Family-friendly holiday rentals in Gazi

We have just had the most gorgeous family holiday at Villa Belle Helene . It is the perfect villa equipped to the highest standards both inside and out and exceeded all our expectations. Inside is spacious and all the rooms have excellent air conditioning which was very welcome in the heat. We spent a lot of time enjoying the outdoor areas, especially the pool and jacuzzi which were perfect to cool down in the heat and to enjoy. The sheltered area outside the lounge is perfect for eating and BBQs and the raised outdoor seating area with TV provides the opportunity to unwind in an evening. It is 10 mins walk up to Old Hersonnissus which has a lovely square with Tavernas and bars. Hiring a car is worthwhile to explore the island further but not essential as its easy to book taxis. Eleni and her family are absolutely lovely, they could not be more helpful and made us so welcome. We would absolutely recommend this villa and would love to stay again if we go back to Crete.

I already miss this house. It’s like a fairytale cottage. So many cute little spaces indoors and out. Character and charm! It’s old with stone steps and some low doorways, so don’t be clumsy. Our hosts were hospitable and kind. We felt right at home. There are many flowers, herbs and trees. Unforgettable.

Our family of 12 (ages 13 to 82) from Canada spent a week at this beautiful villa. Corresponding with our host from booking to departure was very responsive and professional - we even got to meet the owners who were very hospitable. The villa was very beautiful, the property was incredible and the surroundings and the view were magnificent. In other words we loved the place. We had all the conveniences an active family like ours could ask for: lovely pool, tennis court, ping pong table, pool table, exercise room, basket ball court, BQ area, not to mention the luxury and comfort of the villa and its surrounding area. We were within walking distance to the village with it's friendly people, grocery shopping and a great restaurant. The walk was interesting and filled with beautiful scenery and views, wondering sheep and goats and barking dogs. Kostas and owners, thank you for a beautiful holiday Ernie & Mary Anne (the grandparents)

La vue est magnifique. La vieille ville est à 30 minutes de marche. Les lits sont confortables et il y a suffisamment de draps et de serviettes. Cuisine bien équipée. Téo est très avenant et il est facile de communiquer avec lui. Je recommande.

Nous avons passé un excellent séjour ! Tout s'est très bien passé. Le logement était conforme à nos attentes : confortable, bien équipé. Un grand merci à Angelina et Céline pour leur disponibilité et leur gentillesse, aussi bien avant notre arrivée que pendant le séjour. Le seul petit bémol, que nous connaissions à l'avance, est l'emplacement un peu isolé qui nécessite d'être véhiculé. Heureusement un service de navette est proposé, ce qui est un vrai plus. Une adresse que nous gardons précieusement et que nous recommandons !

Very high class Villa, if you are looking for quality accommodation then look no further. My family consisted of 7 adults and an 18 month old, stayed for 8 days. Everyone loved it. There is a great traditional taverna only 10 minutes walk away, a big supermarket 15 mins by car and great beach again just 15 mins by car. We were there in May, spend most of the time around the pool and firing up the fantastic BBQ!

The house is simply gorgeous. Our family had a wonderful Christmas holiday here. The host was very generous with items in the refrigerator and a well stocked kitchen. Lots of recommendations of places to eat in the area. Michael met us in the driveway upon arrival and showed us everything in the house, that was very kind. Especially loved access to the washer and dryer because we were traveling with kids. It was too cold to use the pool, but if you are here when it is warm, it would be such delight.

Very nice modern house (less than five years old?) overlooking the sea. Everything in very good working order, including powerful air conditioning in the bedrooms. Frequent cleaning of the pool area was a benefit, particularly when a storm had come in the night before. Very convenient to Rethymno as well as to several bakeries and restaurants towards the centre of the island.

nous avons passé une belle semaine dans le logement de Maria. La terrasse couverte est la plus belle pièce de la maison avec une vue magnifique sur la mer. La plage est à moins de 5 min à pied, par contre attention, pour les personnes qui ont des difficultés à marcher, la pente est plutôt raide à remonter. Maria est très réactive et répond très vite aux messages. agia pelagia reste une petite station balnéaire très bien situé pour visiter le Nord de l'île. Belle découverte

Four friends and I stayed in this rustic, charming, beautiful and overall homie space for 7 days while we attending a wedding and we all unanimously could not have been more happy! This is a space that you feel so great walking into over and over. I had the best meal of my life with the entire party literally around the corner… maybe 20 steps and we were all in glee. The entire area in old town is gorgeous. You cannot see it any other way. There is a vibe to match your needs somewhere around another corner no matter what you look for on your trip. Shopping was excellent. The feeling of safety was consistent throughout the trip. People are friendly and common throughout the town even throughout the wee morning hours as many places do stay open quite late to always provide an option. I had said by day 1 I knew I would already come back here. Vassilis was a proactive and responsive gentleman in hosting. Truly a pleasure to deal with him and I really do hope to return for vacation. Thanks!

Loved this villa and hope to be back sometime in the future. It is just like the pictures. Ideal for the beach and restaurants as no need for a car. Host was very accommodating and let us leave our cases in the villa as we had a late flight.

