The villa is sandwiched between the Mediterranean Sea and the scenic hills in west Cyprus. A five-minute drive takes you to Argaka, a laidback village with a scattering of coffee shops, taverns, traditional eateries and a quiet beach.

Inside the villa, exposed stone and tiling lend a traditional charm. Comfortable sofas and a fireplace in the lounge make a cozy retreat for a quiet evening.

The star attraction at this private villa is the stone terrace, complete with pool and whirlpool bath. The shaded patio has plenty of seating for taking in the scenery, while a built-in barbecue's a convenient extra for cooking up al fresco meals.
