Your private hillside retreat
A villa designed around the view
Villa Koumos sits above the traditional village of Gavalochori, looking across olive-green countryside towards the White Mountains and the Cretan Sea. From the moment the light reaches the terraces until the final colour leaves the sky, the landscape is part of the experience.
Inside, generous shared spaces make it easy to spend time together. Three comfortable bedrooms offer privacy when you want it, while the terraces, garden, courtyard and pool provide a choice of sunny and shaded places throughout the day.
A relaxed villa for families, friends and couples.
