Very private and spacious 4 Bedroom Villa with infinity pool and sea views. | House in Chania
4 Bedroom House in Apokoronas, Chania
Tucked away behind the lush foliage of its own small forest of Prinos trees, Villa Prinolithos is a hidden gem which offers total privacy and spectacular views over the silvery green olive covered valley below, to the azure sea sparkling in the distance. Nestled into the hillside high above the quaint village of Gavalohori, the solid gates open up to reveal a flag stone driveway leading to a private and peaceful 3000m2 oasis that is perfect for complete relaxation but is still within easy striking distance of the excellent tavernas in the many surrounding villages, and the gently shelving white sand beaches or Almyrida or Kalives.
A rustic atmosphere prevails in this welcoming and authentically 160m2 Cretan country home. Spread out over 3 levels with a generously proportioned sitting room and a separate annex apartment, there is no shortage of space in which to relax. With 4 air-conditioned bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, as well as a choice of outside terraces and lounging areas, Villa Prinolithos lends itself perfectly to groups or larger families who like to holiday together whilst still having the option of independence and privacy. Smaller parties and couples have not been neglected, however, as reduced rates are available in low and mid season without the use of the annexe apartment which would remain locked.
Traditional features such as cypress wood beamed ceilings, warm wood floors, doors and window frames, exposed stone window frames, stone archways, and cool tiled floors harmonise perfectly with contemporary comforts which include: such as free WIFI internet access, a Smart TV, a DVD player, a fridge/freezer, a microwave oven, a dishwasher, a washing machine, a BBQ, fully tiled modern bathroom suites, and air conditioning units in the bedrooms, and annexe apartment. The A.C. units also double up as heaters, and there is a fireplace for the cooler nights early and late season. There is solar powered hot water with a back-up immersion heater, and a private parking area.
The interiors of Villa Prinolithos are absolutely charming, but the outside is just as appealing and will undoubtedly be the main focus of your holiday time. Patio doors open out from the living room, kitchen, and double bedroom onto a shaded dining area which is perfectly suited for congenial family meals whilst watching the glorious crimson and gold sunsets. Alternative seating and dining areas, furnished with a comfortable lounge suite, tables, and chairs, are situated next to the pool terrace from where the gorgeous panorama can be fully appreciated. With a double cabana bed, 8 further sunbeds, and 3 sun umbrellas the pool terrace itself is equally well equipped and perfect for relaxing beside the large infinity pool which was re-tiled in the winter of 2025/26 and has steps that make it easy to enter. Appetites already heightened by long days swimming and sunbathing, will be further stimulated by the delicious aroma of fresh local produce sizzling away on the barbeque. Both the views and food are perhaps best enjoyed with a cool glass of wine from the excellent winery in nearby Vrysses (though the Prinolithos grounds do also boast their own traditional grape press and vines).
Thoughtfully laid out to stay in keeping with the lie of the land, the majority of the spacious garden area has been left completely natural with rocks and an abundance of Prinos (a Greek relative of the Oak Tree) olive, and wild almond trees which provide shady hideaways for chilling out with a good book or a lazy afternoon nap. Around the villa and tiled terraces, there are low natural stone walls, paths laid with flagstone, and a multitude of flowerbeds planted with typically Mediterranean flowers and shrubs including, oleander, roses, juniper, hibiscus, geraniums and lavender, and the warm star-filled summer nights are perfumed by jasmine, wild thyme, rosemary and oregano. The impressively situated infinity pool sits dramatically on a terrace below which the hillside tumbles down to the quaint village of Gavalohori, ensuring that the privacy and faultless views remain unspoilt. The tranquillity at Villa Prinolithos is only interrupted by the breeze rustling in the trees and the chatter of the cicadas in the hot summer months.
It is difficult to convey the full beauty of this property in the accompanying photos but we are certain that you will find that Villa Prinolithos is the perfect haven for the uncompromising escapist who is looking for coastal seclusion with total privacy.
Please Note: For even larger groups we also rent out Villa Armonia on the next door plot, which has 3 bedrooms and can be seen on this website. The privacy of Villa Prinolithos is not affected in any way by the second villa, but the proximity to neighbours dictates a respectful awareness of noise level when enjoying the pool and terraces.
