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.

The private swimming pool measures 8.4m x 4m with a depth of 1.45m to 1.75m
