Holiday rentals with a fireplace in Kato Gouves

Aris und seine Familie haben uns vor Ort super freundlich begrüßt und uns alles im Haus gezeigt. Es gab zur Begrüßung sogar Wein, Wasser, Raki, Obst und eine Karte von der Umgebung. Das Haus ist perfekt ausgestattet, alles in der Küche, im Bad, Gewürze, genug Handtücher, gutes Internet, sogar heißes Wasser in der Aussendusche. Das Bett im hinteren Schlafzimmer war extrem bequem und alles schön dunkel und kühl. Die Badezimmer sind sauber und wir haben sogar eine Sonnencreme und After Sun gefunden. Nichts was wir vermisst haben. Das Haus liegt in einem abgelegenen Dorf auf der Hochebene von Kreta (ca. 35 min mit dem Auto hoch) - also einen Mietwagen benötigt man auf jeden Fall! Der Gastgeber war zu jeder Zeit erreichbar und hat uns sogar noch eine zweite Flasche Wein und Kirschen bringen lassen. Die Nachbarn sind lieb und es gibt Restaurants, Tankstellen und einen Supermarkt in der Nähe. Absolute Empfehlung, wir würden wieder kommen. Danke für die wundervolle Zeit! Eugen & Pauli

nous avons passé une belle semaine dans le logement de Maria. La terrasse couverte est la plus belle pièce de la maison avec une vue magnifique sur la mer. La plage est à moins de 5 min à pied, par contre attention, pour les personnes qui ont des difficultés à marcher, la pente est plutôt raide à remonter. Maria est très réactive et répond très vite aux messages. agia pelagia reste une petite station balnéaire très bien situé pour visiter le Nord de l'île. Belle découverte

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!

Lovely stone cottage, up a steep narrow road with easy parking. We explored the area by car traveling to both coasts and the plains of Lasithi. The cottage is cosy and well equipped with the bonus of organic veg, bread and oils and eggs honey and jam.

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!

I stayed with my wife and in-laws for three nights. The home was spacious and we enjoyed having the extra room. Thomais left us some treats in the fridge. A great home base. Note the beds are the firm side. The main living area has Air Conditioning but the upstairs bedrooms did not.

Superbe logement : totalement fonctionnel, hyper beau, accès à un excellent restaurant à pied, hôte adorable et super serviable (encore un très grand merci). Pas super simple de trouver le logement mais cela fait aussi parti du charme des voyages. La maman de notre hôte m'a guidé en voiture pour accéder au logement : super gentil de sa part. J'ai vraiment apprécié son geste : trop mignon. En fait, ce n'était pas bien compliqué mais son aide a été très précieuse : mille mercis encore.

The villa is clean, well stocked, and spacious. Simos was incredibly responsive and great to communicate with. The area is lovely, with a few excellent restaurants in walking distance, wineries and olive farms really close, and Knossos Palace also a short drive away. It’s a great place to unwind and the proximity to the Heraklion airport is also a bonus if you’re flying off the island.

Yiannis hat sich super um uns gekümmert, hat uns ein Taxi vom Flughafen und einen Mietwagen organisiert und war auch während unseres Aufenthaltes immer ansprechbar. Die Wohnung ist mit allem nötigen ausgestattet. Vor allem die Terrassen sind toll! Sehr praktisch mit Kindern ist auch dass Sandspielzeug und Bälle vorhanden sind und man fast direkt am Strand ist.

Logement conforme et encore mieux en vrai. Rien à redire tout était parfait et à la hauteur. Beaucoup de petits restaurants ce qui est un plus après une longue journée. Yannis est un hôte réactif et pleins de petites attentions :) Vous pouvez y aller les yeux fermés !

A lovely apartment right on the beachfront. Amazing sunsets from the terrace. Great beds and linens overall a lovely stay in a quiet part of Crete. Thankyou Yiannis and Véronique.

Logement très bien situé et très propre, à proximité d’excellents restaurants et services, avec une vue incroyable. L’hote est disponible et efficace. Arrivée facile. Merci Nikolaos!

