Charming loft in the Old Town

FionaRating, 5 stars2 months ago
We loved staying here for a week! The space is really lovely and homey. Near everything, including the waterfront. We felt comfortable and right at home. Weekends are a bit noisier in Chania, but that is unavoidable in the city center.

Gold Sea Place

SabineRating, 5 stars3 months ago
At Golden Sea Place we found exactly the peace and relaxation we needed. Very cozy and bright accommodation with stunning views over the bay. Sun loungers on the terrace in the sun or in the shade of an olive tree. At any time you can access a few steps to the private, rocky beach and throw yourself into the clear, turquoise waters. Manolis, the neighbor who takes care of the house on site, took great care of us and was always available. We also loved his dog very much. The neighbors in the surrounding gardens were also all very welcoming. We felt very comfortable. For the driveway from the road to the house, a slightly higher car is highly recommended (as for many roads in the southeast of Crete).

7Olives amazing SEAview suite no5. Olive Tree.

VeraRating, 5 stars3 months ago
Incredibly great view from the balcony. Alex the cat, who is the property manager, comes by regularly to check on his guests. He likes to paid in treats for his service. Yurga is a funny and helpful person. If you are a light sleeper you should bring earplugs as the fridge makes a lot of noise at night. Otherwise everything was great! Thank you very much!

Brand new ocean wave's villa!

RadhikaRating, 5 stars3 months ago
Well what can I say; we loved our stay in the villa. Pictures don’t do justice to the place. Ocean is literally your backyard and you can easily walk to many local places. Would highly recommend to anyone who wants privacy and wants to have. Private ocean. Would want to come back again to Giorgos place again

Pebble-near the sea

EvaRating, 5 stars3 months ago
Stella was very nice and the apartment was clean, spacious, and nicely decorated. We really enjoyed our stay with Stella. The parking was super convenient. The apartment is a few hundred meters outside of the town center, so the surrounding was very quiet. We highly recommend this accommodation.

Private Pool with Top Views - Full Privacy

NicoletteRating, 5 stars4 months ago
I’d come back again and again. If you’re up for a drive through the windy country roads, this is a must stay. It is a gorgeous property, the view is unbelievable, and it had everything you could possibly need plus some. And the hosts went above and beyond. We even were baked a cake! I am already planning my return trip. As far as driving to beaches and things, it was pretty easy and quick. It’s about a 12-15min drive down through the backroads (all paved nicely) and then you’re in kissamos. We daytripped to Chania and Falassarna Beach and Balos with ease. If you don’t mind driving, this place is well worth it!

Cueva del Pescador

EmilyRating, 5 stars3 months ago
This Airbnb in Red Beach was absolutely amazing. Mario is an amazing host and when I needed to rent a car, the car rental company was there to drop off a car for me in 10 minutes! Falling asleep to the sound of the waves crashing against the shores and the rocks was unforgettable. I cannot wait to visit again, this place is worth every penny and Mario’s hospitality is a 10/10!

Casa Alba Seaview House

CharlotteRating, 5 stars1 month ago
We stayed in this beautiful Apartment over Christmas and New Year’s and we had an amazing time!! The hosts were incredibly friendly, kind, and took such great care of us – that really made the trip extra special. The apartment is beautiful and in a perfect location, right by the harbor in the center of Chania. We were three people, and it worked perfectly for us – plenty of space to spend time together but also to have some privacy when needed, which we really appreciated as a family. I’d definitely recommend it and would love to stay here again!

Villa Seductive Seaview

AmyRating, 5 stars5 months ago
We had a great stay at Katerina’s. She was very responsive and helpful, and her husband George gave us some great recommendations. The apartment is comfortable and clean, and the view is stunning. We didn’t love taking our rubbish to the on street bins, as we were 5 people in a small car with stinky trash bags and the closest bin is quite a long walk. But we would still recommend and would be happy to stay again.

Villa Agellos

AshaRating, 5 stars3 months ago
The house was as described and true to the photos. The view is beautiful! The location is very windy during this period (mid-October). We did not use the pool but it was clean and added a nice holiday air to the house. The beds are very comfortable. We enjoyed having water bottles, good coffee and other touches when we arrived. He gave us some great tips for restaurants. We had a problem with the smell of sewage in one of the bathrooms. He went out of his way to quickly resolve the issue and communication was easy and enjoyable. Our ferry was almost cancelled. He graciously offered to stay longer. We highly recommend this listing! And thank you again for everything.

Beach Holiday Home 2, 20 metres from the beach!

ClaudiuRating, 5 stars7 months ago
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 !!!

Ninemia Villa II in Crete

TilmannRating, 5 stars3 months ago
Our stay at Ninemia Villas was absolutely perfect! The villa exceeded all expectations – it’s beautifully designed and provides everything for a relaxing getaway. A special thanks to George and his wonderful wife, who welcomed us warmly and supported us with valuable tips about the area. They truly made us feel at home. The villa was immaculate, with thoughtful details everywhere: from high-quality furnishings in the bedrooms and bathrooms to a fully equipped kitchen where nothing was missing. The private pool deck and the outdoor grill created memorable moments. The location is fantastic, just a short walk to Plaka Beach, and the private terrace offered stunning views. For anyone seeking an unforgettable stay in Crete, this is the place. Thank you, George and family, for your hospitality and this amazing accommodation – we’ll definitely be back!

Sweet memories in amazing Villa Eualia w pool

LaurenRating, 5 stars4 months ago
Our stay was absolutely amazing, we had a delayed flight so Giorgos gave us very clear instructions of how to get to the property and how to check ourselves in The villa is in a very peaceful village amongst the mountains and there is a very friendly neighbour next door who kindly offered us his vegetables and invited us to the nearby tavern The villa itself was spotless and matches the pictures exactly, all expected amenities are provided. The kitchen (outside and inside) was equipped with everything you could need There is a supermarket at the bottom of the hill that is excellent for everything you might need Giorgos was very responsive with any queries we had and it was no trouble getting hold of him whenever we needed him Would definitely recommend if staying at this property that you get a hire car, as it is in the tops of the mountains and a taxi to the airport was €35 and to the bottom of the hill roughly €10-€20
