Villa Artemis, Vrisses, Crete           

2km from Vrisses, high on a terraced hillside in a remarkably peaceful setting, near the tiny village of Philipos, Villa Artemis enjoys superb, panoramic views over green and verdant olive groves and rolling wooded countryside to the distant vivid blue sea. Built on three levels, the villa provides ideal accommodation for larger families with a generous living area and air conditioning in all three bedrooms.

The well furnished open plan living area is notable for its comfortable seating, with a choice of two leather sofas around the large coffee table by the fireplace.   On the far side of the room is a formal dining area and then the well equipped kitchen with all mod cons including a small dish-washer.

At first floor level are two double and one twin bedroom each with its own private terrace/balcony and sharing a family bathroom. There is also a shower room on the ground floor.

Patio doors from the living room open out to a covered terrace overlooking the attractive 9m x 4m pool with lawned gardens to the side and a number of shady olive trees, plus a purpose built barbecue with a tiled patio area offering the same wonderful open vistas of the countryside below. 

For wining and dining there's a good choice of tavernas in Vrisses but for a simple meal and a touch of real local colour, visit the cafenion in the tiny village of Maza just 5 minute drive down the hill from Philipos and already a favourite with our customers staying in Villa Artemis. If you would prefer not to stray far from your lovely surroundings then Despina, the owner of Villa Artemis lives locally and  will happily prepare and deliver a Cretan Dish or two at a reasonable cost.

Georgioupolis with its long sandy beach and a huge selection of tavernas is a further 5 minutes drive.

Bonus bedrooms: Built  into the eaves of the house at second floor level and reached by a fairly steep wooden staircase and through a curtained doorway, is a simple double bedroom with pine floors, low level bed, bedside tables and a small sitting area but with a  fan but without air con. There is also a single bedroom on the ground floor. As Villa Artemis has just one bathroom and one shower room, we consider this Villa best suited to parties of 6 or less. However if you are a party of up to 9 who would like to use all 5 bedrooms  then you are welcome to use these bedrooms at no extra cost.  

Location of Villa Artemis
Georgioupolis / Vrisses, Crete
Although Georgioupolis with its lovely sandy beaches is now a thriving seaside resort it still retains a pleasing rural ambience. Tavernas and cafes surround the bustling village. In Vrisses, huge Plane trees line the road where you will find mini-markets, a bank and a bakery (do try the cheese pies). In the morning this is a bustling little town, but by mid-day the pace slows and the tavernas spread their tables out towards the banks of the river Voutakis ...More about Georgioupolis / Vrisses >>
