Villa Prinolithos

About

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. 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 which were taken in the Autumn when the light is not as strong and when the villa was already closed for the year, but we are certain the you will find that Villa Prinolithos is the perfect haven for the uncompromising escapist who is looking for coastal seclusion with total privacy.
