Villa Location

Gavalohori is a traditional village and has great historical importance in this area. There are buildings still remaining from Byzantine, Venetian and Turkish eras, and artifacts have also been found in the area from Neolithic and Minoan Times. Many of these artefacts are now housed in the Historical and Folklore Museum which is located on one of the village’s narrow streets. On the outskirts of the village there is a lovely picnic area beneath a thicket of shady trees next to some Venetian Wells. The village square is still very much the focal point of village life. The main kafenion/taverna is a beautifully renovated stone building which is run by Monica Papatheofilo. The food and desserts here are delicious and the prices are sensible. Sitting under the kafenion’s shady mulberry trees and watching the world go by, is a favourite past time for both locals and visitors alike. On the opposite side of the square there is a gift shop with a wide range of local products. In the village you can also find 2 cafes, 2 mini markets, and a bakery.

Villa Rosaria is just 4 minutes by car to the lovely village of Almyrida which is built around a crescent shaped sandy beach. The beach is very shallow and safe, which is good news if you have children or are not a strong swimmer. Lining the beach are many excellent tavernas, cafes and shops. We at Villas Crete Holidays will give you local information, and details of boat trips, private boat rentals, horse riding, private sight seeing flights in a light aircraft, a private evening of astronomy and mythology at your villa, guided walking and coach tours. Also in Almyrida is a nail spa, a scuba diving centre, pedalo rentals, paddle board rentals, and a water sports centre which rents out kayaks, windsurfers and catamarans. For those of you looking for even more activity, the historic town of Chania is only 45 minutes away by car.

Villa Rental Prices

All prices shown are per Villa, per Week, in Euros. The prices for up to 4 persons are for the Villa only and not the Guest Rooms. The prices for 5 - 8 persons are for the Villa and the Guest Rooms. The July and August Prices are for both the Villa and the Guest Rooms. These prices include a Free Welcome Pack, bed linen and towels, cleaning, a villa information book, and a villa copy of the essential guide book, Crete on the Road, by Frankie Miles, 

*** 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.

We will collect the Climate Levy with your final balance payment and it will be clearly itemised on your Booking Confirmation.

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.
