Pet-friendly holiday rentals in Xeropotamos

We enjoyed a fantastic four days in Aris’ place, the views of the plateau and mountains are just beautiful! We felt right at home, and it was lovely to have Aris and his wife physically there at check in, a rarity these days! The images really don’t do this place justice, it is up some winding roads but we were prepared for that having visited the plateau in 2012. We can’t recommend staying here more, we really wish we’d have booked a longer stay! Aris had a fantastic hire car recommendation too, which was also great, and we had some amazing recommendations from them too. Thank you very much Aris!

we had a great week at Maria's place. The covered terrace is the most beautiful room in the house with a magnificent view of the sea. The beach is less than 5 minutes' walk away, but beware, for people who have difficulty walking, the slope is rather steep to climb. Maria is very responsive and responds very quickly to messages. Agia Pelagia remains a small seaside resort very well located to visit the north of the island. Beautiful discovery

Very very Beautiful Apartment and a Yard just for yourself to use and hang out. Perfekt for Couples or Families. There is also a small village with a little shop for some quick shopping. But in 30min you are in Heraklion and at beautiful beaches. Also Georgia is very kind and looks after you! Would def recommend and come back :)

We can highly recommend this accommodation. It's tucked away in a very secluded spot, which makes it wonderfully peaceful. At the same time, you can reach restaurants and a mini market in just a few minutes. A car is essential! The garden is stunning. The biodiversity is incredible. There's always something new to discover. The house is quite small and simply furnished, but that was absolutely fine. Everything was clean, and that's what matters most. The long driveway leading to the house can be a bit intimidating—it just slopes down without any railing or guard. But that’s just part of the Cretan charm. Giannis was always very friendly and helpful—thank you for everything! We also got to know the neighboring family and even visited them. Such kind people. And the animals! Aphroditi the horse, a peacock, chickens, and turkeys—our daughter loved them. Overall a great experience. We were very happy and would definitely recommend it. Who knows—maybe we’ll be back in a few years!

May 2025, 10 nights stay for three (2 adults, 1 toddler). Villa is really fantastic. Beautiful view of the sea and the bay. It offers plenty of space for more people (2 couples, 4-6 friends, 2 families) and for longer stays (storage space, cupboards and shelves, etc.). The furnishings correspond to the description and offer, even in the kitchen, everything you need. Our highlight was the covered terrace. Our flight was moved up at short notice. A significantly earlier check-in was no problem at all in our case. Stelios is a very friendly, helpful and dedicated host. We recommend him and his villa without reservation. Small restriction: the accommodation is a bit off the beaten track or the region is a bit scattered (mainly due to the geography of the terrain). Without your own car, it will be a bit difficult in our opinion. However, there is a free parking space directly at the house.

This quaint AirBnB was not only comfortable but also a stone’s throw away from the beach. We felt right at home and enjoyed every moment - would totally recommend! (Side note: Crete is a gorgeous but absolutely HUGE island, if you want to get around easily and visit other beaches you should definitely hire a car) 🇬🇷

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A dream vacation with friends – DejaView in Crete is a real gem! We were able to spend some unforgettable days in the holiday home DejaView – and it was simply fantastic! The house itself is modern, stylish and equipped with everything you could wish for. The spacious pool and the breathtaking view of the Cretan landscape all the way to the sea inspired us every day. But what really makes this place special is the host. From the first moment, he was incredibly warm, helpful and attentive - after a very short time, it felt as if we had found a friend on site. Whether tips for excursions, restaurant recommendations or just a nice conversation - he was always there for us and made our stay something very special. DejaView is the perfect place to unwind, enjoy and feel good. We will definitely be back.

Our stay was absolutely stunning. Stavros is a very welcoming person and contacted us prior to our stay with all important information. The moment we were sitting in our rental car at the airport and needed to find out the address our location he had already sent it five minutes before. Very proactive - Stavros can read his guests minds! :D The house with pool is an absolute dream come true and the village centre seems to have popped directly out of a movie with a fantastic and creatively furnished restaurant that spans across the entire place. My warmest recommendation to stay at this beautiful place!

Very nice new villa, with a great pool area. An outdoor kitchen with play area for the children is also available in the lower part of the complex. Good opportunity for activities. Not far to the beach.

