Great place to stay in Crete for a peaceful and private getaway near beautiful beaches. The villa is luxurious and the view is amazing. Stella is a great host. Easy to communicate with. Clear instructions and good recommendations. We had a great holiday here and would love to come back one day and explore further.

4.91 out of 5 average rating, 116 reviewsGarden villa with private pool and sea view.
Myself and my wife stayed here on our honeymoon. The villa was absolutely amazing! Such a beautiful space, with everything you could possibly need. Getting there by GPS alone may be tricky, since Google Maps doesn't recognise the private road it's on, but Giannis & Evi's directions were so precise that we had no difficulty finding the property. The hosts were very communicative and firendly, and kept in contact with any updates. There are some fantastic nearby restaurants, and the nearest village has some very good coffee and a mini market for groceries. We would highly recommend this spot to anyone looking for a peaceful Cretan holiday.

5 out of 5 average rating, 29 reviewsLotusland, a relaxing house in Amari Valley Crete
Wir waren eine Woche in der Unterkunft von Kostas und haben uns sehr wohlgefühlt. Das Haus ist wirklich sehr schön, sehr modern, blitzsauber (innen wie außen) und entspricht den Fotos. Wirklich toll sind die vielen Sitz-/Essplatzmöglichkeiten: Innen am großen Esstisch, auf dem Patio und auf dem Balkon. Schön ist auch der kleine Pool, den wir viel genutzt haben. Er ist nicht beheizt, aber dafür abends stimmungsvoll beleuchtet. Insgesamt ist die Beleuchtung im Haus und auf dem Patio schön gestaltet. Auch die "Kaffeebar" ist super. Die Küche ist sehr gut ausgestattet und gut nutzbar. Man muss sich im Klaren sein, dass man mitten in den Bergen ist. Die Aussichten und Blicke sind extrem schön – für Ausflüge etc. muss man allerdings Fahrtzeiten einplanen. Auch ist wirklich ein kleines Auto zu empfehlen, da das Parken vor dem Haus schon ein wenig Manövriergeschick verlangt. Vielen Dank an Kostas, der uns als Willkommensgruß einen Raki, leckeren Käse und einen Snack bereitgestellt hatte.

Una vacanza rilassante davvero. La villa è molto bella, ben fornita e attrezzata. Biancheria di qualità e letti morbidi. La zona esterna con piscina e idromassaggio è ampia a accogliente. Maria è molto gentile ad accogliere gli Ospiti e a fornire tante informazioni sui dintorni e cosa fare. Consiglio a tutti di soggiornare qui e ringrazio ancora Maria per la cordialità e la disponibilità.

Amazing place really something special. We have stayed in many beautiful places but this one is right at the top. The views are staggering and the quality of accommodation is right up there. The delightful couple who manage it really add to the experience. Fabulous quiet beaches nearby and a lovely pool with fabulous views.

Wonderful House in beautiful surroundings, big garden, great pool, great views. We really felt at home, every kitchen tool an all necessities were there, shelves full of books in english, german an norwegian language. Eivind is a very nice host who answered promptly to all questions and provided valuable recommendations for nearby restaurants and beaches. We had a wonderful time on Crete!
Home in Litsarda
5 out of 5 average rating, 23 reviewsDesign meets nature in Crete.
We booked Mello House for our honeymoon, and we’re so pleased we did. The house is quite literally a hidden gem down a dirt track - perfect location for a romantic stay in a beautiful part of the world. The house is incredibly peaceful and private, but with all the amenities you’d expect of a luxury villa. We particularly loved the pool with the swim jet, and the giant bath in the bedroom. The hosts, Jude and Andreas, were fantastic from start to finish. Checkin was easy (and early!), and they provided continual support & really helpful recommendations throughout. The surrounding area has all the thing you’d need within 5 minute drive. Chania is about a 40 minute car journey - but it was very easy to arrange taxis both there and back if you’re looking for a night out. If you’re thinking of booking a hotel over Mello House, there’s absolutely no question that the latter is better in every way, and really excellent value for money for what you get. We will be back!

4.94 out of 5 average rating, 66 reviewsMemories House - 3 mins walk to the Argilos Beach
Niki was a lovely host, when we saw her in person she would politely ask us how we are, about our stay and equally / mindfully giving us space and privacy. She has a very beautiful, clean, well presented, and very functional home. It has the right amount of privacy, situated within Olive Groves and with neighbours spaced out. There are stunning views outside all the windows, especially the main foldout doors onto a lovely patio with table and 2 sunbeds. There is a lovely beach cove 3 mins walk away, which we borrowed sun chairs and umbrella for. From this beach you can walk to other stretches of beach and Tavernas. It's easy to walk or drive to the other Tavernas and Mini Mart in the village. Equally other villages, beaches, sightseeing, archaeological sights and hikes are easy to explore. We would happily stay here again! *We also enjoyed some lovely figs from Nikis Garden, and some sweet treats offered for my partners Birthday 💖
Home in Aptera
4.95 out of 5 average rating, 80 reviewsBeautiful renovated villa in Aptera
We had a wonderful time at Villa Niki. A beautiful home with a rustic yard, breathtaking mountain view, well equipped. The communication with Mihalis was quick and easy. The location is perfect in order to reach the beautiful Cretan sea and go on day trips to beautiful villages. I highly recommend it!

