From the owner

Villa Gaia is built at the edge of a traditional village surrounded by olives, oaks and Cretan herbs. The villa was an old stone built storage place, which was renovated keeping it's traditional character.

On the exterior of the villa, there is a beautiful garden as well as the swimming pool which has a size of 25 sq m, with sunchairs and umbrellas around. There is also a stone made barbeque and a nice veranda covered with a wooden pergola with beautiful views to the countryside .

Ideally suitable for 5 people, there are three bedrooms in the Villa, all with view to the sea – one with double bed and terrace, one with semi-double bed and terrace and one with twin beds. A baby cot is also provided to the guests.The house has a spacious dining and living room, traditionally decorated, with a fireplace and a smart satellite TV with a Blueray player and an open plan fully equipped kitchen. There is also one bathroom with W/C, and hydro massage bath. All of the rooms are fully air conditioned. The combination of the air conditioning, the fireplace and the sun heating makes the house suitable for all the seasons of the year.

The location of the villa is ideal as it is built in a quiet rural region, but very close to the beach and the city of Rethymno. It is also very close to some of the most important sightseeings of the region, the Arcadi monastery and the ancient city of Eleytherna. Villa Gaia is ideal for families , couples and individuals who would like to feel the independence and the real Cretan village life.
