Villa Artemis
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.

This was a beautiful and spacious property. Magnificant views. The pool was large. Property is well maintained and appointed.Lots of seperate outside seating areas around the house to take yourself off to read in private. We made lots of use of the outside bbq and dining area each evening. No hesitation in recommending.

Beautiful Crete
We (family of 5 adults) had a fantastic, relaxing break in this lovely, secluded villa - beautiful views, well-equipped inside and outside. Brilliant location, good access to north and south-west coasts, variety of activities within reasonable distance. An abundance of local restaurants, food amazing! Will definitely be returning!
