Pet-friendly vacation rentals in Istro

Such a beautiful place, we felt we were in paradise. We took our own food so didn’t try the taverna but enjoyed dinner with a beautiful view every night and two nights we lay back a star gazed for hours on the deck chairs. The “almost private “ beach was delightful and we never had anyone there with us, so for us very private …

Everything was clean and cosy. The host was very friendly.

Having stayed in the area before, a quiet location was the most important aspect for me along with easy access to the beaches and a short walk into Hersonnisos. I couldn't have wished for a better location. The apartment was quiet with little traffic noise, compact and clean. The nearest beach was just a few minutes walk away with cafes and restaurants next to the beach. Hersonnisos itself was about 15 mins easy walk. The garden was a perfect spot for some sunbathing on those lazy days when you didn't want to leave comforts of home. It was an ideal suntrap. I didn't need anything from George on my 10 days, staying at Blue Coast Gardens -Juniper. but he was within easy reach with a whole host of helpful numbers and contacts made available, should have needed to contact him. It was great having a large comfortable double bed with good quality bedding and Aircon if it got too hot at night. All the equipment provided was in great working order, the apartment spotlessly clean. Loved it!!

We had an absolutely fantastic stay at Manoli’s! The house was stunning, nestled in a beautiful village that made our two-night stay even more special. The property was fully equipped with everything we needed, making it feel like a home away from home. The host was excellent, maintaining great communication. We also loved the nearby restaurant, which was superb and added to the overall experience. We truly had a great time and would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a relaxing getaway!

We had an amazing stay in Agios Ioannis. The house is beautiful, clean, calm, with beautiful views and a great garden. Perfect location to escape tourism and enjoy the mountains. We highly recommend and hope to visit again!

A pearl and a beautiful retreat in the south of Crete. The villa has everything your heart desires, a beautiful view, pool and a modern kitchen that makes every heart of a hobby chef beat faster. I will miss the morning and evening bath in the pool with the view. Since it has almost no light pollution, you can see a star spectacle and the Milky Way from the eyes. Secluded beaches are very easy to reach by car within 30 minutes, so a car is highly recommended. Doesn't have to be an SUV. Sam is available at any time and communicates very quickly. He or Lefteris is always available with tips and advice. Sam and Anel are more than super hosts and I can recommend their villa 200%.

We had a lovely stay at Mapia's home, everything was what we were expecting with the added bonus of meeting Mapia's parents and other members of extended family. They were all available if we had any problems (we didn't) but not intruding at all. George another family member, introduced himself and we could go to him if we had any questions. A lovely relaxing holiday, thank you Mapia 😊

Our stay in Mochlos was a dream. Right before season finished by the end of October. We did not feel like being in Airbnb but at a friend’s place. Maria’s place has everything you need (and even more). No matter if having breakfast on the terrace or watching stars at night from the rooftop - you’ll find your favorite spot. Mochlos is a beauty of a town. Despite its size coming with quite a variety of culinary offerings. Beach ist tiny but right in front of the house and the see is crisp and clear with an azure shimmer. Even without a car we did not miss (out) anything. The perfect touch of our stay was bumping into Maria on our last day. We loved it and will come back!

We had an exceptional stay for three in this home in Crete. The apartment is nice, very comfortable, and impeccably tidy. Everything was perfectly clean, which made us feel immediately comfortable. The proximity to the pool added extra comfort, ideal for relaxing after a day of exploring. Special mention to Maria, the host, who was incredibly friendly, proactive and always available to meet our every need. Thanks to her, our stay went as smoothly as possible. I would highly recommend this place for a pleasant and worry-free stay in Crete!

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!!

We had a wonderful time. The villa felt private even though there are two other villas next door. My friends and I loved the pool and how spacious the whole place was. We had stunning views of the nearby sea and town. Each bedroom has it's own bathroom. The only negative was the water pressure in the upstairs showers. Nota was very accommodating. She offered to clean the apartment during our stay and helped us arrange our hire cars. (From my group's experience, a car is highly recommended as taxis and public transport weren't great). The village, beaches and restaurants in the area were also great. Overall, my friends and I were very happy with our stay and would definitely come back.

