Maza is a tiny hillside village of a few traditional stone houses and has a sleepy square with a small chapel and two tavernas – just a five minute walk from the Villa Kontis. The surrounding landscape contains valleys of pine forest and olive groves unfolding towards the White Mountains. Nearby Vrisses offers a good selection of shops and tavernas.

Villa Kontis enjoys a peaceful and private location. The original house of stone has been restored and extended to incorporate traditional and modern features. Spacious interiors, with open beamed ceilings of cypress wood, open out to attractive stone terraces. An upper terrace contains a barbecue and dining area with three 300-year old pine trees and a large mulberry tree, providing shade by day and a dramatic feature by night with concealed lighting. A middle garden terrace leads down to the pool terrace and then up to a delightful courtyard of many potted plants.
