Villa Giorgos is set in a very secluded spot in the middle of a pine tree forest. The villa is situated on the outskirts of Gavalochori and close to the coastal resort of Almyrida. In both villages you can find good taverns, super markets and a bakery. Especially the pastries of the bakery in Almyrida are worth a detour! Villa Giorgos is situated on a hill at the end of short dirt track. The villa has several verandas with a splendid view of the forest that surrounds it and there are distant views of the sea in front of Almyrida (Souda Bay). It's very, very quiet. Behind the villa is the private pool with the sunbeds and the parasols, chairs and tables, a swing and a barbecue. The pool is surrounded by a low wall and pine trees and is not overlooked, so we skinny dipped. There is a simular villa next to villa Giorgos (unfinished in 2010 - no windows). In the future this villa will remain un-occupied unless you choose to rent it for additional guests, thus ensuring your privacy.

The downstairs space of the villa is one large living / diner and there is a downstairs toilet. One part of the villa has the couch and the comfortable chairs, the other part next to the very nice kitchen has the dining table and chairs. There is satellite TV and a DVD and CD player. The kitchen is very complete and has a large fridge, a dish washer, a cooker, coffee machine, toaster and everything else you could wish for. There are doors leading to a veranda with a table and chairs in case you want to eat outside. The rooms in the house all have airconditioning.

Upstairs you will find the three bedrooms, the bathroom (with shower, toilet and washing machine), a veranda with beautiful views and a balcony. The first bedroom is a double and next to this is a single bedroom. They both have doors to the veranda. The last bedroom is a twin bedroom with a private balcony. On the couch downstairs in the living room it's possible to make a bed for a sixth person.

Advantages:
Musquito nets and shutters in front of all the windwows and doors.
Pergolas and barbecue with dining table at the pool, plus places where you can sit in the shade of the trees.
On arrival we found wine and vegetables in the fridge (there is a garden in front of the house), the traditional Cretan drink raki was in the freezer, there was a fruitbowl and the house was decorated with beautiful flowers.
You can drink the water in Villa Giorgos.
It's very quiet and secluded so you can just lock yourself up with a book an relax.
The large verandas with fabulous views.
The book "Crete on the Road" written by Frankie Miles is in the villa: a fantastic and original guide to explore the neighbourhood and with suggestions for interesting sights on other parts of the island.
