Summary: We have stayed in many villas but this one was by far the best. The pool was amazing, the views were breathtaking and the accommodation just perfect for our much needed family holiday. The local village is just a short stroll away and we soon settled into village life. Our week ended with an amazing event of traditional Cretan music which we were privileged to attend with all the villagers. Just perfect

Summary: This is a lovely unusual house very close to the centre of the village of Gavalochori. The outside terrace area is a delightful space to relax in and the large pool is wonderfully refreshing and clean. Inside the house there is a small but functional kitchen/dining area. The beds are very comfortable and there is a balcony off the upstairs double bedroom. The only suggestion I would make would be regarding the showers in both bathrooms - it would be nicer if they were more powerful! Apart from that it is a great house to relax in and is well located, being a few minutes walk from the tavernas and shops in Gavalochori.

Summary: First the positive things - this is a charming villa, conveniently situated at the edge of one of the prettiest villages in the area, within walking distance of all the tavernas, and with shops and a bakery nearby. The outside area is (with one exception) delightful and the pool is really excellent. The bedrooms are very good, and the beds among the most comfortable we've experienced in Crete, where mattresses tend to be hard. The seats and lighting in the living area were also good. Where the property is less satisfactory, at least for us, was in the bathrooms and kitchen. Although the bathrooms were efficient - the showers were good - they were rather down-at-heel, and the lack of plugs in either basin was not good. The kitchen was small and cramped - we didn't do any cooking, but even preparing breakfast and snacks was problematic, and the breakfast bar effect was very odd, as was the wooden latch holding the fridge shut. The biggest failure for me was that the sun-umbrella (the only one) was broken and couldn't be used, which meant that for much of the late morning and early afternoon I couldn't stay by the pool and had either to sit under the verandah or go indoors. I would really like to give Spiti Athini more than three stars because it's got a lot going for it, but there were just a few too many things which didn't quite measure up to expectations. I will say, however, that none of these are seriously difficult to put right, and I very much hope that they can be. A word of warning generally - the stairs are very steep - the property isn't suitable for people with even a mild mobility problem. Finally, I would like to thank Sabine and Dirk, who were friendly and helpful owners (thanks for permission to stay on later on the last day - it made a huge difference - and to the housekeepers, who looked after us well.

Summary: - the house was neat and tidy, very welcoming (lights were lit on our arrival). The owners really have put in the work in improving the house and providing a quality stay. - non-touristic village, in a relaxing environment, though not too far from the bigger cities in case you're interested. - incredible view on the surrounding mountains! - colorful plants on the terrace outside, a lemon tree in the garden, grapes growing above your head, providing cool shade - all the necessary shops are nearby: bakery + small supermarket + cozy, romantic and tasty restaurants @300m, small supermarket @ 10min drive. Chania Airport not too far. - internet has been provided for! No worries. - the property is surrounded with a 2m wall and a big, wooden gate (hooray!) - the pool water gets cleaned automatically + a guy came every other day cleaning the surface with a leaf skimmer. Plus, there are lights installed for an evening swim! - superb beaches nearby, 15min drive We had a very nice stay here and were able to roam freely through Crete, recommended! Perfect morning routine: wake-up, jump in the pool, breakfast in the sun, with fruits and fresh bread from nearby. Superb!

Summary: my wife and I decided to go to Crete to join the local Easter celebrations and tradition is definitely what we got! we were enchanted by the traditional and tasteful style in which the house has been refurbished, the cosiness of the different rooms,... very well located in the heart of a small village Gavalochori, at 100 meters of a local grocery store, 150 meters of a restaurant with an original and creative kitchen (other restaurants in the neighbourhood as well) and at a 10 minutes drive from the seaside (Almyrida) still a little bit too cold for me to have a swim (my wife was more courageous) - in a 15m pool (meaning long enough to really have a swim and not just paddle your feet) great view on the White Mountains, nice environment to go jogging if you don't mind running in the hills or perfect to go tracking in the hills needless to mention that Crete is a really cheap place to go out to have dinner, have a drink or whatever we already know where to go to, next time we want to relax and just sit back to enjoy life great value for your money

Summary: The house is charming, but not well maintained. It is in need of a deep clean; dust balls in all the corners and under the beds, the bed linnens were stained, the towels smelly, the fridge leaked, cockroaches, you get the picture. There was no internet, despite the advert stating that there was. On our second night the roof in the downstairs bedroom started to leak...straight into the bed. Needless to say, we didn't stay and were relocated to simple functional, clean villa with help from Spiti Athena's owners. Gavalohori is a great village though, well worth a visit.
