Holiday rentals in Magarikari

I am excited with this amazing hospitality! The host was kind! The house was clean and newly built. The location was excellent because I had the opportunity to visit Matalla and another amazing places such as Agia Galini, Komos, Faistos!!!!! I will be back soon!!!!

One of the best places we ever stayed in Crete so far! The location is magnificent. Total privacy and stunning view. The inside of the house might seem a bit small from the pictures, but it's not. It is just about the right size for a family. We travelled with our 3 children (6, 4 and 1 year old). Antonios and his wife welcomed us at the nearby tavern Imeros in the village of Lagolio and then showed the way to the house, very easy to find. They were very kind and always quickly responded to any messages. The house is located about 700 meters from the village of Lagolio with no neighbours. This does mean you do need a car. Closest super market is in Timbaki, about 5 km away. Tavern Imeros in Lagolio serves delicious authentic Greek food, we enjoyed it almost every day. We were able to take the food to the house, after we put the children to bed. Several beaches, archeological sites, walking paths, etc. in the neighbourhood (15 - 30 min. driving). We also enjoyed the pool at the house!

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!

We really enjoyed our stay at Georgios’ place. Communication with him and his wife was very smooth — they responded quickly whenever we had a question and were also very flexible with the check-in. The flat is a dream and waking up every morning to such a beautiful view right by the beach felt like a real fairytale. We truly felt that they cared about us — they kept us informed about important things (like an earthquake) and other helpful updates. We highly recommend the flat and them as hosts. Would definitely love to come back. Thanks for everything!

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. 🫠

We had a wonderful stay (a little short) at this typical Cretan villa. (Safe with a baby). We had the pleasure of seeing the fridge filled with delicious fruits and more. Our host waited for us late and answered any questions we had during the stay. A great authentic restaurant address was recommended to us. Thank you for everything and we hope to come back someday.

This is an amazing place a real traditional treasure, so much family history.

The house is incredible and looks even better in real life than in the pictures. It’s a beautiful ancient oil mill that was renovated and now serves as the perfect place to relax and enjoy peaceful and quiet times in the wild south of Crete. The views from the house are incredible - especially at night - and you are completely alone; there is no one in the vicinity that can see you, so you can enjoy the highest level of privacy there. The pool is kept in pristine condition and cleaned regularly. The house also has a bbq grill and other useful items in a small shed nearby. There’s a great traditional tavern close by (30 seconds by foot) with amazing Greek food and good wine at a fair price. The hosts are very friendly and always in touch to assist with any request. When the WiFi didn’t work as it should, the hosts organised for someone to come to the house and install a new router, so we had Wifi. A rental car is recommended. Conclusion: Highly recommended!
