Holiday rentals with a fireplace in Decentralized Administration of Crete

Fantastic old traditional house, well preserved and carefully modernized. Kind hosts eager to assist and give recommendations of nice nearby places to visit. Amazing view of the valley.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Marianthi's and Thodoris' house. The sea side view is just epic; from the hammock you can just chill, look over the sea and the mountains and feel the soft sea breeze. They are truly wonderful hosts, and they quickly responded to any requests from our side and provided us with nice suggestions on places to visit. The house was just beautiful and well cared for, especially the garden and patio were wonderful for our young kids who loved exploring and picking up lemons, that we used to make an amazing lemonade. Many days we started the day by walking to the nearby beach so that the kids could make sandcastles and we could relax into the day. We also enjoyed the restaurants at the beach that have a decent selection and good quality food. We would highly recommend this place to anyone, but especially to families with kids.

Villa anasa exceeded expectations. The pictures don't do it justice, the attention to detail in the interior is impressive. We had a lovely stay and would highly recommend. Gorgios was a gracious host and helpful in every way possible.

Great place directly opposite the beach - fantastic if you have toddlers like us. We ended up having dinner at the restaurant next door every day because the kids could play out there while we ate. If you want to visit the most beautiful beaches on Crete, this west coast location is great (though it should be noted that the beach near the house is actually facing north, which means it is thankfully not frequented by tourists). The host is very friendly and willing to help with any issues. The airbnb was very well equipped and prepared for our visit (including items we would not ordinarily expect like fruit, cake, and even a dinner on the first night - though we obviously knew about it based on previous reviews). We would come back here in a heartbeat!

The Arch House ist ein wunderbarer Platz mit schönem Garten und Blick in Olivenhaine. Innen ist es liebevoll gestaltet und wirklich gut ausgestattet. Wir haben den Aufenthalt sehr genossen und es uns gemütlich gemacht. Das geht dort sehr gut! Zumal wir den Großeinkauf vorher erledigt hatten, der örtliche Supermarkt ist zwar gut sortiert, aber die Auswahl ist dann doch übersichtlich. Zakros ist ein charmantes Örtchen, hübsch gelegen und umgeben von schöner Natur. Wir kommen sehr gerne wieder!

Had an absolutely beautiful stay at this apartment. The location is absolutely perfect for a relaxing get away. The property is really well equipped and has everything you could need. Maria was super friendly, responsive and communicated really well throughout our visit. We visited just before the main season and Mochlos was quiet and sleepy, just waking up. You'll need a car if you want to explore the island from here. Cannot recommend this property enough - we just had the most lovely time.

Nous avons passé un très très bon séjour et un moment magnifique dans ce logement authentique et fort agréable. Sûrement grâce à Cléopatra qui nous a accueilli de façon exceptionnelle, empathique, généreuse et pleine de bienveillance, elle a eu toujours le souci de nous satisfaire. À recommander sans hésitation.

Wir haben einen sehr tollen Spätsommer in Kanevos verbracht. Die Beschreibung und Fotos entsprechen den tatsächlichen Begebenheiten. Die Kommunikation mit Christos war phantastisch. Sehr freundlich und schnell. Die Außenanlagen ist ein Traum und wir hatten auch viele tolle Stunden im und ums Haus herum. Die Eltern, die teilweise in der oberen Wohnung waren, sind sehr nett und haben uns herzlich willkommen geheißen, mit Spezialitäten und Tipps versorgt. Wir würden jederzeit wieder kommen!

Poppy was amazing. So helpful, flexible and very friendly. The apartment is wonderful. Beautiful views and great location for the town and the beach. Perfect for two people, clean, modern and very comfortable. Poppy helped us with everything we needed. Would highly recommend and we will definitely be staying again. Thank you Poppy 😊

My husband and I spent a lovely week at Asteri Home. The house was exactly as expected and just what we wanted for our week in Crete. The kitchen was well-equipped and allowed us to make breakfasts and a some dinners at home. The main double bedroom was big enough and comfortable. The bathroom is a bit dark and the shower is quite small, but we made do. The most amazing part of the house is the huge garden overlooking the sea that has 4 sun loungers, 2 outdoor tables for dining, a BBQ and a dart board. We spent a lot of time sitting at the end of the garden enjoying the view. Véronique and Yiannis are amazing hosts. They were so helpful right from the start - arranging transport from the airport, a rental car, offering suggestions for restaurants and places to visit. Kokkini Hani is quieter than other more touristy parts of Crete we visited. We found wonderful Greek restaurants with fresh seafood everyday. The supermarket and shops are all in walking distance. A lovely place!

