Vacation rentals in Chania

Villa Arietta is a dream house. Located in the beautiful hills just outside Kissamos, 10 mins by car from the sea. The house is marvelous and has all the comforts you need to enjoy a perfect holiday. We were two couples with one toddler and a baby and both indoor and outdoor spaces were perfect for our needs. Also, thoughtful little touches like a welcome hamper with local products, and numerous amazing toys for the kids to use in the garden. Arietta and her husband have been extremely helpful and accommodating throughout, and communication has always been quick and proactive. We loved our stay and we really hope to come back again. Definitely recommended, one of the best places we’ve been to!

There was a fire right next to the property just hours before we arrived. It was really unlucky for everyone. However, despite this unfortunate event, Effie, Michail and the team were amazing. They dealt with the situation as best and as quickly as they could and the property was all back to normal in a couple of days. Despite the set back, we had an amazing holiday. The property was spacious for our family of 4 and was as described by the listing and photos. Effie kept the property and pool super clean. Great location, albeit, there’s a pretty steep hill to get to the property so our hire car came in super handy. Plenty of restaurants and entertainment in Stalos, Platanias and Agia Marina. Close to a lidl (5 mins drive). Bus stop just at the bottom of the hill which took you into to Chania for couple of euros each. I would definitely recommend the property.

Had a great family stay. Visited lots of lovely villages and beaches on some amazing roads. Views are spectacular over the mountains. Village is lovely though we mainly just used the very well stocked supermarket just up the hill. A lovely holiday!

The accommodation is a real dream with great views and an inviting terrace with pool. Particularly noteworthy is the cleanliness, we felt immediately comfortable. The accommodation is equipped with everything you need. A big thank you especially to Sifis, he is a great host with insanely helpful tips and recommendations. A rental car is definitely necessary here to get to the beach and the numerous restaurants in a relaxed manner. We can really advise everyone to book this place and have just as great a time there as we did.

Charilaos was an amazing host! He greeted us at the villa and had left us a great stock of food and drinks, which was great for our large group! His house was done really really well, and perfectly suited us with our two babies. It would be great spot for any larger group with the number of bedrooms. The views were also fantastic! We ended up spending an evening by the pool talking and watching the sea. The whole place is beautiful and perfectly accommodating along with one of the best hosts you could ask for.

This house was unbelievable! The location was gorgeous and perfect. It felt private but also accessible and we LOVED the little town. The amenities and entire home were a dream and made our vacation perfect. The only thing better was STAVROS the host! He was AMAZING! Left us treats, helped us multiple times with recommendations, and even brought us freshly pressed oil! We definitely hope to be back!

Manolis' house is superb, everything matches the photos perfectly. It's a peaceful place where you want to stay for a long time. Manolis is also a very responsive and very well organized host. I highly recommend it!!

Alex was an amazing host right from booking. He’s super friendly & reply’s quickly to any questions. We had the warmest welcome on check in & the property is beautiful, with gorgeous & peaceful surroundings. You have all the utensils & cutlery you need for cooking, Alex was always on hand if we needed any help with anything. I will 100% be going back & it’s not something I often do so that says a lot about Alex & his property. Highly highly recommend this place.

What a wonderful house ❤️ we felt at home. Beautiful quiet place with large terrace for dining at sunrise and sunset. In the middle of nature. Super comfortable beds and everything you need in the house. It has become our favorite place in Crete. Thanks very much Ioanna.

Giannis place is just perfect for a family wishing to stay right in the centre of old town Chania. The location just can’t be beat and the house is just fantastic and very well accommodated with enough bedrooms and bathrooms for a family with kids. I highly recommend Yiannis place.

Our family stay was even more enjoyable than expected. We quickly felt right at home. The house (Polymnia) is exactly as described and illustrated by the photos. The view and environment are amazing, while the pool delighted the children. The house is perfectly maintained and clean. The beds are comfortable and the air conditioning in the rooms is very efficient. The overall equipment is complete. The kitchen has all the necessary equipment for cooking, with basic condiments as well. Chrysi is an extremely available host, pleasant to contact. Very responsive, she always responded to our requests, no matter how small. She loves her region and does not hesitate to share her knowledge through valuable advice. We would recommend this simply magical place without thinking twice.

INCREDIBLE! Highly recommend staying here for your next visit in Crete. The home is immaculate. I love that every room has its own bathroom and shower. The view is so beautiful, every morning I would gasp. The owner is so kind, responsive and helpful. Loved eating at the restaurants below. Walking to town was beautiful and only about 20-30 minutes. Thank you Aristeidis!

We were very content with Mina’s House ! Everything matched the description & the hosts were friendly and available for us.

