Find Historic Hotels in Gouves

"Felt so lucky to find Valley View Lodge! If you’re looking for a place away from the tourist areas with quaint small village charm, this is it. Not much happening in the village but a walk around gives a feel for the quiet life away from the coast. Eat at the Golden Cage for dinner, the only restaurant in the old part of town. Good food and eclectically decorated. The lodge was comfortable, with a lovey balcony for lounging. It is just as pictured. The stairs are a little tricky but easily...

"The property was beautifully clean, in a great location and the hosts were wonderfully welcoming - the additional extras were an unexpected pleasure. Thank you."

"Wow! The Old Olive Mill is a gorgeous restoration, with a sun-trap courtyard for dining/reading/lounging and amazing views from the two balconies of the monastery across the valley. Blissfully quiet, interrupted only by tinkling goat and sheep bells and the little hoopoe bird singing its heart out from the telegraph wires. The village is tucked away, very quiet, with a little cafe and a great restaurant. Yet all this is only a twenty-thirty minute drive from Heraklion and Knossos. Perfect place...

"Manolis and Evi, we’re absolutely amazing, we were met at the apartment after they had organised a taxi to pick us up at the airport. The apartment was even better than expected and very convenient for all our needs. We will definitely return and would highly recommend their properties, as they are very well organised and lovely people. Many thanks to both of you for an amazing holiday. Rob & Nicky"

"We enjoyed our stay very much. Nothing to complain about, we even got used to the small shower."

"My parents had the best vacation ever! The host was very responsive and helpful! The place itself was very conveniently located to the beach, grocery store and restaurants. Thank you so much for hosting my parents! Kate"

"What a beautiful location! Just one block away from the beach, and right beside the grocery store and a number of excellent restaurants, we were happy to settle in here for a week. The patio is awesome and we were grateful for the fully outfitted kitchen and great air-conditioning. We locked our keys inside once during her trip and our host, Manoulis, was there wit in a few minutes to cheerfully open it up for us. He was very warm and informative when we arrived, letting us know all the best...

"A lovely property in a stunning setting with wonderful views . The villa and gardens are well maintained but the bathroom could do with updating . Apart from that was very good ."

"Manolis was an incredibly kind and gracious host. He spent a lot of time making sure we were comfortable and offered many suggestions on things to see and do. His place is perfectly situated in Kokkini Hani. It’s stylish, spacious, safe, nicely decorated and comfortable. The veranda was a pleasant surprise. The washer was a bonus and the kitchen offers all the amenities. I highly recommend Manolis place for a relaxing and enjoyable stay. See you soon, we come back."
