What a lovely place - cozy and pleasantly private! The well-equipped house has everything for a relaxing stay. We really enjoyed the super-clean pool and views from the balcony. The house is also conveniently located from the nearby beaches (9 min drive) and other worth a visit villages. All of the 4 restaurants in the Gavalochori village offer fantastic food and probably another 10 - 15 (or more) great restaurant down at the beach.
We've received many valuable suggestions for sightseeings from the owner but eventually didn't travel too much but enjoyed our time between the house and the nearby beach. We did visit Chania and that was definitely worth it. We stayed in the house for 8 nights but next time we'll plan some more time and explore further this beautiful island.
If there's anything you need, the owner is very quick to respond.
On the downside, there is no internet connection in the house, although 3G is accessible on the premises. We knew this beforehand and took a portable mobile router with us. But who needs an internet on a vacation anyway if there are such a views, hot sun, cool drinks and good food around.
Definitely a place if you want a wonderful, memorable and private vacation. It exceeded our expectations.
