Tucked away at the end of a quiet country track Villa Armonia is a hidden gem that offers good privacy and spectacular views over the silvery green olive-covered valley below, to the azure sea glittering in the distance. Nestled into the hillside high above the authentically Cretan village of Gavalohori, the solid gates open up to reveal a driveway edged with flower beds and low natural stone walls, leading to a private and peaceful 3000m2 oasis that is perfect for complete relaxation but is still within easy striking distance of the excellent tavernas in the many surrounding villages, and the gently shelving white sand beaches of Almyrida or Kalives. This stylish, modern villa effortlessly combines pretty traditional stonework with thoughtful architectural features such as high ceilings, wide doorways, and well-placed windows that allow the light to flood in and further enhance the spacious interiors. Decorated throughout to a very high standard the contemporary furnishings, some of which have been hand-painted, and the tasteful ornaments have been carefully handpicked by the caring owners to create a very hospitable and relaxing ambiance, all of which are very much in keeping with the Greek name for the villa - "harmony". As you would expect with a superior property such as Villa Armonia all modern comforts have been catered for including WIFI internet access, satellite TV, a DVD player, a fridge/freezer, a microwave oven, a dishwasher, a washing machine, a BBQ, fully tiled bathroom suites with power showers, and air conditioning units in the bedrooms. The a/c units also double up as heaters, and there is a fireplace for the cooler nights early and late season. There is solar-powered hot water with a backup immersion heater, and 2 private parking areas (one of which has natural shade from a mature carob tree). For easy access, the upstairs floor has a separate entrance via the upper level of the garden, with a choice of inside or outside steps down to the pool terrace and parking. Open plan in design the light and airy kitchen and living room have high vaulted ceilings and a wall of windows that look out across the pool terrace to the natural backdrop of sea and countryside. The state-of-the-art kitchen with an excellent range of quality stainless steel appliances that will delight the enthusiastic chefs amongst you. Doors from the living room/kitchen/inside dining area open out onto a shaded outdoor dining area and the larger-than-average infinity pool that can be heated for an extra fee. The comfortable and charming interiors harmonise perfectly with the restful and relaxing exteriors which are likely to be the focal point of your holiday time. Spreading over 3 levels the attractive grounds have been landscaped around the house with natural stone walls and colourful flowerbeds planted with geraniums and young fruit trees, whilst the majority of the large 3000m2 garden has been left completely natural with rocks, olive, carob, and almond trees, and a multitude of colourful wildflowers in the Spring. The main terrace is dominated by the good-sized infinity pool and the shaded dining and lounging area which is perfectly placed for parents to keep a watchful eye on the pool activity whilst unwinding with a good book and a delicious glass of chilled local wine. From its commanding position the villa, pool terrace, and upstairs balcony all enjoy breath-taking 180-degree uninterrupted views that encompass a lush green valley, quaint village, and a sweeping stretch of aquamarine coastline and bay. Early evening, mouth-watering al-fresco meals and barbeques are further complimented by the gold, crimson, and rose hues of magnificent sunsets that reflect on the still waters of the infinity pool. Villa Armonia is a very popular property with repeat guests who return year after year because it is the perfect haven for the uncompromising escapist who is looking for coastal seclusion with total privacy. The villa has been rented out for 12 years now but was recently sold to new owners which is why there are currently no reviews showing. Please Note: For even larger families or groups of friends who like to holiday together whilst still retaining the option of independence and privacy, the sister villa on this hillside, Villa Prinolithos with either 3 or 4 bedrooms, can be rented with Villa Armonia. ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach towels ### Pool/Spa - Heated pool - Outdoor pool - Private pool ### Internet - Available in the villa: Free WiFi ### Parking and transport - Wheelchair-accessible parking and van parking available ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Hob - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Spices - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 3 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 2 bathrooms - Hair dryer - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Fireplace - Living room ### Entertainment - Books - Smart TV with cable/satellite channels ### Outdoor areas - Balcony - Barbecue grill - Garden - Outdoor furniture ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - If you have requests for specific accessibility needs, please contact the property using the information on the reservation confirmation received after booking. - Accessible parking space - Handrails in stairways - No lift - Stair-free path to entrance - Tile flooring in public areas - Well-lit path to entrance - Wheelchair-accessible parking - Wheelchair-accessible path of travel - Wheelchair-accessible van parking - Smoke-free property ### Services and conveniences - Housekeeping (limited availability) - Iron/ironing board - Safe ### Location highlights - In a rural location - In a village - Near a health/beauty spa - Near a hospital - Near the sea ### Things to do - Bicycle parking - Bicycles - Heated pool - Table tennis - Water park - Birdwatching nearby - Fishing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Horseback riding nearby - Kayaking nearby - Motor boating nearby - Mountain biking nearby - Sailing nearby - Scuba diving nearby - Snorkelling nearby - Surfing/bodyboarding nearby - Swimming nearby - Windsurfing nearby - Winery tours nearby ### Safety features - No carbon monoxide detector or gas appliances (host has indicated there are no carbon monoxide detectors or gas appliances on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher ### General - At least 80% lighting from LEDs - At least 80% of food locally-sourced - Bicycle parking - Bicycles - Double-glazed windows - Garden - Humane treatment of captive wild animals - Local culture and ecosystem education - Locally-owned and organised tours and activities - Recycling - Solar energy - Unit size: 1,292 square feet ## Policies ### Check-in Check-in time starts at 4:00 PM Contactless check-in and check-out are available Minimum check-in age - 25 ### Check-out Check-out before 10:30 AM Contactless check-out ### Special check-in instructions You will receive an email from the host with check-in and check-out instructions ### Rules The lead guest must fill in our online booking form. ### Pets Pets not allowed ### Children and extra beds Children are welcome ### Events No events allowed ### Smoking Smoking is not permitted ## Important information ### You need to know This property is managed by a professional host.
