Wow, Design Apartment, steps from town centre

MitchelRating, 5 stars1 month ago
This is a marvelous, comfortable and clean apartment with everything in working order and matching the posted photos. A very comfortable place to stay. The location is great, in the center of the old city and convenient for supermarket shopping, some fantastic restaurants (several were recommended by the host) and transportation. The area is safe, quiet and charming. The host was very responsive and proactive, and he made check-in and check-out easy. The terrace of the apartment is a real bonus. It's spacious and has a lovely view. One of the best AirBnBs I've stayed in.

Grey House

StephanieRating, 5 stars7 months ago
We stayed in Zoi's apartment for 1 week. She was always available and always responded to messages. When we arrived late at night, she had put pizzas and ice cream in the freezer for us. For our breakfast, there was also everything we needed! The apartment has direct access to the beach and the old town of Rethymno is a 20/25-minute walk. Really a great place to stay with ocean views 🥰 always happy to come back!!

Aptenia, beach apartment

MelanieRating, 5 stars47 months ago
We spent a week in George's apartment with a group of four friends. The apartment is located in a perfect setting to explore the island of Crete. However, as it is located on a beautiful beach and also offers a pool as well as a number of other leisure opportunities (e.g. table tennis, beach volleyball court), we barely felt the need to leave the place. The apartment itself was super clean and perfectly equipped for self-catering. In the evenings, we enjoyed wonderful sunsets from the spacious balcony in front of a beautiful sea and mountain backdrop. We often completed our evenings by visiting one of the three tavernas in walking distance offering authentic and affordable Greek cuisine with a panoramic view of the beach. During our stay, George was personally available for any kind of questions at any time. We were also deeply impressed by George's hospitality and his obliging manner. Once again, thank you very much George for the wonderful time. We will definitely come back as soon as we go to Crete again!

Silver Sea Family House

ElizabethRating, 5 stars7 months ago
What an amazing place! Ioannis has thought about everything you could ever need and it is there!! Every thing was immaculate, beautiful white linen, beach towels, the best kitchen ever. Ioannis very thoughtfully had provided large bottles of water and fresh fruit in the fridge which I thought was wonderful. We had a problem on arrival which was sorted so quickly, thank you Ioannis! We have been to many Airb&bs and this was the best. So near the sea and fantastic restaurants, i miss the wonderful food! Thank you so much for our wonderful stay

Dejablu (Heraklion)

Oleg & MariaRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
We really enjoyed our stay. Harry was very responsive and friendly. The house was really nice, just as described, and had everything we needed. The view is beautiful—if you wake up early, you can see the sun rise right in the center of the big window and watch it move all the way up. The location is good. We did hear some highway noise, and there was a friendly group of dogs that barked in the morning. But at least you could pet them they were sweet. The hot tub was nice. Although we didn’t use it as much as we thought we would. It’s on the roof, and since the house has a central spiral staircase, you need to come down it to get back inside. That made it a bit tricky with wet feet and the April nights were a bit too chilly to stay on the roof for too long after the tub. But we really enjoyed using the BBQ. Overall, we had a great time. Harry’s hospitality was top notch.

Seaside, relaxing family house with playground!

AhmedRating, 5 stars6 months ago
We had a fantastic stay at Seaside Villa Lavrys. The villa itself is spacious, well-maintained, and located in a peaceful area with a lovely view. It’s a perfect spot for a relaxing getaway, but do keep in mind that you’ll need a car to get around as the location is a bit remote. Taxi transportation from Chania costs around €30. What truly made our experience special was our host, Alex. From the moment we booked, Alex was incredibly responsive and attentive, always available to answer any questions we had. He went out of his way to ensure we were comfortable throughout our stay, offering great local tips and assistance whenever needed. His kindness and willingness to help made a huge difference in our trip. Alex’s family was also very warm and welcoming, making us feel right at home. We would highly recommend this villa to anyone looking for a peaceful, family-friendly stay in Crete, and Alex’s hospitality made it even better.

Sea and Sun Marathoula House! Beachfront,Sea View!

AaronRating, 5 stars6 months ago
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

Afratias - private house at the beach

BoeserRating, 5 stars7 months ago
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.

In addition, there is everything you need to live and there is even a small bottle of Raki in the fridge to welcome you. We will come back here again!! Brigitte and Peter

Zen Townhouse - Infinity Seaview

RebeccaRating, 5 stars5 months ago
The apartment is perfectly located to explore the island, you are in the center of the island, immediately on the highway (recommendation: before moving in, be sure to practice driving backwards to the mountain!!) and yet the apartment is very quiet and has a great view of the sea. Especially the small balcony directly above the sea appealed to us, even if it might be a little too hot/not shaded in summer. Here you can also quickly make friends with the 4 cats, who occasionally also drive the neighbor dog to whiteness. Those who are afraid of cats should prefer to look for another apartment with these attached specimens, cat lovers will love it. Marianna's mother is a good soul, bringing eggs from the in-house chickens as well as fresh fruit and vegetables. All in all for us the perfect place to combine exploring the island with relaxation.
