The three remaining bedrooms are located on the first floor. The first twin bedroom has an en suite shower room and private balcony overlooking the small olive grove to the side of the villa and across fields that extend down towards the sea. The second twin bedroom with en suite bathroom shares a pool facing balcony with the master double bedroom with en suite bathroom.

Each of the bedrooms and the living room are equipped with air conditioning units* (for both cooling and heating). A safety deposit box is available and a hairdryer and beach towels are supplied.

The private swimming pool (with both walk in steps and ladder access) measures 10m x 5m. The pool is surrounded by an extensive sunbathing terrace equipped with sunbeds, umbrellas and a poolside shower. A shady pergola next to the pool provides respite from the heat of the midday sun or a shaded spot to dine making full use of the barbecue provided.

Please note: A car is essential at this villa and a 4WD vehicle strongly recommended as it is approached via a single lane partly made partly unmade track.

Argaka is located on the coastal plains of the Chrysochous area away from the more mainstream destinations. Nourished by its own reservoir this agricultural area is well known for its abundance of citrus orchards The settlement of Argaka itself is divided into two parts, Pano Argaka (upper) located between the sea and the pine forest is the older of the two communities. Here, traditional style architecture can be found amongst the narrow, winding roads and the traditional spirit of Cyprus is still very much in evidence at the local kafenion which provides a focal point for the village's residents to gather, exchange news and pass the time of day. Kato Argaka (lower) is the newer settlement standing next to the sea. Although this area features more contemporary style residences, a small supermarket, a kiosk and a handful of tavernas dotted along the coastal road, the atmosphere is still very laidback. The nearest restaurant to the villa is approximately 2.5 kilometres away with a handful more along the road leading back towards Polis.

The undeveloped beaches of the Argaka area stretch along a natural coastline of coarse sand, shingle and pebble. For a day here you will need to bring your own beach mat and umbrella. Refreshments can be found at one of the tavernas scattered along the coastal road or you can take a cool box and lunch under the shade of the trees in one of the designated picnic areas.

Polis is the principal town for the region, huddled around a pedestrianised square where visitors and locals gather in the mornings to enjoy a coffee and watch the world pass by and in the evenings to dine at one of the wide selection of restaurants, tavernas and cafes which radiate out from the centre. The town has an archaeological museum and cultural centre. Polis which is approximately 10.5 kilometres away offers the nearest organized beach to the villas backed by tall Eucalyptus trees.

A little further along the coast from Polis is the seaside resort of Latchi with its recently opened 200 berth marina. Here you will find an array of inviting sea-front tavernas with a superb selection of fresh fish and seafood served daily. Just beyond Latchi you will find the well known 'Baths of Aphrodite' and for nature lovers the protected Akamas Peninsular an area particular suited to walkers and adventurers who can explore the many criss-crossed nature trails. The coastline of this area can also be enjoyed by boat with daily excursions available from the marina.

Polis and the surrounding villages count bowling, go-karting, fishing, cycling, watersports and scuba diving amongst the many activities on offer to the visitor. The Minthis Hills Golf Course is approximately a 40 minute drive away. The town of Paphos with its World Heritage Sites, modern shopping facilities, waterpark and attractive harbour area is within a 50 minute drive.
