About this property
Tastefully renovated Cretan traditional house with large private pool
Spiti Athinà is is a wonderful holiday house with a large swimming pool (6x10m) in an authentic village, only a few miles from the coast. This traditional Cretan village house has been tastefully renovated into a cosy vacation villa for 6 persons. The 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms (1 down and 1 up) all have an individual character. During the restoration works, many of the original authentic elements were kept. In the living room the original natural stones are still visible. There is a wonderful shaded terrace, which adjoins the house towards the swimming pool. Under the shady vines is a magnificent stone table and bench, where you could spend many happy hours: for a chat, for a drink, with a view of the pool and garden with olive and citrus trees and enjoying the splendid mountain views. Here you can also enjoy a siesta on the sunbeds in the shadow, or spend delicious long evenings in the open air when the pool is lighted. The Mediterranean climate and the crickets does the rest.

About the host
Hosted by Sabine
We are a Belgian couple with 2 kids and 3 small grandkids. We own the house now for 25 years and renovating it was a real adventure! We love hosting and each year we carry out renovations and improvements to ensure you a pleasant stay. We wish you a wonderful time in our holiday home! Enjoy!
Why they chose this property
Gavalohori is a lovely village with a typical atmosphere. It is situated about 3 miles from the sea, and the authentic Cretan atmosphere has remained. It is situated northwest Crete, between the 2 charming cities Chania and Rethymnon. Gavalohori has some nice kafeneions and tavernas, a bakery, 2 mini markets which makes your stay very pleasant and comfortable. There is also a small folklore museum. We guess you will feel at home ànd enjoy holidays at the same time!
What makes this property unique
Our restored house is a real authentic village house, renovated with modern comfort. It is situated in the traditional village where you can enjoy being surround by Cretan people and where you can experience the real Cretan life. Sometimes neighbors offer us olive oil, some eggs, oranges, grapes they cultivated themselves and they feel so proud about it! The Greek hospitality is amazing!
What is also unique is our large pool which is 6 x 10 m and we are sure you will enjoy it very much! The terrace with the stone table and bench under the vines is also amazing. Here you will certainly spend good moments, with the view on the pool and garden, the hills with the olive trees and the White Mountains behind (the mountain tops stay usually white until the beginning of May).
