It has 3 levels: Ground floor comprising a spacious living room overlooking the 40 sq m private pool, fully fitted luxury kitchen and cloakroom with WC. The first floor has three double sized bedrooms each with its own en-suite bathroom. One has a bath with shower (great for younger children.) The large roof terrace has a den/lounge with sofa bed for additional 2 people. Ideal for private sunbathing and/or having drinks while taking in the commanding views. At night the sparkling lights from across the bay are simply breath taking.

The village is renowned for keeping ancient Cretan traditions alive, including manufacture of hand made lace, silk, pottery and honey.

There are 3 cafenions in the village. There are also two small supermarkets, stocking a good range of fresh locally grown fruit and vegetables, bottled, canned and frozen goods to stock the villa freezer. They also sell home brewed raki (the local spirit of choice) and locally pressed olive oil. The village also has an excellent bakery, open all hours and offering a wide range of breads, hand raised cheese and apple pies. Watersports are available at Almirida beach. Scuba diving in Chania. Horseriding in Georgeopoli. There are many walks in the area to enjoy plus plenty of birds.

Further details for this vacation rental in Gavalochori, Greece

Villa Kournedes sits on a large plot, is comfortably furnished and surrounded by Cypress trees. The landscape looking along the valley to the sea is a vibrant contrast of evergreen trees against the deep reds and browns of the mountains (snow capped in the cooler months) and the deep blue of the sea. With no neighbours to worry about, you can relax in the privacy of the large swimming pool, with superb views, hearing occasional ringing of distant goat bells in the valley below. Although private, the property is less than a mile (1.5km) from the centre of the village of Gavalohori with mini markets, tavernas and pastry shop. Its less than 5 kms from the blue flag -child- friendly - sandy beach and watersport facilities of Almirida and approximately 30km to the Venetian port of Chania.  The three bedrooms, each with ensuite bathroom, have views of mountains and/or sea - imagine waking to breath taking views every day! The bedrooms have large terraces with ample space to sun bath.

But if you really want to get away from it - walking up the gated, external staircase to the roof terrace provides you with even more surprises. A second living area overlooking the treetops provides views that are in a league of their own. (One local describing them as 'better than a tonic!') All rooms have air conditioning and central heating for year round comfort. The lounge leads directly onto the swimming pool terrace via a large, shady veranda with feature stone seat wrapping around the building. A further veranda, off the well equipped kitchen, provides an ideal breakfast area with scenic views. The lounge has an integrated surround sound DVD, CD system that allows iPods to be connected (and charged) so you can listen to your favourate music or use those provided. USB devices connect to play media files. A digital safe, large enough to store a laptop and/or valuables, provides security and peace of mind.
