This villa is located just outside of Gouves, a charming seaside resort on Crete. Here, you’ll be a short drive from the sandy shores of Gouves Beach and its nearby restaurants and tavernas, and only 18 kilometres from Heraklion. The villa is ideal for a relaxing family break, boasting a private pool and terrace with sea views. There’s also a barbecue and a shaded outdoor lounge, perfect for alfresco feasts.
