Cottage vacation rentals in Chania

We stayed at Georgia's mansion during our honeymoon at the end of September. The place was large for two people, but we felt like royalty with all of the space :) The mansion is beautifully redone on the inside - it has modern amenities with a traditional aesthetic. The place had absolutely everything we needed in the kitchen, bathrooms, bedrooms, and outside. The pool was wonderful! We spent our afternoons lounging after hot days in Chania and the surrounding areas, which offer lots of restaurants, attractions, and great shopping! The area was great as well - easy to get to, quiet, and with easy access to the main road that can take you east or west in no time :) We highly recommend a stay at this beautifully restored mansion, and we hope to be back ourselves someday!

The place was absolutely lovely and very clean. Makis mother is very wonderful, she made us great food and we also got to try his father's homemade wine. If anything was needed, we knew that we could ask Makis and get a quick response, or even go to his parents and receive a warm welcome. Higly recommended!

Such a beautiful home, with an amazing view of the mountains! Perfect view of the Milky Way at night from the private balcony. The home was extremely clean and well decorated. The air conditioning was modern, functional and very welcoming after long days at the beach. The bed was soft and very comfortable. If you don’t mind narrow, winding roads up the mountain, it is the perfect place to stay! 40 minutes drive to Chania, and within 2 hours drive of most major, popular beaches. Nikos was very kind, responsive, and welcoming. Thanks to his hospitality, my stay in Crete was an outstanding experience!

Absolutely beautiful home in a stunning area. The ride out to Theriso was beautiful and the village was so peaceful. We sat outside in the evening listening to the night sounds and watching the stars. The beds were comfortable and the house had everything we needed. lovely restaurants close by. Great place with a lot of character

Loved our host and will come back :) Great houses, great location and wonderful people!

This is my family’s second time staying with casa magnolia and believe me when I say you really will not find a more generous, loving, and friendly family who genuinely care about your comfort and want to show you the beautiful hospitality that Crete is known for. We were overjoyed to see them again and are very thankful that this family has chosen to share their little paradise on earth with the world. The home is spotless clean, organized, beautifully decorated and in a countryside location that is unique and breathtaking. The owners, without asking, went out of their way to buy us essential groceries and prepare delicious local food and drink for when we arrived. We are grateful for this! Bed linens are of high quality and freshly laundered professionally and were much appreciated after a long day out and about in Chania. Bathrooms are exceptionally clean and so is the rest of the house. We will never hesitate to visit again and hope to do so in future because of this family. ❤

Perfect stay if you are looking for something peaceful yet quite close to many points of interest!😊

We had an amazing stay! The views are incredible and even better than the photos! We enjoyed eating our breakfast looking out at the mountains. It’s so peaceful and private. Niki and Yerasimos were great hosts, so friendly and kind & we loved how they personally met us and even had homemade biscuits waiting for us, a really nice touch. They also gave their own recommendations which was so helpful as it meant we visited some local beaches we’d not have gone to otherwise and they were beautiful! We also visited the local taverna a couple of times which is just a short walk away so really convenient and they did great food! The place was cosy, comfy and clean. Overall it was the best airbnb visit either of us have had!

Our vacation week was very nice. Sifis was a very kind and caring host. We received a lot of information and great suggestions on what to visit and where to go. The cabin was cozy, comfortable and had everything you need for relaxation and cooking. The place is very quiet, but close to the highway that can take you to the nearest towns and beaches. We highly recommend it :)

The house is perfect for a quiet place to relax. Everything is perfectly furnished with what you need to live. The fridge has been filled with food and drinks. Very recommended!

We stayed at the cottage at the end of September during our Honeymoon trip to Crete. The place is a jewel nestled into the hillside, with a beautiful view of Falassarna and the northwest coast, especially at sunset. I agree with other reviews that the photos don't do it justice - it's a quaint and lovely place. It had everything we needed during our stay, including a well stocked kitchen, linens/towels, toiletries, and a ceiling fan + air conditioning in the large bedroom. The place was also perfectly clean! The location is great too - a less than 10 minute drive to Falassarna beach, and in the evenings, you can walk to some of the nearby restaurants, or drive a little further for more delicious options. But by far the greatest thing was our host/neighbor Irene. She was incredibly helpful, friendly, welcoming, and gave us tips for places to eat and visit during our stay. She made the place feel like home :) We highly recommend this place and hope to visit again!

