Villa Argonite Greece

Vacation with a view when you holiday at Villa Argonite, on the east coast of the ancient island of Rhodes, in the southern Mediterranean Sea. This modern villa is located on the hillside of the charming village of Archaggelos, south of the holiday hotspot of Falariki, and commands sweeping sea views as far as the eye can see. The villa has five double bedrooms, and two bathrooms, and can comfortably accommodate up to ten guests in some style, ideal for a family or friends’ sharing.
Villa Argonite is set in its own two thousand square metres of grounds, with lush green lawns, mature trees and indigenous shrubs, and a private swimming pool, all surrounded by stone walls for privacy and security. The villa has two private parking spots and comes complete with complimentary air conditioning and Wi-Fi throughout. This architect designed two-storey, two hundred and ninety-five square metre property, is built of classical Mediterranean white-washed stone, with an impressive frontage which cleverly combines sea view balconies with shady verandas. Whilst the elegant interiors are furnished with contemporary pieces, and eclectic lighting, and decorated in a neutral palette of creamy beiges and shades of grey.
Enter the villa at ground floor level, where you will find an open plan living space, with floor-to-ceiling windows that let in lots of light and air, and rewards the guests with stunning sea views. The villa has a cool light coloured tiled floor, with a black pattern that defines the different living spaces. The seating area has two comfortable cream leather sofas and matching armchairs, glass coffee and side tables, arranged facing a flat-screen smart television. The dining area has a glass table with six cream-upholstered chairs, ideal for some impressive indoor entertaining. The adjacent white and stainless kitchen is fully equipped with the latest appliances that you will need to cater for your holiday, including an American-style family-size fridge freezer, a built-in oven and hob, a washing machine and a dishwasher, and that must-have morning coffee maker. There is a round grey marble table to seat four, perfect for a casual breakfast catch-up. All the bedrooms are fully furnished with double beds, side and dressing tables, wardrobes, air conditioning, mosquito nets, and balconies with stunning sea views. The first of the five bedrooms can be found on the ground floor, with a kings size bed and a smart television. The other four spacious double bedrooms are on the first floor. There are two bathrooms, one on each floor, both with bathtubs, showers, double wash basins, bidets, and WCs.
Access the terrace through the living space, where there is a centrepiece ten and a half metre long roman step entry infinity swimming pool, perfect for a few lengths before breakfast. The pool is surrounded by cream-cushioned curved sun loungers with shady parasols, strategically positioned for maximum sea views and sun worshipping. Relax in the shaded soft seating area, or take a swing on the egg chair in the garden. Watch the sunset from the terrace, cocktail in hand, then choose your favoured dining spot. Either follow the paved path to the pergola where there is a built-in barbeque with an informal dining set or eat alfresco under the shaded veranda at the smart dining table and chairs. Villa Argonite is located on a hillside overlooking the Mediterranean Sea, in the quaint village of Archaggelos, on the eastern coastline of the ancient Greek island of Rhodes, the jewel in the crown of the Dodecanese Islands. The villa is thirty-three kilometres from Rhodes’ Diagaros International airport, a fifty-minute journey away. In the village of Archaggelos, there are local shops and mini markets for daily provisions, cute cafes and bars for morning coffee and evening retsina, and lots of traditional family-run seafood tavernas, where you can sample some delicious Greek delicacies. Whilst you are there take time to visit the Church of the Archangel Michael, with its bell tower and gilded interior, and walk the ruins of Archaggelos Castle, built in the fifteenth century by the Knights of St John.
The nearest beach is nearby Charaki, an eight-minute drive to this quiet resort with crystal clear easy entry water. Take a ten-minute drive to Tsambika Beach, one of the most beautiful beaches on the island, with golden sands and deep waters, or go snorkelling from the sweeping bay of nearby Stegna Beach. Go to the south of the island, where you will find Lindos, with its own acropolis, reputedly one of the most impressive sights in Rhodes, and with the most idyllic beaches. Within easy driving distance, you can get to Kalithea Springs, Rhodes Waterpark, Rodini Park, Diagoras Stadium, Andreas Papandreou Park, and the Acropolis of Rhodes. For some holiday hot spot tourist entertainment make your way north of the villa to Faliraki, where those who live the nightlife will find lots of lively clubs and bars.
Rhodes really is a walker’s island with almost 14 000 square kilometres to explore, through forests, up mountains, discovering ancient sites, and maybe stopping at a welcoming village taverna to sample the local wine, honey, and herbs, along the way. The ancient town of Rhodes is a forty-five minute drive from the villa, and well worth a visit. The old town of Rhodes has been declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and as you wander the narrow lanes, old streets, and fortifications you’ll see why. Rhodes’ history has been influenced by the Knights of St John, Venetian, and Ottoman conquests. Make sure you visit the Palace of the Grand Masters, the Castle of Monolithos, the Suleyamniye Mosque, the Archaeological Museum, the Museum of Modern Greek Art, and the many ornate churches, as you count the eleven gates as you make your way around the old town.
If you can’t pound the pavements, take a Segway tour, or stop for refreshment in a traditional taverna and sip ouzo as you watch the world go by. For the adventurous, rent a quad bike, or join a jeep safari, and take a tour of the island, climb aboard a high-speed boat to the lovely island of Lindos, or relax with a spot of fishing at Makarounas. If fishing isn’t your thing, you can admire a myriad of marine creatures indoors at the Aquarium of Rhodes. And for those who really want to go further afield, get island hopping and take the Rhodes ferry to the adjacent island, or cross continents to the cosmopolitan town of Fethiye on the Turkish Turquoise coast.At Excellence Luxury Villas, we pride ourselves on going that little bit further for our guests.
