Cottage vacation rentals in Crete

Amazing terrace, felt private and had nice views on the sea and mountains. Great communication with the host.

Flawless accommodation, beautiful little house tastefully renovated. The jacuzzi is very nice especially at this time of year when the temperature drops quickly after dark! We thank the hosts for their special touches. Ideal for staying a few days with family! Only small negative point, the main road of the village is a little busy in front of the accommodation (do not hesitate to close the gate with children!) However, once inside it is very well soundproofed.

We spent several days in Villa Nikki and had a wonderful time. The house, the view, the Pool - everything was just amazing. Communication with Giannis and his team was also perfect. If our vacation wouldn't have ended we probably just would have stayed there for ever :)

The villa is beautifully located in a dead end on the mountain of the small village of Armenoi. Everything is well maintained, clean and atmospheric. All sanitary functions are very great in shape, the kitchen is great incl. Dishwasher equipped and the sleeping areas maintained. The grill worked impeccably and coal and lighter were ready. The communication with Elina has been great, very helpful and attentive. A car is indispensable if you want to go to the sea ( 8 min. Travel time to Kalyves ). I would come back anytime and therefore also recommend the best conscience.

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

Amazing place to stay and relax. We came to the area for the hiking and wild flowers in spring. I have never seen so many different orchids in one area. The apartment was wonderfully comfortable and so relaxing to come back to. A little luxury !

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

We enjoyed this very nice cottage very much. In the middle of a sea of flowers, with the sea close by and complete tranquility. Spyros and Sofia are incredibly sweet, warm people. The contact with them is very pleasant and it felt right as if you have known them for years. And as the icing on the cake, a stocked fridge upon arrival. What else does a person want? We can highly recommend these accommodations!

The is a family house, simple, pleasent and authentic. The natural surroundings are amazing. The silence is incredible. Meni and Andreas, the owners, are very nice people and we felt the love they invested in every detail. Thanks 🙏

Luisa's place is a magnificent little gem nestled in an amazing surrounding. It's the perfect hideout if you enjoy the tranquility of village life and hiking the mountains. The little house is beautifully decorated with local materials and furniture, giving it a warm and cozy feel. The view from the terrace is breathtaking! (also for looking at the stars at night) We thoroughly enjoyed our hikes in the mountains and gorges, and dining at the family tavernas in the neighbouring towns/villages, which offered delicious food. Luisa was extremely helpful and responsive, providing us with a long list of excellent recommendations for restaurants, day trips, shopping, and more. Thanks for everything, Luisa! We will certainly come back!

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!

Basil House is a beautiful, hidden gem in Kastri and we really enjoyed our stay here! The house is incredibly spacious, AC in every room and the VIEWS are wonderful. Also there are a lot of cute cats on the property. You can reach the village and the beach within 15-20 minutes and there you'll find everything you need. Haris was a very good host who gave us great recommendations. We highly recommend staying at Basil House! :)

Hospitable hosts, delicious desserts, a beautiful view from the terrace, close to the beach, are all you need for a vacation.

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

A cozy and spacious country house in an olive grove with everything you need for a comfortable stay. The kitchen has everything you need for cooking, a bedroom and a children's room with comfortable beds and large wardrobes for storing things. A cozy outdoor veranda where it is pleasant to spend both breakfast and dinner. Great WiFi for both work and study for a child. The house is a little remote from the city, which allows you to enjoy peace and quiet...but at the same time by car to the center of Sitia 5 minutes drive. The owner of the house Niki and her husband are very nice and hospitable people, always in touch with you and do everything to make your stay as comfortable as possible! We stayed here for a month but are already dreaming of coming back again!!!❤️

The host was incredibly kind. The house was extremely well-equipped, the outdoor space was enjoyable, and the house had a stunning view. We are deeply grateful for the host's warm hospitality. They generously gifted us with traditional Easter sweets, a delightful olive oil, and exquisite local honey. An unforgettable experience!

Charis welcomed us in a very friendly way and gave us many tips. The views are fantastic, a wide view of the sea and the countryside, various beaches are within walking distance. The house is located on a great property with many different seating options and privacy. From here you can take many wonderful hikes. For example, the coastal hike around Cape Kako Mouri and to Kalypso Beach is fantastic. We found Plakias itself a bit too touristy, even though we were there in the off-season. The weather can also be very changeable and stormy at the beginning/middle of April. For vacations in Plakias, we can definitely recommend the house!

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 :)

We had a great stay at Olga’s place in Kalo Chorio. It was such a short drive to the beach (or a walk if you prefer) that we went every day. The apartment was perfect for a holiday. The village was peaceful and quiet, so a good way to escape the busy cities. Olga was the perfect host.

Beautiful apartment located at the top of the village of Castellos, well-equipped, nothing is missing. Large quiet terrace with magnificent views down the valley. The people of the village are very welcoming and the Maria tavern is great. Good communication with Nikolaos, a property to recommend!

One of the nicest places we've stayed so far! The little house is secluded, complete tranquility & deceleration! We enjoyed the days here, the terrace under the house invites you to lie in the sun, read and enjoy the view. The view is amazing, even from bed. The path is adventurous and not for the faint of heart by car - extremely steep and more for ATVs, but we also managed with a small rental car. The kitchen is well equipped and everything you need is there. It's about a 15-minute walk to Mochlos! Very recommended to anyone looking for peace and quiet!

Highly recommended! Nice apartment with everything you need. Cristos's respond is really quick and in the apartment were gifts which we really appreciated.

We had a great stay at Maria‘s place. Her parents were so helpful! It is such a beautiful place! Thanks again!!!
