Accommodation
Description
This beautifully finished Villa offers spacious accommodation laid out over three levels and the bonus of having comfy Coco-Mat beds & mattresses. At garden level, the lower floor of the Villa is given over to an innovative inside/outside living area with a table tennis table and comfortable rattan seating for the less active. This shaded area is entirely open to the prettily laid out gardens featuring a covered barbecue area with dining table and of course the lovely private 9m x 4m pool with sunbeds and umbrellas. A great place to enjoy family time whilst soaking up the sun or enjoying a quiet read under the shade of the olive tree in the garden.
Location
Achieving a fine balance between privacy and isolation Villa Avra shares its hillside position with a select few individual villas, sufficiently spaced not to overlook each other.
Guests at Villa Avra marvel at the fine views across terraced hillsides planted with olive trees and down wooded valleys to the sea at Georgioupolis, 6km distant, the starting point of the beautiful 10 km sandy beach
The little village of Maza is almost within wandering distance and although offering little in the way of facilities, it is home to a small taverna on the square run by the irrepressible Kosta, highly rated on tripadvisor and a long time favourite with guests staying in Villa Avra. Vrisses, 3 kms away, has everything you could expect from a small town - bank, butcher, minimarkets, (rather wonderful) baker as well as a handful of tavernas.

And cooking in the wonderful barbeque outside. Remember to make at least one visit to the small village, Maze, where you will love to eat at "Maza Cafeneion". |

Really great spacious villa, loads of room, very clean and suited our needs perfectly. The pool and table tennis are ace, and housekeeping came twice during our stay which was a nice touch. Definitely need a car due to location but would recommend a car on Crete anyway and the position gives awesome views. Hosts were simply superb and very responsive with the slightest query, plus the guide in the villa for things to do and places to go was really useful. Will be booking again for sure.

We had a fantastic holiday at Villa Avra. It was spotlessly clean and very well-equipped, with a quiet, peaceful location and fabulous views across the valley and out to sea. We absolutely loved the wonderful pool area and although we visited a few beaches, we ended up spending most of our time by the pool. We particularly enjoyed visiting the taverna in nearby Maza run by Kostas and his family - we were given such a warm welcome and the food was delicious. The villa was easy to find and a short drive (10 - 15 mins depending on how you drive!) to Georgioupolis where there was a range of beaches and lots of tavernas. Diane responded to questions really quickly and was very helpful - the local guide provided in the villa was excellent. A great villa, would highly recommend it - Thank you!
