House vacation rentals in Crete

Best place to vacate in Crete. Fantastic host and very good service from Claire.

Our family had an amazing time here! It was a great central location for excursions, and had several restaurants within walking distance as well as some flat roads for jogging. The house was perfect for our needs with a great layout. We enjoyed the pool and hot tub, as well as the clean modern furnishings. Minoas’s communication was excellent! A wonderful host who provided kitchen basics for the start of our stay and a lovely gift at the end. We would love to stay here if we return to Crete.

We had a great time in this beautiful house, everything was impeccable, very clean, super equipped and very functional, the pool was very welcome to cool off under the Cretan sun - In addition Karolina graciously offered us an adorable gift of different Cretan handicrafts a real treat thank you very much, Karolina is very responsive and very efficient Everything was perfect 10 out of 10 if we come back to Crètes it is certain that we will come back to Karolina's Zahra Emma and Jean-Pierre

It was just great - the accommodation, the pool, the view, the tranquility - we enjoyed it very much! The exchange or contact with Manolis was also great, quickly accessible and always very friendly. We can only recommend the place! :)

Nice and clean place, very welcoming owner. Happy to stay with my familly.

My stay was so beautiful! I was travelling alone but at no point felt uneasy or unsafe. I felt very much at home. The place is immaculate and exactly how it looks in the photos. The views are breathtaking and it is a complete peaceful haven! Giorgos also arranged car rental for me, he made it super easy and the company he booked through were great ! I could not recommend this place enough, from the property down to the communication with Giorgos, everything was perfect!

We had a super time with Stefani and Antonis. The villa is super, the pool was warm, the area quiet, and the view down to Herssonios and out right to the mountains was lovely. We chose it because it was walking distance to some shops and restaurants. The village is lovely and a short 5-10min walk from the villa. We were at the very end of the season, so many of the restaurants in the village closed, but we always found somewhere to eat. Herssonios is a longer walk away (maybe 30 mins) and has supermarkets, pharmacies, and restaurants galore, even after the season ended. We found the walk downhill to the town, and back uphill to the village fine, even with 2 kids. Herssonios itself didn’t hold much charm for us, but we found a taxi to Agios Nikolas (delightful), Heraklion’s museum (more engaging for us than the Athens archeological museum), and Rethimno (lovely old town, laneway cafes, long stretch of beach) filled enough of our days. And with a heated pool to return to, no complaints.

A gem and a beautiful retreat in southern Crete. The villa has everything your heart desires, a beautiful view, pool and a modern kitchen that makes every heart of a hobby cook beat faster. I will miss the morning and evening bath in the pool with the view. Since it has almost no light pollution, you can see a starry sky and the Milky Way with the naked eye. Secluded beaches are easily accessible by car within 30 minutes, so a car is highly recommended. Doesn't have to be an SUV. Sam is available at any time and communicates very quickly. Furthermore, he or Lefteris are always available with tips and advice. Sam and Anel are more than super hosts and I can recommend their villa villa 200%.

The vila is like in the pictures, with a lot of space and a good position with view to the sea. ✨

The terrace overlooking the sea and Matala was large and fantastic. The space is simple but equipped with everything you need. It is very central but not too central. There was always life music in the village, which we loved. It was a nice stay all around in an apartment nice for us. If we come here again, we would try to book the apartment again.

We had a glorious two weeks at Niko's place. For the first time at AirBNB it felt like we're were guests at a friends home. All of the promised essentials were provided in generous quantities - Niko's home grown fruit and veg were a particular treat and provided in such generous quantities that we couldn't eat them all. The place is simple but with all the equipment that you could need. The terrace a delight to enjoy the sun and the bathing spot a treat. Niko has landscaped a most wonderful extended garden which made the whole property just beautiful!

Absolutely lovely space. Located on a hillside with a beautiful view of the town below and the mountains in the distance. The host was extremely responsive and gave amazing recommendations for activities around town. It’s hard to list individual things because absolutely everything was perfect. Next time we return to Sitia, I would love to stay here again.

