Family-friendly vacation rentals in Xeropotamos

Tasos est un hôte extrêmement accueillant. À notre arrivée tardive, nous avons trouvé un frigo et un congélateur généreusement garni. Des fruits, des confitures, des biscottes et des boissons fraîches et chaudes nous attendaient. Et Tasos a été absolument adorable pour nous faciliter le séjour. Nous lui en sommes très reconnaissants. Son appartement est très agréable , le jacuzzi et la vue magnifique en font une perle rare. Nous recommandons vivement cette location, encore plus appréciée grâce aux nombreux détails auxquels Tasos a pensé.

We had a wonderful stay here. Very peaceful. Often all you will hear are the bells clanging from the local goats. Delicious food at the onsite taverna. Beautiful lodge, with special touches such as a bottle of wine waiting for us to congratulate us on our wedding. Of note, this villa is very high up in the mountains. If you're flying into heraklian airport that evening, it's a long and dark drive up some very narrow and winding roads, so you may want to make the drive in the daytime. It's about an hour drive up/down the mountain to any other town so be prepared to drive. But the scenery is beautiful...majestic mountains.

An amazing house with a very helpful and responsive host. Would stay again.

We had a lovely stay at the villa. It was spacious and clean and the garden and pool were great. Our toddler loved the resident cats too! We were happy with the location as it is around a 10–15 minute drive to plenty of beaches and small towns and around 1 hour to Heraklion where there are quite a few things for families with young children to do. Vaso and her family were very welcoming, we had freshly cooked food on arrival, oranges from the garden given by her dad, and we were even invited to try some BBQ food with her family on Easter Sunday. Vaso really went out of her way to make us feel welcome and we’d definitely recommend staying at her place.

We had a wonderful time at the Lilium villa. Our host, Mrs. Helena received us though our arrival was very late. She had stocked the place with a lot of goodies. The day we arrived there was a dust / reason storm and the whole place was covered in mud. They cleaned everything including the pool first thing in the morning. They even cleaned up the rental car we came in. The villa itself is as described in the listing. We had everything we needed. It is about a mile from Perama, where there are a few restaurants and grocery stores. I would highly recommend Lilium villa to anyone who wishes to have a fun vacation in Create.

Stella and her family was friendly and very helpful while we were staying at her families beautiful villa. The villa is stunning and clean. It has all you need while you stay at the villa. Would highly recommend staying at this accommodation. Likely to return in the future! The peacocks add to this beautiful location looking over the mountains of Crete.

Stella's Home was the most positive Airbnb experience I've ever had (and I've had some really lovely ones). The place is beautiful and the views are some of the best I've ever seen with the beach being only a 6 minute walk away. Stella was also an exceptional host. She stocked the fridge with some complementary groceries which made for a really positive start to our trip, especially after a day of traveling. It was also one of the most thoughtful things a host has done for one of my stays. Stella was also very communicative, checking in to make sure everything was going well for us and if we needed anything. The hot tub was amazing, the house was spotless and comfortable, the description of the space completely accurate. 5 days was not enough for us here and if I ever make it back to Crete, I will definitely be staying here again. Highly recommend!

Couldn’t have asked for a better stay. Manos was friendly, helpful, and responded fast if anything came up. He also gave incredible local recommendations. The apartment was clean, with all the necessary amenities. Thank you Manos!

The is a family house, simple, pleasent and authentic. The natural surroundings are amazing. The silence is incredible. Meni and Andreas, the owners, are very nice people and we felt the love they invested in every detail. Thanks 🙏

It was absolutely amazing. Beautiful views from veranda. Gorgeously traditional house. A step away from a lovely beach. It was up a short, steep hill, perfect for us but might not be for everyone.

We had a fantastic week at Harry‘s place. While the location is a bit remote, supermarkets and a restaurant are still within walking distance. For anything else, we had a rental car. The accommodation is excellently equipped. We were 7 people and more than enough dishes in the kitchen. We also made great use of the outdoor grill and pizza oven. Both the house and the outdoor areas are well-maintained, with someone coming every other day to clean the pool and tend the garden. I can definitely recommend this place to anyone!

la villa est très belle et fonctionnelle. la vue sur la mer est à couper le souffle. c'est un petit émerveillement chaque matin.

Stella's place was a lovely stay! With mountain views and the beach 5 minutes away, it was a peaceful and scenic stay. The space was clean and comfortable and Stella was so communicative! It was so convenient that she lived nearby as she was able to address any issues very quickly. A quick walk to Analipsi which is an adorable little town with markets and restaurants (definitely more things open during the on season, but still charming). Would definitely recommend a stay here!

We had an absolutely fantastic stay at Manoli’s! The house was stunning, nestled in a beautiful village that made our two-night stay even more special. The property was fully equipped with everything we needed, making it feel like a home away from home. The host was excellent, maintaining great communication. We also loved the nearby restaurant, which was superb and added to the overall experience. We truly had a great time and would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a relaxing getaway!

