Villa Marilena Sunset

Spacious, secluded and with stirring scenery – you’ll feel like you’ve struck gold at Villa Marilena Sunset. This place feels like a million miles away from home. Sat in the sleepy hills of Argaka, it’s a real antidote to everyday life. But that’s not to say you’re miles off the beaten track. You can see the sparkling Med from here, which is a ten minute drive. And when you need supplies, head for the traditional village of Argaka, just five kilometres away.

You might well want to devote most of your time to staying put though. The large private pool alone is enough to keep you here. Sunk into a spacious terrace that’s accessorised with cushioned sun beds and sea views, this is as good as it gets. And there’s also a barbeque and separate covered veranda with a dining table for al fresco meals.

You’ll be just as impressed with the villa itself. Here, home-from-home comfort and traditional Greek style goes hand in hand. Think 21st century gadgets like a DVD player and dishwasher. Sitting alongside whitewashed walls and tiled floors that provide a taste of the real Cyprus. Designed in an open-plan style, there’s a comfy lounge, fully fitted kitchen and a dining area seating six.

The bedrooms are as light and airy, as is the rest of the villa. And there are two double rooms and a twin – all of which have their own en suites. So it’s perfect for larger families or a group of friends. A serene escape – the Villa Marilena Sunset scores top marks all round.