Het was een perfecte plek! George en familie waren erg gastvrij! Onze dochter mocht zelfs even boven spelen met zijn kinderen! Appartement was mooi, ruim en erg schoon! Met grote balkons (met een fantastisch uitzicht) en een ruime tuin die perfect was voor onze 4 jarige dochter. Van de tuin kregen we sla, eieren, schapenmelk en olijfolie. In de buurt snel bij het strand, lekkere restaurantjes en wandelroutes. Voor herhaling vatbaar! Wij hebben genoten :).

Abbiamo avuto il piacere di soggiornare nell’appartamento di Rena dal 26/5 al 2/6/‘25 ed è stata un’esperienza fantastica! L’appartamento era come da descrizione ma la vista dal terrazzo ha superato anche le aspettative! Purtroppo non abbiamo potuto conoscere Rena personalmente ma è sempre stata presente ad ogni nostra richiesta, ci aveva avvisati in anticipo che il Market del paese sarebbe stato ancora chiuso così abbiamo potuto premunirci di spesa prima di arrivare ma lei comunque ci ha fatto trovare in casa di tutto (grazie ancora!). In casa è presente ogni tipo di accessorio utile per la cucina ma anche delle accortezze che non avevo mai trovato in altre occasioni! La strada per raggiungere questo piccolo Paesino è parecchio tortuosa ma noi stavamo così bene lì che ci siamo spostati solo una volta. Ci sono 2/3 spiagge (dove spesso eravamo da soli) raggiungibile con una bella passeggiata in mezzo al nulla respirando il profumo dell’origano! Speriamo di poterci ritornare!

Words can’t describe how incredible this home is. Every corner you looked there was a masterpiece to be found. Beautifully decorated is an understatement, this Airbnb was curated over years and years of living. It was nested in the heart of the town. I will 100% be coming back. Thank you so much for a lovely stay Stelios and Nina.

Super Kontakt mit Irini. Wir bekamen kurzfristig Bescheid, daß wir früher einchecken konnten. Wir hatten eine persönliche Schlüsselübergabe. Irina hat uns alles gezeigt, selbst für das 1. Frühstück war der Kühlschrank gefüllt. Trotz der sehr zentralen Lage, viel ruhiger als erwartet, keinerlei Lärmbelästigung. Zu Bedenken ist bei Anreise mit eigenem PKW die angespannte Parksituation und bei schweren Gepäck, das enge Treppenhaus bis in die 2. Etage. Der Ausblick entschädigt aber für alle Mühe. Wir würden wiederkommen.

Hidden gem! Loved this home, literally two minute walk to Golden Beach. Katerina is so sweet (she met us in-person, had local restaurant recommendations, and even provided a bottle of wine). The home was perfect for our group of 6 (great value for the money, too). Would 100% come again!

Stavros was fantastic, as was the history of this wonderful place. Rethymno was a beautiful town and we explored everywhere on foot. We decided on walking in the morning and then having a late lunch (each lunch was fantastic) and walking back up the hill to have a light supper on the deck at sunset. Beautiful and thank you so much for the care you put into your house to make it a wonderful experience.

Das Haus besticht durch seine großen Fenster, die einen wunderschönen Blick auf das Meer ermöglichen.vor allen Fenstern verschiebbare Fliegengitter, sodass auch bei 40 Grad Außentemperatur ein gutes Raumklima herrschte.Ein Highlight war der Sternenhimmel, den wir auf der Matratze auf der Terrasse( unter sicherem Moskitonetz) genießen konnten.Federico hat uns jeden morgen mit frischen Eiern, Ziegenjoghurt sowie Honig und Olivenöl bestens versorgt. Der Umgang war ausgesprochen freundlich und seine Tipps waren ausgezeichnet. Insbesondere die Taverne Agios Georgios , ein bisschen individuell, flower power und mit hervorragender Küche werden wir vermissen.

