Description
Owned by Manousos and named after his daughter, this lovely old house has been painstakingly renovated and is now a handsome air-conditioned villa, fitted out and equipped to a remarkably high standard furnished with many beautiful pieces. Polished wood floors, high beamed ceilings and exposed stonework all add to the period flavour. Plus a salt water pool in the garden is extremely inviting.
Location - Vrisses
Villa Faye provides an exceptionally comfortable base for exploring this green and verdant area in the rural heart of Crete, yet it's still only a 10 to 15 minute drive to the "Blue Flag" sandy beaches of Georgioupolis.

Villa Faye is a beautiful villa. It is up on a hill and very peaceful. The bedrooms and living rooms are spacious and well equipped. The pool area is gorgeous with lovely outdoor space. The owners are very hospitable and left us a huge bag of delicious oranges. Vrisses, Georgioupolis and Kalyves are all within easy reach. Given the villa's location, you do need a car. There is a menu in the villa for a restaurant called 'Progoulis' in Vrisses. We ordered takeaways one evening, which they were very happy to deliver up the hill - the food was delicious!
Would highly recommend Villa Faye! |

Beautiful countryside setting. A very well equipped house with beautiful pool and views of hills. The gift of the juicing oranges was a lovely touch. Not far to walk into Vrisses and lots of walks on small lanes around the house to other villages.

Lovely views across the countryside, masses of space inside the villa and very well equipped kitchen. Nearby Vrisses is a lovely village with some great tavernas and an amazing bakery in a walkable distance. Good sized pool which we all enjoyed! The only sounds are the cicadas and sheep bells - so relaxing and peaceful.

We have stayed in several Freelance villas in Crete and we felt that Villa Faye was this the best we have enjoyed so far.
The house was immaculately restored and the mature garden with pool was a lovely place to relax. The views are stunning, especially from the first floor sun terrace. There is more than ample space for 6 adults with all the facilities you could want, with air conditioning in all bedrooms and a total of 5 televisions! (Although we never switched them on - preferring to admire the views). The kitchen had all the appliances you could possibly want and the washing machine was very useful. Location was excellent, about a 20 minute walk from the village of Vrysses, and a short drive to the beaches of Georgioupolis and Kalyves. For keen walkers the villa is also close to some of the Chania trails, which are well marked. |

Manousos is a most helpful host who made us feel entirely at home and was quick to respond to any issues we had. He even invited us to Easter lunch with his family at his nearby home. The location is excellent, feeling beautifully isolated and yet in reality only a short drive from the town. The villa has been put back to its former glory with tremendous style and is exceptionally well appointed with appliances, kitchen utensils, quality furniture. The pool is not too deep (a good thing) but a good enough size to get some exercise. Ten out of ten.

Amazing setting in the hills between Chania and Rethymno. Great walks to nearby villages. Pool was a huge hit for our family. Very comfortable and well appointed house. Diana of Freelance provides great local tips and was a big help to us in retrieving forgotten items from our previous place. Villa Faye added a lot to an already wonderful stay in Crete.
