Argyro's House, Agia Paraskevi, Crete

At the lower end of the village below the square and the church, this unsophisticated house has simple paved floors of local stone and is terraced on the hillside in a really quiet position with wonderful views over the countryside to the Libyan Sea.

Adorned with a generous swathe of bougainvillea, the partially covered entrance terrace has built in bench seating for alfresco dining and from here there are entrance doors to both the well equipped kitchen and the small adjoining living area, with built in sofas, fireplace and large dining table. A stone staircase off the living area leads up past a small shower room to the first floor, where there is one small double bedroom and a slightly larger twin bedroom, which has patio doors to a lovely private terrace with wrought iron balustrade and incredible sea views. Both bedrooms at this level have sloping, beamed ceilings and there is a further small twin bedroom off the kitchen.

To one side of the house is a barbecue, with nearby a shady olive tree and then the small vegetable garden. A steep footpath on the far side of the house provides a shortcut to the square.

Virtually abandoned for 25 years, the village has over the past decade been slowly restored and brought back to life and now provides the setting for a unique holiday experience and the ultimate place to unwind! ...More about Agia Paraskevi >>
