About this property

Tastefully renovated Cretan traditional house with private pool

Spiti Athinà is is a wonderful holiday house with a large swimming pool (6x10m) in an authentic village, only a few miles from the coast. This traditional Cretan village house has been tastefully renovated into a cosy vacation villa for 6 persons. The 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms (1 down and 1 up) all have an individual character. During the restoration works, many of the original authentic elements were kept. In the living room the original natural stones are still visible. There is a wonderful shaded terrace, which adjoins the house towards the swimming pool. Under the shady vines is a magnificent stone table and bench, where you could spend many happy hours: for a chat, for a drink, with a view of the pool and garden with olive and citrus trees and enjoying the splendid mountain views. Here you can also enjoy a siesta on the sunbeds in the shadow, or spend delicious long evenings in the open air when the pool is lighted. The Mediterranean climate and the crickets does the rest.

Beautiful villa
We have stayed in many villas but this one was by far the best. The pool was amazing, the views were breathtaking and the accommodation just perfect for our much needed family holiday. The local village is just a short stroll away and we soon settled into village life. Our week ended with an amazing event of traditional Cretan music which we were privileged to attend with all the villagers. Just perfect

Heerlijk huis in gezellig dorp
We hebben een fantastische vakantie gehad in dit heerlijke ruime huis waar alles aanwezig was wat je nodig hebt. Genoten van het mooie grote zwembad, het gezellige dorpje met twee goede restaurantjes, even een frappe drinken op het dorpsplein. Strand is vlakbij. Het heeft ons werkelijk aan niets ontbroken!

Traumhafter Urlaub
Ein sehr schönes Haus, traumhafter Pool, kleiner idyllischer Ort. Die Vermieter jederzeit erreichbar und Sanja- die Hauskeeperin- eine Perle. Wir haben das Haus bereits zum 2.mal gebucht und waren wieder begeistert.

An oasis in the middle of Gavalochori
This is a lovely unusual house very close to the centre of the village of Gavalochori. The outside terrace area is a delightful space to relax in and the large pool is wonderfully refreshing and clean. Inside the house there is a small but functional kitchen/dining area. The beds are very comfortable and there is a balcony off the upstairs double bedroom. The only suggestion I would make would be regarding the showers in both bathrooms - it would be nicer if they were more powerful! Apart from that it is a great house to relax in and is well located, being a few minutes walk from the tavernas and shops in Gavalochori.

Why they chose this property

Gavalohori is a lovely village with a typical atmosphere. It is situated about 3 miles from the sea, but the authentic Cretan atmosphere has remained. It is situated northwest Crete, between the 2 charming cities Chania and Rethymnon. Gavalohori has some nice kafeneions and tavernas, a bakery and mini markets, which makes your stay very pleasant and comfortable. You will feel at home ànd enjoy holidays at the same time!

What makes this property unique

Our restored house is situated in the village and we enjoy being surround by Cretan people and the real Cretan life. Sometimes neighbors offer us olive oil, some eggs, oranges, grapes they cultivated themselves and they feel so proud about it! The Greek hospitality is amazing!
