Vacation rentals in Magarikari

My family stayed for a month and felt welcomed and at home. We stayed during Feb so things were quiet but we made friends with the locals who are all lovely. The house is in a beautiful location and very peaceful - we had everything we needed and George was always on hand to help us when we needed it. We felt safe and taken care of despite the remoteness. Thank you to Antonis and his family for having us and being such hospitable hosts. We highly recommend.

We enjoyed a very pleasant 12 days at Manos & Sofi’s house at the end of January. The weather was perfect with 17 degrees and sun every day. A bit chilly at night but the house has heat, and comfortable blankets. Communication was great from the beginning, and they gave us some excellent tips on places to eat. The house is beautiful with sea and mountain views, an olive grove, and chickens and cats roaming about. It was a perfect escape from the gloom of Germany at this time of year. You will almost certainly want to rent a car. There are a mini market and a few restaurants within walking distance, but most things were closed for the winter, and public transport isn’t running regularly. We were able to get a small car from Hertz at the airport for about €20 / day.

Great and cosy stone house, makes you feel very welcome in a cute greek village. Location of Gerani is great and in good approximity to Episkopi beach and Rethymno. Has all amenities one can expect from a house someone actually lives in. plus Eleni and her Son are very nice. Keep in mind it's a small bed (firm yet comfortable). Directly park at the parking lot by Staras Tavern though, it is directly next to the house. All in all one of the few good and authentic airbnb experiences.

Lovely neat little apartment in a busy area but high enough up to not be too noisy. The lift is a real bonus, and it’s close to everything! Perfect for 2, I wouldn’t want to fit 4. Huge balcony with plenty of shade works beautifully as an extra room. We had lots of problems with the Wi-Fi but the hosts were very responsive and had it fixed fairly quickly, though it did end up very slow. I’d recommend and would stay again.

A really great apartment, super close to the beach (aprox 50m), close to supermarkets, restaurants, bars. Everything you need is a few min away. The apartment was delivered super clean, in the fridge I had a cold bottle of water and a bottle of apple juice, fruits on the table and butter&honey. Christos was very proactive, I locked myself out of the apartment (closed the door with the key inside 🤦🏻), I wrote him on airbnb and he was there in 10 min to help me out. Overall, a great place to stay in Rethymno and a super host !!!

Very nice villa, very functional and well located in relation to the beach, restaurants and supermarket in the village. Please note that only one of the two bedrooms is air conditioned.

At Vagelis' arrival was like in a home, very cozy, very friendly, very helpful, always approachable and straightforward. If you are looking for peace, you will find it here. It is an ideal starting point for excursions, not far from the beautiful beach of Episcopia, easy to reach many tavernas by car and quickly you are also in the town of Rethymno . The pool is extra large and nice for swimming, feels like a private pool ! The room service was very good, there were always fresh towels and was cleaned. It is a very simple place to stay, but it offers everything you need for everyday well-being, without much frills. The sunrises and sunsets can also be enjoyed here - right from the apartment you have fantastic views of the LEFKA ORI mountains and the olive plantations all around.

The place is fantastic, and just like in the photos - a villa in the mountains with a beautiful view, in great condition with plenty of amenities, everything was clean and design was tasteful and spacious. It's just a 15 minute drive to Heraklion or 5 minutes to the closest convenience store, and Theo was incredibly helpful, form navigating us to the area to helping us make dinner reservations to some restaurants, and was always available. Perfect location, perfect service. Miss that place already!
