Villa Christina - Argaka, Paphos, Cyprus

Villa Christina - Argaka, Paphos, Cyprus

This appealing villa blends total seclusion and modern comforts in the lovely village of Argaka, making it an excellent retreat if you want to relax and get away from it all in rural Cyprus.

Standing in large gardens, which are bordered by mature hedges for complete privacy, the villa offers a good standard of accommodation over two storeys. Everything about is relaxed and comfortable, with traditional, simple furnishings setting the tone and each of the bedrooms boasting its own ensuite and large balcony with inspiring views over the countryside. The spacious kitchen-diner is nicely fitted with modern accoutrements and makes a sociable family meeting-place, whilst sliding glass doors from the main living area bring you out to a pergola-sheltered terrace, which provides a pretty spot for enjoying sun-soaked meals. Just a few steps from here are a sunny rear terrace bordering a good-size pool and the expansive lawns, which make a cool and safe playing area for children.

There are beautiful stretches of unspoilt coastline just over a kilometre away, and Polis and Latchi, with their pretty beaches and friendly tavernas are within comfortable driving distance. The charms of traditional Argaka, where you can often see local goat herders tending to their animals, are also practically on your doorstep.
