Inside this beach villas in greek islands holiday home it is furnished and decorated in Pericles original style. On the ground floor the spacious open plan living area has high beamed ceilings supported by extravagantly thick stone walls, now mainly plastered but with randomely  exposed areas of original stone work . At one end is a well equipped kitchen and dining area with full cooker, microwave, dishwasher and capacious fridge freezer. Nearby, a large solid dining table provides dining space for all and a  sitting area  has lovely views out to the sea by virtue of the large windows which intirgueingly concertina back, giving a wonderful inside/outside feeling to the room. There is a further attractive lounge area with 2 comfortable sofas, plus TV, DVD and Hi Fi system - and from here a staircase climbs to the first floor level  where patio doors open onto the generous terraces supplied with comfortable bamboo patio furniture to relax and enjoy the sublime sea and mountain views.
At this level is the spacious master bedroom with queen size double bed and semi circular hydro massage bath as well as an en-suite shower room. French windows on either side of the bedroom  lead to sea or mountain facing terraces so that you needn't miss out on either spectacle of  sun rising over the mountains and the evening delight of it setting  into the sea.

The third bedroom is double bedded and situated on the ground floor at the far end of the living area with windows overlooking the pool and the rear garden. There is an adjoining full bathroom.

It's a rare thing to find a house in a position such as Pericles  Beach Villa  - with beach and  tavernas within an easy walk  and lacking  the 'gloss' of a more tourist location and will appeal to those seeking the 'essence' of Crete. 

NB. The small road to the beach tavernas passes to the side of the beach villa , so cars will pass by from time to time especially at weekends.

Location of Pericles Beach Villa **
Sfinari, Crete
17km from Kastelli, betwixt the rugged mountains and the endless blue sea, on the very far western tip of Crete, Sfinari nestles in the folds of olive green hillsides, a haphazard scattering of little white houses and with a main street somewhat shorter than the braking distance of the local bus from Kastelli, which invariably grinds to a halt beyond the last house! ...More about Sfinari >>

Comments on Pericles Beach Villa **

C. Morris - Oct 2009

"This is a splendid villa right on the rocky foreshore with views from the extensive balcony across the sea to one side and the countryside to the mountains on the otherside. Its quiet but not isolated because there is a sandy beach and 3 tavernas within 500m. All the tavernas on the beach are good but the Sunset taverna (the furthest one) does the best food with lots of free 'extras' like hot grilled bread and olive tapinade to start and often a free dessert as well. The sound of the waves on the shingle will send you to sleep at night."

Julian Dakin - Jun 2009

"What a top spot! Sea view in front and beautiful mountains and olive groves behind. There's a great taverna a short stroll away on the beach - the furthest one called Sunset Taverna. Good quality food and they frequently throw in a free apetizer and dessert very friendly and attentive service. "

Jon Starks - Aug 2008

"One of the best holidays we have had for a long while."
