Villa Poulo

About this property

Villa Poulo is a modern two-storey detached haven in the charming village of Gouves, resting along the serene northern coast of Crete. With its three bedrooms and two bathrooms, this villa graciously accommodates up to six guests, perfect for a family holiday, or a group of friends sharing.

The ground floor welcomes you with an inviting light and airy open-plan living space. A generously sized wrap-around sofa provides comfort, complemented by a smart TV streaming your favourite shows. Adding to the warm ambience, an open wood-burning fireplace stands ready for cosy evenings. The adjacent six-seater formal dining set is perfect for some impressive indoor entertaining. The separate monochrome and stainless steel kitchen is fully equipped with all the latest built-in appliances you will need to cater for your holiday. The first of the bedrooms can be found on this floor, with twin beds and fitted wardrobes, and a shared fabulously tiled shower room with a hand basin and loo.

Take the stairs to the first floor, where you will find two more double bedrooms. The master bedroom has a double bed, accompanied by bedside tables, fitted wardrobes, and a furnished sea-view balcony, where you can sip your morning coffee and watch the sunrise. The second bedroom has twin beds, a bedside table, and ample wardrobe space. These bedrooms share a family bathroom, complete with a bathtub, hand basin and a handy washing machine. The top floor boasts a fabulous furnished terrace, where you can all gather for cocktail hour and admire the sun setting over the horizon and the azure waters of the Aegean Sea.

The exterior of Villa Poulo is a sanctuary unto itself. Enclosed by classic stone walls and high fencing, the grounds encompass verdant lawns and pebbled gardens. The inviting ladder-entry pool takes centre stage, surrounded by contemporary mesh sun loungers. For shaded gatherings, a pergola-covered eight-seater dining set is the hot spot for al fresco feasting.

Modern amenities at Villa Poulo cater to your needs, ensuring a seamless stay. Air conditioning keeps you comfortable, whilst internet connectivity keeps you connected. Parking is convenient, and entertainment is enhanced with access to Netflix, and other streaming channels. The modern kitchen boasts an oven, hob, microwave, and dishwasher, along with that must-have espresso coffee maker for your morning brew.

Villa Poulo can be found in the charming village of Gouves, located on the northern coast of Crete, an idyllic Greek island in the Aegean Sea. Travellers arriving at the nearest international airport, Heraklion Airport, find themselves just a short journey of about eighteen kilometres away, greeted by the warmth of Mediterranean hospitality.

The area boasts numerous sandy beaches within easy reach, including Gouves Beach and Analipsi Beach, both offering tranquil waters that are perfect for swimming and snorkelling. Water sports enthusiasts will enjoy the thrill of windsurfing and jet skiing, and paragliding for the adrenalin junkies.

For hiking enthusiasts, the nearby hills of Skotino and Ederi offer scenic trails, ranging from easy walks to more challenging treks. The trail on Skotino Hill, approximately four kilometres from Gouves, rewards hikers with panoramic views of the coast and surrounding landscapes. The Ederi hill trail, about six kilometres away, leads through olive groves and traditional villages, granting a glimpse into local life. History lovers can explore the ruins of the ancient Minoan civilisation at Knossos, and spend the afternoon meandering around the Heraklion Archaeological Museum, housing a rich collection of artefacts.

As the sun sets, the town comes alive with a vibrant nightlife. Visitors can relish traditional Greek cuisine at local tavernas. For those seeking entertainment, live music venues and bars offer enjoyable evenings, where you may even be able to dance until dawn.
