Provarma Village House

This is a rare chance to have a traditional village house (currently 2 apartments with 3 bedrooms/2 bathrooms) with garden in this little known village just 10 minutes drive from Kalives beach.

Ground floor apartment: The large covered front veranda over the front door with kitchen, lounge, 1 double bedroom and bathroom. Large store room next to this can easily be made into a 2nd bedroom for this floor.

First Floor apartment: external stairs take you to the upper apartment with 2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, living area with kitchen and lounge. The balcony is spacious enough for a full dining set plus seating and has beautiful views over the village and to the sea in the distance.

Outside: the property is fully enclosed with stone walls and iron entry gate, tall trees and bushes give privacy. Enter either through the pedestrian gate or the gates to the private off road parking area with a grapevine providing a green canopy for shade in summer. There are flower beds on different levels in the courtyard style garden, filled with fragrant herbs and vibrant bushes.

The covered outdoor kitchen/dining area placed on an upper terrace enjoys the surrounding views. There are planted beds on the external side of the boundary walls giving the archetypical Cretan appearance of rugged stone walls and soft plants.

With wooden ceilings, stone walls, locally made furniture, stone fire place and Cretan furniture the property is full of character. With extra building density there are so many possibilities for this property. Do nothing at all and enjoy living the Cretan way with friends and family enjoying separate spaces. Join the two floors with an internal staircase for a large family villa, maybe extend the property overall.

Location: this is a small rural village inhabited mostly by locals, you are 15 minutes walk to Stylos with all amenities, 10 minutes drive to the National Highway or 15 minutes to Kalyves beach. If you drive up into the hills you will discover beautiful villages unaffected by tourism. This area is the greenest in the prefecture with rivers, vineyards, avocado groves, and famous for its abundant, clean water! So for anyone wanting an authentic Greek experience in a traditional property, in a quiet Greek village but close to all amenities this is your perfect home!
