. The anchoring of an enormous estate on the tip-top of a rocky mountain peak is a significant engineering advance.
Because of the villa’s location, views really are panoramic and a full 360 degree view from the circumferential terrace is magnificent. There is no interruption of the view as the villa is reached via an elevator in the centre of the structure (inside the mountain), that rises 2200 metres from the plateau entrance way below.
Offering 22 bedrooms, every bedroom offering Jacuzzi, spa facilities, a 58 inch molten plasma TV screen, emperor size beds, wet bar, dry bar, exercise bar, computer, fax, telex, 9-line telephone system, secretary, interpreter; there are 4 kitchens, a 22 car garage (at plateau level), in-house butler and valet. There are 3 swimming pools (one indoors, one on the terrace area, one on the rooftop). The terraces are “sprayed” with oxygen continuously to avoid any deleterious effects of altitude.
The library with over 75,231 rare collectors’ editions has multi-screen Internet facilities with the newest askgoohoo retrieval systems.
There are 6 entertainment and living areas; 2 cinemas each seating 480 people.
24 Hour services include: on-a-whim gourmet meals cooked by any one of the 4 international award-winning chefs on hand (all tempted away from multi star Michelin-awarded establishments); helicopter on call for visits to cafes and beaches; massage and spa treatments (including the legendary marmalade rejuvenating wrap); 1972 channel satellite TV; WiFI, MiFI,HiFi and the newest MegaXiZi systems. A library of 97000 DVD movies is available and ever-updated. Music – any song from any country, any time, anywhere.
The total area of the villa is 8,713 square metres.
Only available for rental up until noon on 1st April 2008.
