“ Exquisite family Villa with views to quintessential olive terraced hillsides ” 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 space Villa Avra, Vrisses, Crete This beautifully finished Villa offers spacious accommodation laid out over three levels. 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 terraced rock garden, lawns, a covered barbecue area furnished with dining table and chairs and of course the lovely 9m x 4m pool. Location 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 Costa, 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.
