Villa vacation rentals in Charkia

We had a really lovely stay. The house and garden are just like the photos. It's a really peaceful place and there's a good taverna just down the road. Irini was a brilliant host and had some really helpful suggestions including Taverna Fantastiko which we really enjoyed. It's also not too far from Margarites which is a good day out if you like pottery.

This place is a treasure. The views from the living room and kitchen are spectacular. The house has many clever features that are well designed. The area around Almyrida is fun to explore--go down to the beach or on a hike along the coast. Almyrida is a cute beach town, very welcoming. And we did several further from the town adventures. We had no idea that Crete has so much to offer--pottery in Margarites, beautiful beaches, intense hikes, exceptional museums, exploring Hania's historic streets. The property management team were wonderful to interact with. We felt so fortunate to find such a gem. Thank you!!! We sure hope we can return.

I rested with my friends in this villa, it was fantastic, a very quiet and relaxing place, a great restaurant is nearby, all the necessary infrastructure is 15 minutes away by car, this place is exactly what you need after a noisy busy city, I sincerely recommend it

Beautiful Villa and great host. Lots of communication and very helpful. We had a lovely week and would recommend to others.

We had a wonderful time. Adamantios is a fantastic host and the place is perfect.

Like the photos shown in the listing, it's a very beautiful house equipped with a pool and a beautiful sea view. We had a great vacation in this house. The host's response and reaction are quick and really convenient. On the third day, we accidentally locked ourselves out at 11:00 p.m. and left our keys inside the house. Richard responded quickly and helped us find a locksmith to open the door for us. We sincerely appreciate Richard's help. Whether it's the material conditions of the house or the host's service, I highly recommend staying in this villa when you go on vacation in Crete.

The house impresses with its large windows, which allow a beautiful view of the sea. In front of all windows, there are sliding mosquito nets, so that even at 40 degrees outside temperature a good indoor climate prevailed. A highlight was the starry sky, which we could enjoy on the mattress on the terrace (under a safe mosquito net). Federico provided us with fresh eggs, goat yogurt as well as honey and olive oil every morning. The interaction was extremely friendly and his tips were excellent. In particular, we will miss the tavern Agios Georgios, a bit individual, flower power and with excellent cuisine.

Our two-week holiday at Villa Zelda was nothing short of incredible. The villa itself is absolutely stunning and far exceeded our already high expectations which had been set by the beautiful photos we saw online. Stamatis’ level of customer care is exceptional. On any occasion we reached out to Stamatis he responded immediately with helpful support that we really appreciated. The quality of the villa, the layout, and the inclusion of modern conveniences all contributed to our satisfaction. The infinity pool with jacuzzi, the sunbathing area, outdoor dining spaces, and well-maintained garden were all top-notch. As if all that weren’t enough, we were treated to breathtaking sunsets on most evenings. The recommendations in the welcome pack were fantastic. We didn’t manage to visit all of them, but the ones we did try were outstanding. In summary, this is one of the best holiday’s we’ve ever had. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend your service and Villa Zelda to anyone!

Beautiful place, great for families. Lots of toys and even a potty for the kids! Cleaner came mid week which was not necessary but so great. Beach is a 3 min walk. Really need a car to get there which was fine for us! Thanks for everything.

An absolute gem, we had an amazing stay at Maria's place. The house is absolutely beautiful, modern with quality all around. It's also super private with nothing but nature around you. Will definitely be coming back!!

Wbu is a fantastic host and the villa is simply stunning. Wish we had more time there. Highly recommend!

Me and my family stayed here for a week and had a wonderful time. The location is close to restaurants and nice beaches, yet very quiet. The villas are of new construction and extremely comfortable. The view is amazing. Highly recommended!

We had a wonderful stay at this stunning villa. So tranquil, we all loved it. It was well designed and we had everything we needed for our nine day stay. The owners were very quick to respond to a couple of queries we had. One of the best Airbnb we have stayed at. We will definitely be back

Nikos was an excellent host! He brought us fresh goodies and made sure we had everything needed. The home is beautiful and exactly has pictured. I recommend renting a car if you stay here as it is quite desolate location and not walkable to restaurants/shops.

