We stayed here June 8-13 and it was Fabulous! Great location. Beach accessible right across the street. Very quiet, very clean. Loved that it had a washer and dryer. Loved the balcony for early morning coffee. Highly recommend!!!
Cute little house well furnished in a quiet environment. Well equipped. If I had a small negative thing to say, it would be the wooden sofa which is very hard. The agency staff was very reactive and nice

Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, communication
Mini Bella Gonia exceeded all expectations for our second trip to Crete! We loved everything about the property, it was super clean & had the sweetest finishing touches. The property is in the loveliest little welcoming neighbourhood with no other tourists - which we loved! It was fantastic to meet the owners on our way out as you can see real care & attention has gone into creating the property. Everything from mosquito screens, brilliant air con, easy parking & your own pool, some lovely ouzo on arrival & a big thanks to the management company for great communication! 5 stars 🌟 Thank you!
Currently, the only completed mini villa out of four. The other three are constructed, but not completed. Because this was the only one it was wonderfully private. Everything was exactly as shown. The owner even had it cleaned midway through our 10 days day. An easy walk to the grocery store and the café. Nestled in Gonia with houses all around. We even saw a herd of sheep going up the road! I would recommend that you rent a car if you’re going to stay here as the big sights of Crete are a bit of a drive. Absolutely perfect for a quiet, relaxing getaway. We will absolutely stay here again if we’re ever back in Crete.

Dear Nicole, thank you for your kind review and we hope to have the chance to host you again in the future! Best regards, Kreta Eiendom Team.
Het was een prachtig huis voor 2 personen. Alles was aanwezig. Gemakkelijk in- en uitchecken, communicatie verliep vlot. Het huis ligt perfect in het midden gelegen op het eiland om alles te bereiken.
Gemütliches Ferienhaus für zwei Personen abseits des Touristentrubels.
Optimale Ausgangslage für Ausflüge.
Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt. Die Lage des Hauses und des Pools ermöglicht Privatsphäre.
Die Tarvernen und der Minimarkt in der Nähe bieten alles für den täglichen Bedarf.
Wenn es uns nochmal nach Kreta verschlägt, definitiv wieder im Bella Gonia Mini.

What makes this property unique
The location of the property is unique, Gonia is a traditional Cretan village, located on the national road Rethymno-Chania, approximately 12 km southwest of the city of Rethymno. Built on a hill with a panoramic view, at an altitude of 220 meters, Gonia was constructed during the Venetian rule, around 1350, by local Cretans, who came from the surrounding villages and settled in a corner (=gonia) of a little valley, named Little Gonia (to distinguish it from Great Gonia or Asi Gonia). Various businesses have been operating in the Gonia village, such as taverns, mini markets, cheese making units and some small local businesses, and this can give you the opportunity to live some moments as a local. In a close distance you have the chance to visit many interesting places like Argyroupolis waterfalls.