Giannis's place was right in the heart of old Hania making walking to great restaurants and all the sites super easy. Parking was a bit of an issue but Giannis had great recommendations that made it hassle-free and he was always super responsive. The apartment has everything you need , was super relaxing and spotless. The only thing with the central location is it was pretty loud on Friday night but we put on the AC full and we were able to drowned out the street noise. Highly recommend!

The place Was magic we have a private access to the sea and the view was astonishing. The place had all you need and Eleni was Very kind

We spent a month with our 1-year-old daughter at Dimitri's house. The house is walking distance from the sea and a great little bay. The bay is perfect for children. The mini-market and restaurants are also within walking distance. The house was clean and tidy. We lacked nothing. In the evening in bed you could always hear the sea rushing. The garden, like the house, was in impeccable condition. Our daughter particularly enjoyed spending time on the swing here. Dimitris was always easily accessible and immediately on site if there was an issue. We enjoyed our time at Dimitris' and would love to come back.

Beautiful villa in a wonderful setting, the outside space is really spectacular. Everything you could need is available at the villa. We were staying with a 10m old and there were loads of baby items which made our trip so much easier. The hosts couldn’t have been nicer or more accommodating and helped us with recommendations when we asked. Would highly recommend this villa. It’s also within easy driving distance to lovely places on the island.

Especially Ourania - Dafni's mother and Malfada (Dafni's dog in the care of Ourania) really made us feel at home. She showed us what Cretan hospitality is, including local food. Coming home in the evening and sometimes staying there during the day was always a pleasure - both under the wonderful mulberry tree in the courtyard and in the beautiful house. There were plenty of excursion destinations - beautiful beaches and good food too. Thanks for the lovely stay!

We were a party of five, my wife and I and 3 30 year olds, our two twins and a son-in-law. We all couldn't say enough good things about this home: the view has to be one of the best on the whole island, relaxing, extremely private and immediately felt right at home. Starting and ending each day with that view, I didn't need anything else, but there is as much to do as you want. For example, just 6 minutes down the hill, you have the great little town of Platka with a few delicious local restaurants, market and a nice sports bar if you want a cocktail...like me. Another 10 minutes down the hill you come to Alymrida, the small coastal city that has nearly a dozen varied restaurants right on the water. 40 minutes away is the charming city of Chania, the jewel of Crete. This home is centrally located, 20+ minutes from the highway to go anywhere you wish to go...but keep in mind your leaving this view behind. I hope you enjoy it half as much as we did.

Our group of 7 adults had a great stay in Chania at this house. The location is great, in a very quiet neighborhood within walking distance of any restaurants or activities you want to do. The backyard was nice and keypads to get in made it very easy for our group to split up. The only downside we didn’t realize was that the bathrooms are very small and while two bedrooms are en suite, the other bedrooms are pretty far from the bathrooms.

We had a great time staying at Zoi and Jorge's place, Villa Amorada is picture perfect and the surrounds are stunning.

Andrea's villa and location was as wonderful as we'd hoped. We loved swimming in our private pool before breakfast and the view of the ocean from the terrace was outstanding, especially for sunsets, which were spectacular. The location was great, being situated away from crowds but with easy access to many beautiful beaches and tavernas. Andrea's handy hints were really useful, from where to refill water bottles from a spring, or which taverna on Sfinari beach to visit. He responded very quickly if we had any questions, so overall cannot recommend this villa highly enough. Thanks Andrea!

Dimitri and Eleni are top hosts, very welcoming, flexible on arrival times, they have a sense of hospitality and show great humanity and kindness, my family and I had an incredible vacation, we also had the chance to discover the specialties that Dimitri makes, like his cheese, His wine etc… the house is impeccable, very clean, the facilities in the garden are very convenient when you have children, such as the swing, children's games, trampoline etc, the pool has a safety barrier so it is very reassuring for young children. I 100% recommend renting this house, special mention also to Christos with whom I was able to communicate by message on Airbnb and who gave me all the necessary information. I would come back. I👌've done about 10–15 Airbnbs and for the moment this is the best.

A little gem in the quiet village of Stavros. Ideal for couples who want to relax in a peaceful environment. The beautiful little house is ideally situated, in a quiet neighbourhood and within walking distance from a number of restaurants, supermarkets and the famous Zorba Beach. George has made excellent use of the space in the house, which is modern and spotlessly clean. We had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The real wow factor is the outside space. A large private terrace with comfortable furniture, high quality sun loungers and of course our own, private pool. George is very friendly and is always available should you need any assistance with anything. A super host and we highly recommend this lovely house. Fabulous!
