Wonderful villa with a nice terrace with a view over the village, the valley and (weather permitting) the mountains. Just sitting there with a cup of coffee in the morning was the highlight of my day. We were a family of 4 - me and my wife plus two kids (4 and 2). It's a great house for a family with lots of space to move and play. There are no toys in the house but at the pool there was a floating mattress, a donut and a few balls. The pool is unheated but I think that is what one would want most of the year in Crete. Even in mid-October we still used it on warm days. There were a couple of lights that didn't work but nothing that was a problem. The kitchen is fairly well equipped for a rental place and there were lots and lots of towels and bath robes and blankets etc. The wifi works but if I switched to 4G on the phone if I wanted fast internet. There's a great big and very comfortable couch that we could all snuggle up in and read stories - or drink wine when the kids were in bed.
The village/Gavalachori has a small baker shop, two tiny supermarkets and a handful of tavernas - i.e. everything you need. There's also a little folklore museum and the whole place has a relaxed and authentic feel to it. Including two old men who appeared to be sitting at the same table on the town square throughout our visit. It's not a good place to be if you are reliant on public transport. But if you have a car it's perfect for visiting many great places in western and central Crete. The furthest we went was Knossos - 2 hours east. It's about 45 minutes to the Chania airport, 8 minutes to the nearest beach, 1 hour 10 minutes to the south coast - and many interesting sights within about a one hour drive. There's a parking space at the villa.
