Just right
The property was well equiped, spacious and just right. Lovely views. The pool was well maintained and big enough. It is deeper than many, but ideal for adults. A short walk, uphill unfortunately, but downhill after the night out, to the village. With 2 excellent restaurants. A small shop, a bakery and very friendly people. We were sad to leave. Owner extremely helpful and informative at all points.

Villa Clarriss
Stayed at Villa Clarriss in September 2022. Our party was made up of two couples. We had a fab stay and the villa was perfect for the four of us and very well equipped. We appreciated the pool on the hot days and the bbq one evening but as it was so close to the town of Gouves we ate out most days. It was definitely worth renting a car for trips out and shopping but we did walk into the town on a few occasions. Would definitely return to this villa when we visit Crete again.

Wonderful, Private and lovely.
What hits you first is the steep drive up to the villa, but this disappears after a couple of times up and down. You do need transport a car or scooter whatever you prefer any of the hire companies will deliver a vehicle to the villa car or prearrange it at the airport. The villa is spacious bedrooms are a good size with lovely views from both balconies. The kitchen has everything you require dish washer, washing machine, etc etc. They have a lovely pool area and a small barbie on the other hand Spiros who owns a restaurant in the village will come and pick you up and return you back again which is really great. Finally there's a lovely seating area outside near the pool where you can sit in the shade as it gets really hot during the day. Loved our 4 week stay immensely and please take mozzie repellent with you it's a bit costly in the Greek chemists.

Great Villa
Despite all the ongoing issues with Covid we a have been kept updated regularly by the owner Tony which proved reassuring during all the uncertainty. We have visited this Villa twice previously and were not disappointed on our return this year. The villa was very clean and provides a great off the beaten track base to enjoy Crete. The village of Gouves is within easy walking distance and if your driving there are lots of places nearby to visit. The villa is a good size and the pool and surrounding area is ideal for just chilling out in the sun.

Just perfect
From booking to check out the whole process was unrivalled. As a host, Tony is undoubtedly second to none. The communication between us was regular and he was always at the end of the phone if I needed advice. The villa itself was absolutely beautiful, we wanted for nothing. The location was perfect and the facilities were spot on. On the last day we met Tony and his lovely family, which was really good. I would not hesitate to rebook this villa and look forward to returning next year. Thanks Tony, you are an absolute star.

Great Villa
This was our second visit to Lisa & Kirks villa and it was great to be back. The villa is clean and spacious with a good sized pool, it’s ideal for a relaxing holiday slightly off the beaten track. The village is a five minute walk and offers the choice of 3 nice but very different tavernas while a 30 walk gets you down to the main holiday resort & beach. We hired a car and from the villa there is easy access to nearby Heraklion, Hersonissos, Malia, Agios Nikolaos and Rethymno.

Holiday June 2019
This is fantastic Villa as the Home Away Site says. The pictures are accurate, although the Villa was more spacious than it looked. Every thing both inside and out was spotlessly clean and the pool was beautiful. The village is very welcoming and Spryos from the taverna with the same name was really helpful and welcoming. Loved our holiday will book again for a longer stay next time Communication with the owner was really good. Every room in the villa is well equipped, and the wardrobes are massive. We couldn't fault this accommodation.

The villa is wonderful, exactly as described. It had everything we needed plus a few extras. We loved sitting by the pool enjoying the peace and quiet disturbed only by the local cockeral! Spectacular views across the village and toward the sea from the balconies. The villa may benefit from air conditioning in the summer months but not needed during our stay in October. Our only disappointment was, as we were visiting late in the season, that the old part of Gouves was "closed for the winter"; all but one of the local restaurants having shut down so we never got to see the often referred to Spyros. We did however find a plethora of other eating options in Kato Gouves, particularly Atlantis restaurant which was our favourite. Lisa provided all the information we needed and was very supportive during our stay. We thoroughly enjoyed our holiday.

The property was very good.
The only problem we had with the property was that the pool was to deep which was a shame because we were unable to use it also don't feel it would be safe for young children. Gouves its self was very disappointing lots of derelict buildings and not a very good selection of restaurants thank goodness for Spiros in Gouves village lovely people and delicious meals.

Lovely, spacious and secluded
I stayed in Lisa's villa with three other girlfriends for 5 days and it was absolutely perfect. The villa was a great size for four people and we loved that it was set back, giving us a bit of privacy. I would say a hire car is probably necessary, as most things a a bit of a drive away (there is a lovely taverna nearby which is walking distance). This is a great place for anyone looking for a chilled week away with a pool - amazing value for money too. We'll definitely be back!

Great location and privacy guaranteed
We had a fabulous week staying at the villa. Pictures do not do it justice. From the master upstairs terrace you have village, mountain and sea views. What more can you ask for! The villa is well equiped and if there was anything else l would suggest it would be some smaller Pyrex or similar oven dishes as the oven trays and saucepans were huge! The local taverna is 5 minutes walk and Spyros is so helpful and welcoming. Food is good and plentiful. We had a car which we think is essential as we like to get out and about sightseeing. Located approximately 20 minutes drive from the airport means transfers are quick. The beach is 10 mins away and there are plenty of shops and bars for an evening out.

