Amazing Villa

This is a beautiful villa, very modern and perfect for a family holiday. The pool isn’t too deep and is the same depth throughout so perfect for children. The views from the villa are stunning and we would recommend staying in this villa. The owner is also lovely and very helpful if you need anything.

Lovely stay and exceptional hosts

We were a party of two families, four adults and four teenage children. The property is around 20 minutes from the coast and cars are a must but this was perfect for us as we prefer to stay in quieter areas. The pool is great and would be ideal for younger children too as it is not too deep and all one level. The villa is modern but traditionally furnished and well equipped. The beds are quite firm which was fine for most of us, but one has a bad back and found the bed too hard. However the hosts went above and beyond and sourced a mattress topper for us. Zacharias and his family are wonderful hosts, very welcoming and happy to help with any questions. On arrival they had prepared a delicious meal for us and a homemade cake . It was very special and we wouldn’t hesitate to return.

Fabulous Break

A beautiful late September week for 2 to recharge and our first post-Covid trip. Great weather and a very comfortable place to relax in. We mainly cooked for ourselves and the villa has most of what you need with supermarkets in Stavromenos 10 minutes back down the road. The wifi is fast enough that you won't notice any issues and Netflix and Amazon Prime are available on the Smart TV (you will need your own subscription though). Swimming pool was refreshing and the local cats very cute! The owner Zacharias was simply the best. An extremely tasty dinner was waiting for us on arrival and he dropped in with a couple of other treats during the week and was always available on the end of the phone to answer any queries. Thank you for all your help! If you need a rapid antigen test for return travel then numerous places are available in Rethymno and the process is simple at approx €25 per person. It felt so good to sit with a glass of Cretan wine and watch the superb sunset from the upper balcony and remember the joys of travelling. Highly recommended location, villa and owner! Just book it!

WONDERFUL PROPERTY :) would return in a heartbeat.

We had a fantastic stay in this wonderful property. Incredible! From start to finish we could not have asked for better hosts or better accommodation. Our flights were delayed and the host waited for us at the property to welcome us. And welcomed us with the most delicious food that his mom had cooked for us! what a start to the holiday!! We were 2 families holidaying together , 3 adults and 5 children age (17,14,6,4,4) and the villa was just ideal for us. 4 perfect bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and dining room/kitchen/lounge, 2 big upstairs terraces (great views of the countryside down to the sea) and ample outdoors space with seating areas dotted around, some in sun and some in shade, to relax in, read a book, enjoy your coffee, etc. Little play area for the children outside to keep them occupied. The pool was clean and enjoyably cool for the hot weather. the location was great, in the countryside so that we had peace and quiet, only the sounds of the sheep passing by, and as we had cars, was easily accessible for us, in face great as we could get to the main road (chania to heraklion) easily for our day trips.went to different beaches every morning and then spent the afternoon at he pool and out for dinner in the evening. could not have asked for nicer accommodation for our holiday. I give a 5 star rating as thats what it deserves and I would recommend this property (and the hosts) to everyone!

100% recommend

We've not used homeaway before so were a little apprehensive but Zacharias was super welcoming. His villa was amazing. Large, but not too large and an amazing pool. It was quiet and relaxing, about 20 mins from. Rythemno (btw - park on by the marina for a 10 min walk to the old town). Everything was perfect, kitchen fully equipped and multiple terraces to enjoy alfresco dining. We have to say that the hospitality was amazing - and we fully recommend coming to stay here!

What makes this property unique

Villa Gaia Modern is built in a peaceful location, at the edge of a traditional village surrounded by olives, oaks and Cretan herbs. The villa is spacious with 4 bedrooms which cover the needs of 8 people. In the outside space, there is a 25sqm pool with sun chairs and umbrellas and a barbecue. The villa has 4 verandas and a spectacular view to the sea, the countryside and the town of Rethymno, but also to the mountain Psiloritis. It is remote and quiet, but also near many villages and the town. As a result, all the needed facilities like restaurants, super markets, gas stations and farmacies are provided very close to the house. The main road from Chania to Heraklion is only 6 kms away, so every city and many sightseeings of the island are easily accessible. The villa is near important sight seeings like the Arcadi Monastery and the ancient city of Eleytherna, and the museum of the Ancient Eleytherna. Villa Gaia Modern is ideal for families and companies who would like to experience the Cretan village life, without being away from the modern life facilities.
