Villa vacation rentals in Gavalohori

A Slice of Paradise – Five Stars All Around! We had the most incredible time staying at this large and stunning villa in the Loutraki/Chania area. The property is nothing short of breathtaking, with lush, beautifully maintained gardens and crystal-clear water right at your doorstep. The direct beach access was a dream—so easy and convenient—and we spent countless hours floating in the calm sea and enjoying the serene, quiet atmosphere. The views from every direction were spectacular, making it hard to leave the villa! The villa itself is exquisite, with a spacious, well-designed area for cooking and relaxing. It’s the perfect blend of luxury and comfort. Demetrios, our host, went above and beyond, offering incredible hospitality and even surprising me with a birthday cake, which made our stay all the more special. If you’re looking for a tranquil, beautiful retreat this is the place!

Beautiful villa and pool (the water was a lovely temperature, as we paid for it to be heated). Housekeeping half way through the week was really nice. Local places to eat were great and it was very easy getting taxis into town from the cafe at the top of the hill for around €12.

We LOVED everything about this house! The house is beautiful, clean and equipped with everything you need. Eleni and Georgios are very friendly, welcoming and attentive to detail. The house is located in a great location. It's situated in a quiet neighborhood and is walking distance to one of the prettiest beaches on the island and several restaurants and shops. There is also a great grocery store just down the road. And the views! There are views from every room! The hike on the east side of the beach is spectacular with beautiful flowers and plant life and views of the water and distant mountains. Eleni and Georgios, thank you for everything! We hope that we can come back one day.

Atemberaubende Aussicht! Das Haus ist nagelneu, es entspricht genau den abgebildeten Bildern. Der Pool ist sehr groß & tagsüber gibt es einen perfekten Mix aus sonnigen und schattigen Plätzen. In der Nähe gibt es viele kleine Tavernen, man musste nie weit fahren. Ganz klare Empfehlung für diese Villa, sie ist perfekt & wir würden jederzeit liebend gerne wiederkommen!

Wir hatten eine wundervolle Zeit im Haus. Sehr erholsame und ein idealer Ort um fie Umgebung zu erkunden. Bei der Ankunft wurden wir sehr herzlich empfangen und es fehlte uns an nichts. Etwas zu Knabbern und zu Trinken war auch schon vorhanden. Das Meer nur gerade einen Katzensprung entfernt. Zu Fuss einkaufen, Restaurant besuchen und es hat sogar eine Bushaltestelle. Sprich, man könnte auch ohne, Mietwagen reisen. Ideal für Reisende die dem Trubel entkommen möchten. Top Herzlichen dank an Hannah und den Hausbesitzer.

Maria a été très attentionnée et sa maison est sublime. La vue sur la mer est fantastique et cela aussi , depuis la piscine. Les nombreuses photos de l'annonce sont tout à fait fidèles à ce que nous avons trouvé. La piscine chauffée a été un régal pour nous et toute notre famille. La décoration intérieure faisait partie de nos critères de choix, et nous avons eu ce que nous voulions. La maison est très confortable et bien équipée en vaisselles, ustensiles divers et il y a un super barbecue. Merci Maria.

Everything was fine. The house is very big, with a nice modern design and cosy at the same time. The communication with both Giorgios and the owner was fantastic. We felt very comfortable, no neighbours and quiet. The house is about 5-10 minutes from Rethymno. The pool and garden are large and very usable.

We spent 10 nights at Joanna villa as a family of four, including two teenagers and had a great time. The villa was perfect for us, both indoors and out. We spent a lot of time around the pool and cooked on the bbq frequently which met all our needs. The hosts Alexandra and Leftaris are wonderful and it’s very apparent that they love what they do and are very good at it. They were readily available for anything we needed including local recommendations whilst being invisible, affording us privacy. They are generous, friendly and kind making us feel at home straight away. Leftaris is a skipper and provided us with lots of expert and local knowledge when we hired a boat for the afternoon. The nearest beach is within walking distance where we ate out on a couple of evenings with beautiful sunsets. We would highly recommend both the villa and the hosts.

The perfect villas for a big group, we loved both and had the most relaxing time around them. Location is close to all the local beaches and only a 10 minute taxi to Chania. Evi the host was excellent throughout our stay and made sure we had everything we needed at all times.

The villa is a most beautiful place for a relaxed family vacation. Quiet, spacious and with all the amenities for a relaxed stay. The next town is nearby, only a few minutes away by car. The local support is excellent, very friendly, very responsive and alert. All in all, a very recommendable place.

Geweldig gastvrije host komt regelmatig vragen of alles goed gaat en of er nog iets nodig is of beter kan. Wij hebben een geweldige tijd gehad in dit prachtige huis met een fantastisch uitzicht. Zeker een aanrader

3 weken genoten van het huis, zwembad en rustige omgeving. Iedere week werd het beddengoed/handdoeken vernieuwd en schoongemaakt. Razend snelle reactie van het hello crete team. Ook buiten kantoortijden

We had a wonderful stay at this peaceful and private villa with a truly spectacular ocean view. The perfect setup for our extended family (6 adults and 2 small children), offering plenty of space for everyone to relax and enjoy. The bedrooms were comfortable with en suite bathrooms. Kitchen was well equipped with everything we needed to cook at home. The kids especially loved the pool and all the toys available. We enjoyed local meals at Maxis Yard (a charming spot in the nearby village with pottery and homemade food) and Fisalida, which has a stunning ocean view. Both within walking distance. Grocery shopping was easy with both Lidl and the village shops close by. Our host went above and beyond—meeting us for check-in during Easter holiday and even doing grocery shopping for us beforehand as everything was closed. He surprised us with homemade dinner of delicious moussaka and Greek salad, which made us feel so welcomed. We left feeling relaxed and very tempted to return one day.