Brilliant holiday
The villa is exactly as described. In a lovely quiet and private position and close enough to village for a short walk to the taverna in the evening.There are plenty of walks round about but when we were there it was usually too hot to walk much so just went out exploring a few evenings when it began to cool down (but not much). The pool was a great help in keeping cool also watching swallows drinking every day. Lisa was great when I asked questions or phoned. Nothing too much trouble. Thanks Lisa for a lovely holiday

Perfect to escape for a peaceful private holiday!
Located in the quiet town of Gouves, this villa is perfect to escape for a peaceful, private holiday. I went with just my girlfriend and I, and it was amazing, so relaxing and out of the way. However it does sleep six, so would be great for a holiday with friends as well. Despite the secluded location, it is still relatively easy to get to the sea front, or local towns such as Heraklion or Malia. It would be ideal for those renting a car as these towns are both about a 20 minute taxi ride away. A taxi is very easy to get from the super friendly guys at ‘Spiros’, a wonderful restaurant in the town. Where you can sit and enjoy a beer, or a raki until your taxi arrives. Lisa was an excellent host and made sure we did not need anything, as well as being on the end of the phone day and night responding to any query we had. The only downside was the rather steep hill up to the town, which may be difficult for those who do not walk as much, however it was not difficult by the end of our week there and also was worth the effort to get the delicious, freshly baked bread from the bakery. We had an amazing time staying here and have already started thinking about when we can go back.

Die Villa liegt ruhig am Dorfrand und wir waren vollkommen allein da. Sie hat einen herrlichen Pool welcher auch bei Nacht farblich beleutet wird. Die Villa ist sehr groß und bietet alles was benötigt wird incl. Geschirrspüler, Waschmaschine, WLAN, einen Grill und weiteres. Zum Vermieter Tony hatten wir ebenfalls einen sehr guten, freundlichen und hilfsbereiten Kontakt. Wir haben uns dort 14 Tage sehr wohlgefühlt und kommen gern wieder.

Schöner Urlaub in schöner Villa!
Wir waren zum dritten Mal auf Kreta und hatten für dieses Jahr eigentlich 2 Wochen im Süden geplant. Aufgrund eines Buchungsfehlers meinerseits stand dann die dortige Villa nur noch für eine Woche zur Verfügung und somit haben wir für die zweite Woche eine Alternative gesucht und gefunden! Zwar ist der Süden der Insel einsamer, entspannter und ruhiger, allerdings für unsere Kinder auch etwas langweiliger. Von daher war der Umzug in die Villa Clarris perfekt. Das Haus liegt etwas außerhalb des Ortes in der Altstadt von Gouves. Somit hat man seine Privatspähre und kann sich auch einmal nackt in die Sonne legen. Trotzdem ist man in 5 Minuten im Ort, wo es ein paar Tavernen gibt, die allesamt sehr lecker sind. Direkt an der Ecke zur Zufahrtsstraße zur Villa liegt Spyros Taverna. Der dortige Wirt steht einem bei allen Fragen zur Verfügung und hat uns sofort herzlich begrüßt. Da Mittwochs, Freitags und Samstags Livemusik ist, war das Lokal leider ausgebucht und wir hatten nicht reserviert. Als allerdings Tonys Name fiel, hat er sofort noch einen Tisch herbeigezaubert. Wir hatten den gesamten Urlaub einen Mietwagen, und der bietet sich auch hier im Norden an, wenn man nicht nur sehr eingeschränkt unterwegs sein und auch mehr von dieser schönen Insel sehen möchte. In 30 Minuten kann man allerdings auch an die Strandpromenade von Kato Gouves laufen, die uns allerdings nicht so angesprochen hat. Die Kinder hingegen waren froh über die Geschäfte und Souvenirläden im Ort! :-) Die Villa selbst bietet alles was man braucht. Im Gegensatz zu vielen anderen Ferienhäusern finden sich hier auch übrig gebliebene Lebensmittel der Vormieter, so das niemand Angst haben muss das etwas fehlt: Salz, Pfeffer, unterschiedlichste Gewürze, Öl, Essig, Kaffee, Filter, Nudeln, Kaba, Tee, usw. ist vorhanden. Es gibt Kühltaschen, Kühlakkus und, wichtig, eine Waschmaschine, so dass man auch die mitgebrachten Kleidungsstücke reduzieren kann,- vor allem mit Kindern sehr erleichternd. Der Pool ist ausreichend groß, 2 Meter tief und abends toll beleuchtet. Vor allem die Kinder, aber auch wir, haben es genossen, abends nach Hause zu kommen und noch einmal in den Pool zu springen. Mit Tony hatten wir einen sehr netten E-Mail-Kontakt und können die Villa nur weiterempfehlen.

Wir hatten in dieser Villa eine tolle Zeit. Ein kleiner abgezäunter Hof - sicher zum spielen für die Kids. Der Pool zum Baden, zum Vögelbeobachten und auch nachts mit Lichtspielen eine Freude. Im Haus alles drin - was man so braucht für einen Urlaub in diesem Sonnenland und was nicht in den Koffer passt (Kühlboxen, Kühlakkus, Waschmittel, Spüli, Verbandszeug,....). Nur die Küche haben wir kaum ausprobiert - das Essen und die Gastfreundschaft bei Spyros Taverne (fußläufig - schon wegen dem Raki...) war ein Erlebnis ;)
