REVIEW SCORE

Prinolithos Villa Crete stands proudly on the highest point of its privately-owned grounds. The stone and gravel decorated driveway lead the length of the way from the property’s green gate to the villa’s front door passing a small cedar tree forest, well-kept gardens with rose bushes, herbs, flowers, vineyards, and lush lemon and pomegranate trees.


show more details

Prinolithos Villa Crete, which can accommodate up to 10 people, is made up of an open-plan kitchen and living area, 3 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, a large outdoor furnished balcony, an independent poolside guesthouse (sleeps four and has its own small kitchen and bathroom), built-in barbeque and an infinity swimming pool. A 200-year-old millstone, used in the past to grind wheat and other grains, decorates the villa's main entrance door and sets the tone of what lies just beyond. The traditional, village-style open plan kitchen and living room with fireplace instantly make you feel at home. Large wooden doors lead out to a very spacious furnished balcony with views of the swimming pool, olive trees, and the beach of Almyrida.

On this same level, one will find two bedrooms and one bathroom with a bathtub and a washing machine. The one-bedroom has a double bed and balcony doors that lead out to the large balcony overlooking the pool, the other has two single beds (which can be joined) and balcony doors leading out to the villas entrance patio. The third bedroom (maisonette-style) is upstairs. Within this room, wooden stairs lead up to two single beds on the pandas level; traditionally decorated with wooden floors, high wooden ceilings, a chest, quaint windows, a computer area, and another bathroom (with shower). For here too there is a balcony from which to enjoy the views.

At poolside level, Prinolithos Villa Crete also features a guesthouse; ideal for those who wish to holiday with you while still maintaining privacy away from the main house or even for you to make use of this extra kitchen, living, and rest area- an extra convenience by way of its proximity to the swimming pool. This poolside guesthouse has an independent entrance, an open-plan kitchenette, and a living area with two sofas (which can be made up as two single beds), a slightly separated sleeping area with two single beds, and a bathroom with a shower.

Use of the guesthouse is always a given (regardless of the number of persons staying at the villa). The uniquely shaped infinity swimming pool, decorated with mosaic and stones collected painstakingly by the owners themselves and surrounded by almond and oak trees, measures 50sqm with depths from 1.1m to 1.9m. The areas around the pool include the furnished terrace, outdoor shower, pergola, sun loungers, and umbrellas. An interesting characteristic of Prinolithos Villa Chania is the grape press located on the villa’s grounds. This is a large permanent stone structure where the grapes are placed after harvest and the owners stand on the grapes to begin the process of making village wine and grape essence. There are also a couple of mountain bicycles available so that you may ride along the mountain pathways.

About the Location

Greece, Crete, Chania

Gavalochori Chania is a traditional settlement, of Apokoronas area 26 km southeast of Chania. To a great extent, Gavalochori has maintained its traditional character being almost untouched by tourism.  Its architecture comprises some beautiful stone-built houses, white paved streets, and lovely churches. Most of the inhabitants deal with agriculture and produce olive oil, figs, almonds and honey. In Gavalochori one will witness the long tradition of kopaneli, a technique of lace needling that dates from the Byzantine times. Also, there are two 16th century great churches, Virgin Mary and Agios Sergios and an interesting folklore museum including folk costumes, old coins, weaponry, old furniture and other. In close distance are found the popular tourist resorts of  Almyrida, Georgioupoli and Kalyves with crystalline waters and great beach infrastructure.

Situated in the most western part of Crete island, Chania is considered among the most picturesque cities of the island due to its beautiful architecture. It is a crossroad of many civilizations that have left their trails on the island. Chania has truly amazing places to visit, from secret villages and fabulous beaches to interesting historical sights. The most impressive beaches are Balos, Elafonissi and Falassarna, while there are innumerable other amazing beaches around its coastline, from organized resorts to totally secluded coves.

Crete is the largest island in Greece and the fifth largest in the Mediterranean Sea. Here you can admire the remnants of brilliant civilizations, explore glorious beaches, impressive mountainscapes, fertile valleys and steep gorges, and become part of the island’s rich gastronomic culture. One of the most popular destinations of the country, Crete is the dream of a lifetime for millions of tourists.

Being among the top 20 tourist destinations worldwide, Greece is synonymous with 3 things: history and ancient civilization, amazing landscapes and top touristic destinations. Greece is so wealthy in culture and beauty that it never seems to be completely explored. Holidays in Greece is the ultimate experience all year round. It offers a great pallet of experiences; the warm sun, the crystal clear beaches, the dramatic nature, the rich culture and the renowned hospitality along with the unique culinary experience of the Mediterranean diet.

The property was amazing!

The property was amazing, having the additional poolside studio was excellent for the two 17 year olds with us as gave them a feeling of independence. The view from the balcony is one of the nicest views I've ever seen!

Beautiful villa in quaint village

A perfect place to spend time with a larger group. The nearby village of Vamos is lovely and offers great tavernas and mini markets for your daily grocery needs. The view from the house is absolutely breathtaking, the pool is wonderful and has the perfect size. We loved how spacious the villa is, our four teenagers slept in the pool house and the adults in the main villa. Kitchen is well equipped to prepare meals. We would definitely recommend staying here! Thank you to the wonderful owners who brought us delicious homemade sweets!
