Villa Olivia

*** 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.

The best villa we have ever stayed in (and we've stayed in quite a few)

Beautifully designed and built, Villa Olivia has been finished to a remarkably high standard and kitted out with all the facilities and equipment you could ever need. The pool is terrific and the location feels beautifully isolated while actually being only minutes from the shops and tavernas of Vrisses. The owner is very helpful and hospitable. Hard to think of what could improve it, other than a mountain view. Well, you can't create a mountain view! Nor could you control local building and gardening programmes which were in full swing during our April visit, rather disturbing the peace. Quite why a neighbour would want to strim an olve grove every single day remains a mystery. We have only marked down the value for money by one star because we are a couple and so the per-head cost is high - but it is worth it.
