Villa Olene Crete - Ideally located in the sought-after resort of Gouves, is a modern 4-bedroomed villa with private pool able to sleep up to 8 guests in welcoming and classy interiors. Enjoying a truly privileged location close to shops, and restaurants and just 200 meters from the nearest top beaches in the area, Villa Olene Crete is the perfect choice for all those guests looking for a relaxing Cretan holiday just steps away from sandy shores and local beaches.

Villa Olene Crete | Luxury Villa with Private Heated Pool and Playroom | Walk to Beach (200m)

Due to its modern and unique design, its spacious and luxurious interior and its comfortable and relaxing exterior, this villa operates to high accommodation standards and is set to meet every guest's highest expectation. The main living area is located on the middle floor and includes a spacious air-conditioned living room with satellite TV (Netflix as well), an imposing marble fireplace, dining area, a terrace, an impressive kitchen with state-of-the-art appliances and a WC. Stairs and internal lift lead to the upper floor where there is a king size en-suite bedroom, a double bedroom and a twin bedroom which share a family shower room that has a washing machine and a dryer.

The lower ground floor houses a large open plan living room with a professional pool table, an additional kitchenette, a double bedroom as well as a family shower room. It is accessible via an internal lift and external staircase. The ground and 1st floor have central air conditioning, controlled for each room independently. The semi-basement has independent air conditioning in the bedroom.

To fully enjoy the amazing Cretan weather and bright sunshine, Villa Penelope has a spacious, private outdoor area with a swimming pool, shaded dining area as well as a wonderful brick-built BBQ area. Private parking is also available on-site.

 

Prime Location

The villa is located in Kato Gouves, a charming seaside holiday village on the north coast of Crete, about 18 km east of Heraklion city and roughly 15 km from Heraklion International Airport - a perfect mix of relaxed local life and holiday-friendly amenities.


Imagine stepping out your door and strolling just a few minutes to soft sandy beaches and the Blue Flag-awarded sea - ideal for swimming, sunbathing and long walks along the shore.

 


What Makes the Area Special

Kato Gouves has grown into a well-loved tourist resort, yet keeps a laid-back, friendly atmosphere that makes it a wonderful place to stay and explore.

- Shops & essentials: Small supermarkets, boutiques, and everyday shops make it easy to grab what you need without going far.

 


Local Character

Unlike a big city, Kato Gouves feels open and easy-going - a place where you can relax and enjoy island life at your own pace. Its long seaside road is dotted with accommodation, eateries and services, but the area never feels crowded or overwhelming.

For a taste of traditional Crete, the nearby historic village of Ano Gouves sits on the hillside with winding streets, local cafés and old-world charm — perfect for a peaceful afternoon wander.

I really don't know how else to describe this villa and also area and of course, Dimitris him self, just a really nice down to earth bloke always happy to help with what ever you need, starting off with he got a list off of us of food stuff we wanted and he went to get it before our arrival so it was there for when we got there. The Villa is huge, plenty of space and rooms to accommodate our family, it's literally filled with everything you would need. Pool and BBQ Area absolutely brilliant, outside area gets the sun all day right up until sunset. There is a few restaurants and bars and supermarkets within walking distance, then there is a whole host more if your willing to walk about 15 minutes. We would absolutely recommend penelope to any family wanting a nice home from home place too stay in a stunning part of crete. Thank you so much Dimitris for letting us stay here, hopefully will be back soon. Cheers

Our family was so comfortable here. Very clean & fully stocked with kitchen equipment. Super relaxing, fun with the delightful pool & quality sunbathing beds. Used outdoor BBQ area a couple of times - a great facility & made outside eating at the villa a real event. Large local CRM Super Market on Ioannoy Konstantinidi, had fresh meat, cheese & basics. Souvenir shops here too.Lidl a short drive away for stocking up. Meal out at Maya Restaurant (few mins walk from villa to sea & a 1 minute walk to left). Beautiful food & sea view. Sunset watching at the church here was memorable too. Happy by pool most days but had a drive out to Potamos beach (25 mins), had lunch at the restaurant here & hired sun-beds on their section of beach. Relaxing with refreshing sea swims.2 meals at Philipos Taverna (also on walk down to sea from villa) - fantastic food & service.Excited for next villa but will miss Villa Penelope - highly recommended & Dimitris is a fabulous host

Dimitris was very responsive to any questions we had, games room which was fab…super comfortable, cleaned half way through the week to change towels etc. WiFi ( you know you want to know this!) was great. Local restaurants walkable and fabulous. Villa had outdoor bbq area and pizza oven for great family meals. Beach 5 min walk if that’s your thing. We were a family of 8 and plenty of space for all. Cant recommend enough an amazing villa and such friendly helpful hosts.

The villa is very clean, spacious and well equipped. The pool area is fantastic. We loved chilling out at the pool and didn’t want to leave. There are a good variety of restaurants and supermarkets nearby. We did a catamaran trip to Dia Island where the tour operator arranged pick up from the Villa. Also only 15 minutes away from the airport. Definitely a location where you don’t need to hire a car.

Lovely villa to relax well

The villa is close to the airport, so with 15 minutes you are at the destination. Large rooms, nice bathrooms, very nice basement with the pool table and table tennis table and a nice swimming pool with large canopy.

A beautiful villa, felt luxurious, with new slippers on arrival too! So much space, and plenty of different eating and drinking areas to choose. The area felt safe, with a short walk away from the coast. We spent most of the time in the neighbouring little villages in the hills, eating at tavernas, as these had the most charm and felt more authentically Greek. Dimitris was a great host, very helpful and responsive. I would highly recommend a stay at villa Penelope, a lovely villa to explore the rest of the island from :)If you use a wheelchair, be aware that the ramp is steep to get up to the house. Fine if you are strong and fit, or if you have someone who is strong to push you up.All is all a top holiday! Thank you Dimitris for having us :)
