Haritakis House, Agia Paraskevi, Crete

*** Featured in Sunday Times "Europe's 100 Sexiest Summer Villas" ***

Haritakis House is set in its own garden, perched on a high bluff overlooking the Village  with  the most stunning panoramic views of the coastline and the sea.
At the entrance to the house an attractive, partially covered patio area paved with local stone and fringed by bougainvillea makes an inviting spot for dining in the open air. Inside, the open plan living room has a dining table with built in bench seating and a  breakfast bar seperating  the  living and kitchen areas.  At the rear is a small landing with a door to a twin bedroom, plus a wooden staircase to first floor level where there is a further twin bedroom, plus a double bedroom with patio doors to a gorgeous terrace sitting in a froth of bougainvillea  and just the spot to watch the sun rise over the mountains to the east (if you're awake in time) and set over the mountains to the west. Both these bedrooms have sloping beamed ceilings, pine flooring and magnificent sea views. The 3 bedrooms share one shower room located off the staircase a few steps from ground floor level. Despite being built with traditional materials, Haritakis House has a pleasing modern ambience.

Hidden away on the south coast between Agia Galini and Moni Preveli and a good 2 hours drive from Chania Airport, the tiny hamlet of Agia Paraskevi, stands high on the hillside looking out over the Lybian Sea. Virtually abandoned for 25 years, the village has over the past decade been slowly restored and brought back to life and now provides the ultimate place to unwind! ...More about Agia Paraskevi >>
