Villa Metapothia

Gavalohori - Villa

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.
