Pet-friendly holiday rentals in Gournes Gouvon

we had a great week at Maria's place. The covered terrace is the most beautiful room in the house with a magnificent view of the sea. The beach is less than 5 minutes' walk away, but beware, for people who have difficulty walking, the slope is rather steep to climb. Maria is very responsive and responds very quickly to messages. Agia Pelagia remains a small seaside resort very well located to visit the north of the island. Beautiful discovery

Very very Beautiful Apartment and a Yard just for yourself to use and hang out. Perfekt for Couples or Families. There is also a small village with a little shop for some quick shopping. But in 30min you are in Heraklion and at beautiful beaches. Also Georgia is very kind and looks after you! Would def recommend and come back :)

We can highly recommend this accommodation. It's tucked away in a very secluded spot, which makes it wonderfully peaceful. At the same time, you can reach restaurants and a mini market in just a few minutes. A car is essential! The garden is stunning. The biodiversity is incredible. There's always something new to discover. The house is quite small and simply furnished, but that was absolutely fine. Everything was clean, and that's what matters most. The long driveway leading to the house can be a bit intimidating—it just slopes down without any railing or guard. But that’s just part of the Cretan charm. Giannis was always very friendly and helpful—thank you for everything! We also got to know the neighboring family and even visited them. Such kind people. And the animals! Aphroditi the horse, a peacock, chickens, and turkeys—our daughter loved them. Overall a great experience. We were very happy and would definitely recommend it. Who knows—maybe we’ll be back in a few years!

Having stayed in the area before, a quiet location was the most important aspect for me along with easy access to the beaches and a short walk into Hersonnisos. I couldn't have wished for a better location. The apartment was quiet with little traffic noise, compact and clean. The nearest beach was just a few minutes walk away with cafes and restaurants next to the beach. Hersonnisos itself was about 15 mins easy walk. The garden was a perfect spot for some sunbathing on those lazy days when you didn't want to leave comforts of home. It was an ideal suntrap. I didn't need anything from George on my 10 days, staying at Blue Coast Gardens -Juniper. but he was within easy reach with a whole host of helpful numbers and contacts made available, should have needed to contact him. It was great having a large comfortable double bed with good quality bedding and Aircon if it got too hot at night. All the equipment provided was in great working order, the apartment spotlessly clean. Loved it!!

We stayed as a family of six, four adults and two children (8 and 5). The set up was really comfortable and worked perfectly for us. The outdoor pool area is great and our two kids loved it - especially as there were lots of inflatables left to play with. We arrived at 3am. Xristos offered to meet us, but when we suggested with young children we'd prefer just to get in and get to bed, then meet up after it was no problem at all. We had instructions to call when we arrived, and the gate was opened for us. We were blown away by how well supplied the house was. Xristos was in touch in the week before to check if we needed anything in particular and couldn't have been more helpful in making sure we had everything we needed to start our holiday. Then we had a delivery of local fruit and wild artichokes as they were in season. Amazing. There was a dust storm before we arrived. Xristos promptly sorted this too. A great and relaxed place to stay, with an unbelievably good host. Thanks!

The Rustic Nook was such a lovely, unique place to stay. It felt like you were tucked away in a quaint cottage in the shire. Beyond the physical attractiveness of the home, Amanda was always just a text away. I felt that if an emergency were to arise, she would’ve been there in a moment’s notice. When it came to the Rustic Nook, she thought of everything and had a note or explanation available. We loved our stay and if we ever get the chance to come back to Crete, we hope to be able to stay at the Rustic Nook again!

Beautiful and quiet place with stunning views.

This quaint AirBnB was not only comfortable but also a stone’s throw away from the beach. We felt right at home and enjoyed every moment - would totally recommend! (Side note: Crete is a gorgeous but absolutely HUGE island, if you want to get around easily and visit other beaches you should definitely hire a car) 🇬🇷

We had an amazing 1 week stay at this beautiful place. Also the host was so sweet in helping us. She made sure we found the house during night time and got some food for us for breakfast. Also the place was very clean and the kitchen has everything you need. This place is just magical with the beautiful sunrise every morning. Also the inside of the house and spots outside the house give a very cozy feeling. We would also definitly recommend to hire the chef-kok for a night. It was one of the highlights of our stay because of the amazing food and their kindness to us. Would love to come here again!

Blue Key Villa is outstanding. Situated high above the coastline it has spectacular views from almost anywhere in the Villa. Manos and his team are excellent and are able to provide recommendations and services for use in Villa. We used their recommended chef, Spyros, one evening, and it was brilliant. Communication is clear, and responses received promptly. Blue Key is an exceptional property.

