Villa Maza in the sleepy village of Maza, North West Crete, is a charming house with a private pool in a quiet rural location that makes an ideal choice for either families or as a secluded romantic hideaway for couples and honeymooners.

The House is traditionally built on one level in Cretan stone. It stands alone commanding stunning views across the lush green valley to the White Mountains beyond. It has extensive lawned gardens surrounding the house and a large private pool. Its terraces and gardens provide a perfect setting for sunbathing during the day and al fresco meals in the evening.

Villa Maza is fitted and furnished to a very high standard with stone floors, wooden ceiling, Cretan arches and traditional wooden furnishings. The kitchen is fully equipped and includes a dishwasher, washing machine, full cooker and fridge freezer. The large living room/dining room has two comfortable sofas and a fireplace, tv and dvd and a dining table with chairs. There are three bedrooms; one double, one twin and one single (which has an extra full-sized pull out bed beneath the single bed) .

All are air conditioned. The double and single bedrooms have French doors leading on to the terrace. The bathroom is beautifully tiled and provides both a bath and shower.

Daily specials, cooked by Voula , are served, including fresh salads, vegetable dishes and meat or fish off the grill as well as a selection of drinks. You will receive a warm welcome here.

What The Papers Say

“You love the idea of splendid isolation in a remote villa, but wouldn’t it be nice to have somewhere lively to stroll in the evening? Here’s the ideal compromise. Villa Maza, which sleeps six, is tucked away on the edge of Maza village (pop:100), in the foothills of the White Mountains, and it’s peaceful as you could wish. "

"A five-minute wander down the track, however, takes you to the main square and one of the best little kafeions in Crete. It’s a couple of gossiping pensioners by day, but in the evening locals flock from miles around for Voula’s simple but excellent home cooking and the banter of chummy Kostas, who has a habit of breaking into song without warning. It’s all rather fab, and the Blue Flag beaches at Giorgopoli are just 10 minutes’ drive away”
