Accommodation
Description
Built on three levels, Villa Artemis provides ideal accommodation for larger families with a generous living area and air conditioning throughout. Each of the first floor bedrooms has its own balcony, providing a little privacy along with the stunning views. Sitting on a terraced hillside in a remarkably peaceful setting, near the tiny village of Maza, Villa Artemis enjoys superb, panoramic views over green and verdant olive groves and rolling wooded countryside to the distant vivid blue sea.
Location
Vrisses, just 3kms away, has a good choice of mini markets, a renowned baker, and tempting Greek pastry shop as well as a choice of tavernas where you can dine beside the little gushing stream which runs down the leafy valley. In the tiny village of Maza just 1.3km down the hill, Costas Taverna has become quite an institution in Crete and is very well reviewed on Trip Advisor and a long term favourite with guests staying in Villa Artemis.
The pretty small resort of Georgioupolis with its wonderful long sandy beach and a huge selection of tavernas is approximately 15 mins drive.

Villa Artemis is the ideal base for exploring this part of Crete. Large sandy beaches less than 15 minutes away and we even drove over the mountains to visit the south coast in just over an hour! The villa is spacious and comfortable with beautiful views over the surrounding hills - great for star gazing in the evenings. The swimming pool is large and a great place to cool off from the summer heat! Location is very private and just 5 mins in the car from Vrisses. We had an excellent stay!

We have stayed at Villa Artemis many times and always loved it. The position is excellent with wide views across the valley and easy access to both the sea and the mountains. Highly recommended!

We absolutely loved staying at the Villa Artemis. The grounds were beautiful with amazing views. The pool was a really good size and the poolside furniture was really comfortable and just right! Everything was very clean and well equipped. Nearby Vrysses had all the basics covered for supplies and we loved the relaxed countryside. We found lots of things to do in the surrounding areas. Lovely beach down at Georgioupolis, Chania old port, Kournas lake. Gorgeous little hillside villages with roaming goats and family tavernas. The bedding was clean and crisp and we loved all of the balconies. The furniture was comfortable and it was great to have the BBQ area. It felt like a real oasis. The situation of the villa is particularly wonderful too, outdoors is completely private just overlooking the olive groves and that panoramic view.

If you want to have comfort in a rural but not remote part of Crete, then Villa Artimis is superb. It is spacious and well-equipped with a large pool and garden, and good views across the valley.

Villa Artemis is breathtakingly beautiful - set high up above the valley with spectacular views of Vryses and the surrounding hills. We were a family of 5 but enjoyed having more space than we needed. We particularly enjoyed having balconies from which to enjoy the peace and beuatiful surroundings. The kitchen was very well equipped.
We visited lots of lovely places in the area (Knossos, Heraklion museum, Imbros Gorge, Mili Gorge, Fallasarna, Kissamos, Almyrida) and there were plenty of activities to choose from. Went twice to the local restaurant in Maza and the owner cooked us a lovely fish dish as requested the night before. Would definitely come back if returning to Crete. Thank you ! |

In addition, the service of Freelance Holiday is great : next time in Crete we will go in one of their houses again.
