The traditional little village of Vrisses lies approx. 30 km from Chania town. The old village square with its tall graceful plane trees, cluster of tavernas and kafenions is the perfect place to observe Cretan village life. Vrisses is also well renowned for its particularly delicious yoghurt.

The four Aspalathos Villas are about 3 km from the village, set high on a hillside, with magnificent panoramic views over the tapestry of rolling countryside dotted with tiny villages, and on to the distant sea; on a clear day one can see all the way to Rethymnon. The villa grounds are rich with shrubs, flowers, and young trees, and are surrounded by mellow stone walls.

Each villa is suitable for up to 4 people, has traditional red tiled roofs, wooden beamed ceilings, terracotta tiled floors, and painted wooden shutters. There is air conditioning in both bedroom and living room, included in the price, and there is a portable BBQ available for guests use.

A: Villas Maria and Vaggelio have their own private swimming pool of 50sqm, set to one side of the house, and from the pool terraces there are glorious unrestricted vistas. There is a spacious open plan living/dining area, with air conditioning, a well-equipped kitchenette with coffee machine, large fridge freezer and a full size cooker. Off this there is a pretty bathroom with small bath/shower/WC, and a washing machine. The master bedroom has air conditioning, a double bed and handsome built in wardrobes. A stone arch with inset wood framed glass doors, leads off the main living area to a further living room/bedroom, with a big stone fireplace, TV and CD-player, and built in sofas, which can comfortably double as a second bedroom.

B: Villas Emmanouela and Argyro These 2 villas share a delightful 55sqm swimming pool, and are all similar in design to Villa Maria, while Emmanouela and Argyro, are raised and reached via a flight of stone steps, while beneath them there are open storage areas.

The village of Georgioupolis, approx. 10 km away, has a beautiful long silken sandy beach, and a good choice of tavernas, shops and tourist amenities. The glorious countryside and the peaceful position of Aspalathos are simply delightful, and offer the very best setting for a relaxing and rejuvenating holiday. We do consider a car to be essential.
