Holiday rentals with a fire pit in Greece

We enjoyed a fantastic four days in Aris’ place, the views of the plateau and mountains are just beautiful! We felt right at home, and it was lovely to have Aris and his wife physically there at check in, a rarity these days! The images really don’t do this place justice, it is up some winding roads but we were prepared for that having visited the plateau in 2012. We can’t recommend staying here more, we really wish we’d have booked a longer stay! Aris had a fantastic hire car recommendation too, which was also great, and we had some amazing recommendations from them too. Thank you very much Aris!

The house is beautifully designed and well-equipped with everything needed for a comfortable stay—whether for cooking, relaxing, or keeping warm on chilly nights. The fireplace was a highlight for us after long days of hiking and climbing. Eirini gave us a warm welcome upon arrival, which was especially helpful since the road to the house is quite narrow. That said, we managed fine with an SUV (Dacia Duster). The location is perfect for outdoor enthusiasts, with plenty of hiking trails in the area. After a full day outside, it was great to return to such a cozy and inviting home. We were three adults staying for five nights on a hiking and climbing trip, and the place suited us perfectly. Highly recommended!

Fantastic old traditional house, well preserved and carefully modernized. Kind hosts eager to assist and give recommendations of nice nearby places to visit. Amazing view of the valley.

Wir haben den Urlaub in dieser Unterkunft sehr genossen, alles war einfach perfekt. Die Leuchtturm-Athmosphäre war super, in der Vorsaison absolut zu empfehlen, weil man aufgrund der Temperaturen noch viel unternehmen kann und wenn man wie wir das noch etwas kühlere Meer nicht scheut auch herrlich schwimmen kann. absolut zu empfehlen.

Absolut empfehlenswert! Mein Aufenthalt bei Orestis war einfach nur top! Die Villa war mit allem ausgestattet, was man (auch für einen längeren) Aufenthalt braucht und sah genauso aus wie auf den Bildern. Auf dem Gelände gibt es noch wenige andere Villen, aber man hat trotzdem ausreichend Privatsphäre. Die Lage ist eher am Ortsrand und sehr ruhig. Ein Auto während des Aufenthalts ist ratsam, da der nächste Supermarkt etc. zwar nicht weit ist, aber auch nicht direkt ums Eck. Orestis hat immer sehr schnell auf Nachrichten reagiert und auch proaktiv Tipps etc. gegeben. Ich habe mich sehr wohl gefühlt und komme auf jeden Fall wieder!

This was our favourite stay of the trip. The place is idyllic, with a private swimming area only a few steps away. The house is decorated tastefully and gives a really nice indoor-outdoor feeling with the large patio and sliding doors. The kitchen is extremely well-stocked with everything you might need to cook, including well-sharpened knives! Manolis brought us some fresh vegetables from the farm, which were delicious. Everything about the place is thoughtful and we loved our stay there. It is ideal for a trip where you want to spend a lot of time relaxing at the house and hanging out, it is so nice we barely wanted to leave!

Das Haus liegt sehr ruhig und außerhalb des Ortes. Der Blick über Pool und Meer ist einmalig und entspannend. Myrto gibt viele schöne und hilfreiche Tipps für die Gegend, Einkauf und Restaurants. Wir haben uns sehr willkommen und wohl gefühlt. Die Kommunikation hat toll funktioniert. Ganz lieben Dank dafür.

This place was a good choice for a long-term stay. Basic recreation is right nearby - just a few hundred meters away, there are hiking trails with beautiful views, surrounded by olive and orange groves. It’s also a great base for exploring western Crete in general. The house has everything you need if you enjoy cooking at home, but there are also some really nice restaurants nearby that serve tasty, home-style food. The host is super friendly and respectful of your privacy, which made the stay even more comfortable.

This was my fourth stay at this wonderful flat in Thermi/Thessaloniki, and once again, it exceeded my expectations. The apartment is always immaculately clean, and it's clear that the owner goes the extra mile to keep everything in perfect condition — it truly feels like a brand-new space every time I arrive. The decoration is tasteful and modern, with a great attention to detail that creates a calm, welcoming atmosphere. One of my favorite features is the balcony — it’s spacious, peaceful, and the perfect spot to enjoy a coffee or relax in the evening. The flat is quiet, comfortable, and very well-equipped, with everything you might need during your stay. Communication with the host is always smooth, professional, and friendly. I’ve returned four times for a reason — it’s simply one of the best places to stay in the area. I can’t recommend it highly enough, and I’ll definitely be back again!

Über die Wohnung kann ich nichts sagen, weil es einen Schaden gab und ich nicht dort wohnen konnte. Athanasia hat mich stattdessen in einem Hotel untergebracht und das war ganz großartig. Sehr gute Lage und sehr gut eingerichtet. Athanasia war sehr kooperativ und ich kann sie als Gastgeberin nur empfehlen.

Gabrielle est une hôte d’exception. Elle a su donner des conseils sur les environs afin que l’on puisse profiter au mieux de notre séjour. Toujours aux petits soins pour que notre famille ne manque de rien (jouets pour enfants, lit adapté, …). Je recommande le logement est confortable et dans un endroit paisible au cœur d’un petit village.

