About this property

Villa Armonia

Armonia villa (meaning 'harmony') is the second and newest villa of the Prinolithos villa estate with building completed in 2012; its contemporary character, design and layout brings just that to this traditional estate - harmony.

The driveway flows from the gate to the side of the villa passing a stone-stepped pathway that meanders past the lush wild gardens with olive trees, rosebushes, locust trees and shrubs. Cool grey, light blue and warm beige colors, modern tiles and refreshing furnishings add to this modern villa's style.

This villa, which can accommodate up to 7 people, is made up of a modern and well equipped kitchen open to a spacious living room with fireplace and piano, 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a large outdoor furnished terrace with barbeque and an infinity swimming pool that can be heated for an extra fee of 280.00 Euros per week.

The entrance level is home to the kitchen and living area as well as to one bedroom with twin beds, one bathroom with walk-in shower and a laundry room with washing machine, iron, ironing board and wash line.

The upstairs level has two bedrooms and a bathroom with walk-in shower. The first a queen sized bed and balcony with spectacular views to the pool, Gavalohori village, the mountains and sea. The other bedroom (maisonette-style) has an a sofa bed as you enter the room and stairs that lead up to the ondas level with two single beds. This room shares the balcony of the master bedroom.

The infinity swimming pool with cascading waters features fine details and measures 50sqm with depths from 1m to 1.6m. The areas around the pool include the furnished terrace, outdoor shower, sun loungers and umbrellas. In the low season and mid season the pool can be heated for an extra fee of 280.00 Euros per week (payable in cash to the house manager).

A second terrace on the south side is warm and has views to the gardens and the shore of Almyrida.All villa kitchens include a dishwasher, fridge/freezer, oven, extractor fan, microwave oven, coffee machine, kettle, toaster, bread bin, crockery and cutlery.

Welcome basket includes: coffee, tea, sugar, margarine/butter, fresh bread, feta cheese, Cretan olive oil, tomatoes, cucumber, seasonal fruit, mineral water, fruit juice, fresh milk, cake, crisps and biscuits (some items may be changed due to covid regulations).

Swimming pools: Each villa has its own private infinity swimming pool measuring 50 sqm. Extra care is taken to service the pools regularly, maintain correct PH levels and ensure the water is crystal clear and most importantly safe for you and your family to enjoy. For this reason, a serviceman will visit twice a week to maintain these at optimal levels.


*** As of January 01, 2024, the Greek government have replaced the old “bed tax” with a new tax that is applied to all stays in short-term rental accommodation in Greece. The Climate Resilience Levy is a response to the devastating forest fires and floods that Greece has experienced in recent years, with the government hoping to generate extra funding that will go towards financing reconstruction, supporting victims, and increasing the country’s defences against future natural disasters.

The owners of all short-term rental accommodation are legally obliged to collect the Climate Resilience Levy as a separate tax for all overnight stays (per villa) as follows:
€10.00 per night on stays between March 01 and October 31, and €4.00 per night on stays between November 01 and February 28/29.

Whilst we understand the potential budget concerns of our guests, this tax/levy is beyond our control and we encourage our guests to see this as a way of contributing to the protection of the planet and the beautiful area where they are holidaying.

The Vrbo/Abritel/Fewo system does not yet have a section for collecting the Climate Resilience Levy and we, therefore, have had to add it to the billing section as a Host Fee (until Vrbo update their system).

Spectacular location and villa
We spent a week here during an unseasonably cool April. The view from any room in the villa is amazing. Our hosts were wonderfully accommodating and this was an ideal jumping off point to see may sights in western Crete. Highly recommend!

Another Blissful Experience in Gavalochori
We were welcomed back to Anna's accommodation in Gavalochori with open arms. While we had stayed at there sister villa, Prinolithos, this was our first time experiencing Armonia, right next door, but very very private. We were not disappointed. The view is so incredible that it is hard to imagine you'll ever want to leave the villa, you could spend hours just looking down to Almyrida, and Souda Bay. We love the goats just below the house, in the neighbouring paddock, and enjoy watching them as the sun sets before we head out to the village for dinner. We HIGHLY recommend eating at Monica's Taverna down the hill in the nearest village, Gavalochori, and enjoyed lunch, dinner and even breakfast there many many times, the staff are so inviting and friendly and the food delicious. Anna went out of her way, as did her cleaning, gardening and pool staff to make sure the property was so well maintained, always clean and had excellent customer service. Villa Armonia is our home away from home, we will be back. Thank You Anna

Une vue magnifique !
Accès facile en autonomie. La maison est conforme à la description. La piscine est grande et la vue est à couper le souffle. Le piano, la table de ping-pong et les vélos sont des plus. Jolies attentions à l’arrivée (fruits, petits beurres, café, confiture, boissons, beurre….). Nous y avons passé un excellent séjour !
