Amazing family vacation in a unique property


Villa Marianna is a unique resort for private and relaxing family vacations, at the authentic region of Apokoronas in Chania prefecture, with uninterrupted view of western Crete landscape.

A modern and spacious villa offering comfortable stay for up to 8  guests, situated in a private property of 2000sqm, surrounded by olive and orange trees in a walking distance from the beautiful village of Vryses.

With numerous spots to relax and calm for adults, villa Marianna is the best choice for big families. The kids will enjoy endless hours of fun at the big pool and the gardens around the villa.

Villa Marianna was built with focus on every detail, aiming to cover the needs of a big family, or group of friends looking for a comfortable and safe vacation stay.

Villa Marianna is a house of modern design with spacious interior, equipped with all amenities so as to have a peace of mind during your stay. Nothing to think other than your precious vacation time.

The main kitchen and living/dining room are on the first floor. Three bedrooms with wooden ceiling and each with its own balcony are on the second floor.

The lovely hostel downstairs with separate entrance from the main house is a fully equipped apartment with a bedroom, living room, bathroom and kitchen offering extra privacy even within the same group of guests.

The one of its kind exterior with a big 50sqm tile covered swimming pool, the amazing barbeque, the waterfalls, the stone colorful creations in the amazing gardens, the backyard of fruit trees, will create you life time memories.

With respect to Cretan tradition and the world famous hospitality, our aim is to provide nothing less but the best and make you feel like home.

For us success is our guests to have a memorable stay in our villa, become our friends and choose again and again our villa as their favorable vacation resort.

Either from Chania airport or Heraklion airport the access of the villa is quite easy and safe. Vrysses village is a couple of km from the north national road of Crete which directly connects the two airports of Crete.

The village of Vrysses is at walking distance from the villa. Vrysses is the capital and at the heart of Apokoronas region. At the village you can find all the necessary for your stay while the taverns alongside the river offer Cretan tradinional cousine.

The long sandy beaches of Georgioupolis, Kavros, Almyrida and Kalyves are a few minutes away. Water sports, shopping, restaurants and bars offer so many options in all these destinations.

Just 2 km away is the north national road that connects the major cities of Crete, Chania on the left and Heraklion on the right.

Vryses is also the starting point for breathtaking routes to south Crete and Sfakia area through the sierra of White Mountains.

Looking forward to host you in brilliant villa Marianna!

Lovely place
We loved the villa and the surrounding area. We enjoyed the quiet countryside and local village but also only a short drive to the beach. The villa was very comfortable and had everything we needed. The pool was fabulous and we loved the outdoor kitchen area and cooked homemade pizza's in the wood fired oven which was a real treat. Thank you to the hosts who were responsive and helpful to any questions we had.

Fantastic place
Absolutely fantastic is all I can say!!!! The owners were so welcoming and warm. Any issue or query we had was attended to there and then. Any advice we needed they were on hand any time of day! the outside of this villa is stunning! Absolutely perfect location. Near a beach. Near tourist areas but also traditional Crete is right on your doorstep. The local shops bars and taverns on right on hand with the freshest of produce… we were so so sad to leave but left with the best memories and the most relaxed version of ourselves in a while. The outside bbq area was a huge hit with hubby. And the apartment underneath was perfect for the grandparents. They said it was the best holiday they have ever had. This holiday this villa this family this location has a special part in our hearts. Xxx

Fantastic Villa
Me and my family have just returned from our holiday and everything was wonderful. The villa is stunning and absolutely spotless. Located in a lovely village just a short walk away you had the best of both worlds - privacy with the option of walking to some lovely taverns. The local beach is 15 minutes away and is stunning. The hosts went above and beyond to make our stay memorable. Always available if we needed anything and even provided us with a delicious meal for our first evening!! This was our first vist but wont be our last. Thank you so very much.

Magical stay for my father’s 70th birthday
We rented as a group of five adults and one under-2 toddler for my father’s birthday. Lilla and George were incredibly welcoming and helpful from first email contact through our entire stay at the property. The photos are accurate and the property is a lovely space to stay in, about 5-10 minutes’ stroll from Vrysses village centre and 15mins drive or so from Georgiopolis and the nearest beaches. George also arranged for a wonderful home-cooked celebration meal for my Dad to be prepared on one of the nights. The food was lovely, very reasonably priced and it really made our trip special. We look forward to coming back!

A surprise in the Crete countryside
It doesn’t get better than sitting in the evening sunshine surrounded by olive groves & fruit trees, watching the sun setting over the mountains. This property is a tranquil haven away from the tourist areas, a place to truly relax & feel like you’ve got away from it all. It’s only a short drive to a wealth of different beaches to choose from, and shore-lined tavernas & cafe bars. We liked Kalivaki beach & the long stretch of sand by Poseidon Beach bar. But when we wanted a relaxing day at the villa, lounging by the pool, it had everything we needed. We had 6 in our family group & the villa was perfect with ample space. The hosts, George & Lila, were very attentive & helpful, and quick to respond if we needed advice about the local area. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this wonderful villa to others; & I hope to be back again one day in the future.

Fantastic property with plenty of space and a wonderful pool
We had a wonderful week. The property is beautiful with plenty of outside space including balconies to enjoy evening meals on and a brilliant bbq area including a pizza oven. The pool is more than big enough to properly enjoy. The local village is very picturesque and the shops there have everything required for your stay. George & Lila the owners of the villa and were always happy advise, help or assist wherever they could. Also the villa is only 15 mins drive from the beach. I would highly recommend staying here.

Villa Marianna
We had a great holiday at Villa Marianna. The villa has lots of outdoor space and seating areas with a good sized clean pool (which the kids spent most of their time in!) Inside the villa it is very clean with plenty of room for the 6 of us that stayed. The annex was perfect for my mum who travelled with us, as she had her own space yet not too far away to join us whenever she wanted. Lila, George and Poppi were the perfect hosts, always at hand for any queries we had or providing recommendations on local restaurants and things to see/do in the area. Throughout the trip they made sure we were ok and the gifts from Poppi were a nice gesture and were well received 😀. Being central to Chania and Rethymno and close to the main National Road is was easy to visit both of them. The Old Towns in both of these are worth a visit, also travelling to the south of the island over the mountains gives you some stunning views and is recommended. All in all a great villa and holiday even with the implications of Covid going on we were able to relax and have a great time. If we returned to this area we would definitely consider staying here again if available!
