Holiday rentals in Aktounta

We had a truly wonderful stay at Vasilis’ stone house. Nestled in nature and surrounded by an olive grove, it’s the perfect place to disconnect and relax. Every morning we woke up to the sounds of cicadas, birds and a distant sheep herd, a magical experience. The terrace is sheltered from the wind and even when the weather gets a bit cooler, it’s still warm enough to spend plenty of time outside in the hammocks and deck chairs. The house is beautifully secluded in an area completely untouched by mass tourism, which we really appreciated. Wi-fi still works well if needed. Within a 15–20 minute drive, you’ll find lovely beaches with both sand and stones. The house itself is warm, not damp at all, and we slept comfortably, there were plenty of blankets and towels. When it is very windy outside, some earplugs might be useful, but most nights were very calm. Communication with Vasilis was excellent, he was very reliable, responded quickly, uncomplicated check in/out. Highly recommended!

This is a cool, stylish and comfortable apartment. The mattress is good and the shower is hot. It is a short stroll from the village centre which makes it a peaceful spot at night, but very convenient for the shops and restaurants. We were greeted so warmly by Eleni, who showed us where everything was and, as other guests have mentioned, brought us homemade treats during our stay. If returning to Spili we would certainly hope to stay here.

I will start by saying this that the instructions and information that Pavlos gave were excellent and he was an excellent host. The house was excellent, decorated beautifully and equipped with everything we needed and with quality items. The balcony is excellent with its sea and Mountain views catching the sunset over a nearby church and olive grove was very atmospheric. Kerames is a great tradition small village in the hills and still mainly occupied by local people. The 2 tavernas in the centre offer great traditional food at a very reasonable price. The maze of picturesque alleyways gives Kerames a very traditional feel. In the area of the house are many excellent beaches. The famous Preveli and trio Petra beaches are close by and a little further away are the beaches of Plakias Damnoni , Ammoudi, Kalypso and many more. Plakias and Agia Galini are both great days out and have good supermarkets. This house was excellent, the location was excellent get a car to explore 👍

Check in went smoothly and the place was very clean, everything looked like in the pictures! Communication was great and I can definitely recommend staying here!:)

I highly recommend the apartment of Ginter and Anet to anyone who wants to live in a renovated old Cretan house. The apartment has all the necessary amenities (even more) and from the terrace there is a beautiful view of the beaches of Ligres and Triopetra. Also the village of Kerames where the apartment is located is a typical quiet peaceful and charming place. Local Kafeino is worth recommending where in addition to coffee you can eat typical homemade Cretan food. Once again we recommend the apartment with all our hearts. Best regards Aneta and Tomek 🌞

No other words than full satisfaction for the host the apartment and the village.. If I had money I would surely buy a house there. it is half way from the city of rethymo and the fabulous coast nearby. in 20 minutes you are at the Caribbean sea. then you go back to Spili and enjoy the fresh air and the lively athmosohere and friendly. To be a small village Spili is incredibly alive. very good and cheap restaurants at foot distance. the very beautiful fountain just downstaira. fancy a walk? an easy 1.h hiking pathway to keep you feet accessible from behind the fountain. ah....the host gives you a list of VERY GOOD suggestions of places which we followed entirely and made our trip more valuable than otherwise.

Beautiful location in the heart of Crete - easy to get anywhere on ghe island from here. Very quiet and private small mountain village, very comfortable homw that was very clean and perfectly furnished. Stavros was an amazing host , very attentive (but not interruptive), brought us multiple local delights & fresh produce. This is a fantastic place to comfoortanly relax without being too far away from all of the action on the beaches. Highly recommend!

Georg welcomed us very well to his home, with very good tips to make the most of the place. The view from the accommodation is incredible, and the place is really quiet and peaceful — perfect for resting. The accommodation was very clean, and we really appreciated the little attention of the cake on our departure, thank you again! Small point to note: access is via winding roads, so it is better to arrive by day. Thanks a lot for a great stay!
