Villa holiday rentals in Kato Gouves

Very nice new villa, with a great pool area. An outdoor kitchen with play area for the children is also available in the lower part of the complex. Good opportunity for activities. Not far to the beach.

Andreas is an amazing host. Responded to all messages within the hour. Amazing private location just a 30 min taxi from Heraklion. Received a full villa tour on arrival with a hamper basket.

Elini's villa is absolutely beautiful, very clean, exactly as described, and easy to get to from the airport! Elini is a fantastic host, she helped us arrange taxis throughout the week to various places and was always quick to respond to messages! I had messaged Elini to let her know our flight had been pushed back and we weren't due to land until past midnight, Elini went out of her way to make sure we had some fresh fruit, bread, juice and water so that we could have breakfast as the supermarkets would have been closed when we got there. Unfortunately we had a Saharan sand storm during our stay however Elini and her family came the following day to remove the orange residue and spent the entire day cleaning to make sure we had somewhere we could relax. I would 100% recommend booking Elini's place if you are looking for somewhere quiet and beautiful to relax!!

We loved staying at Petros's place. The location is picture perfect and completely serene, coupled with the stunning views - perfect getaway gem. The villa is beautifully designed with lots of places to explore and hang out in. Petros is very accommodating and all around helpful from assisting us in setting up the outdoor speakers to offering to make restaurant reservations on our behalf. We had an absolutely amazing time and hope to stay at the villa again when we come back to Crete. Highly recommend!

We had an amazing stay at this villa Everything was absolutely perfect. The place is brand new, super clean, and beautifully designed. The outdoor area is such a gem - the yard is peaceful and the pool is the perfect size, with sunlight all day long. Location-wise, it couldn’t be better. It’s just 15 minutes from the airport (a huge plus!) and there are plenty of attractions and cool spots nearby, all within a short drive. But what really made our stay special was the incredible hospitality. Agron and his son were beyond helpful - they were always available for anything we needed, at any time. Truly above and beyond! They even offer a shuttle service, which came in super handy. Highly recommend this place – we’d absolutely come back!

We stayed here for my bachelorette trip with a group of girls and had the most amazing time! The villa was even more beautiful in person – clean, spacious, and full of charm. The outdoor space was perfect for lounging by the pool- he even tried helping us heat the pool bc we got a chilly day so we still had a great time and soaking in the Greek view. Our host was incredibly responsive and kind, helping us with everything from local tips to arranging transportation and a private boat trip and massages . It truly felt like a dream getaway – peaceful, private, and full of good vibes LUXURIOUS- 5 STAR Highly recommend for anyone who wants a good trip all the way around- group trip, girls’ getaway, or any special occasion! Thank you for making our stay in Crete unforgettable!

We had an absolutely amazing stay! The house was even better than the pictures—spacious, spotless, and beautifully decorated. Our host went above and beyond to make our trip special. They were incredibly attentive, offering fantastic local recommendations and even arranging a taxi service for us, which made everything so easy. To top it all off, they surprised us with homemade traditional Easter cookies, which was such a thoughtful and personal touch. We felt so welcomed and cared for the entire time. Highly, highly recommend staying here—you won’t be disappointed!

Hands down, one of the best Airbnbs we have experienced to date! Located about 15 minutes away from the airport by car, and minutes away from the Mediterranean Sea - Villa Thalia is the place to be! A family of 5, we were warmly greeted by George, who generously offered delicious local fruits and refreshments. Everything you need is available! Beautiful beaches are easy 7-8 minutes away on foot; not a touristy location. Highly recommend renting a car, as you will optimize your experience on the island. We all had a wonderful time!

We were eight women who spent a week at Villa Rodea. Had an amazing time, the view is wonderful and we had an uncomplicated care by the Komos team. We'll be back.

Me and my family had a great week at Villa Aires. The house is very special - set on a mountain side with incredible views up and down the valley. The sunsets each evening were perfectly framed by the landscape and some of the most beautiful we have seen. We hired a vehicle for the duration of the holiday and I would say this is essential for a holiday here - the price you pay for the stunning surroundings is that the house is quite remote, only the local village is walkable (charming but just a couple of restaurants and a small shop on offer). A car also gives you the opportunity to explore this area of Crete which has lots to offer with beaches, history, markets, harbours, beautiful towns. As long as you’re happy with the location, this villa is a no brainer. We would stay again without hesitation!