Mai 2025, 10 Nächte Aufenthalt zu dritt (2 Erwachsene, 1 Kleinkind). Die Villa ist wirklich traumhaft. Wunderschöner Blick aufs Meer und die Bucht. Sie bietet sehr viel Platz auch für mehr Personen (2 Paare, 4-6 Freunde, 2 Familien) und für längere Aufenthalte (Stauraum, Schränke und Regale, etc.). Die Ausstattung entspricht der Beschreibung und bietet, auch in der Küche, alles was man brauchen kann. Unser Highlight war die überdachte Terrasse. Unser Flug wurde kurzfristig vorverlegt. Ein deutlich früherer Check-In war in unserem Fall überhaupt kein Problem. Stelios ist ein sehr freundlicher, hilfsbereiter und engagierter Gastgeber. Wir empfehlen Ihn und seine Villa ohne Einschränkung weiter. Kleine Einschränkung: die Unterkunft ist etwas ab vom Schuss bzw. die Region ist etwas zersiedelt (hauptsächlich wegen der Geographie des Geländes). Ohne eigenes Auto wird es etwas schwierig unserer Meinung nach. Einen kostenfreien Parkplatz direkt am Haus gibt es aber.

Insgesamt sehr gut, uneingeschränkt zu empfehlen vor allem für Familien mit Kindern allen Alters. Wir waren mit vier Kindern zwischen 1-15 Jahren im Februar eine Woche dort. Das ist super, bis auf das Bad gut heizbar, aber warmes Wasser ausreichend da auch für mehrere Duschen nacheinander. Super Kommunikation mit Manolis, sehr hilfreich und prompt, fühlten uns sehr als Gäste willkommen. Sein Bruder erwartete uns an der Hauptstraße und zeigte uns den Weg durch die wunderschönen Olivenhaine. Auto ist sinnvoll, theoretisch wäre es auch mit Bus und 10 Minuten Laufen erreichbar, sehr schöner Strand 15-20 min, paar Minuten mit Auto. Ausstattung der Hauses perfekt, die Fotos untertreiben eher. Zahlreiche Mücken haben uns eine unangenehme Überraschung bereitet, aber das ist wahrscheinlich für Februar auf Kreta normal. Das Wetter war sehr variabel: innerhalb einer Woche im Meer gebadet und Schneeschauer. Wir fanden es super.

Wer einen ruhigen Ort zum abschalten sucht, ist hier absolut richtig! Der Ausblick von der Unterkunft über die Weinberge und Olivenhaine ist atemberaubend schön und das erste, auf das ich mich morgens gefreut habe. Es gibt nichts, was dich hier stört! Die Unterkunft ist hochwertig ausgestattet, sehr sauber, hat eine lautlose Klimaanlage in jedem Wohnraum, tolle Betten - wirklich absolut toll!! Es gibt 2 kleine Supermärkte und soweit ich sehen konnte 2 Gaststätten und ein Café in direkter Umgebung des Hauses. Wir selbst waren im Ort abends nur 1 Mal essen und sind ansonsten immer mit dem Mietwagen unterwegs gewesen, weil wir dort mehr Sehenswertes für uns fanden. Einen Mietwagen würde ich auch dringend empfehlen um mobil zu sein. Vielen Dank, Christina, für diesen schönen Urlaub in deinem tollen Haus! ❤️

We werden aangenaam verrast door het huis. Mooie ruimtes zowel buiten als binnen. Echt een aanrader. Ook voor onze peuter was alles voorzien. Het zwembad was aan de frisse kant maar de weken voordien was het niet erg warm geweest. Kleine tip aan de verhuurder: extra keukenmateriaal mag wel (meer handdoeken, lookpers, onderleggers voor de tafel, kaarsenpotjes, ...) Het was een fijne vakantie en we werden verwend door een lokaal cateringbedrijfje dat ons door Audrey werd aangeraden.

We hebben een heerlijke tijd in Malia gehad. Het zwembad op het dak was echt heerlijk.

Excellent location, and the villa was very spacious and quiet. Maria was excellent with great recommendations and always available to help. :)

on a passé une très belle semaine chez Eva appartement, Eva est très sympat et elle nous a bien conseillé pour visiter crete je recommande

Lovely villa and garden in a quiet spot. Kostas and Elizabeth were very approachable and responded quickly to any queries. As others have said, the only slight draw back is the approach to the villa down a very narrow drive with a right angled turn which took some manoeuvring even in our smallish car. We got used to it and ultimately this didn't spoil our enjoyment of this beautiful property.

Great family-run place in Crete. The food at the taverna is AMAZING, and there’s always a daily special which was the highlight of the menu. Huge apartment, ocean views, easy access to drive to several beaches in the area.

Hôte très agréable et serviable. Maison et piscine chauffée conformes aux attentes.
