Manolis House, Agia Paraskevi, Crete

At the far end of the village and with lovely sea views over the olive groves, this well furnished and designed family house stands in its own enclosed gardens with pretty flowers and a good selection of herbs, as well as shady trees and a sheltered purpose built barbecue area.

Inside, separated by the entrance hall, is a modern well equipped kitchen/dining room, plus a spacious and comfortable living room complete with a large brick fireplace and patio doors to the terrace.

At first floor level and reached by a narrow wooden staircase are two twin bedrooms with sloping pine ceilings, French windows and wonderful sea views, even from a prone position! There's a shower room off the first floor landing and a second one downstairs off the entrance hall.

One of the sofas in the living room could be used as an extra bed for a resilient child. The kitchen has a convenient window to the side that gives access to the barbecue area. To the rear of the garden is a gate with a few steps leading down into Manolis' olive grove.

Agia Paraskevi, Crete
Hidden away on the south coast between Agia Galini and Moni Preveli and a good 2 and a half 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 setting for a unique holiday experience and the ultimate place to unwind! ...More about Agia Paraskevi >>