Great villa and host, very kind and welcoming.

Great place to stay! Gorgeous views, large home with plenty of space.

We had a wonderful holiday. The villa is lovely and was perfect for a big family. Audrey is a great host who was so helpful throughout but especially with the challenges of the late arrival and checkout. Location is great and facilities were also great and exceeded expectations. A special mention for Wayne (the handyman), he took care of the garden, pool etc and is a bit of a legend👏. We would definitely look to book here again.

Giorgos was a great host. Flexible with our demands and very responsive whenever we had any issues. For example, we had a hot water problem, which he resolved quickly after we informed him. The villa is very beautiful with a 360 view of Heraklion and the surrounding area. It has a great living room space for social gatherings, outside tables for dining and a grill. The kitchen was also well equipped with a large fridge+freezer, dish washer, microwave oven and gas hobs. The gym was well equipped and the swimming pool water was very clean. There was a washing machine with a lot of drying space. Several of the rooms have private bathrooms. The villa was not easily reachable by foot but that is the case for most places on Crete. It had however plenty of parking space and remotely operated gates. We didn't try the jacuzzi so can't comment on that and the piano was locked. Overall our stay was amazing, we're very happy and would recommend Giorgos as a host :)

We really enjoyed our stay in Thomais´resort. Thomais did everything to make us feel welcome and welcomed us with homemade cooking and wine. Located on the mountain top the distance to shopping and restaurants is several kilometers, but excellent taxi service solved this so we dropped our plans to rent a car.

We had an all-round successful time in this beautiful accommodation! Perfect for larger groups - we were twelve people and had more than enough space. The room layout is super thoughtful, everything was very clean, and the kitchen equipment leaves nothing to be desired. The pool was a highlight! Communication with the hosts was totally straightforward – they were always available and super helpful. The location is also great: you can quickly get to Malia by taxi, where there are great beach bars and nightlife. Ideal for our bachelor party - we would come back anytime!

The place was simply amazing. Quiet, clean and beautiful. A nice pool and a beautiful big garden made the experience even better. Furthermore, Kostantinos was one of the most hospitable hosts I ‘ve ever had. Always responsive and helpful no matter the time. We would always come back and we recommend the place without any hesitation!

Everything I can say about this stay and about Yiannis is wow. What a great, friendly & helpful host. Despite a few days of bad weather, this stay has all the comforts. Had a great stay with the family. We will definitely come back here. Thank you Yiannis for this great stay in Crete!

We loved our stay. The house was great and had everything you needed. We loved the pool and outdoor seating area. George was extremely helpful and sent us many recommendations and had excellent communication. We would definitely recommend this house to others.

The villa was beautiful, nice and comfortable! The welcome from Niki was wonderful with some groceries already there for us.

We had a wonderful time in NOLA and can only recommend a vacation there! The house was beautiful and an absolute highlight is the view in the morning from the upper bedroom over olive tree fields to the sea. The outdoor area with a beautiful large dining area incl. Grill and the covered loungers by the pool was really fantastic! The beach in Gouves is only about 5 minutes away by car, and there are also a lot of great restaurants and shopping. It is also not far to Heraklion and you can do a lot in the area. Antonis was also very good and easy to reach and we always got quick answers!

We had a great stay at Aurora Villa. The house was very comfortable and the view was beautiful. The host was friendly, responsive, and helpful throughout our stay. We would definitely recommend it.

After a long journey, our three generations were delighted to arrive at Eva's beautiful, spacious, super clean cottage. We had a great welcome and were overwhelmed by how well equipped it was, with everything we needed and more! A delicious meal awaited us, along with many other provisions. So kind and generous of Eva and her parents. We loved the pool and garden. I can't praise our stay enough. We plan to return. Thank you so much Eva!

Absolutely amazing Villa, Dimitris was great really quick to respond whenever we had any issues, he brought us gifts as one of the tv’s was missing a lead this was resolved the next day. Would definitely stay again great big villa plenty of space to spend time large family groups without been in each others space. Only downside was the WiFi, this was really poor. Netflix on an all the tv’s Spotify and YouTube however we could hardly play music in the front room to listen to by the pool as the Internet was so poor. Hopefully this can be resolved because it’s was difficult at times as my wife’s mum & dad are old so go to bed quite early & having a baby YouTube is helpful at times lucky we managed so it wasn’t the end of the world. Thank you Dimitris
