Vista Mare Villa Heated Pool
We were there during the fall holidays and can warmly recommend the house. Since we had a rental car, the place was easy to reach. You have a private parking space and we felt very comfortable and safe, as the houses are additionally secured by a gate. The location is a bit remote, but very private and quiet. The view of the ocean is breathtaking and the private pool was just great. Everything was spotlessly clean, the beds were cozy and the furnishings in the house were perfectly adequate and very modern. A dining table is not available in the house, but that did not bother us in any way, as the weather in October was still so good that we could always eat outside. Maria helped us check in and gave us good excursion tips almost every day and inquired if everything was okay. The photos of the description are true to the original and reflect exactly what you actually find. We were super satisfied

Agrielia Villa I, featuring Heated Spa Whirlpool
Perfect stay. The villa is beautiful, very clean and nice. Located 15 minutes by car from Rethymnon. Perfect for exploring the western part of Crete. Beautiful view. Very easy house to stay in. Excellent pool and Jacuzzi (2 seats). Cleaning done halfway through the stay. One of our best stays.

Pool house close to the beach
Very nice place ! Close to lots of places to go , very helpful host !

Calma Seaside Villa, private pool, 30m from beach
We really enjoyed our stay. The accommodation is very lovingly furnished, clean and has a fantastic location right on the beach. The surrounding area is perfect for sightseeing (close to Chania, Aptera) and hiking. The hosts were very easy to reach and very friendly - there were even some Greek delicacies to welcome us. We would love to come back and can highly recommend this place! Thank you very much!

Rental Skaloti House
The villa is absolutely gorgeous. It is in a small town with no facilities (apart from a very informal cafe next door), but the quiet area was exactly what we were looking for. Yes there are some dogs etc, but not excessive, the noise is just local life in the town, which was actually really lovely. The hosts were extremely communicative, we had a few minor issues, but they were sorted in a matter of minutes! Loads of tavernas, beaches, supermarkets within a very short drive, spoilt for choice for loads of amazing food. Highly recommend a stay here, the villa, area, food and people were all fantastic.

Aegean Sunset Villas & Spa - 'Villa Sun'
Beautiful villa - wonderful hosts. Couldn’t have done more. Many thanks

Monte Carlo Villa 3BD 4BA Seaview
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.

Guesthouse by the pool
Fabulous house and location. Clean and stylish with very comfortable beds. Very handy for the beach and town and very close to the supermarket. An exceptionally beautiful part of Crete.

BreathtakingView Premium House by VillaDirectlyCom
We loved every day here! Very high-quality amenities, tasteful and cozy furnishings, kitchen is well equipped (everything you need for cooking and enough to fill a dishwasher), very clean and fresh towels and bed linen, fantastic view (all 5 terraces!) with wonderful tranquility, and an extraordinarily warm welcome package (wine, milk, fresh fruit, vegetables, honey...). Very special!

7 bedroom villa with pool, 700m from the beach!
The vila is like in the pictures, with a lot of space and a good position with view to the sea. ✨

Althea Maisonettes-Polymnia
Our family stay was even more enjoyable than expected. We quickly felt right at home. The house (Polymnia) is exactly as described and illustrated by the photos. The view and environment are amazing, while the pool delighted the children. The house is perfectly maintained and clean. The beds are comfortable and the air conditioning in the rooms is very efficient. The overall equipment is complete. The kitchen has all the necessary equipment for cooking, with basic condiments as well. Chrysi is an extremely available host, pleasant to contact. Very responsive, she always responded to our requests, no matter how small. She loves her region and does not hesitate to share her knowledge through valuable advice. We would recommend this simply magical place without thinking twice.

Villa Nathalia---peaceful and relaxing!
This is a great place to stay in if you are looking for a lovely villa and pool in a very quiet and private location. The main sound is the goat bells ringing across the hills, yes really! Although it’s in the countryside there is easy access to the coast and the nearest village Vamos. Recommend trying the restaurants in Vamos. The hosts Judy and Mike are fantastic and are there to help if needed but otherwise give you space to enjoy this lovely place. Thanks very much Judy and Mike!!

