Perfect Retreat

The villa was exactly what we needed. Plenty of space for a big group, a decent kitchen when we wanted to cook at home, and the pools were clean and well-maintained. The town of Gavalochori was also incredibly charming. The tavern in town had fantastic food and the shops nearby were great for other local food, souvenirs, etc. Would definitely return!

Excellent stay at Ariadne.Communication with Christos and Mrs Fosco was extremely quick and Villa was excellently furnished inside and out.Short 7-10 mins walk down into the lovely village - seems quite steep but over 60's managed it fine! Tried all 3 tavernas, all good. Local shop catered for essentials.We will return..!

Beautiful Villa with wonderful views

A wonderful and spacious Villa set in the hills overlooking the beautiful White Mountains. Highly recommended. Finished to a high standard and generously equipped. Gavalochori is close by but steal yourself for a steep climb back up to the hill to the Villa. Almyrida is a short taxi ride away which we visited often - great value restaurants set along the beach front in a relatively quiet and friendly resort.

Just Great!

We had a wonderful time in Villa Ariadni. The caretaker Froso is a gem and also gave us great recommendations on where to find great restaurants and places to visit. The Villa is a wonderful accommodation for a relaxed vacation and with its 2 pools, and many amenities and great view of the Cretan mountains a wonderful place to unwind. We hopefully will be back soon! Angelica, Lilli and Dennis

Super Villa zum entspannen

Die Villa hält was sie verspricht. Sehr viel Platz und super Pools. Alles vorhanden was man benötigt. Kleine super Restaurants im Dorf und ein kleiner Supermarkt. Wir haben nichts vermisst. Vermieter und Betreuerin sind super und helfen sofort. Wir kommen bestimmt nochmals wieder.

Fantastic place !!!

It was such a great location and we felt completely taken care of during our stay. The house was so spacious that 7 of us could stay there without using up all the space. Would always come back

Tolle Villa mit Blick in die Berge

Wir haben im Juli 2021 eine Woche in der Villa Ariadne verbracht. Die Kommunikation mit Christos hat reibungslos funktioniert, alle Fragen wurden sehr schnell beantwortet. Der Empfang durch die Verwalterin war herzlich und wir wurden auch während unseres Aufenthaltes sehr gut von ihr betreut. Die Villa ist genauso schön wie auf den Fotos. Wir hatten genug Platz für 7 Erwachsene und haben insbesondere die Terrasse und die Pools genutzt. Alle Zimmer sind gut eingerichtet und die Klimaanlage funktioniert einwandfrei. Im Dorf Gavalochori gibt es zwei gute Tavernen. Wir haben dort mehrmals gegessen und würden beide Lokale weiterempfehlen. In der Dorfbäckerei gibt es täglich frische Brote, Teilchen und herzhaftes Gebäck. Wir hatten einen wunderschönen Urlaub dort und würden die Villa jederzeit wieder buchen.
