Villa vacation rentals in Gournes Gouvon

We really enjoyed our stay. The accommodation had everything we needed. Our host was very communicative and even brought us breakfast one morning – a very kind gesture! Within 5 minutes, you can reach the beach, a café, a restaurant, and a supermarket. Other than that, there isn’t much in the immediate surroundings, but the location is perfect for a relaxing stay.

Amazing experience! First, the location is very good: 10 min away from Watercity, 25 min away from Amazonia’s Park, 15 min away from Heraklion Second: the house is fully equipped, you got everything you need: kitchen tools, hairdryer, iron, ironing board, dishwasher, washing machine, along with clean towels, beach towels, shampoo, soap, shower gel (just to understand the real hospitality, we stayed in a 4 stars hotel and got the same shower gel), not to say the yard, where you can find sunbeds, shower, a water hose, a big table, umbrella, and so on Third: the house is very well set up: you got external blinds for every window/door in the house, including kitchen and living room, so you don’t get disturbed by the light, and also the temperature doesn’t increase during the day. The house has a very efficient ventilation system also. And the blinds are electric, you don’t even bother to pull them up or down One day we’ve got into trouble, and Sissi immediately helped us Totally recommend

Fanourios’s place was lovely! We were 10 people in total and the place was perfect! We spent 10 days in the property and the place has everything you need. Kitchen was good equipped. Quite location not to far from the beach. He also surprised us with fresh fruit, water, juice and cookies at our check in, a very appreciated detail for us as we arrived 03:00am. I can definitely recommend Fanourios place!

Fantastic place, awesome owner. Full of charm and local cats! Great restaurants and walkable to the beach. Highly recommended!

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!

My family of 6 (with 4 small children) spent 7 days at Xara's location. It was fabulous. Xara and her husband were fantastic hosts with every bit of Greek hospitality (filoxenia) you can imagine. The location of the home is peaceful with a spectacular few of the Cretan countryside. Very accessible and minutes away from everyone you may need - gas station, a wonderful bakery (Fournistiri), village (Episkopi) offering fantastic food offerings, the airport, Heraklion, etc. Its all here. The hosts and home was also very kid friendly. The best part is that we got farm fresh eggs continuously throughout our stay and the children got to even feel some of the farm animals (chickens, goats, horses). Thank you Mihali and Xara. We had a fantastic time.

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!

Our stay at this villa was great for our large group, including two toddlers. Host Nikos welcomed us with a stocked fridge and pantry (milk, water, juice, cereal, bread, pastries), setting the tone for an amazing stay. Nikos was always available through offering exceptional communication, and ready to recommend anything we needed. Convenience is key here, with two bakeries a short 5-minute walk away and a small mini market just 4 minutes on foot. For sightseeing, we used "Private Grouse Drive Sense". Our driver, Panagiotis, provided us with a true white-glove experience – from the luxurious van he drove to his proactive communication, punctuality, and thoughtful recommendations. It truly made our trips comfortable and utterly unforgettable. Panagiotis even helped us with transportation options in Santorini and Athens, making our entire trip exceptionally smooth. Overall, our stay was incredible, and the private driver service elevated our experience. Highly recommended!

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.

We had a wonderful time at Villa Aires from start to finish. The house itself is exceptional and the setting is magnificent. Charis, the property manager went out of her way to help us in every way possible. She was fantastic. Would highly recommend this airbnb to anyone looking for a peaceful holiday in a beautiful place.

Truly beautiful villa! The photos simply do not do this place justice - this wonderful ‘wow’ factor home & surroundings are gorgeous. My family felt immediately at home & relaxed. Villa was clean, well stocked with equipment & our hosts Eleni & Marinos were lovely - both on hand when required & respectful of our privacy. We received a welcome package which was very thoughtful. Filter machine meant no need for bottled water. We walked up to Old Hersonissos a couple of times & enjoyed some lovely food & a little shopping in a vibrant atmosphere. Also we went shopping down in Limenas Chersonisou. We enjoyed BBQ at our villa, eating outside during a full super moon! 🌖 The mountain, the sea view & the sunsets are absolutely stunning. The outdoor gazebo area is fantastic for chilling day or night, with cold drinks (or ice creams) immediately on hand from the outdoor fridge. A/C great for all different areas, but the breeze was just as nice sometimes in the main area. Highly recommend 😊

Great villa with loads of amenities and a short drive to several beaches

Great house with good facilities. We have enjoyed the sauna and hot tub. We got in on a Sunday; the shops are then closed. Giorgos has stocked the fridge with some drinks and appetizers. That was very handy. Furthermore, the village has several restaurants where you can eat within walking distance. Unfortunately, we did not have nice weather every day and wanted to do some indoor activities in the house. The TV in the living room didn't work. Fortunately, this was solved by Giorgos. Netflix is on the TV, but you can only use if you have your own account. We didn't get this right. We did a lot of hikes in the area. Fantastically beautiful area and challenging walks. The gym was also a nice to have at the house and our boys especially used it a lot. Giorgos is a lovely host who goes above and beyond to make guests feel at ease and help when you have a question. He picks it up quickly.

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

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 :)

The place was simply amazing. Quiet, clean and beautiful. A nice pool and a beautiful big garden made the experience even better. Furthermore, Kostantinos was one of the most hospitable hosts I ‘ve ever had. Always responsive and helpful no matter the time. We would always come back and we recommend the place without any hesitation!

Top top top! Super host Super house!

We had a fantastic time. The villa is stunning and had just been freshly renovated. Everything about it is designed to maximize the beautiful views, the airflow, peace and tranquility. The hosts were communicative, kind and generous with flexible check-in and out. The fantastic pool area, stonework, bathrooms, kitchen, linens, sauna/steamroom, washer & dryer, game room -- all were top quality. This was easily the most beautiful AirBnb we have ever stayed in. It was a good home base for exploring Crete. We were also happy to save one day for relaxing at the villa. We were only a family of four, and the villa could have easily held twice as many. Would love to return one day. Made wonderful memories here.

The house was great great. The family found it super comfortable and the pool was wonderful!

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 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

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

The apartment was exactly as described. The pool and the house are very nice. All air conditioners work smoothly, which means it's not too hot in the house. The outdoor area is very good for relaxing. Beach and restaurants are not too far away and within walking distance if necessary, but I would recommend a car.
