Farmstay vacation rentals in Decentralized Administration of Crete

We absolutely loved this villa, Mania very kindly greeted us at Midnight as we had a late flight, and yes the reviews are right, she arrived with the most amazing moussaka and even made a vegetarian one. Mania was always available for any advice/recommendations and managed the tricky combination of being present but not intrusive. There was also a really thoughtful welcome gift of homemade food waiting for us. The kitchen was really well equipped, and super clean, we ate in a lot and enjoyed dinners on the covered terrace. We loved the pool, the kids especially, we spent a lot of time in the pool as it was very hot. The beds were comfy, the rooms all have their own bathroom, and terraces, there was lots of thoughtful touches throughout. The garden is beautiful and I don't think we managed to sit in all the different seating areas in the week. The winner for me was the decor, it was so beautiful, it was like staying in house in a Home Decor magazine. We will definitely come back.

We stayed at Irene’s for one week, at first I thought it was quite long but ended up we went out and about every day, up hill alternately go swimming. Attraction places are in the vicinity. We don’t have to drive far. Famous Falasarna is just 20 mins away. Irene’s apartment is very well equipped. We enjoyed her place very much, it is very comfortable and spacious. Her kitchen is full of plates, pots and pans, not only that, wrap, foil, etc are also provided. Irene is such a friendly and kind lady. She replied our messages promptly. She baked the cretan traditional pie for us. She left lots of snacks on the table for us on our arrival. Highly recommended.

What wonderful accommodation!! The view is splendid, a real pleasure to wake up facing the sea! The interior is tastefully and elegantly decorated and the cleanliness is impeccable! Marianthi was extremely kind to make us feel comfortable. A gem that I recommend! A real bubble of happiness

Our family spent a wonderful 14 days in Manolis’ house at the end of October. We fully recommend this place if you’re traveling with kids! Our twins spent nearly all their time outdoors, feeding the friendly cats, collecting stones, and playing in the treehouse – they were absolutely delighted. The house is spacious enough to comfortably accommodate a large family (we were 5 adults and 2 kids) and is beautifully furnished with a stylish and cozy feel. The outdoor area is perfect for children to explore and play safely, and the quiet surroundings made for a relaxing retreat. Manolis and his family were excellent hosts, providing everything we needed to feel at home and ensuring our stay was perfect. If you’re looking for a family-friendly destination with plenty of charm and warmth, this is the ideal spot. We would love to come back!

We had a wonderful holiday! Giannis was an amazing host—always there in a second if you need him, but also respectful of your space if you don’t. The accommodation had everything we needed, and Giannis made us feel right at home by welcoming us with a freshly baked warm pastry and a fridge stocked with citrus fruits, wine, beer, water, and more. The place offers a beautiful view, plenty of natural light, and a spacious terrace surrounded by lush greenery. If you're lucky, Hamlet the dog will stop by daily to say hello and spend some time with you — he’s a very good boy and demands belly rubs ;) One thing to note: the second floor has a low ceiling, so you’ll need to watch your head—especially in the bedroom area. Tall guests may also need to duck a bit in the shower, though it’s not as low as in the bedroom. We’ll come back :)

Excellent - the hosts, accommodation and location, all excellent. Sia, communicated at time of booking and before we set off and provided instructions along with a map to easily locate the apartment. She met us on arrival and talked us through the accommodation and provided a local map with suggestions on. Sia also provided a lovely welcome pack that included something for breakfast. Sia and her husband were available to assist if required. The accommodation was very clean and as per the details and photo's. It's location is in a quiet area and with a good view of the bay\sea towards Chania in the distance and the mountains. Golden Beach, Yannis Beach and good restaurants are within a 10-15 minutes walk from the apartment. Regular buses to & from Chania, which takes about 15-20 minutes. Well worth a stay at this location.

We had an amazing two-week stay at Kostas and Aristea’s beautiful traditional house in October. I was there with my sister, niece, and boyfriend, and we all loved it! The house is tastefully decorated with charming traditional elements like old photos and antique tools, making it unique and cozy. The kitchen is well-equipped, and the beds are super comfortable. The peaceful setting, surrounded by olive groves, with a magical garden, was perfect for relaxing. Kostas and Aristea are such caring hosts, offering homemade wine, fresh apples, and kumquat jam. We can’t wait to come back!

Nice house, very clean, located in a small quiet village. Garden with lemon trees and fig trees of Barbarie. Grocery store and bakery is a stone's throw away. Ideal for shining around the area (Matala, Phaistos, beautiful agiofarangos gorges). Bärbel who was making the connection with Manolis was very responsive. Recommended.

