1 Bedroom Villa in Apokoronas, Vrises

*** 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 (https://www.freelancevillas.com/georgioupolis-villas/) 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.

Anthony Jul 9, 2025 11:14:00 PM
Summary: This was, I think, our 6th stay at the Villa Olivia and it was as peaceful and enjoyable as all the others. A beautifully prepared villa in a lovely location with a great pool. What's not to like? The shades over the outside dining area had been removed which meant that it was not really useable after late morning.
Andrew Oct 26, 2024 01:00:08 AM
Summary: Excellent as usual. Second time here, very quiet and secluded, just what we wanted. Nothing
JOHN Oct 25, 2024 12:54:33 AM
Summary: Quite and peaceful location but close enough to village to make life easy. Nothing
Mike Oct 25, 2024 12:54:15 AM
Summary: 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.
Ann Jul 24, 2023 11:23:58 PM
Summary: The dishwasher was not working and after being ‘fixed ‘it still did not work. Everything else was excellent.
Anthony Jul 18, 2023 11:23:38 PM
Summary: Lovely quiet rural location, clean and beautifully equipped property with a lovely pool. Highly recommended. Slightly softer beds in the second bedroom would be nice.
Nicholas Jul 10, 2023 09:13:16 PM
Summary: Great location, spotlessly clean, great views, perfect pool, housekeeping super efficient. Our second villa provided by Freelance and the standard and service remain first class
Andrew Jul 4, 2023 11:23:54 PM
Summary: Classy villa, lovely pool, great setting, lovely beds , spacious. What more could you ask for. Maybe in the future perhaps some screening by the pool , as a new villa is being built next door.
Jonathan Jul 3, 2023 11:32:47 PM
Summary: Sublime views, wonderful pool, a first-class villa.
NANCY Sep 2, 2022 11:20:35 PM
Summary: Everything was fantastic- the location, the villa, the pool, we loved being there and are so sad we are back home! Only a couple of really minor things! We felt it would be more helpful to have a folder of instructions- with all info there in one place regarding amenities, rubbish removal, local area and checking out etc. We did like the online pdf, but there was a lot to read though on a phone We also thought the instructions to get to the villa were a little complicated to read while driving and actually our satnav did a great job getting us there. Everything else was wonderful, thank you very much!
