Villa Chara 3 bedroom unique design Villa
It was absolutely perfect. We had contact via WhatsApp before arrival, so it was no problem at all to get to the accommodation. The house is a dream, 25 minutes from the airport, the nearest tavern is 5 minutes away and highly recommended. Everything was perfectly clean. It was even wiped once during our stay and new towels were also provided. Everything you need is there, even a basic supply of food, it would satisfy the first hunger. There is absolutely nothing negative to report, we would love to come back.

Askianos II Lux Villa - The Ultimate Elegant Oasis
We had a wonderful stay at Kitsa’s place. The accommodation was spotlessly clean, very well-equipped, and provided everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Communication with Kitsa was excellent – she was always helpful, quick to respond, and made sure we had everything we needed while also being very respectful of our privacy, which we truly appreciated. We felt completely at ease throughout our time there and would gladly return. Highly recommended!

Omnia Villa I - Heated* pool & stunning seaview!
Beautiful villa and pool (the water was a lovely temperature, as we paid for it to be heated). Housekeeping half way through the week was really nice. Local places to eat were great and it was very easy getting taxis into town from the cafe at the top of the hill for around €12.

Amazing Seaview at Villa w/Private Pool near Beach
Absolutely amazing place. The view is breathtaking, you can’t get enough of it and there are two large terraces to enjoy it from. The swimming pool is a nice touch too, small but the same time big enough to cool down and sunbathe next to it if you don’t feel like going to the beach. Super easy and friendly interactions with Manos and the rest of the team. Warm welcome and attention all the way through the stay. There were a lot of little, but important details that we really appreciated, such as: bottled water, some juices and fruits that were waiting for us in the fridge, as well as some local snacks and olive oil. On my birthday, a lovely greeting card and a bottle of Ouzo appeared in our villa which was also an unexpected but an excellent gesture. Everyone was really friendly and we felt truly welcomed. Many thanks to all! Although it’s only 3.5 km away from The center of Plakias, I’d definitely recommend hiring a car, as the villa is up on the hill, hence the stunning view.

PhantΩm Villas, Villa Kateena (heated pool)
Breathtaking view! The house is brand new, it corresponds exactly to the pictures shown. The pool is very large & during the day there is a perfect mix of sunny and shady spots. There are many small taverns nearby, you never had to drive far. Very clear recommendation for this villa, it is perfect & we would love to come back anytime!

Vertigo Stone Villa with private pool
The house has been fully redecorated to a high modern day standard. It's spacious and very private, also thanks to the walled inner garden with swimming pool, and possibilities to park two cars behind an electronically operated gate. The house is clean and the beds very comfortable. Also ideal when traveling with two couples of which one has children, because one bedroom has a separate front door that is accessible from the garden (under the roof top terrace). A very nice local restaurant and a supermarket are within walking distance. I highly recommend staying here!

Villa Castellum with hammam and free heated pool
Lovely villa that completely exceeded our expectations. We stayed here with 2 families (4 adults and 4 children). We were met by a super enthusiastic host who explained everything clearly and welcomed us with some typical Greek local products. The house is equipped with all comforts. Large bedrooms with their own bathrooms and hammam. Spacious kitchen equipped with all the necessary kitchen appliances (including prof. coffee machine) The icing on the cake was the lovely outdoor area with (heated) pool, sitting area, dining area, bbq and views of the Agia Galini bay and surroundings. We stayed here at the beginning of spring and we were very happy with our decision to opt for a house where the pool was heated. From this location we made a trip to Matala and the palm beach of Preveli. We might have been able to do more, but didn't get the kids out of the pool😁. For anyone who is still in doubt: don't, just book!

Giakoumakis Luxury-Private Villa! Heated pool
Good bits. The villa was outstanding, as described & the photo's don't lie! Pool is amazing as are the views. The villa & grounds spotlessly clean & spacious. Plenty of outdoor furniture. Nikos provided a lovely welcome pack, inc Oat milk as requested. He also gave us some good recommendations for ordering in (efoods app was great & better than trying to use the oven & utensils). The beds were very comfortable. We had a problem with the jacuzzi, but Nikos's father was there to sort it out within the hour! Can't fault the service or friendliness. We were a family party of 10 with an age range of 17 to 61. Not so good bits. Not enough plug sockets in the bedrooms & no window covering on the upstairs master bathroom. The cats! They drive you mad, they meow constantly & try to get indoors, you can't leave the doors open (problem when half the party love them & feed them!!! but the other half don't like cats). Taxi's expensive. Overall, would thoroughly recommend & return.

Seafront 5 Bedroom Villa With Pool, Sauna
A Slice of Paradise – Five Stars All Around! We had the most incredible time staying at this large and stunning villa in the Loutraki/Chania area. The property is nothing short of breathtaking, with lush, beautifully maintained gardens and crystal-clear water right at your doorstep. The direct beach access was a dream—so easy and convenient—and we spent countless hours floating in the calm sea and enjoying the serene, quiet atmosphere. The views from every direction were spectacular, making it hard to leave the villa! The villa itself is exquisite, with a spacious, well-designed area for cooking and relaxing. It’s the perfect blend of luxury and comfort. Demetrios, our host, went above and beyond, offering incredible hospitality and even surprising me with a birthday cake, which made our stay all the more special. If you’re looking for a tranquil, beautiful retreat this is the place!

Luxury Villa Allure
Absolutely stunning place. Sparkling clean, very well equipped, beautiful views, short distance to sites, beaches etc. Simply an amazing experience. All you need for a luxurious holiday in the best wine region in Greece!

