Vacation rentals with a pool in Daratsos

10 out of 10! This villa was absolutely perfect for our week in Chania! Clean and spacious, plus a very nice pool that’s kept at the perfect temperature for swims at any time of the day. Lia was so lovely and made us feel right at home. We will definitely be staying here when we return.

We were a party of five, my wife and I and 3 30 year olds, our two twins and a son-in-law. We all couldn't say enough good things about this home: the view has to be one of the best on the whole island, relaxing, extremely private and immediately felt right at home. Starting and ending each day with that view, I didn't need anything else, but there is as much to do as you want. For example, just 6 minutes down the hill, you have the great little town of Platka with a few delicious local restaurants, market and a nice sports bar if you want a cocktail...like me. Another 10 minutes down the hill you come to Alymrida, the small coastal city that has nearly a dozen varied restaurants right on the water. 40 minutes away is the charming city of Chania, the jewel of Crete. This home is centrally located, 20+ minutes from the highway to go anywhere you wish to go...but keep in mind your leaving this view behind. I hope you enjoy it half as much as we did.

Alexandra’s place finished off our holiday perfectly. It was better than the photos, with everything you needed. Cristina was great, very friendly and helpful, happy to welcome her to Australia if she comes for a holiday. There are quite a few restaurants around and it is only a short drive into Chania Old town (depending on traffic). The location was great as you could book tours or hire a boat. From this location we went to Balos, winery, olive oil tour and got to know the area. Would definitely stay again or recommend friends to stay. Thanks for making Crete so memorable.

Wonderful House in beautiful surroundings, big garden, great pool, great views. We really felt at home, every kitchen tool an all necessities were there, shelves full of books in english, german an norwegian language. Eivind is a very nice host who answered promptly to all questions and provided valuable recommendations for nearby restaurants and beaches. We had a wonderful time on Crete!

We stayed at the end of October and could not have been happier with this villa. it was spotless, spacious and comfortable for 4 adults and 4 children. The access to the water park for free was excellent for the kids and the last day of opening for the season was on the day we left. The facilities were excellent and the lovely pool and outdoor barbecue area were all great to use. Lots of local supermarkets and restaurants within a km and good access to the beach. It's a first floor property which might be an issue with the steps but we liked having views from every room to the sea and beach. We couldn't really ask for anything else in our stay and if we come back to Crete we would look to stay here again. It's a short drive from Chania. The hosts were really friendly and helpful, offering help with hire cars and local amenities, but they left us to it. We had a great holiday in Crete and a lot of this was down to this superb accommodation we were lucky to find available for our stay

We loved our stay there, the villa was very clean and fully equipped with all the necessities and more. The villa and whole area was calm and relaxing, the pool was great and the house was comfortable.

A little gem in the quiet village of Stavros. Ideal for couples who want to relax in a peaceful environment. The beautiful little house is ideally situated, in a quiet neighbourhood and within walking distance from a number of restaurants, supermarkets and the famous Zorba Beach. George has made excellent use of the space in the house, which is modern and spotlessly clean. We had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The real wow factor is the outside space. A large private terrace with comfortable furniture, high quality sun loungers and of course our own, private pool. George is very friendly and is always available should you need any assistance with anything. A super host and we highly recommend this lovely house. Fabulous!

Giorgos’s apartment was amazing! It had everything we needed and was walking distance to a shop, the beach and some nice local restaurants. We wouldn’t hesitate to come back again!

Amazing place to stay, it was immaculate and very modern. The location to the pool and local amenities was fantastic. The studio was regularly cleaned and staff were on hand to contact should we need them. We would definitely stay here again and would highly recommend.

It was super nice here. We were warmly welcomed and communication went smoothly. The place is as shown in the pictures. You are a bit at the mountain up, which is super nice as it is much quieter there. You can walk to town and the beach. We were very pleased.

When we stumbled upon this incredible Villa on Airbnb, it seemed almost too good to be true - but fortunately, it exceeded our expectations in every way! Christine is an exceptional host who went above and beyond to ensure our stay was seamless. From providing us with comprehensive information to giving us a warm welcome and tour, she truly thought of everything. The Villa itself is absolute perfection! The spacious kitchen is impressively well-equipped with high-end appliances, the beds are extremely comfortable, and the two bathrooms are sleek and luxurious. Every detail has been considered, with amenities like an iron, ironing board, washing machine, blow dryer, and more. The view from the expansive terrace is breathtaking both day and night. And the location? Idyllic - nestled high in the mountains with no neighbors in sight, yet just a 20-minute drive to Chania's city center. We feel incredibly fortunate to have found this gem and can't wait to return!

The Appartement is super nice and George is an very easy host. The kitchen is small, but there is all you need. The beds was very good and there was plenty clean towels and bedsheets. We had wonderful 11 days there.

We booked the apartment 16 days in November, used the kitchen and have been in Chania a lot. On the rainy or cool days it was nice to be in the living room, enjoying the view and relaxing. We really appreciated the proximity to the small but beautiful beaches.