The owners were great always on hand and responded very quickly - they arranged car hire and food delivery for our arrival. Would highly recommend this property especially if you like it private - it’s a great location to travel around due to close proximity to main roads to explore along the coast or go down to the south of the island. Would recommend you hire a vehicle, there is a Lidl 5 mins away and the main town is just around 10 mins. This would be ideal for family with older children as there is a great pool and plenty of activities ie pool table / table tennis table. The property was extremely clean with plenty of towels and lovely basket with some fruit / wine on arrival - great hosts and property….

We - a family of four - had a great week in this superb villa. The place looks as described and as captured on the photos. The garden is truly amazing and radiates a really relaxing atmosphere. We enjoyed watching the birds flying over the pool and drinking from it. The villa is very well maintained and equipped with everything you need. Peter and Georgia are great hosts. They were always very helpful and very responsive and made sure everything was going well. The pool is especially nice. Even though we had a bit more than 20 degrees Celsius during the day, we were really happy about the fact that it was heated and nicely warm. The whirlpool section is an additional highlight. All in all, super nice place, great hosts and no question that this is a five star place.

Lovely time at the villa over Easter week. Our group of nine thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The pool was amazing. We couldn’t have asked for a better host. She was so responsive and helpful. She even helped us order dinner to be delivered one night at the last minute! Highly recommend this villa!

Wonderful villa in great location for family Holliday. Facilities were great and as described. The garden is beautiful and adds to the feeling of the outside space. Good shade and sun spots in the garden at all times of day. We had a lovely time exploring the local area as well as going further afield to explore Create to the full. Lots of lovely walks possible from the villa and the local beaches perfect for low key family beach safe for kids. The bedrooms were all lovely especially the master beadroom with beautiful balcony. Host was fantastic at communication and helped us with any questions we had responding promptly and efficiently to any difficulties. Would highly recommend.

Villa Arietta is a dream house. Located in the beautiful hills just outside Kissamos, 10 mins by car from the sea. The house is marvelous and has all the comforts you need to enjoy a perfect holiday. We were two couples with one toddler and a baby and both indoor and outdoor spaces were perfect for our needs. Also, thoughtful little touches like a welcome hamper with local products, and numerous amazing toys for the kids to use in the garden. Arietta and her husband have been extremely helpful and accommodating throughout, and communication has always been quick and proactive. We loved our stay and we really hope to come back again. Definitely recommended, one of the best places we’ve been to!

Un grand merci, tout était parfait : le lieu, la vue, le calme, l’hôte, la cuisine, la literie, tout. Sincèrement la première fois qu’une expérience est impeccable du début à la fin avec 0 chose à redire. Merci 🇬🇷

Wir haben die Zeit in der Sea View White Villa sehr genossen. Die Lage ist ein Traum. 15 Minuten vom Flughafen entfernt, direkt am Strand. In der unmittelbaren Umgebung gibt es mehrere gute Restaurants. Die Unterkunft lässt keine Wünsche offen. Der Pool kann auf Wunsch etwas geheizt werden, sodass man auch schon früh in der Saison vollen Badespaß hat. Der Whirlpool lädt zum entspannen ein. Das Haus ist sehr gut ausgestattet mit zwei Schlafzimmern und 2 Bädern ideal für 3-4 Personen. Stravros war sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Es gab kleine Leckereien zur Begrüßung und wir fühlten uns sofort willkommen. Rundum ein toller Urlaub, Danke nochmals!

The house is simply gorgeous. Our family had a wonderful Christmas holiday here. The host was very generous with items in the refrigerator and a well stocked kitchen. Lots of recommendations of places to eat in the area. Michael met us in the driveway upon arrival and showed us everything in the house, that was very kind. Especially loved access to the washer and dryer because we were traveling with kids. It was too cold to use the pool, but if you are here when it is warm, it would be such delight.

We stayed as a family of four for a week. The villa consisted a main floor with a modern, clean and well equipped kitchen, a comfortable sitting/dining room with lovely views over souda bay and towards chania. A large jacuzzi bath was also off the sitting area. The rest of this floor was three bedrooms and two bathrooms, one with a shower/ tub combo and the other a wetroom style. A further bedroom/ shower room was on the floor below via an outside staircase as well as a well equiped gym. The outside area was expansive and enough for our boys to run around. The villa also had a number of indoor and outdoor games for the boys to enjoy. But a lot of our time was spent in the heated pool! Overall, we had a thoroughly enjoyable stay. The villa was very clean, comfortable with stunning hilltop views. The location was close to the airport, local resturants and shops and we had food delivered to us a number of times. A special point was the kindness and helpfulness of our hosts, thank you!

Alex was an amazing host right from booking. He’s super friendly & reply’s quickly to any questions. We had the warmest welcome on check in & the property is beautiful, with gorgeous & peaceful surroundings. You have all the utensils & cutlery you need for cooking, Alex was always on hand if we needed any help with anything. I will 100% be going back & it’s not something I often do so that says a lot about Alex & his property. Highly highly recommend this place.

Trotz anfänglicher technischer Probleme mit dem Haus verdient es definitiv die 5 Sterne. Da das Badezimmer recht klein ist, ist dieses Haus ideal für kleine Familien mit Max 2 Kindern oder einzelne Paare. Wenn man es abgeschieden und sehr ruhig mag, ist man hier genau richtig. Das Grundstück mit großem Pool ist sehr schön angerichtet und gepflegt. Die Eigentümer waren sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Wer also einen ruhigen, entspannten Urlaub verleben möchte den können wir das Haus super empfehlen. Ein Auto ist muss, da Strände und Städte in 15–20 min erreicht werden können. Wir hatten ein schöne Zeit.
