I do not often write reviews on the places I stay because quite frankly, they rarely exceed my expectations.
If you are looking for a getaway where time WILL STAND STILL, you have to stay at the Gaia Villa in Falassarna. From the moment we arrived, (don’t get discouraged by the last few kms drive….) we were enchanted. Nancy was waiting for us at the front door and explained everything thoroughly. There was food (and wine….:) waiting for us. She was a fantastic host and made sure we felt welcome. She even brought us pastries one day!
This Villa is just amazing. Its architecture and decor blend in superbly with the environment. The layout provides ample room for a group of 6 to gather and yet at the same time has areas where you can have quiet times alone. It is fully furnished with anything you require to spend a week relaxing.
The sunsets are SPECTACULAR as you lounge in front of the infinity pool. Very close to gorgeous beaches.
We made a fantastic salad from the tomatoes watermelons growing in the garden!!!!!
I highly recommend this Villa if you are planning a stay in western Crete.
