Description
*** Featured in Sunday Times "Europe's 50 Best Villas" ***
Turning off the road towards distant Sfakia, on the south coast, above the pretty village of Vrysses you enter a landscape of rolling hills, rich with olive and cypress trees and then, turning again, you find yourself in the very heart of this tranquil and green landscape. Not imposing itself on this beautiful pastoral scene, Villa Olivia’s exterior is totally unassuming. There is nothing ostentatious about the square stone exterior sitting on it's green lawns but drop down off the road, step inside and the Villas delights are revealed, for the stone block walls conceal a beautifully laid out two bedroom Villa where modern style doesn’t compromise on comfort and practicality blends easily with indulgence.
Location
Villa Olivia delivers total relaxed holiday living on every level and is the perfect place to return to whether you have been to the beach at Georgoupolis (10 mins drive), Chania’s or Rethymnon’s Venetian harbours (25 mins drive) or visited Chora Sfakia on the south coast (45 mins drive) to take a ferry trip to Loutro or Ag Roumelli. There is a tiny taverna serving traditional fare in nearby Maza, about 1.5km away or drop into Vrisses at only 3kms and eat at one of the tavernas with tables under the trees by the river.

Amazing place to stay. A beautiful, clean and very well maintained villa with a wonderful swimming pool. Located in a very quiet valley offers an incredible view on the mountains and the olive tree orchards. A short drive from an endlessly long sandy beach ideal for walks. The communication with the Freelance-Holidays team was very smooth and Diane who lives in Chania and can help you with anything you may need. We had a great time and if we are back to Crete we definitively will stay in Villa Olivia again.

A terrific place embraced by a wonderful olive tree garden with a fabulous swimming pool, quiet spot for very relaxing holidays. The house is spotlessly clean and very beautifully decorated. An endlessly long beach is just a short car drive away. And if you are hungry - make sure you are because you will eat greek portions - go to neighbouring Maza to Costas’s Traverna. The best local food in the whole Crete. Freelance-holidays team was amazing, communication with them was always perfect and they were always very helpful. Many thanks.
