Holiday rentals in Ampelouzos

We had an incredible time at Villa Kamelia. It is a beautiful, spacious house, decorated with many flowers and plants and it had everything we might have needed. Several lovely beaches are within half an hour's drive. Supermarkets, gas stations, and restaurants are in the next town over. The rooftop terrace has a panoramic view of the countryside and the sea. There are many tracks and hiking paths in the nearby mountains. Vagelio and Katerina made sure we had everything we needed and went above and beyond to make us feel at home, including welcoming us personally and leaving some food and drinks for us in the fridge. We highly recommend staying here.

Words cannot describe enough the wonderful time we had staying here. We stayed in 2 other places in our visit to Crete as this was by far the best and our favourite! The village is beautiful and everyone is so friendly and helpful. The restaurant has amazing food which is cooked by Georgious (who is a great chef!) and the local cafe also has amazing food (you have to try Lefki’s Galaktoboureko it’s divine!) The atmosphere of the whole village is perfect. The surroundings are serene and beautiful and watching the sunset behind the mountains is a magical experience. Maria is one of the kindest, gentlest and warmest people you could ever meet and she really made our holiday one we will never forget. She recommended many places to visit and things to do which were amazing and we would not have found them without her! We cannot thank her enough for everything she did for us and the great evenings we had chatting under the stars by the mountain. We will be back very soon to visit!

Great accommodation...large and everything more than sufficient in the kitchen. To feel good!

Afroditi sees you not only as a guest, but also as a friend. We were allowed to help ourselves to their own home-grown tomatoes, were allowed to taste delicious traditional Cretan dishes and were invited to a celebration in the village. The apartment is equipped with everything needed for a short but also long stay. Thanks for the time 😊

We had a fantastic stay at Elena’s place! The space was spotless, and had all the amenities we needed. The location was perfect for a quiet relaxing stay. The residents of the town were friendly and there’s a very nice taverna with great traditional Greek food that you can walk to. Elena was incredibly responsive and made sure our stay was comfortable and hassle-free. We highly recommend this Airbnb for anyone visiting Plouti. --- Feel free to personalize it with specific details from your experience.

We stayed at this beautiful villa with our adult children and an older parent, and it exceeded our expectations. Perched high above Moires, it offers stunning views of the valley and distant mountains. The villa is exactly as shown, with a fantastic outdoor pool, lovely gardens, and an outdoor kitchen featuring a gas grill and wood-fired pizza oven. Inside, everything was clean and well-presented, complete with a wonderful welcome pack. All the rooms were just as advertised, with quality linens and towels. George, the owner, was incredibly attentive, communicating effectively and even cooking delicious Cretan meals for us on several evenings. He also shared great recommendations for local trips, restaurants, and beaches. I can’t recommend this villa enough—it’s perfect, and I can’t wait to return!

What can we say. We felt immediately at home as soon as we arrived. The apartment was spotlessly clean, neat and tidy and nicely decorated. The bed was comfortable, and alongside really good air conditioning, we slept well. Security in all areas was exceptional also, even though we were in the village centre. The locals were very friendly, and once we had been there for a couple of days, we got the measure of the Cretan way of life. It was really relaxing and lovely. A fabulous greengrocer and super coffee house all within a few dozen steps of the house. Brilliant restaurants with traditional Cretan cuisine...such as Vegera, Idi's Restaurant by Zaros Lake, Taverna Votamos and of course the Restaurant at Eleonas country Village. Getting up in the morning to the vistas of the Psiloritis mountains is to die for. The region has so much to offer with such magnificent scenery. The weather was really kind to us too ... we came back with a healthy tan, which was not out of a bottle. 🫠

Olympia house was a perfect stay in a very Cretan town. The house itself is clean and well equipped with everything we needed at hand, close to many attractions and beaches. I would recommend Olympia house to anyone looking for an authentic Crete stay.
