Further comments about the area:

The villa is located on a hillside in the village of Gavalochori in West Crete. Gavalochori is a traditional Cretan village situated in the Apokoron region about 3km inland from the coastal village of Almirida. Its location is 25 km east of Chania which takes about 20 minutes drive along the National Road. Gavalochori is an old historical village with approximately 500 residents which has retained its color and way of life. Several family run tavernas offer the visitor tasty dishes of Cretan cuisine. Near the small village square and within walking distance from the villa there is a coffee shop, a bakery, a mini mart, two tavernas and the Folk Art Museum. The surrounding area has several beautiful nature paths for walking or biking which lead either towards the sea or towards the White mountains. The coastal village of Almirida is less than 10 minutes driving distance. In Almirida you may find all basic facilities, such as a supermarket, pharmacy, post office, bakery, ATM, gas station and taxi service. It has a wonderful sandy beach with crystal clear water and a shallow section particularly suitable for small kids. This Blue Flag rated beach is organized with sun beds and umbrellas and sea sports services. There are several sea side tavernas and bars offering exquisite sea food and night entertainment. The large town of Chania of course offers the visitor a wider range of choices for shopping, dining and night life mostly centered around the old Venetian port. Some interesting monuments in Chania town are the covered Municipal Market, the Venetian fortifications, the Egyptian Lighthouse, the Synagogue, the Fortress of Firkas, the Mosque of Giali Tzamisi, the Arsenals, and the Othrodox Cathedral.

Kreta Paradise
eine wunderbare Unterkunft mit einem fantastischen Blick. Das Haus bietet alles, was einen gelungenen Urlaub ausmacht. Toller Pool mit einem atemberaubenden Ausblick in die Berge. Das Dorf sehr süß und beschaulich mit allem, was man braucht. Besonders hervorzuheben ist der sehr schnelle Kontakt und die sehr gute Versorgung durch das housekeeping vor Ort. Alle Fragen wurden umgehend beantwortet. Wir würden auf jeden Fall wiederkommen!

Beautiful property
Loved this property. The views, pool and overall house were pretty fantastic. We drove in at night and it was a bit tricky to find, but when we awoke it was so beautiful we completely forgot about the drive up. Best to approach in the daylight. It was clean and spacious and we all would return.

Incredible Villa
Such an amazing villa! There were two families in our group, and there was just so much space for us to share. All the bedrooms were large and well appointed - the kitchen too. The living space was very large and comfy. But it’s the outside and pool area that’s the real ‘wow’! We spent so much time by (and in!) the huge, beautiful pool - it was just amazing.

Had a great week at Christos’ villa. Great comms and everthing was as described. 2 fantastic en-suite double and 2 twin rooms. Pool is huge, good temperature and large enough for a proper swim. Pool / beach towels were provided. The housekeeper, Mrs Frosso is a star and brought us any of the staples we needed such as washing machine powder, cleaning materials and she kept us well stocked with Nespresso coffee capsules. Nothing was too much trouble. Christos arranged for some supplies of water, milk, beer, wine and fruit for our arrival. It’s 400m walk downhill to the village where there’s a great bakery, village store and 2 lovely tavernas. Just a short walk uphill back to the villa. In summary very highly recommend for a great stay in Crete.

Perfect base location to explore Crete
This villa is nestled into the mountain village of Gavalochori. Beautiful, serene landscape and views. No human sounds, just nature. Only 7 min. drive from beach town Almyrida with nice restaurants, bakery and small shops. The villa offers great space with 4 bed rooms, We were only 4. The pool was the winner, lots of hang out places, in sun and shade. Perfect place and value for the money. The host was very responsive before and during our stay. We loved our time there!
