About this property
Villa Argiro
A beautifully restored village house, Villa Argiro is a mere 100 m from one of the excellent tavernas that border the shady square in delightful Plaka. High stone walls ensure privacy in the pool and surrounding gardens. The living space is exceptionally spacious, combining modern facilities with lovely stone arches spanning the ceiling. A lovely feature of this Villa is the first floor terrace with sea views between the neighbouring rooftops and gorgeous mountain views.
Location - Plaka
1 km uphill from the sandy sweep of pretty Almyrida, with its tavernas almost on the sand itself, the village of Plaka, has a mini market and some very good tavernas whose tables and chairs spill out onto the square, bringing it to life in the evenings. Villa Argiro is just a short walk distance from this square. For a change of beach scene, the small resort of Kalyves and Georgioupolis are within easy striking distance.

Fantastic stay
As a family of 5, the villa was amazing, enough space for everyone to enjoy, the beds where so comfortable and we even got to watch the sunset from the top balcony.
It’s a shame there isn’t a proper shower upstairs as it was too hot to enjoy the jacuzzi bath

Well appointed and great location
Spacious villa, great pool and outside areas. Nice village location with plenty of tavernas and supermarkets. Nice beaches down the hill but you really need a car to get back from the beach unless you're good at climbing!
The garden would be improved with underplanting or grass under the trees and shrubs as in the pictures. The bare soil was not very attractive

Villa Argiro
Proximity to the Town. The sun terrace.
Air con in the lounge, it was a struggle to use it in the heat. Chairs on the upstairs balcony should be supplied. The grass wa never cut so if we had more guests the outside space would of been a problem.
The stay at Villa Argiro was everything we could've ever wanted! Check-in process was smooth with printable directions and there was a little welcome basket waiting for us. Beds were comfortable and walking distance to some great restaurants in Plaka. Best part of this place was the outdoor areas with a very nice pool, patio, and balcony with great views! Thank you for your great hospitality!

Fantastic villa in beautiful village
This is our first holiday with Freelance Villas and they have been excellent from the start.
Extremely helpful on villa choice for mobility reasons and help support my parents on their return with all extra paperwork during the pandemic. The villa is beautiful, so much outside space, fantastic views from the two terraces upstairs, two area outside also.
The owner was there to meet us, a welcome pack with essentials provided.
We’ve stayed in a lot of places in Crete but this has been the best villa, we hope to return.
Perfect thank you
