Villa Avra
This beautifully finished Villa offers spacious accommodation laid out over three levels and the bonus of having comfy Coco-Mat beds & mattresses. 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 covered barbecue area with dining table and of course the lovely private 9m x 4m pool with sunbeds and umbrellas. A great place to enjoy family time whilst soaking up the sun or enjoying a quiet read under the shade of the olive tree in the garden.
Location
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 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 Kosta, 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.

A 9 out of 10 villa
The villa, pool and garden were lovely, everything we needed and more set in a secluded quiet hilltop location. Close enough to a beautiful coastal village that had shops, restaurants etc
The 3 showers had very, very low water pressure
Wir haben uns im wunderschönen Haus und dem gepflegten Garten mit Pool wirklich wohlgefühlt und unseren Urlaub sehr genossen. Der Ausblick in die Berge, ins Tal bis hin zum Meer ist grandios. Der Service vor Ort (Haus- und Poolreinigung, Gartenpflege) ließ keine Wünsche offen.

Tolles Haus mit Pool in traumhafter Lage
Das Haus ist ein Traum. Tolle Lage mit schöner Aussicht. Die Küche ist super gut ausgestattet. Wir haben uns sehr Wohl gefühlt.
Der Pool könnte etwas wärmer sein. Länger wie 5 Minuten kann man nicht drin bleiben.
Auf dem Balkon in der Küche könnte ein Sonnenschutz zum Frühstück sein.
