Pet-friendly vacation rentals in Kato Gouves

I had a wonderful stay at Lasithi Luxury Villa. Aris and his family are incredibly kind and generous people, making me feel truly welcome from the moment I arrived. The house itself is beautiful, impeccably clean, and well-maintained. The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you might need, and I was delighted to find local homemade jams, raki, nuts, and cookies waiting for me on the living room table—a lovely and thoughtful touch! One of the highlights of my stay was the breathtaking mountain view from both the living room balcony and the garden. The surrounding village is peaceful and enchanting, with warm, friendly locals and stunning, soft natural landscapes that take your breath away. This villa is perfect for anyone looking to disconnect from the world and enjoy a serene retreat. Highly recommended!

It was absolutely amazing. Beautiful views from veranda. Gorgeously traditional house. A step away from a lovely beach. It was up a short, steep hill, perfect for us but might not be for everyone.

Very very Beautiful Apartment and a Yard just for yourself to use and hang out. Perfekt for Couples or Families. There is also a small village with a little shop for some quick shopping. But in 30min you are in Heraklion and at beautiful beaches. Also Georgia is very kind and looks after you! Would def recommend and come back :)

Located just 20 minutes from Heraklion Airport this accommodation is great to relax with beaches and restaurants close by. Just a few minutes walk to the city center. We were able to check in earlier which was great with a little child. Accommodation itself was well-equipped, totally clean and has a cozy outside area. Would stay again!

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!

The Rustic Nook was the perfect place for us on our last 4 days on Crete. It was close to Agios Nikolaos where we spent several of those days exploring and enjoying the food. We went on a few of the many hiking trails in the area. Limnes itself was charming. A local taverna, Christinis, was a highlight with the friendly staff and great food. Amanda’s place was so comfortable, spacious, tastefully decorated, and well equipped. Amanda was always quick to respond. We could not have asked for a better place.

May 2025, 10 nights stay for three (2 adults, 1 toddler). Villa is really fantastic. Beautiful views of the sea and the bay. It offers a lot of space for more people (2 couples, 4-6 friends, 2 families) and for longer stays (storage space, cabinets and shelves, etc.). The equipment corresponds to the description and offers, even in the kitchen, everything you can need. Our highlight was the covered terrace. Our flight was moved up at short notice. A significantly earlier check-in was not a problem at all in our case. Stelios is a very friendly, helpful and dedicated host. We recommend him and his villa without restriction. Small limitation: the accommodation is a bit off the beaten track or the region is a bit scattered (mainly due to the geography of the area). Without your own car, it will be a little difficult in our opinion. However, there is a free parking space right by the house.

Great appartement near the centre but in a very quiet street. Very good size with air conditioning and a little outside terrace for sitting in the evening (shared with the flat across). The only slight problem is the fridge turns off when you leave the flat. But great place, nice and clean :)

We had an amazing 1 week stay at this beautiful place. Also the host was so sweet in helping us. She made sure we found the house during night time and got some food for us for breakfast. Also the place was very clean and the kitchen has everything you need. This place is just magical with the beautiful sunrise every morning. Also the inside of the house and spots outside the house give a very cozy feeling. We would also definitly recommend to hire the chef-kok for a night. It was one of the highlights of our stay because of the amazing food and their kindness to us. Would love to come here again!

We had a wonderful stay at George and Claire’s villa. They were so friendly and helpful with anything we needed. The villa was beautiful and in the perfect location. Would 100% recommend staying here!

great place. very quite and beautiful.excellent vacation.

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.

We had a fantastic two nights stay at Vivi's who is a ever so positive and proactive host together with her lovely husband. She so much took care of our needs and "fed us like her children" :) The apartment is quietly situated and is a gem to all lovers of cats and dogs.

Amazing place to stay and Jekaterina is the BEST host! She was so attentive to our needs and made such fantastic recommendations everyday, which made our stay even better. Thank you Jekaterina! We hope to see you again soon!

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

The villa location is relatively private, while still being able to reach restaurants or supermarkets quickly. It is clean with various great areas to relax and eat. The communication and hospitality of the owner is very proactive and forthcoming, trying to accommodate any additional request, if possible. Overall we enjoyed our stay in the villa.

Very friendly staff and lovely place to stay. Felt very comfortable and relaxed.

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.

lovely villa, fully enclosed garden great for our two small young dogs , close to everything , really enjoyed our stay - thank you

They are very accommodating and easy to talk to. Place was very peaceful. Overall great!

Everything was great. The house is really very close to a beach and it has everything what we needed for a comfortable stay. Highly recommended!

A well-equipped house, nice beds, good shower and kitchen. Nice environment to be out of the hustle and bustle of mass tourism and to seek out the hustle and bustle if you want to. Close to the highway towards Heraklion and Agio Nikolaos; you can get there in no time. Fruit, water, bread, bottle of wine and gifts available. Warm welcome. We greatly enjoyed our week here after being in the area of Chania for a week. We will definitely come back!

One of the most beautiful places we have ever stayed. The host was very friendly and we felt right at home. The view and surroundings are absolutely beautiful. The terrace is huge and also inside there was lots of space for everyone. We were mind blown by the sunset you get to see from there. We thank Eleftheria so much and will definitely come back soon!!