We had a lovely 2 week stay at the villa. The view and facilities were outstanding. The hosts were super friendly and very helpful. I would recommend the villa to all families and groups. We were supplied with everything we needed including cots and child safety gates. Thank you for making our stay so relaxing and checking whether we needed anything.

Nikos' place is incredible. It totally transports you to another time and lets you absorb the beauty of the Cretan landscape and nature. We noticed something new every day. Having the pool with stunning views of the mountains and sea, a well-equipped kitchen and an olive tree shaded seating area to eat in, meant we rarely had to leave the place! A holiday to remember forever for us. Thank you

The pictures don’t do this view justice. It’s breathtaking! The home is gorgeous and the outdoor space is wonderful. It was too cold for us to swim but we still enjoyed time at the beach. Most of the immediate area was already shut down for the season during our stay but there is a lovely area about a mile walk away. We spent a lot of time there enjoying the coffee shops and restaurants. The house and rooms were fantastic and there was more than enough space for everyone to relax. The host was amazing and went above and beyond to help us when we left some glasses at a restaurant. Thank you so much for a great stay!!

Beautiful place, great for families. Lots of toys and even a potty for the kids! Cleaner came mid week which was not necessary but so great. Beach is a 3 min walk. Really need a car to get there which was fine for us! Thanks for everything.

We just loved everything about this airbnb!!!!! The house was AMAZING, incredible views, incredible features, we went to the pool, did barbecue, breakast with ocean view, everything and more we expected! Konstations is THE BEST host we ever got!! Not only he was hiper reactive, attentious ( he made sure to got us on the airport so we arrive well, his mom cooked us food because they would imagine we would arrive late and hungry), incredibly generous and nice!! We have many tips and support during the full trip ! Everything and more that we expected! Thank you again

Beautiful apartment with the kindest host. Vivi made us feel at home from the first minute. On top of that she has a amazing restaurant with the most delicious and authentic Crete food

Amazing place to stay and Jekaterina is the BEST host! She was so attentive to our needs and made such fantastic recommendations everyday, which made our stay even better. Thank you Jekaterina! We hope to see you again soon!

Great house for our group of two families with four total children. Private and spacious, the home is away from the city on a hill. Fotini met us to lead us to the home and give us a small orientation, she was quite helpful and we loved our time there.

We had a relaxing and pleasant stay at Despina’s lovely place. The flat is spacious, well-equipped, and tastefully decorated. Ligaria is a charming little settlement nestled in a small bay perfect for a peaceful getaway. Despina is a warm and welcoming host; she even stocked the fridge with breakfast items for us. If you have a car, the location is ideal, with easy access to the highway for day trips.

We've spent two great nights at Filia's place as a couple. A bottle of wine and raki waited for us. The house is really cosy and has everything that may be needed during your stay!

We had a very nice stay at the Tiny Villa :) It was all very clean and well maintained, the communication was very pleasant and easy, when we had questions we didn't have to wait long for an answer. In addition, cats came by very often who were very loving and would certainly be happy if you fed them from time to time :)

Our best holidays. We were happy to spend tge time at this peaceful place.

Bathroom modern but doors difficult use. Parking difficult to find. Needed locals to help us find the opening to the apartment. Host described opening but was confusing when you follow the map. Apartment very clean and comfortable.

Staying in La Casita by Kleoniki was the best choice I could have made! The accomodation is very beautiful, clean, inspiring, has a lot of suggestive elements and It makes you feel at home from the first minutes! In addition, I really appreciated finding welcome food and drinks! The access street is very calm, and it is a crossroads of a main road, which have all the services you may need. It Is located less than 10 minutes walking from the port and less than 15 from Morosini Plaza. I really would recommend La Casita to everyone! Thank you Kleoniki, hope to come back soon!

We had a wonderful stay at the Gaea Loft! The check-in went completely smoothly. Titos greeted us on our arrival with freshly squeezed orange juice, pastries and fresh eggs from his chickens. He is a very kind and likeable man, who cares very much about the successful stay of his guests. The listing exactly matches the pictures. It is clean, spacious and extremely well equipped (spices, oil, luggage scale, cooling packs, etc.). Each living room is equipped with air conditioning that quickly cools the room to the desired temperature. The view is beautiful, you can enjoy the sunrise and sunset on the balcony. The loft is accessible via a separate front door. You always have complete privacy. We can recommend the Gaea Loft to anyone!!
