Description This recently restored traditional Cretan stone house dating back 50 years, sits in lovely countryside on the small road which runs between Vrisses and Georgioupolis, amidst gardens of olive trees and pretty flowers. Villa Stella with wooden beamed ceilings, is suitable for 5-6 people, having two bedrooms, one with a double bed and one single bed, the other bedroom with twin beds, a living room with one sofa bed and an old fire place, a kitchen, bathroom and a terrace. Built into the rear of the house in traditional style is an old original Cretan oven. This is an ideal spot for country lovers and for those who like dwellings with history and character. Thanks to stone walls and clay tiles, the house remains cool in summer and warm in winter.

Central heating is available if required.



The little house is about 2 km from the village of Vrisses and 4 km from the sea at Georgioupolis. Tavernas, kafenions and shops can all be found in Vrisses. A car is essential.

NotesThe village of Georgioupolis with it’s particularly beautiful setting between sea and mountain, is situated between the towns of Rethymno, a 30 minute journey by car and Chania which is a 45 minute drive away. This charming village with its long stretch of sandy beach and river running into the sea, was until recent times a sleepy little fishing village in an out of the way place. Over the past 20 years it has slowly grown into a very popular little holiday resort, with a wide range of tavernas, shops, cafes, boutiques and other tourist amenities. The beautiful countryside surrounding the village is ideal for those keen on walking, while the splendid sandy shore and relaxed sea side atmosphere make it ideal for beach lovers. There is an excellent bus service in all directions and thus it is possible to go quite far afield, for example to Heraklion (90min journey) or the south coast perhaps to visit Phaistos or Matala. An outing to Frangokastello is also worthwhile. Closer to home there are interesting visits to be made to the old quarters of Chania and Rethymno. Lake Kournas, famed as the only fresh water lake on Crete and haven for wild life, is within walking distance from Georgioupolis. Some distance outside the village, a long row of hotels sits alongside the sweeping almost 10 km long pale fine sandy beach and crystal clear waters. However, a part of timeless old Georgioupolis remains very much in place. As in years gone by, the eucalyptus tree lined square remains the perfect place to sit and watch the villagers meet each other in the kafenions to exchange the news of the day over a coffee or ouzo,and more: Crete by horse, here in Georgioupolis, exciting beach rides, beautiful mini-safaris and relaxing day trips. Green hills, goat-tracks, olive groves, herbs and wild flowers, the unique Lake of Kournas, Argiroupoli’s waterfalls, many small friendly villages and a superb beach combine to make this the holiday experience of a lifetime !
