Vacation rentals with a beach view in Crete

This place is wonderful. It is a collection of a few traditional villas which have been beautifully renovated and decorated. Konstantinos offered us a slightly larger villa (Diktamos) which was decorated in the same style and furniture. The villa has everything you need, lovely welcome items, comfortable bed, amazing shower. There is a little mini market on site too open 24/7 for drinks or anything else you might need. Beautiful views of the surrounding mountains and you can see all the way to the sea. Small quiet village with a GREAT taverna, and lots of other places to eat in nearby villages (by car). It is a very windy road up the hill to reach the village but definitely worth it!!!! Remote and peaceful yet close enough to the coast and city that we could enjoy the Chania region. I definitely recommend.

Our stay in Old Town was an absolute dream. Nestled amidst the charming cobblestone streets and historic architecture, this home perfectly captured the magic of the area while providing all the modern comforts we needed. The location was unbeatable — just steps away from iconic landmarks, quaint cafes, and bustling markets. The home itself was beautifully preserved, with touches of its original character shining through in the exposed beams, vintage windows, and tasteful decor.

The location doesn’t get better than this! Really enjoyed the front porch area to take in the view. Has everything you need for a great stay. Great restaurants close by!

Dimitris was a great host. Always responded quickly to questions and concerns. The accommodation was very clean (thanks Maria🩷) and very nicely and tastefully decorated. The location was great. The sea on the doorstep and restaurants, supermarket, bakery, pharmacy etc. within walking distance. We were there as a family but would say the accommodation is perfect for a couple. We will come back for sure.

The apartment is small as you would expect in such a central location in the port area and close to restaurants and shops, but it was quite comfortable for the two of us and could accommodate more. The hosts responded quickly to any queries we had. It is a short walk to the Archeological Museum and a short taxi ride to Knossos. A couple of notable restaurants are Avli and Peskesi, which are above and beyond the standard fare but not unduly expensive. As mentioned in a previous review the restaurant immediately downstairs, Sir Papafigos, was good too.

Lovely top floor unit with a huge balcony and spacious balcony that has views to the North and East. The bed is soft and A/C unit is quiet at night should you need it, but we were surprised how cool the apartment kept despite being 4 floors up. The living room is spacious with a lovely view of the sea and a decent kitchen set-up. The bathroom might not be for everyone as the shower is small and not completely enclosed, but it was not problem for us. Giorgios kindly left us a basket of fruit and a bottle of wine and he allowed us to check-in early, which was a big help for our schedule.

Arrived to very clean and extremely well decorated apartment with lots of personal touches and welcome items. Hosts information and guest book with a lot of information on local area. Location is the best, just across the road from a lovely beach.

Our stay was great! The apartment was spotless,comfortable and fully equipped with everything we needed for a pleasant stay. The location was ideal,close to shops,restaurants and public transportation in case we didn't have a car . The host was helpful and friendly ,always available for anything we needed. We will recommend it unreservedly and we will definitely prefer it again.

I really liked the place and the hosts of Bella Vista. The hosts, especially Evi, have their hearts in the right place and have tried to make my stay as enjoyable as possible. They were always available and gave me tips for things to do and places to eat. All Bella Vista accommodations are unique and a reflection of the culture of Crete. I found my place especially breathtaking. The room was very nicely decorated and I had incredible panoramic views of the city and sea. I highly recommend the place and especially the hosts. You feel comfortable right from the start.

The apartment was ideally located, very close to the beach and restaurants, but we were not disturbed by any noise whatsoever. Plenty of space for a couple and a small child. The outdoor terrace has a good view of the sea. Magdalena was the perfect host, arranging transport to and from the airport and quickly responded to any questions we had. We basically had a very good time and will hopefully return in the future.