We had a wonderful stay at Claudia and Marco's. The apartment was spacious and perfectly equipped, private terrace, very quiet and beautiful environment (we were surrounded by olive trees), superb sunsets, and the pool was amazing. Claudia and Marco were available for any questions and very kind. We recommend!!!:)

The apartment was well equipped and it was located in a quiet little village. When we arrived, there were already essentials in the fridge which was much appreciated. The apartment was very clean and very well equipped for a short or long stay. The pool was very clean and we had four chairs booked for our place. The sandy and pebble beaches are a reasonable distance from the apartment; there are several to visit in Crete.

The apartment is amazing and very clean, the surrounding is very calm and peaceful. The host is very respectful and very helpful, we had an issue and she was very responsive in fixing the issue immediately without delay. She’s very caring for her quests. Would definitely stay here again.

What can I say- such a wonderful place I almost don’t want others to know about it! Sofia was so kind and full of recommendations. Manos from villas4u was very helpful and responsive. We were lucky with the weather in late October and the extra for the heated pool was worth it to be able to use it every day. As a family of six, we had plenty of space to relax and spread out. The various terraces helped us get our dose of vitamin D. The nearest big supermarket is about 15-20 mins away. Same for gorgeous beaches and grey restaurants. We were looking for a private, relaxed time and we got that in spades. We did small trips to Lake Kournas, to the beach, to the monasteries (Chryssopigi is very friendly and we got a great tour!) Sunrise from the top terrace was an addictive way to start my day. What a breathtaking place. The only small things to mention are that the Google map linked from here took us too far. So be aware of that! We would love to visit again soon. Thank you!

Absolutely amazing host and villa. Kosta and his office were brilliant and when we got to the villa we were met by Stella. She could not have done more to make our stay any better; communication was seamless, so many local suggestions, local produce left throughout the stay, the loan of a stoneware pot to use in the pizza oven over tonight to slow cook vegetables, honestly everything and more. The villa is exactly like the photos - stunning. Breath taking location with a view we all miss now we are home. The layout of the villa is excellent; it is beautifully decorated, the outside kitchen area is perfect and much used. The landscaping is wonderful, and the pool is gorgeous. The villa was meticulously cleaned throughout our stay and the pool and garden maintained to the highest standard. We had the most wonderful holiday; thank you so much Stella and your team for everything.

Great week spent just relaxing and had everything we needed. Pool was a great relief to the heat and visiting the local supermarket meant we cooked several times int he bbq and had breakfast looking over the views. Communication was great through out with some good recommendations. Loved that we had a mid week set of new towels / sheets and rubbish removed. It was just what we wanted - relaxed in a lovely location close to amenities . Thank you x

The property is beautiful and location just perfect just a 15mins bus ride to the harbor which is full of nice restaurants and shops etc. The property is a short walk to the beautiful beaches with a few beach bars with nice food and drink and restaurant not far away with very nice food. Thanks Angelos for all the assistance and recommendations of place to go

We had the most beautiful holiday from start to finish , Poly was the best host ever kind helpful and a lovely person , we were able to relax and enjoy every minute of our holiday , we would definitely book here again , the house was luxurious with soft white towels and sheets that smelled amazing everything was spotless , Valia was extremely good at communicating everything we needed to know . Thank you for a wonderful time .

Great villa with everything you need. It is fairly close to Chania center, about 15/20 minutes by car. The villa was very clean and they even offered us to clean the villa and change towels and bed sheets during our stay. Effie was very welcoming, with some gifts and local products when we arrive and when we left. They were very reactive, and provided with what we needed. For example, they came to give us a baby bed and chair as we did not indicate we were coming with one. The garden is spacious, with some great area to have an aperitif or lunch/dinner: there is a big table in the shadow which is a plus. We strongly recommend and would come back with pleasure.

We had an amazing stay at Lily’s cottage. The space was exactly as beautiful as the pictures show. Everything was clean and comfortable. Lily provided us with lots of great local recommendations making for a quite lovely stay.

We had such a lovely stay at Manolis’ house. Our family of 7 (incliding a 2 & 5 year old & my 75 yo mom) all loved our visit. Manolis met us and gave us such a warm welcome with so many local tips and recommendations. It was even more beautiful then the photos and full od beautiful family heirlooms. The village of Amari is beautiful and peaceful and the villa is perfectly located in the middle of the village right next to the taverna. The views are amazing, the pool an numerous patios are gorgeous with stunning views and it is so peaceful and private. There were so many lovely complementary foods from the local vendors on arrival which made us feel right at home. Rumy cooked us the most amazing meals we had in the region that were so incredibly delicious! Do not miss her meals! She modified multiple dishes for our dietary restrictions. She is truly a masterful chef and such a wonderfully warm person. Our kids loved the home, pool, outdoor cats & Rumy! Everyone was so kid friendly!
