Perfect Villa for a larger group

Stayed here 10 years ago and always knew we’d come back. This villa has everything. Six en-suite bedrooms. A huge pool. Amazing views and you can walk to great tavernas and shops. It’s immaculate and very well equipped. Lots of different areas to sit, eat, lounge. You can have privacy if you want it or great communal living. Highly recommended. The keys are a bit tricky to get the hang of. Maybe be label or number them better? But that is a very small thing. That villa is perfect. Many thanks to Diana, Yiannis and your girls x

Our two families spent very relaxing nine days at Villa Metapothia in the lovely village of Gavalohori. The Villa was everything it promised to be - we wanted for nothing. The Villa was very tidy and Eleni the housekeeper left wonderfully baked goodies after each clean. The pool and garden area is big enough for 12 people with multiple areas for seating all together. The kitchen had every utensil imaginable, which made cooking so easy and enjoyable! We had two medium sized cars which enabled us to drive up the very narrow access road. Anything bigger and we would’ve had to park further down. The village of Gavalohori is a hidden gem! Away from the touristy coast - it offers two mini markets which are well stocked (although a bit expensive) and the one behind the Kafeoni “ Gavalohori "O Bakalogatos ”sells local produce and ice creams. The “ Elpida- Traditional Cafeneon- Gavalohori” is a Café style eatery, right in the town centre and is popular with locals as well as visitors to the family. The owner speaks English well and they catered for gluten intolerance. The taverna Arismari was a real find! Set behind in the town square by a big tree with a small well - it was my favourite place! Also in the small market square is a pottery place, selling artwork (pottery, paintings, prints, jewellery etc.) from various artists from the area. To sum up - we would definitely recommend the Villa Metapothia and are already thinking of returning sometime soon.

Villa, Lage und Ort hervorragend

Die Villa liegt in einem sehr schönen Dörfchen. Hier ist man ganz nah am kretischen authentischen Leben dran. Die Tavernen sind super, man muss nicht weit fahren. Die Villa bietet wirklich alles, was man braucht, selbst wenn man mit mehreren Generationen unterwegs ist. Wer sich ein Auto mieten möchte, sollte vielleicht auf die kleineren Modell zurückgreifen, da der Weg zu Villa sehr eng wird. Wir haben es trotzdem mit einem VW Caddy geschafft.

We love it

The five children spent hours in the pool while we looked on from the comfort of the shade on the balcony. The wide view from the mountains to the sea is incredible. This was a return visit for a special family occasion, I can't think of anywhere that would have been better.
