Villa Armonia, sea view, big heated pool, good privacy, 8 mins by car to beach. | Villa in Gavalohori
3 Bedroom Villa in Gavalochori, Gavalohori
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.