This place is lovely and Kostas is so helpful! Would definitely recommend and will be coming back

Der Wohnung fehlt es an nichts! Dimitra ist so herzlich u. kümmert sich sofort. Die Möbel u. Deko sind hochwertig u. wunderschön! Man spürt, dass Dimitra das Wohl des Gastes sehr am Herzen liegt. Man fühlt sich wie zuhause. Die Küche ist sehr groß u. komplett eingerichtet, es fehlt an nichts! Basics wie Salz, Pfeffer, Essig, Öl sind vorhanden. Der Wohnbereich lädt zum Entspannen ein. Klimaanlage in WZ + SZ. vorhanden. Das Bett ist groß u. sehr komfortabel, sehr bequem. Wir hatten sehr erholsame Nächte. Platz, um seine Kleidung aufzuräumen ist da. Es sind 2 Balkone vorhanden u. ein Ausblick toppt den anderen. 1x mit Blick auf die Olivenhaine u. die Berge, 1x zum Meer hin inkl. Sonnenuntergang, einfach traumhaft. Alles war super sauber. Alles ist mit viel Liebe zum Detail eingerichtet. Das Appartment liegt in einer ruhigen Gegend, dennoch ist alles fußläufig erreichbar. Wir danken Dimitra für ihre Gastfreundschaft und ihre Herzlichkeit. Wir kommen auf jeden Fall wieder.

We had an excellent stay! The apartment is very stylish, yet very cozy. We had plenty of room for our family of 5. The kitchen had great supplies. Eirini and her family went above and beyond helping us with every possible need, even arranging for our son to see a doctor! The hospitality of the Greek people amazes me. Thank you so much, Eirini and family!

Pristine apartment and well provided for in terms of kitchen etc. Great showers and really comfy beds..... excellent apartment and Stella who checked us in was lovely. Aikaterini was very helpful in contacting us in advance of arriving too..... great place!!

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.

Stayed with a group of friends for a week and had a great time. Faidra was quick to respond and proactive throughout our stay, providing all sorts of helpful recommendations. The villa was spacious with a great pool and barbecue ready to roll. It’s located in a quiet area so you’ll need a car, although within walking distance you can get to a few local shops, a lovely taverna, an olive oil mill (would recommend a tasting) and, if you want to give the driver a day off, a winery about half an hour hike away. All told, was a great base for exploring this part of Crete and fantastic value.

Nous avons passé un excellent séjour ! Tout s'est très bien passé. Le logement était conforme à nos attentes : confortable, bien équipé. Un grand merci à Angelina et Céline pour leur disponibilité et leur gentillesse, aussi bien avant notre arrivée que pendant le séjour. Le seul petit bémol, que nous connaissions à l'avance, est l'emplacement un peu isolé qui nécessite d'être véhiculé. Heureusement un service de navette est proposé, ce qui est un vrai plus. Une adresse que nous gardons précieusement et que nous recommandons !

Everything around this beautiful villa was perfectly arranged and we felt super safe as 7 girls! Manolis (the host of the villa) arranged transportation for us from and to the airport and all the service from Anna Maria Villages was also good. In the villa itself everything looked nice and clean. We had a very nice stay :)

We had a wonderful 5-day vacation at the villa. The property was stunning! It was tastefully designed, offering full privacy, and was super clean. We used the brick oven to make pizza and also enjoyed the pool. Everything was just as it looked in the pictures, and the villa was equipped with everything we needed. Pandelis, the owner, was very responsive to all of our requests and questions. I highly recommend this place!

We loved our stay at this comfortable, immaculate property with a gorgeous view of the ocean. Dimitris was extremely responsive and helpful, Popi who met us at checkin was friendly and welcoming, and Maria who came by to clean was sweet. The apartment is located in a great area as it is a small seaside community but still has a grocery store, restaurants, and pharmacy within walking distance. We rented a car and drove all over. I really enjoyed the time we spent outside on the patio listening to the waves crashing.

We just loved everything about this airbnb!!!!! The house was AMAZING, incredible views, incredible features, we went to the pool, did barbecue, breakast with ocean view, everything and more we expected! Konstations is THE BEST host we ever got!! Not only he was hiper reactive, attentious ( he made sure to got us on the airport so we arrive well, his mom cooked us food because they would imagine we would arrive late and hungry), incredibly generous and nice!! We have many tips and support during the full trip ! Everything and more that we expected! Thank you again

The stay was good, private and secluded. All listed amenities were present. Pool and BBQ were crucial to us, also worth to mention: there is an A/C unit in each room. Wifi was perfectly stable. You can hear the road noises, but it is manageable, it didn't affect our experience.
