In the settlement of Gallou, which has been classified as traditional since 1995, there are supermarkets, athletics facilities, the National Stadium of Rethymno, municipal tennis courts, taverns with traditional Cretan cuisine, cafes and newly built residences for students, since the University of Crete is located 200 meters away.
The visitor to the village can see to the west, the monastery of St. Paul of 1566, the church of Panagia Gallou with the icon of the Enthroned Christ, the 18th century church of St. George, as well as the 19th century churches of St. Luke, St. Anthony and the church of St. Charalambos. For nature lovers, the Galliano Gorge is a very nice hiking route along a verdant ravine, while the oak forest of Kastello, part of which passes through the settlement of Gallo, is also of particular natural beauty.
Rethymno town is just a short 5 km drive away, where you can explore a wide array of tourist amenities, attractions, vibrant nightlife, excellent shopping opportunities, and a magnificent Blue Flag-awarded fully organized sandy beach.

Wonderful

Lovely place, a little hard to find with google maps on first try, very narrow lanes so it doesn’t look right at first, but when you realise that lol the roads in the village are quite narrow, it’s ok.
Pool a little too cold though, the sea was much warmer, we hardly used the pool.
The villa was very tranquil, plenty of space. Loved the chickens clucking around under the decking. The air con in all rooms, worked perfectly. The pool was lovely. It’s not big , but you can see that from the pictures, but perfect for playing games.
Great location, but you do need a car to go to the restaurants in the old town and to Lidl.
Thank you for a wonderful stay.

Relaxing stay
The villa is a good size and peacefully located. The roof top terrace provided lovely views, especially during sunset.
Pool is on the smaller side.
It was cleaned thoroughly every few days, and the cleaners were pleasant.
A car is required for this property as it is out of the way. Parking was sometimes difficult due to neighbour parking on the turn/bend into the property.
This house is a great place to stay for a relaxing break, yet close enough to enjoy the nightlife. The property is well maintained inside and out. Poolside and rooftop lovely to sit in the sun. He owner was very helpful when called on and resolved the problem very swiftly. I would suggest a car is required if you want to visit Rethymnon - we did walk down and used a taxi back. Thank you for a most pleasant holiday.

Near the center but mouldy
-Close to the town of Rethymno
-Very nice rooftop
-Smell of mould especially at the bottom floor
-The mattresses are very hard
Belle villa en pierres très bien placé, un peu au dessus de Rethymnon mais au calme et à 35mn des belles plages du sud.Ménage et draps tous les 4 jours,la piscine idéale pour se délasser après la plage , très bon contact avec l'agence qui gère la villa, nous sommes ravis de notre séjour ,,merciepepensons
Maison identique à la description. Très bon emplacement , et propriétaire très gentil.
Le petit plus , le ménage fait tous les 4jours , c est top en vacance , et le roof top est génial .

Wunderbares Haus
Ein sehr netter Empfang mit Kirschen und Wasser im Kühlschrank, Chips und Erdnüssen im Wohnzimmer. Das Haus ist großartig! Traumhafte, erfreulich luftige Dachterrasse mit Panoramablick bis zum Meer; netter Pool mit Luftmatratze und -reifen; insgesamt so durchdacht gebaut, dass wir innen kaum die Klimaanlage anschalten mussten (trotz August-Hitze). Küchenausstattung ordentlich. Alle 5 Tage neue Bettwäsche und Handtücher. Insgesamt sind wir begeistert.
On arrival owner met us gave us the keys and left didn’t show us round or tell us where anything was.They new toilet was leaking but never mentioned it so we had to complain about give him is due two days later
Good side was a Wellcome pack the villa is big cosy and the problems we had didn’t spoil are stay
Would I stay again yes
