Charming Stone House in a Cretan Village – Olive Grove Views & Stargazing

Gavalochori is one of the most picturesque settlements in the heart of Apokoronas.
The village has always been a traditional working village with a long history you can discover in the local museum. Only few hundred meters from the house you will find many shops including taverns, cafes, a bakery, grocery stores and a handicrafts shop.
Opuntia stone house has stood here since the 1800s.

It has two floors, fully equipped kitchen, spacious garden and breathtaking views for your morning coffee.

As you arrive, soft lights will welcome you into the garden. Inside the first floor reveals a fully equipped kitchen where morning sunlight is filtering in. You’ll find everything you need, from a spacious fridge to cooking essentials, making it feel like home from the very first moment.

In the living room an old piano is adding character and soul. Two single beds and a large dining table create a space for both rest and shared moments. Up the wooden stairs there is a bedroom with a canopy bed, soft pillows, and a cozy sofa. Step out onto the balcony to see olive groves, wild cacti, and the beauty of nature stretching before you.

Evenings are something special here. In the backyard, far from city lights, the sky opens up for stargazing—best enjoyed with a glass of wine in hand. The spacious garden, filled with flowers, offers a large table, extra seating, and a stone-built sofa perfect for long shared meal.

Just a five-minute walk brings you to a local supermarket, a glimpse into the village’s history, and a traditional coffee spot. A short drive leads you to more dining experiences, while within ten minutes you can reach the sea—where crystal waters, watersports, tavernas, and small shops complete the perfect holiday feeling.
