Crete vacation
Posted 7 Oct. 2024 on HomeAwayWe were warmly welcomed. Short walk to the beach. We had a rental car which was conveniently parked at the unit. There was a sea view and a mountain view from the two outdoor seating areas.
Would recommend this villa

Gournes, Crete
Posted 17 Aug. 2024 on HomeAwayNot easy to find on arrival, but near the beach, the sea and the aquarium. Walking distance to restaurants. The hosts were welcoming and gave us pointers for places to visit during our one-week stay. The beach itself is well-protected from the winds and beaches in Eastern Crete are also recommended on windy days. Our favorite restaurant was Ambrosia.

Very comfy
Posted 29 May 2023 on HomeAwayWe stayed for 5 nights and had a very relaxing time. Close to Heraklion and Knossos. Good restaurants walking distance, especially Ambrosia where we had dinner 3 of the nights. A trip to Matala on the south shore was a highlight. No lift but stairs are doable.

Amazing stay in Crete
Posted 24 Jul. 2019 on HomeAwayExtremly clean, spotless! The owners were so charming and welcoming. They brought us a fruit basket and delicious homemade foods. My husband and myself were there for a week in the middle of July. It was near a little beach and beautiful town. Would definitely go back.

Amazing Greek Hospitality!
Posted 5 Jun. 2019 on HomeAwayThis place is just as advertised. Spotlessly clean with plenty of room to relax in. The front balcony has an ocean view. The back terrace is quite large and has a view of the mountains. There is a nice little beach just a short walk away.
Also, there is a little beach town within walking distance. We had dinner overlooking the ocean from a small Greek Taverna.
Our host and hostess were fabulous. They provided homebaked goods as well as fresh fruit, etc. We had so much that we never needed to go out for breakfast. That was a very nice touch. There is also a washing machine which came in handy as we were out of clean clothes when we arrived!
We rented a car as we wanted the flexibility. Gournes is in between Rethymnon on the West side of the island and Agios Nikoloas. Both were within easy driving distance from Gournes. We wish we could have stayed longer. We hope to return soon!

A lovely, clean, well presented apartment, enjoying views of the mountains and the sea.
Posted 10 May 2019 on HomeAwayAfter a short taxi ride we arrived at Villa Eva. The building is very well presented.
We were taken to the room by the owner and shown the amenities. A very nice touch from the owners on arrival was the huge plate of fruit, wine and Greek food.
Being on the top floor gives you a lovely balcony to the front with a table and chairs and views overlooking the sea.
To the rear is a terrace with chairs and sun loungers and views looking to the mountains.
We hired a scooter to enable us to get around more easily and to see more of the island. We would advise anyone coming here to hire transport as it is a little out of the way.
The owners are friendly and very helpful.
We were taken to the supermarket, treated to food and even dropped off at the airport when leaving.
All in all we would highly recommend Villa Eva and we thank the owners for their hospitality.

Great holiday location
Posted 28 Sep. 2018 on HomeAwayWe greatly enjoyed our stay in Villa Eva 1. It is well located, near a good and uncrowded beach and several restaurants. The apartment was very well appointed, spotlessly clean and extremely comfortable. Eva and her husband could not have been more welcoming, with an initial tour of the area (very helpful), then providing generous hospitality with several excellent home-cooked snacks during our stay.

10 Days on the wonderful Island of Crete enhanced by our living experience.
Posted 13 Jun. 2018 on HomeAwayThere are not enough adjectives to describe the absolutely fabulous experience we have staying at Eya Villa 1. From the minute we were collected by Georgious and Natasha and meeting the most exquisite lady Eva, who we found out to be the epitome of a woman of Crete just wanting to ensure that all was well and provided almost everyday samples of traditional Cretan food and drink absolutely fabulous. The kindness and hospitality was exceptional and helped to make our first experience of Crete most enjoyable. As for the accommodation believe everything it says on the site five star rating all round. Will we be back? you better believe it wild horses couldn’t stop us. Efharista Eva, Georgious and Natasha.