Ευχάριστο καλωσόρισμα, το περιβάλλον ήταν άψογο και η προσέλευση στον χώρο ήταν αρκετά εύκολη βάση των οδηγιών του οικοδεσπότη. Όλα είναι όπως ακριβώς αναγράφονται στην περιγραφή του διαμερίσματος. Ο χώρος φιλοξενίας ήταν άριστος, καθώς η καθαριότητα και η περιποίηση του σπιτιού μας άφησαν αρκετά ικανοποιημένους!!! Ο ιδιοκτήτης του διαμερίσματος είναι πολύ καλός άνθρωπος και ευχάριστη προσωπικότητα. Κατά την άφιξη μας έκανε ξενάγηση στον χώρο και μας ενημέρωσε πως μπορούμε να αξιοποιήσουμε τις υπηρεσίες που παρείχε το διαμέρισμα, γενικά μας κατατόπισε πλήρως! Σίγουρα θα το επισκεφτούμε ξανά κάποια στιγμή και το προτείνω ανεπιφύλακτα!! Ωραίος προορισμός για εκείνους που θέλουν λίγη ησυχία και χαλάρωση!

wenn man es ruhig haben will ist es der perfekte Ort, Stella gab auch gute Tips unter anderem eine Autovermietung (Tsoukos Rent a Car) was für mich sehr hilfreich war um so die Umgebung ( etliche Beaches und Sehenswürdigkeiten) flexibel zu erkunden. Restaurants, Bars etc im Hauptort Analipsi sind von der Wohnung auch in ein paar Minuten Fußweg zu erreichen. Alles in allem kann ich die Wohnung absolut empfehlen und ich würde auch immer wieder gerne dort buchen !

Non seulement le thème de l’appartement était excellent, mais il était aussi confortable et très bien situé !! La communication avec George était très fluide. C’est non seulement un hôte amical, mais il est aussi flexible et donne de très bonnes recommandations !! En résumé, le séjour était au top 🤗

Nous avons passé un séjour mémorable à Kastri dans ce bel appartement avec une vue magnifique ! Les hôtes sont très accueillants et disponibles, le logement est parfait et le village très charmant et authentique. Nous vous recommandons vivement cet endroit !!

Kostis’ apartment is cozy, clean and extremely well located. The terrace is spectacular, offering great views of the ocean and an amazing sunset. We truly appreciated Kostis’ hospitality, always one step ahead of our needs with timely communication and great local recommendations.

Wir haben uns insgesamt sehr wohl gefühlt, waren immer gut betreut und die Wohnung entsprachvoll unseren Erwartungen. Man muss wissen, dass in den Abendstunden auch das ein oder andere Flugzeug nach Heraklion fliegt. Ein kleiner Supermarkt ist direkt vor Ort und zu Fuß in 2Minuten erreichbar. Ansonsten ist ohne Mietwagen ein schnelles Einkaufen oder Essen gehen mit öffentlichen Verkehrsmitteln nicht so einfach. Mit Auto alles kein Problem in fünf Minuten in großer Auswahl. Die Aussicht und die Wohnung sind sehr gut. Schwimmen vor Ort zu Fuß in fünf Minuten sehr gut möglich unterhalb der Wohnung. Diese war viel großzügiger als erwartet. Insgesamt kommen wir gerne wieder.

Ein wunderschönes Haus mit einer Top-Lage direkt am Meer. Der Vermieter ist sehr engagiert und super freundlich. Wir kommen auf jeden Fall wieder.

As someone who’s constantly traveling for both work and leisure, it’s rare to come across a place where everything is so well thought out that there’s nothing to comment on, in the best way. This is genuinely one of my favorite stays. The location and views are magical and the attention to detail across the property is impressive. The pool and garden were always perfectly maintained and for a mountain spot, it’s not easy to find such clear, bug-free water. The team on site was great, always helpful without being intrusive. The food at the restaurant isn’t fancy but it’s honest, home-cooked, and made with care. Thank you for everything, I’d definitely come back and already started recommending it to friends.

We loved staying at Petros's place. The location is picture perfect and completely serene, coupled with the stunning views - perfect getaway gem. The villa is beautifully designed with lots of places to explore and hang out in. Petros is very accommodating and all around helpful from assisting us in setting up the outdoor speakers to offering to make restaurant reservations on our behalf. We had an absolutely amazing time and hope to stay at the villa again when we come back to Crete. Highly recommend!

Lovely villa sitting in the hills outside of Rethymno City. All self contained and immaculately kept and maintained. Very responsive host who was most welcoming. Nikos and his daughter Katerina did a fantastic job responding to our needs and making us most welcome. Katerina has superb English so communication was never a problem. Would thoroughly recommend. It would also suggest you need a car to get about either down the hill to City and beaches or up the hill to mountain villages and exploring. Pool is great and outdoor space around the villa is superb. Reccomendations - we followed up on a few authentic tavernas from Katerina and they were superb. Would defo go and eat at Athivoles Taverna in Chromonastiri. Only a short drive away ie 7 km but basically the most authentic Cretan cuisine you will taste for sure. Hits were magnificent. All in all we had a great family holiday.

Nous avons séjourné 1 semaine avec ma mère dans le logement et tout était parfait. Une communication très fluide, avec sympathie ! merci Evangelia

We have enjoyed our stay , the host is very helpful , the room is clean , it looks exactly like the photos , the view is fabulous. You need a car to move around , go to the beach and visit the city. I recommend

Absolutes Paradies für (Klein)Kinder. Jede Menge Spielgeräte und Spielsachen für Pool/Strand und gleichzeitig total sicher durch die Poolumrandung und Zäune. Die Kinder (3Jahre & 1Jahr) wollten überhaupt nicht gehen und wir konnten uns oft nicht zwischen Strand oder Pool entscheiden, weil die Unterkunft so schön war. Unglaublich schöne Aussicht, insbesondere auf den Sonnenuntergang, sodass es auch für uns Erwachsene jeden Abend perfekt war. Keine Strandbar nötig;) Falls wir wieder nach Kreta kommen auf jeden Fall wieder hier her. 100% Weiterempfehlung.
