Villa holiday rentals in Pithari

We absolutely LOVED our stay here. It was located in a more local area about 30-40 minutes from downtown Chania. We were surrounded by stunning views in the mountains. It was quiet, peaceful, and private. Sofia greeted us with such a friendly welcome and a delicious home cooked meal. She was very responsive too. We also enjoyed her local restaurant recommendations. The home itself is beautiful, it was lovely learning about its history and how beautifully traditional the home was kept yet equipped with many updated amenities. Note that renting a car is a must! We would highly recommend this Airbnb to anyone.

This place is a treasure. The views from the living room and kitchen are spectacular. The house has many clever features that are well designed. The area around Almyrida is fun to explore--go down to the beach or on a hike along the coast. Almyrida is a cute beach town, very welcoming. And we did several further from the town adventures. We had no idea that Crete has so much to offer--pottery in Margarites, beautiful beaches, intense hikes, exceptional museums, exploring Hania's historic streets. The property management team were wonderful to interact with. We felt so fortunate to find such a gem. Thank you!!! We sure hope we can return.

The villa was truly as described. When we arrived we were greeted by the hosts, who were incredibly warm and welcoming. The kitchen was well appointed and the area is perfect for families or really anyone looking to walk everywhere, including to a great beach and countless restaurants. Thank you Andreas for a lovely time and a perfect vacation. Ευχαριστώ!

Splendido!! Soggiorno perfetto da tutti i punti di vista! La casa corrisponde perfettamente alle foto e alla descrizione. A soli 20 minuti di macchina da chania. Ottimo servizio di guida offerto dagli host con suggerimenti riguardo a spiagge, ristoranti e attività.

Anna und Andreas sind phantastische Gastgeber. Eigentlich halte ich mich mit Bewertungen zurück, aber die Unterkunft und die Gastgeber sind einmalig. Die Location ist einmalig und für eine kleine Gruppe von vier Personen phantastisch. In der Nähe gibt es ein kleines Dorf in dem es neben einem Supermarkt und Bäcker auch eine kleine Taverne gibt. Zum Strand sind es ca. 15 Minuten. Anna und Andreas sind immer erreichbar und geben wertvolle Tips für Ausflüge, Restaurants und alles andere in der Region. Wir werden garantiert noch einmal versuchen in der Villa und den Gastgebern vorbeizuschauen.

Die Ferienwohnung war topp, es hat an nichts gefehlt. Gute Lage zwischen Flughafen und Chania. Besonders hervorheben möchte aber die sehr gute Kommunikation und Lösungsorientierung mit Effie. Ich hatte die Ferienwohnung für unsere Tochter (war damals noch 17 Jahre alt) und ihr Freunde gemietet. Effie war von Anfang an offen für diese Buchung und hat alles sehr positiv unterstützt. Sie war immer sehr schnell erreichbar und hat uns immer das Gefühl von Sicherheit gegeben. Als unserer Tochter wieder Zuhause war, hatte sie nur Gutes und Wertschätzendes zu der gesamten Reise geäußert. Effie war auch mehrfach in der Ferienwohnung und hat wertvolle Infos und Tipps mitgeteilt. Es war einfach alles nur sehr schön. Lieben Dank Effie!!

we stayed for one night in this beautiful villa and couldn’t have asked for better! It was private and peaceful, and check in was super easy! Our lovely hosts were so flexible with check-in and left us some treats for the stay, and then left us to be at home. It was so nice and clean and was so comfortable, we felt Right at home. Would absolutely come back. Thank you for having us!

Perfect stay, absolutely no complaints. The host was so welcoming, the house was amazing, and the view from the balconies are even better in person! Good amenities, close to the airport. Would highly recommend.

We enjoyed our stay at Markos Villa; all was much more than expected The large, warmed swimming pool was lovely, For sure, it is a place to recommend

Kann ich uneingeschränkt weiter empfehlen! Genau wie auf den Bildern und sehr nette Gastgeber!

Ein absolut traumhafter Aufenthalt! Die Villa bietet eine familiäre Atmosphäre – wir haben uns sofort wie Zuhause gefühlt. Die Appartements sind perfekt ausgestattet, sehr sauber und mit Liebe zum Detail eingerichtet. Der Pool und der Grillplatz waren Highlights, die wir täglich genutzt haben. Besonders hervorheben möchten wir den Vermieter: stets erreichbar, herzlich und unglaublich hilfsbereit. Bei jeder Frage stand er sofort zur Verfügung. Das absolute Highlight war, als er uns einen traditionellen kretischen Salat zubereitet hat – eine wunderbare Geste, die uns alle begeistert hat. Es hat uns wirklich an nichts gefehlt. Wer Erholung, Komfort und echte Gastfreundschaft sucht, ist hier genau richtig. Wir können die Villa uneingeschränkt empfehlen und kommen definitiv wieder!

Die Unterkunft war besser als erwartet. In Realität wirkte alles größer als auf den Fotos. Wir waren deshalb positiv überrascht. Der Blick auf Meer und Berge war schön. Die Gastgeber bemühten sich sehr und kommunzierten wunderbar. Wir könnten uns vorstellen, wieder zu kommen.

