Villa vacation rentals in Gournes Gouvon

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.

One of the best stays in airbnb over the years. Perfect place for staying with kids, lots of toys and everything. Our 3 year old son was really enjoyed. Giannis and Mara were really helpful about everything. They booked us transfer from airport for late night arrival and booked us a rental car for the next morning which we picked up at the door of the villa! This was one of the easiest and convenient option. I left my sunglasses at the rental car, they found it and will send me by shipping. Best hosts and best place to stay! Hope to meet you again.

We had a wonderful stay! The place was very nice and stocked with everything you might need. The location is great – quiet and private, yet restaurants, shopping and the beach are within walking distance. Communication with Pantelis was smooth and very pleasant. He welcomed us warmly, gave us great tips and even provided a few drinks and fresh fruit. At our request to leave the pool light on longer, they responded directly. The only small downside: There were quite a few insects, even isolated dead insects in the apartment, which is not uncommon in this area. With sprays from the supermarket, however, the problem could be well controlled. So you could easily overlook it. Overall, we can absolutely recommend the accommodation – we would come back anytime!

Amazing experience! First, the location is very good: 10 min away from Watercity, 25 min away from Amazonia’s Park, 15 min away from Heraklion Second: the house is fully equipped, you got everything you need: kitchen tools, hairdryer, iron, ironing board, dishwasher, washing machine, along with clean towels, beach towels, shampoo, soap, shower gel (just to understand the real hospitality, we stayed in a 4 stars hotel and got the same shower gel), not to say the yard, where you can find sunbeds, shower, a water hose, a big table, umbrella, and so on Third: the house is very well set up: you got external blinds for every window/door in the house, including kitchen and living room, so you don’t get disturbed by the light, and also the temperature doesn’t increase during the day. The house has a very efficient ventilation system also. And the blinds are electric, you don’t even bother to pull them up or down One day we’ve got into trouble, and Sissi immediately helped us Totally recommend

We had some difficulty finding the place initially. Do not rely on the link on Airbnb. It will take you miles away. Google Four Seasons Private Villa and follow the link there

Our family spent a wonderful 14 days in Manolis’ house at the end of October. We fully recommend this place if you’re traveling with kids! Our twins spent nearly all their time outdoors, feeding the friendly cats, collecting stones, and playing in the treehouse – they were absolutely delighted. The house is spacious enough to comfortably accommodate a large family (we were 5 adults and 2 kids) and is beautifully furnished with a stylish and cozy feel. The outdoor area is perfect for children to explore and play safely, and the quiet surroundings made for a relaxing retreat. Manolis and his family were excellent hosts, providing everything we needed to feel at home and ensuring our stay was perfect. If you’re looking for a family-friendly destination with plenty of charm and warmth, this is the ideal spot. We would love to come back!

Our stay at this villa was great for our large group, including two toddlers. Host Nikos welcomed us with a stocked fridge and pantry (milk, water, juice, cereal, bread, pastries), setting the tone for an amazing stay. Nikos was always available through offering exceptional communication, and ready to recommend anything we needed. Convenience is key here, with two bakeries a short 5-minute walk away and a small mini market just 4 minutes on foot. For sightseeing, we used "Private Grouse Drive Sense". Our driver, Panagiotis, provided us with a true white-glove experience – from the luxurious van he drove to his proactive communication, punctuality, and thoughtful recommendations. It truly made our trips comfortable and utterly unforgettable. Panagiotis even helped us with transportation options in Santorini and Athens, making our entire trip exceptionally smooth. Overall, our stay was incredible, and the private driver service elevated our experience. Highly recommended!

We had a great time in this lovely villa. The outside is truly beautiful and we loved spending the day at the pool. Inside is also very nice especially with the brand new kitchen. We would love to come back!

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!

We had a very nice stay, the house was so lovely, with everything provided even a cleaning service. Restaurants and beach clubs can be reach by foot (approximately 10 min walk). There is a very nice traditional village near the house with excellent restaurants (approximately 15 min walk). But most of all thank you very much Stefani for everything you were so nice and helpful, really many thanks everything was perfect thanks to you 🙏🏼 ☺️

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 at this beautiful place! 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 in particular was a highlight! The communication with the hosts was totally straightforward – they were always available and super helpful. The location is also great: by taxi you can quickly get to Malia, where there are great beach bars and nightlife. Ideal for our bachelor party – we'd come back anytime!

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

We had an amazing stay here. The hosts were very friendly and responsive to any questions we had and able to provide recommendations for restaurants and reliable taxi driver. The villa was spotless, well stocked and the aircon worked very well. We also appreciated the midweek cleaning service provided. Thank you so much for an incredible stay, we hope to come back again!

The house was great great. The family found it super comfortable and the pool was wonderful!

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 had a truly wonderful stay at Fanis’ house. Located in the peaceful Cretan countryside, the home offered the perfect blend of comfort and nature. The swimming pool was a highlight – clean, refreshing, and surrounded by beautiful views. Fanis was a fantastic host: warm, welcoming, and always ready to help with anything we needed. His hospitality made us feel right at home from the moment we arrived.If you’re looking for a quiet, relaxing retreat with a personal touch, this place is an ideal choice. I would gladly return!

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 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.

We really enjoyed the Villa. Lots of space inside and out. Kitchen was well equipped and we used the outdoor grill a lot. Garden is lovely and pool was great (a bit cold at first but we got used to it!). Beds were comfortable, lots of hot water. Could use a stand up shower in master bath (was a bath tub and hand held shower) but we just used the other shower. The area is close to restaurants and the beaches - it is a busy street to get to town but nothing too bad. Two supermarkets a 5 minute walk, which was perfect! Really enjoyable stay, would recommend.
