This is one of the most delightful and wonderful places we have ever stayed in. The villa is very tastefully and stylishly designed using stonework of the highest craftsmanship. The rooms are luxuriously large and comfortable. if The house is fully equipped with modern, excellent amenities - everything is provided! The 2 pools are generous and absolutely delightful and is designed for all swimming levels. The mini waterfall flowing from the upper pool into the longer pool was so relaxing and we spent many hours sitting by the pool and swimming. The view from the house is absolutely stunning and I will always remember the sunsets over the mountains from the decking. There is a fantastic bakery and a well stocked grocery and convenience store literally a few steps away in the village. There is also a super restaurant that has live music and serves wonderful food very close. Gavalochori village is a lovely location for exploring Crete and is well located for all the major beaches and sites especially with a rented car (there is space to park at least 2 cars off night more). You will absolutely love it in this villa. Eveything about it is perfect. it easilly accommodated 8 of us with room to spare and we all felt so relaxed and happy here. I really hope we can come back again. if you get a chance to stay here just do it, you will be glad you did. it's a once in a lifetime experience.
