Villa Iris

Villa Iris is a spacious holiday villa with private pool, located in the hills near the charming village of Gavalochori in Crete. With panoramic views of the sea and the surrounding countryside, the villa offers an ideal setting for a relaxing and unforgettable holiday with family or friends.

The villa consists of two independent units (not connected internally), which are only a few meters apart, and is rented as a single unit for up to 16 guests. With 8 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms, Villa Iris is perfect for large groups seeking both privacy and togetherness.

Set in a large private garden, the villa offers guests a wide range of outdoor amenities, including a private swimming pool, children's play area, shaded terraces, and various seating areas with breathtaking sea views. The resort of Almerida is just 4km away, while the traditional village of Gavalochori with shops and a taverna is just 1km from the property.

Accommodation: 16 people, 8 bedrooms, 6 bathrooms

Villa Iris has been carefully laid out to offer both space and privacy, divided between two separate, but adjacent buildings. This makes it the perfect choice for large families or groups of friends traveling together. With a total of 8 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms, the villa can comfortably accommodate up to 16 guests, while everyone has their own place to relax.

The first villa has two independent apartments. One apartment features a cozy living room with fireplace and a fully equipped kitchen, as well as two bedrooms and two bathrooms. The second apartment offers its own living space and kitchen, along with two additional bedrooms and a bathroom, making it ideal for families travelling together while still valuing some privacy.

The second villa has the same convenient layout, with a spacious dining area, perfect for group meals, a large kitchen and comfortable bedrooms divided into two separate apartments. Whether you're gathering for a shared breakfast on the terrace or relaxing in your own quiet corner, Villa Iris offers the perfect balance of connection and independence.

Each bedroom is air-conditioned for added comfort, and all living areas are bright, welcoming, and fully furnished with modern amenities. From every part of the villa, you will enjoy picturesque views over the surrounding countryside and the sparkling Cretan Sea.

I am in love with Greece: the sun, the food, the culture and especially the hospitable people. It is with great pleasure that we share our Greek villa with guests who, like us, enjoy peace, nature and real Greek life. We hope you feel as at home here as we do every time!
