Vacation rentals with outdoor seating in Platanias

Very good place to stay for visits and hikes throughout the West of Crete. Pleasant accommodation and very nice private outdoor space, very quiet and close to the sea (port, beach) and nature. For example, we see and hear the goats going down the hill in the morning. Great restaurants and small supermarket nearby.

The hosts were incredibly kind and welcoming. The place was super clean and everything well maintained. Just felt right at home with an amazing view, great beds and a beautiful atmosphere. Highly recommend!

Nikos place is located near the Venetian harbour and old town with its beautiful buildings, excellent restaurants and plentiful shops and also within a short walk of a nice beach. The bedrooms are large, all ensuite, and furnished in keeping with the period of the house. The flat is furnished with everything you need, and more. It is located in a quiet street but a new hotel is being built nearby so there is some construction work noise that starts at 7am but not a problem unless you sleep in.

Sea Star is without a doubt one of the most amazing airbnbs we have ever stayed in !! Perched above the Mediterranean Sea with incredible views and the sound of the gently lapping waves, it invites you to forget the world, relax and enjoy the peace. Swimming and snorkeling out the front in the crystal clear water, was a highlight. It is small but ideal for 3 people. It has a FULLY equipped kitchen and a multitude of beautifully and thoughtfully landscaped outdoor spaces- for dining, a bbq, laying in a hammock or reading a book. It is immaculately clean and every detail for enhancing their guests stay has been considered, including beach towels, water boots, goggles, snorkels & flippers. Welcome gifts from Manolis and his Mother exceeded our expectations. Manolis is an engaged host, generous and interesting. We appreciated hearing the story of his house and its reinvention. This is a special place to experience Crete and Cretan hospitality. We could have stayed here FOREVER !!

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!

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!!

We had a great stay in this special and enchanting house. It is a restored olive mill that ?is made for hosting with all the essentials. It is located in the center of the village and very easily accessible. I wish we had more days. Sure will be back again! Thank you so much for hosting!!!

Absolutely loved this airbnb. Small deck overlooking the Chania Bay lighthouse and all the restaurants surrounding the bay. Airbnb at end and had a great restaurant (with blue chairs) that had great food. Beds were comfortable and back bedroom was very quiet as well. The owner met us at check-in and explained everything. Top deck was very nice to sit, my husband actually pulled out his laptop and worked on the table for awhile. He was in heaven. But we enjoyed sitting on small deck off living space too. Husband and myself w our two young adult children loved that we were so close to everything. Do not hesitate to book this airbnb.

Alkis was an amazing host and super responsive. He brought us coffee and was very attentive to our needs! 10/10 stars

Villa Marcella's apartments are a perfect accomodation for two people for a holiday stay. The whole place is clean and organised, with basic kitchen amenities that enable cooking of simple meals and a comfy bed. Frank is a great and very relaxed guy, easy to reach and happy to give recommendations regarding things to do in Crete as well as restaurants nearby. He's very happy to wash your clothes for a small fee when needed. Overall we've been very satisfied with our stay :)

Dear Suvi and Andreas We were really very happy in your apartment and we have spent wonderful days on Crete! :-) Thank you so much! We loved in particular the site of the flat: close to a very lively square frequented by locals with very nice restaurants. That was just great! We enjoyed it a lot! We wish you all the best! Regine and Frank

We had a 1 week stay and it was great Form the moment we arrived till the moment we left . We felt almost at home , the staff is very friendly and gave us plenty of recommendations where we can eat , beaches and much more . The inner garden is beautiful whit plenty of flowers and very clean. The back garden has a nice pool area and a shaded parking area . The accommodation is perfect for a small family or for couples.

A previous comment said that we felt like at home, And it's completely true Very cocooning apartment Easy to access and close to everything! A very pleasant terrace in the evening after a long walk. very well maintained A very comfortable bed, There is everything for a long stay. I highly recommend.

Very clean and nice place with awesome view! i would 100% recomend it and i will be coming back.

A super nice apartment for a holiday in Crete! The view on the huge terrace is unique, here it lets you relax well. Almyrida can be reached on foot in 8 minutes, but the footpath is a bit steep. The apartment has an assigned parking space right in front. Everything is great, happy to come again!

Great apartment in the heart of Chania. The apartment is very spacious, the terrace has a magnificent view of the mountains, which is perfect for breakfasts and aperitifs. We had a very good communication with Tim, who ensures that everything is for his guests. We had no trouble parking on the street.

Loved our stay here! The location is great. There is a view of the water and it’s very close walking distance to old town. Parking was really very close. It was usually pretty full, but we always found a spot.

Beautiful apartment with wonderful hosts. Anastasia and John were very welcoming and provided a lovely welcome basket alongside their book of extensive local recommendations. They were helpful with any questions we had and checked in to see if we needed anything during our stay. The location is wonderful--close to the sea, just a 15-20 minute walk to the harbor, but a quiet oasis away from the town's activity when you want a break. The patio and comfy bed were such a treat, as was the kitchen for preparing some of our meals. We stayed here over 2 weeks and loved it. If you are in town on a Saturday, go to the farmers market and stay for lunch in one of the cafes! Thank you, Anastasia and John! We didn't want to leave.

This Airbnb is just like the photos and worth the distance from Old Town (about 0.4 miles). The terrace wraps around the entire flat and has many seating options in sunshine and in shade. It’s surrounded by beautiful, well-cared for plants with a stunning view of the Sea of Crete and of Chania itself. You can take the stairs or there is an elevator. The hostess left some local treats for us as well as a lovely bouquet of flowers! Absolutely top notch! There is also air conditioning if the fresh air is too warm. The hostess was friendly and responsive. This was the best of 4 Airbnb’s we stayed in throughout Europe. The only thing to note is that the electricity is only on when the card is in the holder by the door. So, if you leave with the dryer or dishwasher running or charging devices, they will pause until you return.

We had an amazing stay at Gabriella's! The airbnb was stocked with everything we needed and more. She has thought of it all. We were welcomed with a friendly face, fresh fruit, juice, and water. Gabriella had the best recommendations. Very easy to communicate with and quick to respond. The photos were accurate with the listing. The beds were comfortable. Jacuzzi was tended to daily. Very relaxing patio area. zero complaints. 10/10 would recommend!

Gorgeous apartment in a great location. Nikos was very flexible and friendly in his communication. Fantastic views and comfortable setting.

5 things we loved 🥰 : 1. The proximity to the sea: going to the beach around the corner and go for a swim 2. The huge terrasse with the table where we had breakfast and yoga every morning outside 3. The very well equipped and cosy apartment from hair dryer to toaster, from books to jazz CD's 4. The proximity to everything ; the town via multiple ways along the coastal path. 5. The warm welcome from Christina Plus the ease to park the car at the end of the street We recommend this apartment and would love to come back

We really enjoyed our stay at Alexandros apartment . The garden is amazing & the host is professional & friendly . Alexandros was very helpful with everything we asked . The swimming pool is big & the garden furniture is very cozy . The appartement itself is very functional & only 10/15 mins drive from the old city . We highly recommend it .

The apartment was perfect for our stay – we felt very comfortable. Especially the roof terrace was a real highlight with great views and plenty of space to relax in. The hosts were very friendly, helpful and available at all times. Everything was clean, well equipped and just like in the description. Shopping and restaurants are in walking distance. We would come back back. Thank you Anna and Manos!
