Sure, here's a rewritten version in a relatable, excited, and expert voice:
Nestled in sunny Crete, Greece, today is all about soaking up the charm of this stunning setting. Step into the lower level and you're greeted by a contemporary garden that's a feast for the senses-think boxwoods, lavender, rosemary, and that quintessential olive tree. But wait, there's more! Tucked away is a sleek gym, complete with polished hardwood floors, shelves stocked with kettlebells and weights, and neatly rolled towels-a gym lover's dream come true.
Outside, a modern gate opens to reveal a chic cobblestone layout that's all about that contemporary flair. Head up the striking staircase to the upper levels, where architectural wonders unfold before your eyes. From smooth stucco finishes to creamy beige hues harmonizing with tile stairways lit up for evening ambles-each detail is pure visual poetry.
Now, brace yourself for the pièce de résistance on the top floor-where the living room and kitchen treat you to sweeping views of the sea. Picture a serene yet luxurious vibe, with minimalistic decor set against large-format tiles that echo mountain rocks, all seamlessly blending into a palette of soothing whites.
This Airbnb gem spans five bedrooms, seven bathrooms, and a generous 3,400 square feet, offering a tranquil haven with expansive dining areas and every modern amenity at your fingertips. Whether you're savoring Greek feasts or lounging by the pool with a mesmerizing wall water feature, this home is the epitome of comfort and sophistication-a dream retreat for any traveler.

Where would you spend your time in this home: the outdoor patio, pool area or garden space?

Outdoor patio

That pergola outside the living room! But I’d be everywhere, depending on the time of day. I’d love to have seen the LEDs at night.

This home is absolutely beautiful! Thank you, Valentina, for taking the time to give us a full tour of this fabulous home! I love all of the wood they used in the kitchen and the bathrooms. It is amazing! I also love the wood tone of the dining room table! That taupe and black in the first full bath you showed us was so gorgeous! I love beige and taupe color tones. They are relaxing. I am certain you and your family will have a fantastic time in this home! Again, thank you for taking us on a tour of the home. Enjoy your vacation!

[@HouseofValentina]

I couldn't agree more. I absolutely loved all of the wood surfaces and mixing in the beige and taupe with the neutral palette, absolutely perfect!

[@lauragainer9663]

This house is INCREDIBLE!!! I am obsessed with that first taupe and matte black bathroom. That matte black vessel sink is gorgeous l. I want that for my master bath. I’ve been struggling to figure out exactly what I want and THAT IS IT!!!!!

[@HouseofValentina]

That’s so cool! I love that bathroom as well, it’s gorgeous!

OMG…this is my favorite place have you stayed so far! I love the bedrooms. They are more hotel like, but I like that for a rental. I agree with mounting the TV in the main room. As for the plexiglass electric, they might have done that so renters could easily locate the tech if needed. The principal closet is everything!

[@HouseofValentina]

I agree about the closet. I've never seen one done this well in a rental property.

[@yeoryiastathakopoulou]

Welcome to Greece. Wish you have a great time. I want to let you know some details of how we do some things in our houses here in Greece. 1. We don't hang our televisions unless the space is tight. If there is a fireplace the TV is usually placed next to it so you can watch TV and enjoy the fire at the same time. 2.Our electrical panels here are covered with clear plexy glass and are usually instaled in hallways and sometimes are hiden in cupboards. At my house the panel is in the hallway so I created an art wall to hide it and now it's under a piece of art. There is always the option of painting it. 3. The shades are under a feature that in the past it was common to use and was hidding the curtain rail. We call it κουρτινόξυλο (koortinoxilo) meening the curtain wood. Enjoy!!!

[@HouseofValentina]

Wow, thank you for the information. The design elements that we saw in the different homes we stayed in were absolutely beautiful and so thoughtful.

[@sandralewis1162]

Thank you Jack!!!! Awesome job on the camera work. The shots are perfect and your timing is bang on. You give us enough time to see every detail and you nailed it with the small points of interest. LOVE watching the two of you together Yes I actually like the panel with the clear cover, almost looks like artwork. Electrical panels are necessary and it always looks like you're trying to hide it. Instead of hanging artwork over it, make it artwork lol. It's actually a cool looking panel. I personally love this home beyond words. Inside and out it is breathtaking. I used to live in a home with the dormers that hid the blinds. My mother hated it, horrible to clean and it was a great place for spiders lol I love the pocket door on the main floor because you don't have to look at the bathroom from the dining table.

Gorgeous! Valentina, just watching this makes me relax. I can only imagine what actually being there will do for your family. I agree with you about the woodgrain features. I'm a nature girl. I wouldn't paint beautiful wood, just like I wouldn't paint marble. Creation always ourshines anything we can do. Thanks for sharing with us. We appreciate your work, but don't want you to spend any more time than you have to doing it. Have a great time!

When I see that textured tile on the couple of showers that had it, I think of more work cleaning it. I've seen several installs of the remote control pergolas. Very nice.

I loved the all-season down blankets in Europe and have tried to find some in the US. They were used as a blanket and bed cover, with no top sheet. The ones in this video look very similar. Any suggestions on where to find one?

[@HouseofValentina]

That's so true. After living in Europe for over 10 years none of our kids will use top sheets. They said it feels strange to have another layer on while they sleep.

[@sandilang3845]

I love the sheers on the windows, would you be able to give a suggestion as to where I could purchase them.

Do you think you might buy a second home in Greece, Valentina?

[@HouseofValentina]

Maybe one day!

[@marilyn6905]

Elegant indeed! Favorite features ...use of Lighting especially in bookshelves/closets. Kitchen Formica & Hood design also impressive! Less a fan of Vessel Sinks & wooden vanity countertops. Sliding shower doors are attractive but the required metal top rail could be restrictive for taller users in some applications.

[@HouseofValentina]

Definitely agree with you. The lighting usage was impressive in this home!

[@christinevelsen526]

valentina i like to have a picture above the bed so you have more choices of what you can have for anything above your bed.

[@HouseofValentina]

That's a good point and much easier to change out versus wallpaper!

[@yaboyloso216]

Definitely have to hang the tv on the wood panel. Looks weird being super off-centered like that.

[@paulajames6149]

Don’t like the plexi glass.

[@IluvJamila]

I would do a freestanding TV on an art easel or a Studio Stand for the QLED & The Frame TVs.

[@HouseofValentina]

That's a great idea for the TV!

[@prayonkreutz2398]

It's crazy that an island in the Mediterranean is arid & dry!🤯

[@HouseofValentina]

That is pretty crazy. The contrast between the arid land and the sea is so dramatic and different than what we see in so many other locations.

[@firestick4991]

The climate is very similar to Southern California.

I think the small room on the third floor is meant for servants. Many families travel with help.