We had a lovely stay in Chania! It was just as described, and had many amenities we needed: beach towels, extra blankets for the bed, fleece blankets to sit on the roof when it was chilly, nespresso pods, even some snacks and drinks in the refrigerator. Evangelina was responsive to any questions and communicative from the beginning. She met me at the property, showed me around and how to use the doors and windows which are high-quality and help block out the sound as much as possible from outside. We had some noisy downstairs neighbors a couple of nights and there wasn’t much that could be done. But just be aware it is a possibility and bring earplugs. I would still stay here again even with the noise, but it did make the second bed area unusable as was too loud to sleep there, so my daughter moved to the room with me. But I still enthusiastically recommend this airbnb, would stay again, and congratulate the hosts on one of the nicest airbnb stays I’ve had. :) Oh and super clean!!

The stay was great. The location with this beautiful view directly on the sea was outstanding! We felt like at home and the children loved it too. We were always able to reach out to Karolos and he gave us great tips for restaurants and things to do. We'd come back in a heartbeat!

“Machil welcomed us with drinks and food, explained everything to us and told us a little about the special features of the place. From the start, he was very attentive and kind. Every day we used the hot tub, and he was always on time. The place is beautiful and very close to Chania. I highly recommend it. Thank you very much, Fabrika Baladakis!”

We had a fantastic time in Chania, the location is very convenient. During March we had the possibility to use the rooftop to enjoy the weather and the view. Everything we needed we had in the apartment. Nice restaurants were in walking distance. We also liked the conversation with the owner and his brother. Everything was easy and nice, we also used the street market every Saturday just 5 minutes away to buy fresh vegetables and fruits directly from the farmers. We already are making plans to come back and spend more time in Chania. Thank you Nektarios for your help and your kindness.

Excellent stay in a wonderful setting in the heart of nature, very beautiful view between mountains and sea in an authentic setting! Tidy and tasteful apartment!

Premium Airbnb accommodation: you benefit from both impeccable, very well equipped and beautifully decorated accommodation and a great personalized welcome by Nadine. Her advice is excellent for discovering the local culture, it's very easy to communicate and she has a real sense of hospitality. The very well renovated house is located in an agricultural area, the completely enclosed exterior is beautifully vegetated and very well laid out so that you can enjoy it at all times of the day. Lots of points of interest within 20-min drive. Highly recommended!

Very private, no noise from neighbors. We hardly heard any noise from the traffic as the apartment is not directly on the road. We stayed for a week and spent much time on the incredible balcony: you can always find a space in the shade there. We loved the Galini beach nearby. only downside is that you have to walk for 200 meters along the road, as there is no footpath. There is a private beach closer by, but not everyone will be willing to climb down. It's doable for most people, but it is no walk in the park. If you like solitude, or if the Galini beach is too crowded, then certainly try to go the private beach. The WiFi in the apartment and on the balcony is good enough to stream video to one laptop. We had a tremendous time and certainly will come back some time in the future

A little piace of heaven! This is not just an incredibly beautiful villa with a gorgeous garden and pool. There comes so much more with this stunning location, from the peaceful surroundings to Irina's attention to detail and kindness. If you are looking for a place to relax, recharge and enjoy Crete far from tourist spots in complete privacy this is your place.

Heike's place was super well maintained and had everything your heart desires. We felt comfortable and enjoyed our time very much! Heike was also on site on the day of our arrival and personally gave us many helpful tips and explained everything necessary. She was also quickly available to us at any time. Utensils for grilling meat and fish were also fully available. The surrounding small towns with numerous localities are quickly and easily reached by car. If you are athletic, you can also do it on foot :) . But even at home you can unwind, either in a hammock or a lounger.

Great opportunity to stay in a beautiful location at a great value. Excellent flat with space and a peaceful getaway from the hustle and bustle of bigger areas.

Very nice house, tastefully furnished and decorated, with all the amenities, large kitchen, barbecue, etc. Outside we enjoyed the large, very shaded terrace. The courtyard offers great privacy. The nearby village is very pleasant on foot, and offers many restaurants and cafes. Everything was perfect, I recommend it. A big thank you to the owners for their responsiveness and attention.

This place is amazing! Cleopatra received us in person, with gifts for us. She introduced us to the accommodation with passion, took us to the charming little square of the village, explained the various activities and surrounding spots. the view from THE terraces is breathtaking (bird 's-eye view of the sea from the heights). the house is perfectly equipped, there is more bathroom than bedrooms. The geographical location is ideal for visiting the entire south center area of the island, which we seek calm and authenticity. for typical and cheap dishes, appointment at the Platia taverna on the small charming square of the village. Too bad we can only give 5 stars maximum! We'll come back, I promise.
