Freelance's "Village Houses In Greece" Selection

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 just incredible uninterrupted sea views. Both bedrooms at this level have sloping, beamed ceilings and there is a further small twin bedroom off the kitchen.

Built into a wall , at the back of a small courtyard to one side of the house, is a magnificent barbecue with  a nearby shady olive tree encircled by a low wall and a lovely spot to put a cushion on a hot day.

Accommodation in a nutshell

All our five village houses command superb sea views and all have a minimum of two bedrooms, plus one shower room and of course, hot and cold running water. Each house has a well-equipped kitchen with an electric cooker and fridge-freezer and there is an open fireplace in the living area which also has a small portable radio/CD Player. An innovative feature in many of the houses is full-length French windows in the first floor bedrooms, protected by wrought iron "Juliet" balustrades.

Each house has is equipped with two sunbeds and they all have fans in the bedrooms and mosquito nets over the beds..

 

Location of Argyro's House
Agia Paraskevi, Crete

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 >>

Fantastic place
"Fantastic place to get away from it all with breathtaking panoramic views from the terrace. You really do feel like you're on the edge of the world looking out across the Lybian sea. There's a new surfaced road down to the main beach to the west of Triopetra rocks the best taverna is the first of the two by the rocks. Theres also another nice taverna the other side of the rocks which you can drive to quite easily from Triopetra. If you're taking a trip to Phestos make sure you also check out Gortys - its fantastic both the main fenced area where you pay and the free to view areas to south of road still under excavation - fenced off but still viewable. "

Colin Barr - Apr 2008
"We had 2 very nice meals at the Taverna - everyone very welcoming and friendly. We loved the idea of staying in the individual farmer-owned houses that Freelance manages, and Argyros house in particular was wonderfully tucked away amongst the olive groves. We also loved the sheep coming past with their bells - good that local people still able to farm in the area. But, concerned that this lovely rural atmosphere could soon be spoiled....."

Mr & Mrs Marshall - May 2006
"We have had a wonderful holiday, Paraskevi is a beautiful spot, so peaceful. We certainly will go back, ideal. Big thanks to Manolis, Stella, Vaso & Maria lovely family "

Wendy and Les - Oct 2005
"Once again, enjoyed our stay in this lovely spot."

Mark and William - Aug 2005
"Came here on recommendation from a Freelance Rep two years ago. Thought we'd try a week to see if we liked it - and we absolutely loved it!! Will definitely be coming back for a longer visit. The house is idyllic and the views breathtaking. Manolis and Roula are extremely helpful. The food even if you're a veggie is is lovely at the cafenion. Roula cooks some mean lentils and big beans and chickpeas, and Manolis cocktails are to die for! For those astronomers amonst you, the sky at night is amazing - we have never seen so many stars!"

The Williams Family - Jul 2006
"We've had a fantastic holiday - loved the house and garden and particularly the view! Places we found enjoyable and worth a visit: Palm Beach- A super taverna by the river, Ligres - just down the road and the best beach. Plakias Beach - good shops and tavernas. Amari Valley - excellent mountain villages. Festos and Agia Triada - Minoan remains, excellent views. Ano Zaros - super taverna by lovely lake and woods. Spili and Agia Galini - both worth a visit. "

Jonathan, Bernie and Pippa - Jun 2006
"Lovely week in Argyros House. Especially enjoyed taverna at Ligres beach, also would recommend an hour exploring the nearby village of Kerames. Spili is also a pleasant town and, again, exploring the back streets was a delight. The monastry at Mono Preveli and the spectacular gorges nearby were excellent day trip fodder. Argyros House is lovely and we spent most of the time on the balcony or in the courtyard."

The Whittys - Apr 2005
"Agia Paraskevi really is at the end of the road...the tarmac stops just before the village; although the directions may sound complicated, the journey from Chania Airport is not difficult! Very, very quiet at this time of year......hush! was that a human voice?!!!! Wildflowers beautiful, plenty of birdlife, long beaches empty and temperature pleasant for walking. A 4WD was recommended by Freelance and proved to be ideal for use on many of the tracks in the area. Haritakis House stands above the others, and has splendid views, including out to Nisos Gavdos in the Libyan Sea. The house itself is well appointed. A real Cretan experience! Thank you, Freelance."

Jonathan Smith - May 2005
"Just wanted to say thank you for a fantastic week. Great weather, but also a lovely house in a quiet and remote village. My only regret is not taking your advice to hire a 4x4, as there were many mountain tracks which we would have liked to take. The local cats were great company, and the balcony and the flower draped courtyard a treat. I will definitely be recommending you to people wanting to plan a get away from it all holiday."

Castle Family - Aug 2004
"A big thank you for arranging the change in our holiday accommodation for the second week. Your service was superb and very much appreciated. "

Roberson Family - Jun 2004
"Agia Paraskevi ia an idyllic place - we had a wonderful week, Thank You !"