This is a 10/10 Villa. We have travelled a lot and this is by far the best Villa we have stayed in. We were a family of 9 (5 adults and 4 children aged 2, 4, 9 and 11). The views are stunning, the pool is big, all the rooms have private bathroom. Jacuzzi is also perfect for when the sun goes down! Theo was a wonderful host helping us, giving good recommendations and suprising as with some nice gestures. This Villa really is a Gem as the name suggests. As for the surroundings - it is 100% private! For me the best part was that there is a nice local village to walk to every night. There are some amazing Tavernas/Restaurants with delicious food and reasonable prices (also a mini-market). There is also a nice beach with a good restaurant and a nice cozy beach bar - it is only a 10 minute walk from the villa. And if you rent a car then it is a 10 minute ride to the Rethymnon old town, which is also a very nice place with lots of shops and restaurants. The Villa was worth every euro!

An unforgettable stay at Villa In Vivo! Our experience at the Villa was nothing short of exceptional. The villa itself is pure luxury - spotlessly clean, tastefully designed, and equipped with everything one could possibly need for a relaxing and carefree stay. What truly made our holiday special, however, was the incredible hospitality of our host, Panagoula. Even before our arrival, she was in touch with me, patiently answering all our questions and making us feel welcome from the start. We were greeted with such warmth at the airport, and upon arrival at the villa, we found delightful culinary surprises and a beautiful selection of fresh fruit waiting for us. The mid-stay cleaning service after four days was a lovely touch, and we are especially grateful for Panagoula’s tireless support after the stormy weather – and for the delicious, healthy meal she brought us during the week! You and your family are the best! Highly recommended – we’d return in a heartbeat. Thanks a lot!

Loved it!

A lovely, luxury appartment near the beach and about 30 minutes' walk from the old town of Chania. A well-equipped, clean and beautiful appartment, but above all the warm and friendly hostess Anastasia. She guided us around the area, brought local delicacies, stocked the fridge with food and even drove us to the grocery store with her car. We really enjoyed our stay at the appartment and can wholeheartedly recommend it to others. You certainly wont't be disapointed!

absolutely loved staying here. the views were gorgeous. had a small hiccup with the water when we checked in but as soon as I messaged the host the water was up and working within 15 minutes. very responsive and very helpful. definitely recommend!

We had an amazing stay for our honeymoon. It felt like being at a luxury resort! Christian even recommended in-home massages that we did on our first day after 20+ hours of travel and it was fantastic. The bed was super comfortable (I had back surgery so a good bed is important when picking a place) and with the total blackout curtains we got amazing sleep especially needing to adjust to the time change. We ate at Tersanas Tavern twice as it was an easy 15 minute walk away. You will need a car to get around staying here - and it’s more “off the beaten path” but we loved the privacy and space and wasn’t too far a drive to Chania. If you’re adventurous make sure to hike the Samariá Gorge - we organized it with a group (the drive is not for inexperienced driver!) it’s a 10 mile hike but so fun and beautiful! We cooked and stayed in a lot too I would highly recommend it to couples or families with children.

The stay was amazing! Amazing host and AMAZING location!! They were so helpful with telling us where to go and what to do and even gave us fresh eggs from their chickens as a welcome gift!! The views are unmatched and the pool was the best lounge area. Will definitely be back and recommend to anyone going to Crete!!

Wir waren als Gruppe von 7 Personen in der Unterkunft und sind sehr zufrieden mit dem kompletten Aufenthalt. Die Kommunikation mit dem Vermieter hat immer super funktioniert und bei jeder Frage wurde direkt geholfen. Eine Sache, die ich jedem empfehlen kann, ist ein Mietwagen. Die Lage ist super ruhig mit tollem Ausblick, aber für Aktivitäten sollte man mobil sein. Am besten direkt schon zuhause einen Mietwagen buchen und vom Flughafen starten. Eine sehr schöne Anlage und definitiv einen Urlaub wert.

Geweldige tijd gehad met gezin met 3 kinderen. Mooi huis op een toplocatie met prachtig uitzicht.

We had a lovely stay at Stelios Villa. Incredible beautiful surroundings, it’s a short walk into Kalyves, we didn’t realise until day 3 but there’s a small parade of beach bars and restaurants if you walk a bit further than we had been for first 2 days. The stay was lovely, the house was beautiful. We really enjoyed the village and it’s relatively slow pace. Stelios was very responsive to messages and very helpful too.

Toute ma famille a passé une semaine de vacances incroyable dans ce logement. L’environnement est magnifique et paisible. L’exposition de la maison permet une vue imprenable sur la baie, les couchers de soleil y sont mémorables ! Nous avons eu du vent certains soirs mais nous avions été prévenus pour penser à veiller à rentrer nos affaires et éviter qu’elles s’envolent. Il y a plusieurs jolis coins dans le jardin où l’on peut s’assoir, profiter de la vue et il y a assez d’espace pour que tout le monde ait sa tranquillité ! L’intérieur de la maison est très propre, très bien rangé et décoré avec goût. Chaque chambre a sa salle d’eau et WC attenants ce qui est vraiment très appréciable. Les hôtes ont été très accueillants et d’une gentillesse remarquable ! Merci pour ce merveilleux séjour !

Ein absolutes Superhost! Die Villa ist wunderschön. Wir haben die Zeit dort sehr genossen und würden uns jederzeit erneut für die Canna Villa entscheiden. Yannis ist jederzeit erreichbar und ein sehr freundlicher Gastgeber.