It was the 2nd year in a row when we stayed at Mr. Mikhalis' property, and everything was as good as the first time. Superb view of the sea and mountains, large, clean rooms, well-equipped bathroom, discretion of the hosts provided us with all the elements for an excellent vacation.

If you're looking for peace and relaxation, this is the place to be. Vacation away from tourism in the Cretan mountains. We especially enjoyed the outdoor kitchen and pool very much. In September, however, it is much cooler on the mountain than on the coast. However, since a car is absolutely necessary anyway, we were able to avoid the beaches on windy or cloudy days. Konstantinos gave us great tips on request and we were offered 2x a free cleaning. Clear recommendation!

Nice quiet place in the hills. Very clean nice house and pool. But everyone needs a car on this location.

Private and quiet place to relax with a beautiful pool and garden (and lovely cats) in walking distance to Agios Nikolaos restaurants and beaches. Mel & Michael were wonderful hosts and I would come back anytime!

We thoroughly enjoyed every minute of our stay at Alexandros's villa. Alexandros met us at Heraklion airport on arrival and showed us the way to the villa. The villa had everything we needed for our 10 day stay, set in a very quiet, relaxing location overlooking olive groves and vineyards. The local tavernas offer an amazing selection of good quality food and they are mostly run by families. You can really enjoy the famous Cretan hospitality. Alexandros was always on hand to assist with anything we needed including restaurant recommendations and questions about the local area. We are already planning our stay next year! Thank you for everything Alexandros!

Beautiful house, clean, with air conditioning both in the living and sleeping area, mosquito nets on all openings, large garden totally private available with beautiful hammock under the trees, all overlooking the sea. Very kind and present hosts, they spoiled us with lots of local products and homemade by the owner. Very nice beach on foot. Otherwise, it is better to have a car to comfortably reach many beautiful places . Thank you very much and see you soon!

Fanatstic accomodation in a gorgeous village. Couldn't fault it. Thank you George

Beautiful house with all the facilities, better than the photos. The bedroom on the 1st floor is very large and comfortable with a separate bathroom and a large terrace to enjoy the view and tranquility. Pleasant and relaxing stay, Mrs. Maria had left supplies for breakfast, fruits and wine very kind and welcome. Everything was great.

After 12 days of stay, we can recommend this atmospheric, Greek, with all the amenities of a home. Two terraces allowed you to enjoy the view of the sea every day. The nearby beach requires a short effort to walk (a rocky descent from the mountain), but it guarantees peace and crystal water. In the nearby towns (5-10 minutes drive) you can find many well-stocked shops and, more importantly, great taverns with excellent food. In a word, we recommend "Katarina" with home. The owner took care of every detail - a nice welcome surprise and very quick contact. In addition, thank you again for letting us check in faster because we arrived at night. Katrina,s home, is the equivalent of traditional Greek hospitality. 🙂👍

The accommodation was super nice, lots of cozy places to stay. There are several accommodations in the area... small and fine like ours and each one of them somehow. 1x, neighbors were a little louder until 4 am...not bad, yet getting lively again and again. However, I would definitely come again. Nice war.

We spent a week at Margarita's house. This one matches the listing perfectly. It's a house "in its juice", but in an absolutely amazing setting, quiet and finally quite close to the places to visit. Margarita was a very kind, welcoming and caring host. She lives on the lower floor of the house, but remains very discreet. Her home has totally independent access. The view from the main room of the house is fabulous, same from the deck and pool. We spent long hours contemplating the hills, the sea and the sunsets. We recommend this place for its unique side. Even though the house is a little old-fashioned, it's nice to live in and comfortable.

If you are looking for a peaceful place to relax, look no further. Pacheia Ammos is a lovely town with beautiful beach & authentic Cretan restaurants. Just by walking around the village, you will feel like your life slows down a bit and the calmness comes to you. And the flat! Very modern, new, fully equipped and the bed and couch are super comfortable. What makes the flat even more special is the irreplaceable host family. They will really take good care of you and teach you what it is like to receive and give love to people around. Overall, my month ling stay in Crete was very warm and beautiful. I am really happy to have stayed in Konstantinos’s flat. Thank you very much.

It’s located in a super convenient spot which is nearby beach and restaurants. If you like sunshine,don’t miss this choice. Plus,the landlord is so kind and try the best to help visitors .