Luxury Villa Eureka
Lovely place for a larger group. Four bedrooms with their own bathrooms and small terraces also allowed for private time. Quiet location with amazing views. Several restaurants and two well-equipped grocery stores in walking distance. The kitchen had good equipment, which was suitable for cooking, both indoors and outdoors in the nice outdoor kitchen. The heated infinity pool offered both swimming and water activities. Lovely large terrace with sun loungers, sofa and parasols allowed for common chill. Also the playing field attracted to board games. The villa's location on a steep hillside allows for training. Recommend renting a car or scooters to get to different places. The host was on hand and reachable on short notice. Highly recommend Villa Eureka and would love to come there again.

Villa Rodea
We were eight women who spent a week at Villa Rodea. Had an amazing time, the view is wonderful and we had an uncomplicated care by the Komos team. We'll be back.

Skyline Iconic Villa
The villa is really nice! Me and my friends had a great time spending time there, swimming in the pool and having a big bbq. Thanks a lot for the stay

Rethymnian Gem Luxury Villa
We had a wonderful stay at this peaceful and private villa with a truly spectacular ocean view. The perfect setup for our extended family (6 adults and 2 small children), offering plenty of space for everyone to relax and enjoy. The bedrooms were comfortable with en suite bathrooms. Kitchen was well equipped with everything we needed to cook at home. The kids especially loved the pool and all the toys available. We enjoyed local meals at Maxis Yard (a charming spot in the nearby village with pottery and homemade food) and Fisalida, which has a stunning ocean view. Both within walking distance. Grocery shopping was easy with both Lidl and the village shops close by. Our host went above and beyond—meeting us for check-in during Easter holiday and even doing grocery shopping for us beforehand as everything was closed. He surprised us with homemade dinner of delicious moussaka and Greek salad, which made us feel so welcomed. We left feeling relaxed and very tempted to return one day.

Near to Chania City & Beach / Private Heated Pool
Amazing stay! Views from the mountainside are incredible to wake up to every morning including sunrise and sunset. The view from the infinity pool was fantastic and had toys for children. The host Mr. George was always accommodating and even brought us eggs one morning :) would highly recommend

Villa Nefelia Infinity Heated Pool Amazing View
Wbu is a fantastic host and the villa is simply stunning. Wish we had more time there. Highly recommend!

Villa Amaranthus, Private Pool, Jacuzzi &mini Golf
Wonderful villa in great location for family Holliday. Facilities were great and as described. The garden is beautiful and adds to the feeling of the outside space. Good shade and sun spots in the garden at all times of day. We had a lovely time exploring the local area as well as going further afield to explore Create to the full. Lots of lovely walks possible from the villa and the local beaches perfect for low key family beach safe for kids. The bedrooms were all lovely especially the master beadroom with beautiful balcony. Host was fantastic at communication and helped us with any questions we had responding promptly and efficiently to any difficulties. Would highly recommend.

Beautiful villa in Crete with pool and sea view
The villa is a most beautiful place for a relaxed family vacation. Quiet, spacious and with all the amenities for a relaxed stay. The next town is nearby, only a few minutes away by car. The local support is excellent, very friendly, very responsive and alert. All in all, a very recommendable place.

The Natural view Villa with private pool
A big thank you, everything was perfect: the place, the view, the calm, the host, the kitchen, the bedding, everything. Honestly, the first time an experience is impeccable from start to finish with 0 things to repeat. Thank you 🇬🇷

Olive dream Villa - Gazi Heraklion - Private Pool
Excellent location, and the villa was very spacious and quiet. Maria was excellent with great recommendations and always available to help. :)

Premium Villa with 72 sqm Heated Pool in Nature
The house is simply gorgeous. Our family had a wonderful Christmas holiday here. The host was very generous with items in the refrigerator and a well stocked kitchen. Lots of recommendations of places to eat in the area. Michael met us in the driveway upon arrival and showed us everything in the house, that was very kind. Especially loved access to the washer and dryer because we were traveling with kids. It was too cold to use the pool, but if you are here when it is warm, it would be such delight.

Sueno Villas, Del Mar Villa, dream above the sea!
I can’t thank Antonio, Yiannis & the Sueno team for such a great stay. Nothing was too much to ask and they were all available to help throughout my short stay. The villa is stunning with lots of lovely touches such as robe, slippers, shampoo & conditioner and even a welcome hamper! Thanks again for a wonderful stay and for being amazing hosts.

Villa Kedria with a panoramic ocean view
We stayed as a family of four for a week. The villa consisted a main floor with a modern, clean and well equipped kitchen, a comfortable sitting/dining room with lovely views over souda bay and towards chania. A large jacuzzi bath was also off the sitting area. The rest of this floor was three bedrooms and two bathrooms, one with a shower/ tub combo and the other a wetroom style. A further bedroom/ shower room was on the floor below via an outside staircase as well as a well equiped gym. The outside area was expansive and enough for our boys to run around. The villa also had a number of indoor and outdoor games for the boys to enjoy. But a lot of our time was spent in the heated pool! Overall, we had a thoroughly enjoyable stay. The villa was very clean, comfortable with stunning hilltop views. The location was close to the airport, local resturants and shops and we had food delivered to us a number of times. A special point was the kindness and helpfulness of our hosts, thank you!

Aquila Villa, breathtaking view, big heated pool
Our family had a wonderful time at the villa. Before we even got there, Chania Rentals were very helpful and answered all my questions. Artemis was there to greet us on arrival, despite the very late hour after our flight, and was happy to talk us through everything. We had a few small problems with the villa during our stay but Artemis was so prompt and helpful to come out straight away to sort everything. The stunning views from the villa, the peace and quiet, the gorgeous pool which we heated for the week (definitely worth the extra money in April as it made the pool warm enough to enjoy!), the beautiful decor...our family loved it all. Aquilla Villa will be our family's fondest memory of the holiday :-)!
