Beautiful location on the hill overlooking Platanes Beach and Rethymno. Lovely to have peace and tranquility but close enough to the beach. Evita made our stay effortless

Three generations of my family and partners gathered at this beautiful property for ten nights. Marina and Vasilis patiently answered our many enquiries and directed us towards excellent places of interest, beaches and restaurants. They went out of their way to help us celebrate our daughter's 30th birthday. The property is in excellent condition and very spacious so we had plenty of room to spread out. The high quality WiFi allowed my daughter's partner to work while he was here. This property offers excellent value for money. I highly recommend this villa to anyone wanting a wonderful holiday for the whole family.

My family loved our stay at Villa-Gonia. We wanted to stay somewhere quiet and peaceful so we could relax but also stay in a location where we could access all the places we planned to visit in Crete. Villa-Gonia ticked all those boxes and even more!! To start, the owners, Marianna and Nikos are the most kind, helpful, generous and friendly people you could ever hope to meet. We were treated like family and we felt so genuinely welcomed and looked after. We loved eating at the fantastic taverna they own down the road, and the food was delicious. Next, the house is absolutely immaculate and has everything you could possibly need on holiday. The house is spacious and it works well for a small family or a larger family. The pool was beautiful and our children had a great time mucking about in the water. We hired a car and had planned to travel to lots of different places in Crete. The house is about 15 minutes away from Rethymno - a great old town to explore and it is about an hour and a half from Heraklion airport. We went to some beautiful beaches in the south of Crete and they took about 45 minutes to get to. We loved basing ourselves here and driving around Crete through lovely little villages and through truly amazing landscapes. We saw so many amazing things on our adventure around Crete. And at the end of the day, we returned to our lovely house, where the sky was full of stars and we could rest our tired bodies in absolute peace and quiet. We loved staying here and I highly recommend it as a great base for your adventure in Crete. Thanks Marianna and Nikos for making our stay so wonderful and memorable. We had a wonderful time in Crete and it has a special place in our hearts. Much love, Rachel, David, Xavier and Olivia
