Completely perfect.
Perfection in every single way.
The Villa itself is so beautiful and full of history, which the hosts can happily and passionately inform you of. peaceful and surrounded by nature. Gavalochori is a lovely, quiet village and the authentic, local restaurants are within a 10 minute walk from the villa - you don't need to look anywhere else for delicious Greek food.
Even if the Villa had been terrible, the welcome and service we received from Vasilis and Antwnia would have made it amazing. Every morning, we were greeted with beautiful smiles and the most natural, friendly conversation. We truly feel like we have made friends for life. Being Vegan, I was more than happy with tomatoes and bread for breakfast, but they went out of their way to cater for me and ensure we had absolutely EVERYTHING we needed. Both are so polite, kind and helpful. They recommended local places for us to visit that we probably wouldn't have found without their help, as well as the most authentic restaurants whilst we were there.
We genuinely cannot thank them enough for making our stay in Crete so special - Villa Athermigo is stunning, but it is truly elevated by this couple. Thank you so much for everything, we cannot wait to come back.

The magical 10 day stay in the most beautiful villa
During our stay we were blown away by the fabulous location and the beautifully appointed villa very private but near to everything, beach a wide variety of local restaurants and sight seeing.
Sitting and BBQ ing by the pool made the occasional staying in evening really memorable
We had the 3 units prior to a family wedding but each one would work very well independently.
Also the interior very characterful shared space would be great in the autumn or early spring
Very child friendly they even had toys with excellent cots and high chairs
Nothing was too much trouble for the lovely team who visited daily and looked after us during our stay.
We will come again

Perfect
We were lucky enough to have our wedding here in August. It was the most perfect venue and everything we were looking for. Right from the beginning when the venue was booked nothing was too much for Kelly and Dimitri, the managers, to assist with. The pool and garden area is beautiful and the villa itself was fantastic. I would definitely recommend a stay here and hope to book again in the future. Wish we could have stayed longer.

Our new holiday home
We were lucky enough to get married in the beautiful grounds of the Villa and stay for 5 nights. It's located in a very cute village outside of Chania where you can find peace and quiet but you're still only 30 minutes from busy Chania town. Once you close the door behind you at the villa, you hear only birds nothing else. It is so peaceful. We rented the villa exclusively and every room is just beautiful. Completely authentic and true to its origin you can see original features implemented into the design which creates a raw luxury. The team is fabulous too of course! Kelly is a true star and nothing was too much, she looked after us and our friends with genuine care and her colleague Vasilis made us lovely breakfast. A true joy....we didn't want to leave and will be back.

The most beautiful place!
We booked Athermigo Villa as our wedding venue and were lucky enough to stay for a few nights too. The villa is simply stunning, the garden is beautiful, the pool is incredible and the service is outstanding.
The villa is managed by Kelly, who is wonderful. Kelly is the kind of person that you won't forget - she is helpful, friendly will go out of her way to make you feel happy and comfortable.
The villa has been restored without any imperfections and the standard of finish in the rooms is the best we've ever seen. We can't recommend this villa enough. We will most definitely be back!!
Thank you, Kelly!!

Wonderful experience-beautiful accommodations for an amazing experience with family and friends!
We were looking for a restorative experience and found it on Crete at the Villa Athermigo. From the beautiful accommodations that easily handled our party of family and friends to the remarkable staff. Beginning with Kelly we felt welcomed and well informed on beach and excursion options.
For relaxation we simply hung out at the Villa-by the pool or took walks to the nearby Taverna's. From on-premise spa treatments to amazing food choices prepared by our excellent Chef Petros and his Sous Chef Vasili.
When we wanted to "see Crete" we relied on Kelly to help plan half day and day trips, got excellent restaurant recommendations, with frequent conversations about what made for a great beach.
We left feeling like we "knew" Crete just a little bit (first time for most of us) but more importantly we left restored and with new friends we hope to see again soon!