Aetofolia - Eagle's Nest
This is our second stay at Sofia’s house, just as lovely as before. Sofia is a great host always ready to help. The view is amazing as always and the food delicious. A very relaxing holiday.

10' from center & 8' to beach-Smart area !
Welcoming and responsive hosts. Comfortable, pleasant and functional accommodation. Located in the quiet of the city, while remaining less than 10 minutes from the city center. I would highly recommend...

Villa w/Private Pool, Play Area, BBQ & Pool table
Amazing villa in an amazing location. Great for the family. Manos and his team could not have been more accommodating or helpful! We had a really great stay.

Private Villa Freedom , oasis W/ pool
A little piace of heaven! This is not just an incredibly beautiful villa with a gorgeous garden and pool. There comes so much more with this stunning location, from the peaceful surroundings to Irina's attention to detail and kindness. If you are looking for a place to relax, recharge and enjoy Crete far from tourist spots in complete privacy this is your place.

The Seaview House
We stayed at Thomas's house for a relaxing, car-free beach holiday at the end of September. The house was very comfortable, with a lovely garden overlooking the sea that was perfect for outdoor meals. Bakery, supermarkets, a few neighbourhood restaurants and sandy beaches all within walking distance -the nearest beach is about 10 minutes' walk with two more slightly further. Chania is a short bus ride away. Thomas was a charming and helpful host, who made us feel very welcome.

Casa Teo Apt2
This was probably the nicest AirBnB we have stayed at . Everything was well put together and the amenities were incredible. Directions were very clear with links to Google maps on how to find the place. The kitchen was supplied with every utensil one could ever need. Hosts left welcome food and snacks. The house was clean, modern, and felt like home. We had one small issue when we were there, and the host team replied within 45 minutes, making it one of the most responsive hosts we’ve worked with. I would hands down stay here again.

Cozy family apartment in a stone house
A beautiful, functional, new and clean house in a colourful and a peaceful village. The village located on a mountain and the weather there is amazing. In a 15 minutes drive you will reach beautiful beach - so you win tow different geography in one stay. The communication with the owner was excellent - fast responded for every question and need we had and helped use get along. Warmly Recommend!

Gianna Sunset house
As a young family our stay at Gianna’s was exactly what we were looking for. Plenty of space in the garden for the kids to play and a playground to use, A grill in the yard, sun beds and a hammock to rest and read a book. A 10-15 minute walk to the main beach and restaurants. A great location to start the incredible hike to the gorge with Monastery.

Vamos Fabrica House- Family Apartment
The house is in a great location in a quiet village. It is an ideal place to get quiet from the city's noise. A stone house from an earlier era that has, of course, been renovated but at the same time has kept the character of an old village house. Mr. Frantzeskakis was very helpful and friendly. Thanks for all! Until we meet again!

"Avli Village Home" with Outdoor Jacuzzi
Our stay at Despina and Panagioti's home was truly exceptional. From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed and felt right at home. The house itself is clean, beautifully designed with a modern twist, and perfectly situated in the heart of a friendly and inviting village. Every detail in the home has been thoughtfully considered, creating a comfortable and stylish environment. The villagers were incredibly welcoming, adding to the charm of our stay. We couldn't be happier with our decision to stay here and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a delightful and memorable experience. Thank you, Despina and Panagioti, for your outstanding hospitality. We hope to return soon!

Cretan House Antonis
Very nice house, tastefully furnished and decorated, with all the amenities, large kitchen, barbecue, etc. Outside we enjoyed the large, very shaded terrace. The courtyard offers great privacy. The nearby village is very pleasant on foot, and offers many restaurants and cafes. Everything was perfect, I recommend it. A big thank you to the owners for their responsiveness and attention.

To Spiti tou Vafi - "Vafis House"
We had a perfect stay in Maria's house. It is spacious, super clean, and with a big terrace. The location is also very good: the village of Sivas is very charming, with nice tavernas, and Matala is very close by car. I recommend!
