My family and I had never travelled to Crete prior to this holiday but after a short period of searching we decided to book this villa due to its location and the impression given on the listing. We were definitely not disappointed, the villa is magnificent with 5 perfectly decorated and equipped bedrooms, open plan living areas and connecting kitchen leading out to the pool. Eva and her husband Atonis were the perfect hosts providing information as requested and making sure we were comfortable during our stay. The villa is located just beyond the old village of Gouves where you can find traditional local tavernas and come small shops for the basic essentials, a short drive to the beachfront of Gouves you have many more restaurants, taverns, shops and a few beautiful beaches to choose from. Further along the cost you have the livelier Hersonossis with a plethora of bars, restaurants, shops and water sports not to mention go karts etc so a great place to keep the younger members of your party entertained. All in all we couldnt recommend this stunning villa strongly enough and will certainly return in the future (god willing). Eva's hospitality and friendliness is unquestionable, a true diamond of Crete.

We stayed for a week in this beautiful villa. As a party of 7 ranging in age from 13 to 83 it was perfect for all of us. The Villa has 5 bedrooms all ensuite and each bedroom has its own terrace. The communal space is zoned with various areas to relax or eat. By far our favourite room was the kitchen. It is bright, modern, well appointed and includes a large American style fridge freezer. We’ve stayed in numerous large Villas around Europe over the last 7 years and this Kitchen was my favourite! Upstairs is a separate laundry room. From the kitchen you have direct access to the outside terrace and pool area where we spent the vast majority of out time. This area gets the sun from morning to night. The pool isn’t huge but for us it was ideal as you could have a bit of a swim, a float or a cool down. One of the best things about this property is the lovely owner Eva. She is there frequently to make sure everything is going well and she provided fresh towels mid-week and removed the rubbish. She made us a fantastic meal one evening, Greek hospitality is incredible. Eva has engaged a wonderful guy called Vasileios to help manage booking and communication. His English is perfect and he was there to meet us and show us around the Villa. He also provided ideas and recommendations of where to visit during our stay and was extremely knowledgeable and helpful. I’m sure you will have a great time if you choose to stay in this Villa. Would definitely recommend hiring a car.
