Villa Olivia

Vrises - Villa

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.

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.
