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’ve absolutely loved our stay here and will come back for sure. A great place for kids

Very cozy and spacious place , in a very quiet place , but at the same time everything is available , we would like to come back, the host is very responsive , responds quickly and is always ready to help , special thanks for the hospitality at check-in

Private villa with beautiful views of the Mediterranean. Local host, Efi, was very responsive and flexible. Fun amenities like the swimming pool, outside terrace seating and ping pong table. 20 minutes drive to Heraklion for excellent restaurants, the lovely Archeological Museum and historic sites like the Palace of Knossos. Would recommend to friends.

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!

My family had the best time at Alexanderos place. I am a remote worker and so was the perfect quiet environment to work while watching my daughter have a great time in the pool. the house is spotlessly clean, as is the pool and Alexanderos really cares that you are having a good experience. You can tell this buisness means a lot to him. A little ginger and white cat came to visit us every day for 10 min. My daughter is cat crazy and so that little guy made her holiday. If you see him give him a snack 🥰 You need a car to stay here really, but that is part of the beauty of the villa. You're remote, quiet and private. Exactly what we wanted. However if you want to go out, youre 10-15 min drive from some great beach restaurants. I suppose, if you're happy to stay in and relax, you could manage not having a car but we like to get out and about. Overall an absolute excellent place and im so glad we chose Alexanderos' place over other options!

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

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!

We had an extremely nice stay at the villa. The pool and views are simply breathtaking. The rooms are very spacious and there is plenty of space to relax. Everything was very clean and we didn't miss anything. Thank you for everything Stavros. We will be back!

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.

Absolutely loved Nikos villa! It was just perfect, spotless clean and well maintained. The pool are, loungers and garden were all well maintained and felt new. The villas location is great, 20 minutes drive from the airport and only a 2 minute walk to the supermarket, bars, restaurants and beach. I couldn’t recommend this place more, will definitely return! Thank you for having us!

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 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!

Had a fantastic stay at the apartment, great host and very responsive. Apartment was as described and more, the pictures do not do it justice. Really lovely touches to make you feel at home straight away, including groceries and local produce waiting for us on arrival. Loved the stay and would come back!

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.