4.96 out of 5 average rating, 152 reviewsSea Star-seafront
Excellent spot for some peace and quiet. The host was incredibly helpful, welcoming and responsive. He provided a great platter of fruit, raki and some homemade (by his mother) baked treats. The house was spotless. There are 2 locals taverns, one a 5 min walk and the other a 20 minute walk away. Would come here again!
Home in Marathi
4.92 out of 5 average rating, 52 reviewsSea and Sun Marathoula House! Beachfront,Sea View!
An amazing stay at a gorgeous house on the beach - a pleasure to watch your kids play in the sand while you sit on a private terrace just above. Restaurants (and the people running them) were absolutely wonderful. Its a small area, detached from the city and large tourism projects elsewhere. But Marathi Beach has everything you need for a very relaxing and enjoyable visit. My only comment is that the home lacks an indoor livingroom / dining area. It didn't bother us as we happily ate at the covered outdoor table or sat by the beach in the covered loungers - but this may not suit someone looking to relax inside in the late evening
Home in Mirsini
4.95 out of 5 average rating, 20 reviewsΈπαυλις
Ce logement est juste incroyable. Certes, il faut trouver mais vous y serez aidé, et la route est ce qu’on appelle hors des sentiers battus. Mais cette vue… indescriptible. La montagne et la mer, à perte de vue. Tout ce qu il faut pour en profiter sur la terrasse : une grande table, un salon, des transats, une balançoire, un jacuzzi. Pas un bruit, rien ne viendra perturber la contemplation. La maison est rustique mais très confortable, bien équipée et parfaitement propre. Ajoutez à ça le meilleur accueil que je n ai jamais reçu! Sans aucun doute, le meilleur Airbnb de ma vie!
Home in Chania
4.96 out of 5 average rating, 55 reviewsLuxury TreeHouse - A breath away from the beach
Die Unterkunft ist noch toller als auf den Bildern! Man fühlt sich wie in einem Baumhaus und wird morgens, wenn man den Raffstore offen lässt, wunderbar von der Sonne geweckt. Sogar ein wenig Meerblick ist vom Bett aus dabei :) Es wurde sogar, unerwarterterweise, regelmäßig das Appartment gereinigt und die Handtücher ausgetauscht. George und seine Frau sind super freundlich und haben gute Tipps für Aktivitäten in der Umgebung. An einem Abend hat uns Georges Frau eine leckere, auf Wunsch vegetarische, Pizza gemacht und George hat sie uns von seinem Haus runtergebracht. Der ruhige und wenig touristische Loutraki-Strand nebenan ist in 3-4 Minuten zu Fuß erreichbar. Das Restaurant auf dem Nachbargrundstück hat leider ab Oktober geschlossen. Man braucht auf jeden Fall ein Auto um zum Supermarkt, Tavernen, Städten etc. zu kommen. Wir hatten einen Fiat Panda, würden aber etwas leistungsstärkeres empfehlen. Ohne Auto kann man fußläufig nur zum Loutraki und Marathi Beach nebenan kommen.

5 out of 5 average rating, 66 reviewsThe Epicurean
Wir hatten wunderbare 6 Tage in "The Epicurean". Das Haus ist durchdacht und mit viel Liebe zum Detail eingerichtet und dekoriert und sehr sauber. Wir haben uns sofort wohl gefühlt und wollten gar nicht wieder gehen. Marianthi ist eine sehr zuvorkommende und freundliche Gastgeberin. Eine von ihr zusammengestellte Infomappe mit vielen Tipps für Unternehmungen und Restaurants war sehr hilfreich. Ganz lieben Dank für alles, Marianthi! Wir kommen wieder!!

Me and my fam. of four really enjoyed our stay in Eleftheria Seaside Trad. house. The apartment was very clean and we felt really at home. It is located within walkingdistance to everything (town square, numerous restaurants, beaches and beautiful hikingtrails). The view was lovely, and on the cosy terrace we could enjoy the sun in the morning and the shade in the afternoon. We will recommend the apartment and the lovely Elounda. We hope to be able come back soon!

Le logement correspond à la description, il était très bien, spacieux, bien équipé, très confortable. Il y avait même du café et des pot de confiture ce qui était très pratique pour le petit déjeuner. Le jacuzzi était très bien, bonne ambiance avec les lumières. L’emplacement est super, nous étions à 2min à pied de la plage qui est très joli. Merci à Maria pour son accueil !

Wir haben uns in diesem Haus acht Tage lang sehr wohl gefühlt, auf der gut verschatteten Terrasse eine erholsame Zeit bis tief in die Nacht hinein verbracht. Ioanna hat uns mit verschiedenen Köstlichkeiten überrascht, liebevoll und immer erreichbar. Gerne kommen wir wieder, um diese schöne Aussicht zu genießen.
Home in Ferma
5 out of 5 average rating, 26 reviewsGold Sea Place
Im Golden Sea Place haben wir genau die Ruhe und Entspannung gefunden, die wir gebraucht haben. Sehr gemütliche und helle Unterkunft mit herrlichem Blick über die Bucht. Liegestühle auf der Terrasse in der Sonne oder im Schatten eines Olivenbaums. Jederzeit kann man über ein paar Stufen zum privaten, felsigen Strand gelangen und sich ins klare, türkisfarbene Wasser werfen. Manolis, der Nachbar, der sich vor Ort um das Haus kümmert, hat uns toll umsorgt und war immer erreichbar. Seinen Hund haben wir auch sehr ins Herz geschlossen. Die Nachbarn in den umliegenden Gärten waren auch alle sehr gastfreundlich. Wir haben uns sehr wohlgefühlt. Für die Einfahrt von der Straße zum Haus ist ein etwas höher liegendes Auto sehr zu empfehlen (wie im übrigen auch für viele Straßen im Südosten Kretas).

We loved Villa Vriko, especially the rooftop deck with a view of the sea. Great for a family of four with two kids that love to play on the beach. Thank you!