Thanks for the stay in your beautiful country house. Breathtaking environment in the middle of the mountains, impeccable house decorated in the old style but with great taste which adds to the cache, huge terrace with magnificent and cool view in the heights of the mountains, very appreciable in summer in Crete. Full of small touches from the owners and seasonal fruits and vegetables available in the garden at the suggestion of the owners. We spent five timeless days. Beautiful beaches on the west side of the island within driving distance. The last 2 minutes to access the property are by a path but quite accessible by car by driving slowly. Thank you for an amazing stay! We'd love to come back

Such a fantastic week at Villa Michail, Kalliopi was so welcoming and warm, giving us a full tour of the facilities, and Dimitra was extremely prompt in communication to answer any questions we had. The villa itself is high in the mountains, with exceptional views from multiple angles of the surrounding mountains and greenery. Kalliopi and Michail have renovated the property to a very high standard, retaining numerous features and belongings of when it has been passed through generations of their family. It made our honeymoon really special and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend to anyone else. Thank you again!

This was our second time staying at the stone house. It’s perfectly located for exploring Almyrida, Gavalochori and surrounding areas. The house is clean and has everything you need for a comfortable stay. Vasilis kindly put a mosquito net above the bed too which made a big difference for our stay this time.

Everything was done with heart, really warm welcome, full fridge, homemade cake. We noticed all the lovely details, hand embroidered bed linen, neat garden, bathrooms filled with products etc. We felt great in this house and can only recommend this address. The location away from the tourist hustle and bustle allowed us to take a break , there are tavernas and restaurants nearby, and the beautiful beach of Phalassarna is just around the corner. We'd love to come back, thanks for everything

Our stay at Andreas’ beautifully restored ancient house in Aptera was nothing short of magical. Every corner of the home has been carefully restored, maintaining its authentic charm. Andreas was an exceptional host! From the moment we arrived, he made us feel welcome, offering helpful tips about the local area and ensuring we had everything we needed - even some food in the refrigerator! The location in Aptera is ideal for anyone looking to explore Crete’s natural beauty and ancient sites. We loved the peaceful surroundings, with easy access to stunning views, historical landmarks, and nearby beaches. In addition, there are three taverns in Aptera with great food and hospitality.

Best Airbnb I ever stayed in since I singed up on this App ten years ago. Georges was super friendly and lovely, his family cooked us an amazing Musaka 😍 The place was super clean and felt like home. It had everything you could ever need Highly recommended Definitely will keep coming back again and again

The place is really very nice and quiet. We enjoyed the beautiful garden, the tranquility and the cats very much and were able to relax well. By car, you can reach many restaurants, beaches and shopping in 5 minutes. Chania and other excursion destinations in the west are easily accessible from there. We were well and nicely looked after and felt very welcome. I highly recommend it. :)

George's house is in a peaceful setting in a small village away from the crowds but only a 15-minute drive to shops, restaurants and the beach. Many hiking trails are accessible nearby. The house is impeccable with all the amenities you need and the terrace is very nice. The neighbors are very nice and welcoming while remaining discreet. George is a wonderful host. He is very accommodating and always available. I highly recommend this house which is a peaceful oasis. Thank you for everything George!

We had an excellent stay at Manos’ cottage. Upon meeting us he was so friendly and welcomed us with some delicious local foods including honey and olive oil as well as plenty of drinks. He even dropped round some other treats during our stay and helped us book restaurants, he was the most responsive and attentive Airbnb host we’ve ever met! The cottage was such a relaxing place to be and so private, every aspect of the landscaping had been thought through to make it feel unique. We needed a chilled break and that’s exactly what we had in Spillia, you can walk through the olive groves to two local wineries and the Cretan brewery was only a short drive away too. The area is beautiful but not far at all to the sea and supermarkets. We would come back in a heartbeat, it was a really lovely holiday.

We had a great stay at Sara’s place. The apartment is on the 2nd fl (one flight up as in the picture). We stayed comfortably in their olive groves. We like the big balcony and the bathroom is also big. Snack, Olive oil and lemon were offered, appreciated, thank to them. Sara gave us detailed information where to go for some sightseeing. Sara and her husband are very friendly. We could easily go to the city and the beach from here. Highly recommended.

This year we've stayed at the house second time, and we absolutely love it. The host are very welcoming people, absolutely unique experience. Far away from crowds but close to everything. We feel like home there. The oranges from local garden and picturesque views. Tiny details which makes the stay special. We'll definitely come back again. Usually we stay at August, but considering going there at spring.

Amazing place - beautifully restored old Cretan villa. Pool area lovely. Village a real rustic treat. Roof terrace views are divine. Loved it
