Chris & Katrina Mangous
Villa Rodi is a beautiful architecturally designed Mediterranean style villa offering relaxing alfresco dining with ocean and mountain views, balconies and a sheltered rear courtyard. With 3 bedrooms and 127 square metres of floor space, this home creates the perfect environment to enjoy the natural beauty of its hillside location within walking distance of the traditional village of Gavalochori with its interesting and well-preserved folk architecture. The villa is well suited for both families and adults alike looking for a private, relaxing holiday. To ensure you stay connected there is free WIFI/broadband installed. The villa is securely walled with its own private parking space and a mature garden containing several trees.
We are retired teachers from New Zealand. Chris has Greek ancestry and our house in Crete is where we spend some of the New Zealand winter months.
Behind the villa is a woodland area with several footpaths and forest tracks to stroll and enjoy. Gavalochori village is within a few minutes walk and has tavernas, general stores, and a bakery that makes the best bread in the world every morning! The seaside resort of Almyrida is a few minutes away by car or approximately a 35 minute walk. The beaches of Almyrida are awarded a Blue Flag every year, showing that the sea is clean and that the beach provides the necessary safety features and customer service facilities. It is a beautiful, large sandy bay with clear, shallow waters making it very safe for young children. There are many tavernas in Almyrida with some larger supermarkets, wineries, general stores, jewellers, beach wear shops and bakers.