We highly recommend this location. Beautiful accommodation with stunning surroundings. All the staff were delightful and nothing was too much trouble. The home cooked food was nothing short of fantastic. Particularly wonderful was the samples of traditional food (not on the menu) offering a real insight into local homemade dishes. The estate includes fruit trees, vegetables, walnut trees and much more. Guests are welcome to eat the fruit. A short walk takes you up into the pine forest, with shaded paths, local gardens and animals on route. Don’t pass up the opportunity to stay here!

My wife and I were thinking of seeing the world until we came to Crete. It was so spectacular we only want to go back there now! Fantastic culture, so friendly easy to get around so, so much to do an exotic paradise. The villa was stunning and the views are breathtaking whether you want peace and quiet villa day or a short walk to the beach this villa is perfect for both. Massive Thankyou to George and Claire for being so welcoming and so helpful!

This was our 4th stay at Giannis' place and as always it was perfect. The property is exactly as pictured and described, so comfortable, with amazing outdoor space and everything you need (great WiFi, smart TV, great shower, plenty of towels and bed linen, etc). The outdoor space is the major selling point, with lots of different relaxing areas, plenty of shade, and a fabulous pool. And stunning views to boot! Agios Myron is a lovely little town: if you go please make sure to visit the local bar, restaurant, bakery and shop, all run by lovely people. Looking forward to returning again next year!

Konstantinos is an outstanding host. He picked us up from the airport and personally escorted us to the villa. He was extremely responsive, quickly answering our questions and offering helpful recommendations for many services around, like massages at the villa (Creta Spa). Communication was seamless throughout. The villa is ideal for a group of 8 – spacious, clean, and well-equipped. The BBQ setup is also a great feature.

Antonias Appartment is beautyful, very Close to restaurants and bars. The terrasse is just the most perfekt place to chill and relax. We loved every minute and hat a great time.

We had a fantastic two nights stay at Vivi's who is a ever so positive and proactive host together with her lovely husband. She so much took care of our needs and "fed us like her children" :) The apartment is quietly situated and is a gem to all lovers of cats and dogs.

beautiful very spacious apartment and beautiful view of the sea and the island opposite. The accommodation is well equipped and the owner thought of making the stay as pleasant as possible. there was nothing missing (toilet paper, cotton swabs, olive oil, sugar, coffee, rusks, jam and so on...). only downside: there is no washing machine but a dishwasher, I think it is a bad translation! in case of problems, the owner is very responsive and very quick. we loved our stay and for sure we will be back with great pleasure.

Great location, lots of bars, restaurants and clubs, as well as the beach within walking distance. Very nice contact. Everything super !

Everything was great. The house is really very close to a beach and it has everything what we needed for a comfortable stay. Highly recommended!

Athina and her family are great hosts, very warm and helpful. They do it with heart, you can tell. There's no better way to do it! They are also available anytime if you have any questions, just great! The place is as shown in the pictures. We were there with our little son and dog, both were very warmly received. For children, there are bottle gear, children's chairs and paddling pool. We also received some great guest gifts, which is also nice. (Fruit, olive oil, wine and homemade little things) Parking can always be found, either on the property or on the street. Many great restaurants and a great sandy beach can be reached by car in a short time. The neighbors are also very nice. We highly recommend it for families!

Fantastic stay at this wonderful village house in beautiful peaceful Milatos, we cannot recommend this accommodation highly enough, exactly as pictured and described , host was amazing as was the delicious meal she left for our first night! Great amenities within house too. Great location to drive through mountains to elounda and agios Nikoliaos , we went straight south to beaches there too. All the restaurants on the front were amazing bar with no name fab through to Socrates so friendly and cheap €45 for two with wine . Old neighbour we sat and had a beer with although dialect was limited. Thank you again we will be back and telling everyone to come 🥰

Everything was perfect. Beautiful location, very clean house with privacy and tranquility. I highly recommend it!

We very much enjoyed staying in Manos' house. The facilities there are very good, including a lovely garden, plenty of cutlery and crockery and the house was clean with comfortable beds. Nearby in Gournes there is a set of very good small shops including a supermarket, a butcher and a baker where you can buy local produce. The house is close to the airport so quick to get to on arrival. There are good roads nearby so it is possible to explore the area with ease . We recommend visiting Knossos, and the Lathisi plateau.

Our host was great, she was very helpful and kind. Her primary goal was that we can relax and enjoy the holiday there. The apartment was very clean and well equipped. Exactly as it was shown in the pictures. The sea is really in font of the house, also there is a sandy beach around 100 meters from the there. All the bedrooms are airconditioned, the living room and the dining area has a big fan. All windows have shades and mosquito nets. We really enjoyed our stay there.
