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!

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

השהות בבית של ג'ורג'יה היא הרבה מעבר למקום לישון בו. הבית יפיפה, מעוצב באהבה וכבוד למסורת המקומית והמשפחתית , כל פרט ורהיט נמצאים שם באהבה. מהריהוט המשופץ, ספרי האמנות, המטבח המקורי, ועד המיטות והמזרונים המפנקים. החצר הפנימית מאד נעימה ומטופחת. ג'ורג'יה מארחת נדיבה באנושיות הלבבית שלה, סיפקה לנו המלצות לסביבה, עזרה לנו בנדיבות רבה עם צ'ק אין מוקדם והיתה זמינה לכל שאלה או התיעצות. בית ואשה פשוט מעוררים השראה

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!

Matthaios è stato veramente molto gentile ed attento. Sempre a disposizione e, se impossibilitato per qualsiasi evenienza, la madre o la moglie si sono mostrate sempre presenti. La casa è accogliente, tranquilla e vicinissima al mare (50 metri) e accessoriata con tutti i comfort. Facile da raggiungere dall'aereoporto di Heraklion e comoda per raggiungere le belle spiagge vicine. Consigliatissimo.

Wij logeerde 10 dagen in dit heerlijke huisje. Een prachtig terras, fijn bed, gezellig huis waar alles was wat we nodig hadden. We waren er in de winter dus helaas niet veel op het terras kunnen zitten. Dorpje is schattig en klein met allemaal vriendelijke mensen en heerlijke authentieke tavernes. Thank you ♥️

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.

Sehr schöne neue Villa, mit einem tollen Poolbereich. Eine Outdoorküche mit Spielbereich für die Kinder ist auch vorhanden im unteren Teil der Anlage. Gute Möglichkeit für Unternehmungen. Nicht weit zum Strand.

Superbe villa avec piscine privée et vue incroyable, dans un secteur très calme et magnifique proche d’Heraklion. George est très réactif et très flexible. Je reviendrais.

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 et son frère ont été très réactifs, maison très propre avec de nombreuses possibilités à pied : commerces, plages, restaurants. Nous recommandons cette location.

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

Es ist wunderschön dort! Das Apartment mit der schönen Terrasse hat uns sehr gut gefallen, alles ist nur ein paar Minuten vom Strand entfernt und man fühlt sich schnell zuhause! In der Nähe sind nette Tavernas, eine Bäckerei und co, der Ort Guoves ist gut mit dem Bus erreichbar (man läuft dann ca 5-7 min zur Unterkunft und es fährt ein Bus jede halbe Stunde (eher mit Verspätung als pünktlich, aber er kam immer). Die Gastgeber sind sehr nett und hilfsbereit und man fühlte sich direkt willkommen, auch die Nachbarn waren nett und hilfsbereit!! :) (Für Menschen, die einen sehr leichten Schlaf haben: Guoves liegt unter der Flugeinschneise, bedeutet: es starten und landen so einige Flugzeuge, nicht direkt, aber in hörbarer Nähe und auch die Hotels in der Nähe waren einige Nächte doch doller zu hören - allerdings nicht länger als 12 Uhr nachts). Es ist trotzdem super schön dort! Wir kommen gerne wieder!

In due famiglie (9 persone di cui cinque ragazzi), per la prima volta a Creta, innanzitutto siamo stati accolti dall’host in modo molto cordiale e amichevole, seppure in orario tardo (mezzanotte). Le stanze da letto sono spaziose e dotate di armadi e cassetti. Il soggiorno e la cucina (dotata di ogni accessorio necessario), molto ampi e funzionali. Il bagno è completo di vasca con doccia e vi è anche la lavatrice. Si può godere del giardino, con sdraio e comode seggiole nonché di un ampio tavolo con panche. Fuori ci sono anche il barbecue e la doccia. A pochi metri da casa c’è un ottima panetteria e caffetteria gestita da Alexia e Manuel, simpatici e molto disponibili nelle indicazioni sulle località da visitare. In cinque minuti a piedi si raggiunge il mare, con ombrelloni, bar, ristoranti e minimarket. Abbiamo trascorso cinque giorni indimenticabili.

Une vue imprenable dans un lieu très bien équipé et confortable, il ne manque rien. Un environnement entouré de montagnes et un beau jardin qu’on peut utiliser. Il y a plusieurs activités intéressantes dans la région en plus de la ville d’Heraklion qui se situe à 20 minutes seulement en auto. Les propriétaires habitent en haut mais ils sont à la fois très accueillants et très discrets. Un grand merci spécial à Katy pour sa gentillesse mais aussi pour toutes ses attentions. À notre arrivée, nous avons reçu des petits plats, etc… et avons eu l’occasion de goûter la soupe traditionnelle préparée par notre hôte à l’occasion de la fête de Pâques. Un coup de coeur pour notre voyage! Merci Katy et Pantelis pour tout. Hélène et Marc , Canada-Quebec

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.
