Perfect location, amazing host, and an unforgettable stay!
We had a wonderful stay at Destino Grand Villa Private Pool in Gournes! The location was perfect, peaceful, convenient, and very close to the sea. The villa was beautiful and made our vacation truly relaxing. Our host was absolutely amazing. She was kind, welcoming, and helped us several times throughout our stay. Thanks to her wonderful hospitality and support, our vacation was truly unforgettable. We highly recommend this villa and would love to return!

A great villa for those looking for quiet and comfort, close to Heraklion
We had a wonderful vacation at Destino Grand Villa. The villa has three spacious bedrooms, each with its own bathroom, making it perfect for a family with older children like ours. The stunning sea view, the short distance from the beach, the villa’s excellent facilities and comforts, and above all, Eleni — the lovely owner — who welcomed us with open arms, provided great recommendations for restaurants, parking spots, and hidden beaches, and truly cared for our well-being, all made our stay an unforgettable experience. We would love to come back someday!

Absolutely amazing stay!
First thing to say is that the photos do not reflect how nice the house is.
Location: Very close to Heraklion (by car) ~15 minutes. It's located 30m from the sea, and around 150-200m away from a very nice, sandy child friendly beach. The upside or downside (depending on what kind of vacation you look for) is that there are no restaurants or big hotels nearby. For us that was perfect cause it was very quite, relaxing and you could sleep with the windows open and hear the waves. However, 3-5 minutes drive and you get to Gournes where there are Supermarkets, restaurants, caffes, bakeries and everything you need.
House: Well equipped, very very clean and the quality is seen in everything: from table, to couch to beds and even the way how the house is designed with paintings lights etc. The pool is great, not too big but enough for 4 kids and 2 adults to chill in it and have some splashes. There's a 10ish car park right by the house so you don't have to worry about that if you have a rental.
Host: We arrived very late at 11pm, which we communicated in advance and not only we found understanding from the host, but also they stayed late and welcomed us. We got offered somer raki, which we obviously enjoyed, and had a very nice bowl of fruit, bread for Dakos and a lot of smiles and positive energy. During the stay we communicated very well, having no problems yet being offered some toys for the pool and at the end some very nice Cretan treats.

Einfach perfekt
Die Gast Frau ELENI hat uns super eingeführt. Sie hat uns sehr viele Tipps gegeben. Das Haus ist wirklich toll mit Swimmingpool. Auch drinnen hat es allen Komfort, den man braucht. Es ist sehr gut gelegen unweit von Heraklion.

Sehr freundlichee und zuvorkommender Empfang Vorort, uns wurde alles gezeigt, Fragen wurden schnell beantwortet. Es war alles sehr ordentlich und entsprechend modern und bequem eingerichtet. Handtuchwechsel und Bettwäschewechsel wurde durchgeführt, Poolreinigung wurde regelmäßig durchgeführt. Wir hatten sogar die Möglichkeit uns Fahrräder auszuleihen. Die Nähe zum flachabfallenden Sandstrand, Sonnenaufgang
Einflugschneise, mit sehr viel Flugverkehr, auch nachts.
