What a beautiful, spacious and quiet spot! Set on a hillside overlooking the typical Cretan village of Gavalochori, the house -set on a lovely broad terrace with a smallish pool, a gas BBQ and lots of shaded seating space- is a gem. There are glorious views over the stunning White Mountains, to the west, and Souda Bay to the North. The accommodation is perfect for two people and just as described. The beaches at Almyrida and Kalyaves are lovely, Chania and Rethymno are a pretty easy drive away and full of lovely places to visit, and Georgioupili (closer) has its charms too. A car is definitely needed and the local roads are narrow and twisty in places…but very well worth the effort. Very highly recommended.
