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.

The villa can be used as a base for visiting several points of interest in the area:

Amazing villa
We had a wonderful stay. The villa was amazing with stunning architecture and the pools catered for all. It was such a special villa, it felt exclusive and the space was amazing. The air conditioning was definately needed!! Honestly cannot fault it. Highly recommended for families of all ages. The town is also wonderful with a lovely gift shop and various fantastic restaurants and importantly retains a traditional Greek vibe..

A wonderful villa in a great village. Mrs Fruso is a amazing and helpful housekeeper/host. Having 2 pools was a real treat and the bottom one is very long so good for a few lengths to keep fit. Restaurants a short walk down the hill and a shop. Beach 5 mins away by car in Almyrida. We did scuba diving there. Also lots of beach bars and restaurants. We went on a boat cruise in Kalyves. Water park just over an hour away beyond Chania. Nice and quite neighbourhood. Less than an hour from Chania and the fantastic maritime museum. We did most of our big shops in the Lidls around Chania and topped up at smaller shops in Gavalochori and Almyrida. We also did the Samaria Gorge walk- very hot and tiring but well worth it. Take some flip flops for the beach at the end-it is a gravel beach and very hot in the sun.

Wonderful villa
The villa is beautiful, the pools are amazing. A short walk to town with cafe, shop and taverna. 10 minutes in car to main town with beach and lovely restaurants. We had one day at the water park near Chania which was only 40 minutes drive. Our children had a magical time.

Amazing villa close to a vibrant village square
We had an excellent stay in this beautiful villa. Check in was easy, the wonderful host had left us ample supplies of essentials as well as some welcome gifts. Everything worked as it should and there was good wi-fi inside and outside. The pools are excellent.. One for swimming, and the infinity pool for chilling. Both perfectly clean and fresh. A 5 minute walk is the village square with several well stocked shops, bars and restaurants. I certainly recommend this villa. 10/10.

Absolutely fantastic!
The pictures online match perfectly with what we experienced during our stay. The host communicated quickly and everything in the house was very clean. It is a very spacious property with excellent views of the surrounding mountains. The walk to the village is absolutely delightful, great places to eat, drink, and just enjoy the small village. We would return without reservation.
