Cottage is a 200-year old Cretan house, located in the remote Gavalochori village of Agios Pavlos, near the historic town of Chania. Its sister property, the Villa Crete 34, is close by and could be combined in one stay for larger groups looking to holiday together. Built at the beginning of the Ottoman conquest in 1724, the Cottage passed from father to son. Centuries of history have added to its distinct charm which has now been lovingly brought back through owner’s careful restoration. It is fully in keeping with the traditional village setting and its many features of local and historical interest. A family-friendly cottage which can accommodate up to five people and consists of two bedrooms, a seating & dining area, kitchen with stove, oven and BBQ, furnished courtyard and bathroom with shower. It's designed for travellers who wish to relax in a serene atmosphere that offers peace and tranquillity and is the ideal base for exploring the Apokoronas area, the historic town of Chania and Rethymno. Perfect for baptisms and weddings, private celebrations, social and work functions, this cozy courtyard is a sanctuary for the soul, where drinks and local delicacies can be enjoyed in fine company and peace alike. The old barn and storage space, complete with Venetian arch and wooden ceiling features, has been converted to make a comfortable living and dining room, maintaining its traditional characteristics and authenticity for authentic enjoyment. The rustic, relaxing interior, so conducive to conversation with friends and family over a homemade or locally prepared meal, will enhance every guest’s stay.
