A luxury villa is exactly wat it is. 2 pools and a big living space. The village of Gavalochori is little, but has a very good taverna, small supermarket and bakery. The towns of Chania and Rethymno are worth a visit. The downside is that the places and spots to visit are more than a 2-hour drive away. But if you want to stay in and you enjoy sunbathing and a good pool, then this is the place to be.
