Freelance's "Beach Villas In Greek Islands" Selection

Pericles Beach Villa, Sfinari, Crete

On the edge of the small rural community of Sfinari, this beach villa stands on a large plot of land overlooking the sea, just where the little beach road from the village meets the coast and takes a sharp left bend in the direction of the three fish tavernas, bordering the shingle beach a mere 600 metres stroll away.

The erstwhile modest stone cottage, originally the home of a humble charcoal maker and inherited by his great, great grandson Pericles, a talented musician and violin player of some international repute,  has been miraculously transformed into a remarkable holiday home with the odd unexpected indulgence, like flood lights set to illuminate the ocean at night.

Spacious terraces of crazy paving surround three sides of the villa, with a purpose built barbecue to the rear beyond which is a large area of lawn. To the side  is the 9m x 5m pool complete with a small children's pool and a remarkably handsome palm tree. This front terrace overlooks the sea and is the place to sit and enjoy the sunsets as well as alfresco meals accompanied by the ever present sound of the sea.

Inside the villa 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.Beach Villas In Greek Islands 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  concertina back, giving a wonderful inside/outside feeling in summer. 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. 

Across the hallway  is a twin bedroom with a small en-suite shower room and patio doors to the upper terrace and, of course, sea views. The third bedroom is situated on the ground floor has a double bed and  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. 

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 >>

C. Morris & family - Oct 2009
Sound of the waves on shingle
"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
Top spot
"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."

"Pericles House in Crete was spectacular and my husband and I had a wonderful relaxing week there and will definitely be back! "

gill welsh - Jul 2007
"A lovely and very comfortable villa, providing good access to some beautiful cretan coastline. Though we had no contact with Diana the rep, Pericles is very welcoming and hospitable. "

Sarah - Aug 2006
Villa is the Biz
"For a relaxing holiday in a lovely location away from the hubbub of the world, this villa is the Biz. From the stunning views driving to it, to the superb accomodation it would be difficult to beat. The pool was wonderful, the sea views and location (with nightly dreamy sunsets) were totally relaxing for kids and adults alike. Well appointed for visiting the whole of the West Crete area it was a great choice. The holiday was easily booked, and well managed by Freelance and even with potential airport nightmare all travelling and transfers were pain free. Thank you Freelance and thank you Pericles and Christina you have a lovely villa. "

Val Williams - May 2005
"We have just returned from a delightful holiday in Crete staying in Pericles House. The Villa is superb and is an excellent accommodation. If you wish you can experience a sunset from the front verandah every evening. Our rep Diane was a lovely lady and extrememly helpful and we would certainly recommend this Villa if you wished to stay in this part of Crete."