Wonderful stay if you are looking for an amazing and well equiped house in the countryside!

Can’t say enough positive things about Anna and Costa’s villa. We had an amazing stay. The villa was clean, spacious and in excellent condition - just like the photos. The pool was fab. Anna & Costa’s local recommendations were great. The whole family enjoyed the trip - thank you so much!

Our stay at Manza Villa was amazing. We had a party of 10 ( 6 adulta 4 teen agers) … The villa exceeded the expectations with an amazing owner, who greeted us upon arrival and Etouri was excellent at providing recommendations and arranging fishing and chef. We highly recommend Cretan Gastronomy Experiences as a chef if you are looking for an extraordinary food experience in the villa. The villa was great for swimming , lounging , pickleball , basketball! The kids had a ton of fun. The location was really nice , 10 mins to Rethynmo and super market , coffee, bakery all 2 mins away. We enjoyed Spilies beach 10 mins drive as the kids wanted to cliff dive 🤷‍♂️. Five stars and highly recommended!

Lovely stay in good quiet surroundings. Beautiful view. Lovely with private bath per. Room. Super good for relaxing family vacation.

A wonderful stay started with a great welcome, where even dinner was ready. Fridge was stocked with something, and a bountiful fruit basket. The house is very well cleaned and everything is ok. Clean swimming pool, with good outdoor furniture. Very good with a separate part in the pool for the smaller guests. Would definitely recommend a stay here and will probably come back sometime👌

We had an amazing stay in the Villa! Manos was always reachable via the phone and welcomed us for the check in and showed us around the Villa. The garden/pool of the Villa looks exactly as it does on the pictures and it was just amazing. It's about 10-15 minutes outside of Rethymno by car which is totally fine. I'd book the Villa for a next visit without hesitation. Thanks again for everything!

We had a fantastic time. The villa is stunning and had just been freshly renovated. Everything about it is designed to maximize the beautiful views, the airflow, peace and tranquility. The hosts were communicative, kind and generous with flexible check-in and out. The fantastic pool area, stonework, bathrooms, kitchen, linens, sauna/steamroom, washer & dryer, game room -- all were top quality. This was easily the most beautiful AirBnb we have ever stayed in. It was a good home base for exploring Crete. We were also happy to save one day for relaxing at the villa. We were only a family of four, and the villa could have easily held twice as many. Would love to return one day. Made wonderful memories here.

Fantastic great house with a lovely terrace and a lovely view. Our two young children loved the pool. The house and location were even better than the pictures. It was a short distance to the beach, shops and restaurants. The kitchen was exceptionally well equipped and it was nice to be able to barbecue outside in the evenings. Highly recommended!

A Dream stay with a Capital D! What a fantastic experience we had in this beautiful vacation home! From the moment we arrived, we felt right at home, thanks to the warm and attentive service of the hosts. The house itself is a gem: tastefully furnished, sparkling clean and equipped with every comfort. But the absolute cherry on top was the huge swimming pool. We enjoyed the sun, the refreshing water and the quiet environment for hours. It was the perfect place to relax and spend quality time with each other. The service was really excellent. No question was too much and we were spoiled with small attentions and good tips about the area. This made our stay extra special and carefree. In short, if you are looking for an idyllic vacation home with a great pool and top-notch service, look no further! This is a absolutely recommended

The Villa is absolutely stunning it had everything you could possibly want, very clean and spacious with all quality modern fixtures and fittings throughout. My children especially loved the pool and hot tub which were cleaned throughout the week. The area was nice and peaceful very close to the beach, had restaurants and a super market within walking distance. About a 10 minute cab ride to plenty more bars and restaurants. The host was lovely very welcoming, she was there to meet us on arrival, was very approachable always contactable and very knowledgeable about the local area. The host couldn’t do enough for you even stocking the fridge with some essential groceries which I thought was very nice touch. Even brought us a handmade gift when we were leaving which was so thoughtful. Would definitely use this Villa again and would recommend to anyone.
