Pet-friendly holiday rentals in Kato Gouves

We enjoyed a fantastic four days in Aris’ place, the views of the plateau and mountains are just beautiful! We felt right at home, and it was lovely to have Aris and his wife physically there at check in, a rarity these days! The images really don’t do this place justice, it is up some winding roads but we were prepared for that having visited the plateau in 2012. We can’t recommend staying here more, we really wish we’d have booked a longer stay! Aris had a fantastic hire car recommendation too, which was also great, and we had some amazing recommendations from them too. Thank you very much Aris!

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

From the very start Georgia was an excellent host; making sure we were greeted on arrival and providing us with extensive advice on activities and food for the local Heraklion area. The place itself was so charming and has obviously had lots of thought and time gone into it. We really enjoyed our stay and would recommend this place to everyone.

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!!

My stay was so beautiful! I was travelling alone but at no point felt uneasy or unsafe. I felt very much at home. The place is immaculate and exactly how it looks in the photos. The views are breathtaking and it is a complete peaceful haven! Giorgos also arranged car rental for me, he made it super easy and the company he booked through were great ! I could not recommend this place enough, from the property down to the communication with Giorgos, everything was perfect!

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 a great stay at Katerina & Dimitra's apartment fantastic location for exploring this wonderful place everything we needed and more would not hesitate visiting again

We had a lovely 2 week stay at the villa. The view and facilities were outstanding. The hosts were super friendly and very helpful. I would recommend the villa to all families and groups. We were supplied with everything we needed including cots and child safety gates. Thank you for making our stay so relaxing and checking whether we needed anything.

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.

Nice villa with a beautiful view. Is exactly as advertised, maybe even better. We had a great time. Hills around the villa are really steep, but not too bad.

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!

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

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.

This was literally the best airbnb I have ever stayed in, with the best host to match. Katerina is an elite host and so, so lovely to work with. She treats you like old friends! She went above and beyond. And the house....I don't have enough space to tell you how great it is. 10/10 cannot recommend enough and I hope we get to see her again some day.

Diana and her brother were very responsive, very clean house with many possibilities on foot: shops, beaches, restaurants. We recommend this property.

Amazing value for money! We truly enjoyed our stay – the place was peaceful, with a lovely breeze and a fun, relaxing pool. Communication with Teo was excellent. he was responsive, helpful, and usually got back to us within less than an hour. Great vibes all around – we highly recommend this place! we will definitely come again

It's beautiful there! We liked the apartment with the beautiful terrace very much, everything is only a few minutes from the beach and you quickly feel at home! Nearby are nice tavernas, a bakery and co, the town of Guoves is easily accessible by bus (you then walk about 5-7 minutes to the accommodation and there is a bus every half hour (more with delay than on time, but it always came). The hosts are very nice and helpful and you felt right at home, even the neighbors were nice and helpful!! :) (For people who have a very light sleep: Guoves is under the flight path, which means that some planes take off and land, not directly, but within earshot and also the hotels nearby were a bit louder on some nights - but not later than 12 o'clock at night). It's still super nice there! We will be happy to come back!

Great stay for my family who came over for our wedding. Good location, close to the beach with some nice restaurants nearby.

Our best holidays. We were happy to spend tge time at this peaceful place.

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 🥰

We loved our stay at Villa Eva. Maria is a very lovely and attentive host. The place is super peaceful, surrounded by beautiful greenery from the garden. The house had everything that we needed for a week-long stay and we felt very much at home. There is an AC in the bedroom, but the house cools itself so well that we didn’t even need it. There’s a store 20m to the right and an absolutely fantastic restaurant 20m to the left so, extremely convenient location. The beaches are also a 20-30 min drive if you’re into it. All in all, we absolutely loved our stay and definitely come and visit again once we have a chance.

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.

A charming cottage with lots of outdoor space. Completely private enclosed garden with an outdoor shower. Lovely beach only 15 minutes walk away and plenty of parking if you choose to drive there. Excellent selection of Tavernas in easy walking distance (15 minutes). Highly recommended if you like a rural retreat.
