Further details for this vacation rental in Gavalochori, Greece

The villa overlooks the village of Gavalahori which is just over 1km away. A lovely walk downhill, for a refreshing glass of something cool at the village Taverna, but a bit of a hike back up and only for those who are fit. The village has a baker, a couple of kafeneons, three tavernas, a supermarket and a Lace cooperative shop. The village of Vamos is 1km behind the villa and has a number of tavernas, a bank, a bar, gyro (the best!) chemist ,petrol stations and a range of other shops. The nearest beach is Almerida which is 7km (10 min drive) away. Good for kids, sandy, many tavernas and a few bars. Nearest town is Chania , 35 mins drive and worth a visit alone for sitting at the harbourside bars/tavernas in the evening and watching the world go by. For those interested in history, Aptera is 20 mins away, an abandoned town with Greek/Roman/Byzantine ruins. The villa has a panoramic view, sea to the north, white mountains to the south, sunsets and sunrises that are breathtaking

Other Activities: go-karts, bowling

Wonderful villa

Review Submitted: August 22, 2009 Date of Stay: August 2009
Just returned from 2 weeks at villa agavanos had a fantastic time,the villa is huge and plenty of space for our family of 6.The village of vamos is not to far away and the locals really friendly, the pool was a good size and very clean.We loved the views and there was always something new to look at.Our neighbours were the goats and sheep.The bakery in Vamos sells wonderful bread for breakfast and the fish monger great produce.The accomadation was great and had everything to make our stay relaxing and stressfree which is my idea of a holiday.

Idyllic Getaway

Review Submitted: November 14, 2008 Date of Stay: August 2008
We were wonderfully impressed with this well planned and designed villa. There was everything we needed with an unexpectedly impressive library of books and DVDs. It was tempting not to explore the Island as staying in the villa was so comfortable and serene.
Without hesitation I would recommend this villa to friends. It is generously sized and immaculately maintained with stunning views, and without doubt one of the best villas we have ever stayed in.

Outstanding Villa Experience

nearly fifty Twickenham
Review Submitted: August 27, 2008 Date of Stay: August 2008
This is the most amazing place, the light and space is spectacular. The villla throughout is at the highest standard, everything has been considered to create a home away from home.

The light and space of the villa's terraces are so relaxing and soothing after the heat of the day, the perfect place to kick back and chill with an iced drink while taking in the breathtaking sweep of the bay. I am not often lost for words but the panoramic 360 views left me speechless.

You can button down the hatches with friends and family spending lazy relaxing days by the pool/taking meals on the terrace, watch the stars at night ( the first floor terrace has a open topped pagoda which gives the effect of being in your own observatory) or take the short journey to the small villages and beachside haunts for authenic food and wine.


Personally I could have stayed much longer if not forever. I would highly recommend this Villa to anyone looking for a truly first class holiday experience.