This place is absolutely amazing. My wife and I spent our honeymoon at Aikaterinis apartment and we were completely satisfied. The inside provides everything what we needed. The description was absolutely accurate. The fridge is very spacious and there is a freezer as well. We cooked quite a lot therefore this was very helpful for us. The pool outside is very clean and also the temperature was perfect for the hot days in Greece. You can really relax at this place because there is not a lot of tourism at this area on Crete. Also the beach in front of the house is quite nice. We put our hammock under some trees and were watching the sunrise over Paleochora. I can totally recommend this apartment, especially for couples who want some relaxing time and together.

Wir haben mit 7 Personen (4 Erwachsene - 3 Teenager) unseren Urlaub in der Villa verbracht. Wir haben uns alle sehr wohl gefühlt und den Luxus der Villa sehr genossen. Die Küche war wunderbar ausgestattet. Alles war sehr sauber. Zur Begrüßung bekamen wir einen gut gefüllten Kühlschrank und einen tollen Obstkorb mit frischen Früchten. Manolis war sehr freundlich und hat schnell reagiert. Nachdem nach unserem Urlaub keine weiteren Gäste kamen, war ein späterer checkout problemlos möglich. Herzlichen Dank dafür. Das hat den Abreisetag sehr entspannt für uns gestaltet, da unser Rückflug erst spät abends war. Ganz klare Empfehlung für die Villa und den Urlaubsort!

We LOVED this place!! The villa, the location, and the hosts Eleni and Georgios are all fantastic. The house is stunningly designed inside and out, for both functionality and luxury. The kitchen is supremely well-equipped, beds comfortable, bathrooms and living spaces airy and stylish. We appreciated the multiple terraces, beautiful swimming pool and sauna with a view! The location is perfect without a car: easily walkable to bars, restaurants and supermarkets in Plakias, but situated at the best, quietest, wildest end of the bay, with sandy beach, clear water, a couple of cool beach bars for sundowners and a beautiful walk on the headland. If you do have a car, there are amazing beaches nearby (Skinaria is gorgeous), and walking (and cold swimming) in the Kourtaliotiko Gorge. Eleni and Georgios are amazing hosts: communicative, friendly, thoughtful, offering local recommendations and dealing with any questions or issues efficiently - thank you! 🤩

Our stay was absolutely perfect! Great location with it only being a 15 minute drive to Rethymno centre. Great facilities at the house, the pool & hot tub are a great addition to your stay. Check-in/check-out was made super easy with great communication between all parties involved. Would 100% recommend & return in the future :)

We had the most dreamy of times at the villa! Maria gave us a warm welcome and made us feel at home right away. We loved her hospitality and proactive hosting, giving us tips and recommendations of places to visit in the area. The place provided everything one could wish for, from pristine looking rooms to hammam showers, a fine gas bbq and shaded terrace, glorious swimming pool, comfy sofa and a kitchen chefs would enjoy. The surroundings are to die for. Sinuous roads and endless sea views, unique beaches, but also mountain hikes, gorges and wine tastings not far at all (car is a must). Closest taverna has delicious food. Agia Galini is a short drive away and offers all essentials should you need to shop, eat out, find an atm or go on a fishing boat trip. Thanks again for a fantastic stay! We will be back sooner than later!

We hebben bijzonder genoten van de locatie en de villa. alle voorzieningen waren zoals beschreven en nieuw. Uitzicht was adembenemend en de villa bood voldoende privacy en rust ondanks dat er drie zelfde villa's naast elkaar staan. Strandje, restaurants en supermarkt waren op loopafstand. Dus we hadden geen huurauto nodig. Plaatsje Agia Pelagia was ook op loopafstand. Is nog redelijk traditioneel Grieks vissersdorp maar wel redelijke toeristisch. Al met al een geweldig verblijf gehad waarbij de host, weliswaar op afstand en zonder persoonlijk contact, steeds online actief was, snel reageerde en proactief informatie verschafte.

We stayed at the house as a group of 5 and had the most amazing time. The house is spacious, has a big kitchen with all necessary supplies and had a lot of room to sit together, a perfect place for each time of the day. And not to forget about the amazing view!!! Worth to highlight is that there were a lot of extra supplies in the house like olive oil, raki, etc. We enjoyed that a lot. Also the outside area was cleaned everyday and the bathrooms were cleaned once during the stay. We didn’t miss a thing and can highly recommend staying in this amazing house with great hosts!!