This is a beautiful home with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. It's in a quiet and beatiful location. The town of Peza has 2 tavernas and a bakery that are wonderful and within walking distance if you can manage a steep hill.

A particularly beautiful and imaginative place in the middle of nature only the mountains and the sky with us. Particularly friendly and warm hosts. We got to enjoy the last few days of our vacation in this paradise, wake up in the mountain view, and fall asleep so the stars can be seen from the bed. We thoroughly enjoyed the garden and its vegetables and the house and its specialty. The kids loved the place too. Thanks also for the flexibility with check-in and checkout, it was very meaningful to us. I hope we can make it again sometime and will definitely recommend to everyone. Thank you thank you thank you. ❤️

Villa olive was the perfect place for us! the place is located in a very privet area with an amazing view, the hose is huge and very special, compfortable and clean. sotiris the host was avialble for us the whole time with great recomandations about where to go and where to eat and it was a big upgrade for our vication . it was way more than we expected, both the house itself and sotiris. we will defently come back to this perfect place. greece in its best

The design with Moroccan and Greek style elements created a very special feel-good oasis. Very friendly welcome with finger food and other attentions despite late arrival. Great location off the beaten track.

Excellent! We had a great week at Katerina's place. The house is very nice, in a peaceful environment. The garden is splendid. The interior was impeccable: everything is clean. Kitchen is convenient and well-stocked with cooking utensils. The air conditioning and washing machine are highly appreciated. The location is convenient because it's close to Kissamos but quiet, and on the way to the southern beaches. Katerina was easily reachable. It was perfect!

Thank you Niko for accomodating us in your beautiful home. It was a pleasant stay and we look forward to coming back and staying with you. Place was wonderful and peaceful and out the way. Great view and great atmosphere.

Beautiful house full of modern upgrades. Stunning view of the sea from the pool. Plenty of space for our 9 adults to relax. Would highly recommend.

It was a real treat to stay at this property. The structures are lovely and very well maintained, and the setting among a private olive grove and swimming pool is special. Everything was just as pictured and described in the listing. The host was very nice, helpful, easy to communicate with. Within walking distance, there's nothing interesting in the nearby village, but there are some great hiking trails a short walk up the hill from the property, and the charming town of Archanes is a 10-minute drive.

We spent less than a week in this really great house. The small village is very cute, small tavernas within walking distance and the surrounding area offers a lot of experiences. For us as a family of 6, there was plenty of space and we really enjoyed the heated pool at the end of October. The cost of 50 euros per day for this is already steep - but with us three heating days have already been enough so that the water was warm for 6 days... but you then have to consistently cover the pool when you are not in the water, which makes sense for ecological reasons... absolutely recommended!!

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!

Konstantinos and his brother were the best hosts! The houses are located in a small village with good access to the road to Ellafonisi. The super nice garden with the Pool is perfect for a day off. Thanks for the pleasant stay!

We had a fantastic week at Harry‘s place. While the location is a bit remote, supermarkets and a restaurant are still within walking distance. For anything else, we had a rental car. The accommodation is excellently equipped. We were 7 people and more than enough dishes in the kitchen. We also made great use of the outdoor grill and pizza oven. Both the house and the outdoor areas are well-maintained, with someone coming every other day to clean the pool and tend the garden. I can definitely recommend this place to anyone!

This is an amazing getaway about 10 minute drive from Old Town. My wife and I invited a bunch of friends for my 30th birthday for the week - stunning views, beautiful home, newly renovated, with orange, lemon & cactus fruit trees in the back yard to pick and make juices and snacks

Fantastic experience start to finish. Minoas, the host, was communicative, welcoming, super helpful and very friendly. The villa was beautiful, just like the photos, and the views were stunning. The local beach is a great place to walk to and there are lots of bars situated there which also serve yummy food. Easy to drive to (rent a car if you’re flying into chania and want to explore more of the island) and very safe. Definitely recommend!!

We - a family of four - had a great week in this superb villa. The place looks as described and as captured on the photos. The garden is truly amazing and radiates a really relaxing atmosphere. We enjoyed watching the birds flying over the pool and drinking from it. The villa is very well maintained and equipped with everything you need. Peter and Georgia are great hosts. They were always very helpful and very responsive and made sure everything was going well. The pool is especially nice. Even though we had a bit more than 20 degrees Celsius during the day, we were really happy about the fact that it was heated and nicely warm. The whirlpool section is an additional highlight. All in all, super nice place, great hosts and no question that this is a five star place.

Stella and her family was friendly and very helpful while we were staying at her families beautiful villa. The villa is stunning and clean. It has all you need while you stay at the villa. Would highly recommend staying at this accommodation. Likely to return in the future! The peacocks add to this beautiful location looking over the mountains of Crete.
