Villas Theodora in Gavalochori, Chania

Two 4-bedroom and one 2-bedroom Villas Theodora with three private pools are provided in the picturesque village of Gavalochori in the area of Apokoronas, about 5 km from the sandy beach of Almyrida. The three traditional houses are located 25 km east of Chania in an area of great natural beauty and tranquility.

The middle 2-bedroom villa consists of one maisonette 1-bedroom villa on the two upper floors, and one 1-bedroom apartment on the ground floor (pool level) with a separate entrance.

Each of the other two 4-bedroom villas (west and east) consists of one maisonette 2-bedroom villa on the upper floors, and another 2-bedroom Apartment with separate entrance on the ground floor (pool level).

Each building offers a private pool, which is used exclusively by the guests of each villa. If you book only the upper floors of the 4-bedroom villa as a villa with two bedrooms, then you have two separate bedrooms and the pool level will be closed.

During your holidays, you will enjoy the Cretan hospitality of the owner, who will bring you fresh vegetables from his gardens, next to the villas.

Gavalochori is a picturesque village in a green landscape, an ideal place for relaxing and tranquil holidays. In Gavalochori, at about 1200 meters from the villas, the guests can find a mini-market, a few lovely traditional cafes and taverns and one folklore museum. The seaside villages of Almyrida and Kalyves are in short driving distance with many cafes, restaurants, and a few sea sports.

"Amazing villa for family vacation, especially the baby pool (only available on 4 bedroom villa) is very nice! Two cosy villages with tavernas and supermarkets are a couple of driving minutes or 15 walking minutes away (Gavalochori and Douliana)."

"The location of this place, away from the bustle of the coast meant that we had the most wonderfully peaceful week surrounded by beautiful wildlife (dragonflies, birds, frogs, cicadas). The spilt nature of the villa was perfect for me and my grown up kids who don’t all necessarily want to go to bed at the same time! The pool is perfect for a cooling dip and big enough for ball games and the lovely shaded bbq area was perfect for chilling out over a game of cards."

"Absolutely beautiful location, the Villa is wonderful basic living, but very comfortable with air Conditioning in all rooms, and although it needs a few minor improvements , this did not impact on our stay. The very kind owner was always on hand if we needed anything, which was wonderful, and Emmanuel and Yannis were always available on the evening bone or through messaging."

Absolutely beautiful location, the Villa is wonderful basic living, but very comfortable with air Conditioning in all rooms, and although it needs a few minor improvements , this did not impact on our stay. The very kind owner was always on hand if we needed anything, which was wonderful, and Emmanuel and Yannis were always available on the evening bone or through messaging. So thank you and please pass on our thanks to the owner for a wonderful stay. Regards Simeon and Family

The location of this place, away from the bustle of the coast meant that we had the most wonderfully peaceful week surrounded by beautiful wildlife (dragonflies, birds, frogs, cicadas). The spilt nature of the villa was perfect for me and my grown up kids who don’t all necessarily want to go to bed at the same time! The pool is perfect for a cooling dip and big enough for ball games and the lovely shaded bbq area was perfect for chilling out over a game of cards. The villa has v basic kitchen kit (we based ourselves upstairs in the larger and better equipped kitchen) so stock up on the basics like olive oil at the start of your week. The big Inka supermarket along the coast in Kalyves is the best value. We recommend hiring a car from Kalyves who will meet you at the airport and visiting the beautiful Pandesia Taverna along the road by the supermarket. Be sure to take the drive up to the Askifou Pateau a beautiful place in the mountains with taverna with stunning views and a wonderful museum of artefacts from the war.
