Gavalohori - Villa
Availability and prices
Accommodation
Description
Incredibly spacious both inside and out and exceptionally well equipped, Villa Metapothia is the perfect holiday villa for large parties or extremely spacious for families. The lovely 9m x 6m pool, with integrated jacuzzi bench seating and shallow children's pool is surrounded by plenty of sunbeds and parasols of such a generous size that there's space for all. For those who'd also like a little 'time out', each of the 6 en suite, air conditioned bedroom (except for one which has a small sitting area nearby) has its own private balcony furnished with rattan furniture. There's also a lovely 'chill out' area under a pergola in the garden.
Did we also mention the magnificent views encompassing Crete’s White Mountains and the blue sea of Souda Bay glistening down a green and wooded valley.....?
Location Gavalohori
The Villa sits on a quiet hillside at the end of a lane that winds gently up the 130 metres from the village past a number of neighbouring houses, originally the width of 2 passing donkeys, it has now been widened to accommodate a normal saloon car.
Amongst the village streets in Gavalohori you'll find 3 excellent tavernas, a bakery and a couple of mini markets, one of which offers a delivery service by quad bike. It's also useful to know, for larger groups, that one of the village tavernas offers a great take away service and another in nearby Almyrida will deliver. Just a few minutes drive away, this small and low key resort offers a choice of tavernas strung around the crescent of soft sand where shallow waters lap onto the shoreline. There is also a selection of shops as well as a few cafes and bars.
The White Mountains beg to be explored and Chania and Rethymnon are both within an easy drive.

We had a really great stay at this beautiful Villa! Diane was a perfect host which answered all of our questions when we had one. The view and pool are stunning and the house has al the things that you need. The Village is very nice and calm and there are a few nice restaurants and a mini market on walking distance. If you want to go to chania its a 30min drive. A nice beach is about 10-15 min drive away. A great house and a great stay in beautiful Crete!

This was the best holiday rental we have ever had. It was very comfortable for 12 people, ranging in age from 6 to 71 years old. Two large tables and chairs for 12 a great pool with a section where little non-swimmers were safe air conditioning throughout plenty of dishes and pans in the kitchen everything clean and beautiful. It was really fully equipped and well located. The sunsets and sunrises were spectacular! This was a spectacular rental with absolutely top facilities. The whole family felt at home and thought coming back would be fun.

The view from the villa is even beautiful than the photos! Apart from the beautiful sea view, the Mountain View is also amazing! The villa is located in a beautiful village called Gavalohori with Nice Nearby beaches within 5 minutes driving and lots of mini markets and nice restaurants within walking distance. Meanwhile one can still enjoy whole privacy! The villa is fully equipped and is very functional. One can always find some shade the whole day! Swimming pool is really big for a group of people and we enjoyed it quite a lot ! As we do not have a car, a Taxi nearby is really a great bonus! Diane is the most kind host we have ever met and the home made cake is really tasty!Highly recommend for anyone who are having vacation in Crete and want to experience the true colour of Crete!