Notre séjour s’est super bien passé ! Le logement était très propre, confortable, calme, bien équipé et conforme à la description. Il est idéalement situé, à proximité de tout, ce qui est très pratique. L’hôte Emmanuel et sa charmante petite famille sont vraiment adorables, accueillants et toujours à l’écoute. Dès qu’on avait une question ou un petit souci, il répondait immédiatement et arrivait en moins de 5 minutes. On s’y est senti comme chez nous. Et que dire de la vue… encore plus incroyable que ce qu’on imaginait, un vrai petit coin de paradis ! Un grand merci à Emmanuel et sa famille, on reviendra avec plaisir. Je recommande à 100 % !

Couldn’t have been happier with our choice of air bnb in Athens! Location and presentation was even better than we imagined Loved the awning in the bedroom as I am a light sleeper and had the best nights sleep I’ve had in 50 days of travelling Our host was thoughtful a great communicator We would def stay here again

Anastasia was very accommodating and responsive! We booked last minute in order to get some sleep between our late arrival and early departure to and from Athens and Anastasia quickly accepted our reservation and was very kind and accommodating even when we got in later than originally planned due to flight delay! The space was clean and the bed was comfy! The apartment was super easy to find and access as well! Great experience and host :)

Un super logement, avec une très belle vue, assez retiré pour ne pas être dans l'agitation touristique tout en étant proche des commerces. Idéal pour se reposer après des visites effrénées. La piscine: très agreable. Une situation géographique idéale pour sillonner l'Ouest de la Crête. Appartements en décalés, donc on ne se gêne pas. Seul petit bémol, la douche qui mériterait vraiment d'être améliorée. En résumé, nous avons passé une magnifique semaine chez Franck qui est un super hôte, nous vous le recommandons.

I have just checked out after staying over at Stefanos ‘s penthouse for 4 days with 6 of my friends for my 50th birthday, and omg, this place is the most gorgeous place with the most absolute amazing sea views ever! We had the harbor right infront of the penthouse! This penthouse looks exactly like the photos! Even I must say, the photos don’t do it justice! It looks much better in person!! It’s so clean! Great decos! Comfy beds! Instant response from Stefanos whenever we needed something! It’s walkable to everywhere! Supermarkets are literally downstairs! Old town is a 10 min walk. So many restaurants around the area to choose from! I will definitely come again! Highly recommended!

Ακόμη καλύτερος από τις προσδοκίες μας τόσο ο χώρος όσο και η τοποθεσία! Ο Γιώργος επίσης υπέροχος, φιλόξενος και βοηθητικός! Μαγική διαμονή σε ένα παραδεισένιο τοπίο στη φύση! Συστήνεται φουλ φουλ! 🙂 Και σίγουρα θα ξανά προτιμηθεί!

Εξαιρετικό το σπίτι και η κατάσταση του! Πολύ καθαρό ! Η Ειρήνη απαντούσε πάντα πάρα πολύ γρήγορα όσες φορές χρειαστήκαμε κάτι ! Παρά πολλά πράγματα να κάνεις! Σίγουρα θα το προτιμήσω ξανά !

Wir hatten eine wunderbare Zeit in dem kleinen Tiny Häuschen mitten im Olivenhain – total idyllisch und perfekt für unseren großen Hund, der dort richtig aufblühen konnte. Viel Platz, viele Schattenplätze, und auch wir haben es uns auf den Liegen und in den schönen Sitzecken richtig gut gehen lassen. Birgid ist super herzlich, immer erreichbar und hat tolle Tipps für die Umgebung – ob Kultur oder gutes Essen. Wir würden sofort wiederkommen!

Abbiamo soggiornato in questa Traditional Guesthouse e ci siamo trovati davvero benissimo! Fin da subito Γιάννης e Μαρία sono stati molto disponibili, fornendoci indicazioni chiare per arrivare direttamente alla struttura (consiglio di seguire le loro istruzioni su Google Maps). La comunicazione è stata rapida e cordiale. La casa è veramente molto accogliente e abbiamo apprezzato l'attenzione e la cura dei dettagli. Consigliamo sicuramente questo alloggio a chiunque voglia vivere un soggiorno rilassante e molto piacevole!

Το σπιτι βρισκεται σε μια πολυ καλη περιοχη οπου ειναι ησυχα και γαληνια. Το σπιτι ηταν πανεμορφο και πεντακαθαρο, δεν εχουμε λογια! Μεσα στο σπιτι εχει οτι χρειαζεστε!! Ο κ. Θωμας μας εδωσε πληροφοριες για το σπιτι, ευγενεστατος και ηταν εκει σε οτι κι αν χρειαζομασταν!! Ανυπομονουμε να ξανα ερθουμε!!

Very nice!

5 αστέρια με την αξία του το ξυλόσπιτο, ήταν πεντακάθαρο και μοσχοβολούσε. ήταν υπέροχο και ένδειξη φιλοξενίας που είχαν ανάψει το air conditioner λόγω ζέστης για να μας υποδεχτούν. Είναι πλήρως εξοπλισμένο δώμα μέχρι και για ψηστήρι αν θελήσει καποι@ αλλά έχει και φυλλάδια να παραγγείλεις. Επίσης είχε φαρμακείο και πολλών ειδών αντικουνουπικα. Τέλος πολύ θετικό ότι μπορούσες να κλείσεις και μόνο ένα βράδυ.
