Kid-friendly holiday rentals in Platanias

Our family of 8 thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. It's a classic Greek beach house with a lot of character and modern updates. We had plenty of space for our XL van, we loved the pool and of course the beach, and location was very accessible to restaurants and shops. The AC worked well throughout the house, kitchen was well equipped, and laundry and dishwasher were great too. Host responded to all our questions within minutes and was very flexible with scheduling.

The place was great. Location was perfect for us: close to some true gems food wise, beaches, wineries, etc. We loved it. We stayed 1 week, so we truly got a chance to enjoy it. Was also able to yoga in the morning with a view on the olive trees. All the little attentions made us feel welcomed.

We really enjoyed our stay at this vacation home. The location is quiet and offers a great view of the sea – perfect for unwinding. The house is tastefully decorated and equipped with everything you need. The landlords were friendly and helpful and made the stay pleasant. All in all, a nice house for a relaxing beach vacation.

The hosts were incredibly kind and welcoming. The place was super clean and everything well maintained. Just felt right at home with an amazing view, great beds and a beautiful atmosphere. Highly recommend!

Our family had a wonderful stay in this beautiful, luxurious villa. Emmanuel is a fantastic host- generous, welcoming, kind, and always helpful. We feel very lucky to have had the opportunity to stay in this very special villa.

Four of us, two couples, spent a very enjoyable week at Roula's stone cottage. A special and stunning location and suspect a rare opportunity to spend time in a traditional style house in a rural cretan mountain village. The cottage is very well equipped and comfortable. May be better suited to a family stay as the downstairs room has no separate access to bathroom. We enjoyed the peaceful location immensely- great to getup and have breakfast outside with the fresh air and distant sound of goat bells. We travelled to Chania or the beaches along the coast every day and certainly didn't find the village too remote to do so. Nearby Tavernas and gorge walk are a must. Roula, along with her mother, were always quick, helpful and generous when questions were asked and supplied us with eggs and oranges and some home cooked food. Surely one of the best hosts I've experienced on airbnb. Would gladly return.

Our stay in the apartment was perfect. The place was clean and had all the amenities listed online. We were able to park near the apartment which meant we could explore all of the local beaches and visit the old town. The apartment was located 10m from the beach, ideal for a early morning swim. We would love to stay at Georgia's place again :)

Absolutely loved this airbnb. Small deck overlooking the Chania Bay lighthouse and all the restaurants surrounding the bay. Airbnb at end and had a great restaurant (with blue chairs) that had great food. Beds were comfortable and back bedroom was very quiet as well. The owner met us at check-in and explained everything. Top deck was very nice to sit, my husband actually pulled out his laptop and worked on the table for awhile. He was in heaven. But we enjoyed sitting on small deck off living space too. Husband and myself w our two young adult children loved that we were so close to everything. Do not hesitate to book this airbnb.

We had an awesome week in Crete! The space was clean, with everything you need, and exactly as described and surrounded by olive trees, but what really made it special was the hospitality. They are absolutely excellent hosts, warm, responsive, and went out the extra mile to make us feel welcome! Truly rare form of hospitality that make us proud to be Greek. We will definitely come back. Εις το επανιδείν!

Quite simply one of the best places I’ve stayed on AirBnB, which is over a long time. The place is just about perfect, relaxed atmosphere, calm gardens - great cottage with superb views. A pool that they take great pride in (especially Nikolas’s father - and rightly so. He seemed genuinely upset when Sahara sand blew over but diligently went about getting it back to his exceptionally high standard). We arrived late, about 10:30 to a warm welcome and the chef happy to make us anything from the menu, the food is as good as anywhere locally. Very considered, well presented and served with genuine love. Everyone wanted to check my children were happy, and that all was well. Take a car so you can explore the beaches on the west of the island and we took a yacht for a day trip from Chania harbour, which was excellent fun. Really very good place Nikolas has built, his father - who is always around - is proud of his son and daughter, and I understand entirely why.

We had the best time staying at Tanja’s amazing studio. From the second we arrived, we were struck by the beautiful landscape of flowers and orange trees. The pool and patio were so peaceful and the studio was incredible clean and accommodating. The highlight of the stay was Tanja’s excellent recommendations of beaches, tavernas, and excursions. She was both incredibly friendly and communicative. We’d definitely stay again.

Great location, 20 metres from the beach. Lot of restaurants in the area within walking distance. Only 20 minutes drive to Chania town centre. Room is clean and cozy, slightly smaller bathroom but we managed ok. Have room service every other day to change clean towels and bedsheet which is really appreciated. Responsive host, and the neighbours are friendly. Overall we enjoyed our stay there, thanks for hosting us.

We were welcomed right upon arrival by Angela, super friendly and helpful. Angela gave us the feeling of always being available and finding solutions to any problems. We felt comfortable and well looked after from the first moment. The apartment has been cleaned at short, regular intervals, the bed linen and towels changed. The apartment where we stayed has everything needed for cooking, a very large terrace with two loungers, of which a covered part can be used, so even in rainy weather. The interiors are also large and spacious. As a conclusion, if we come to Crete again, we would definitely come back.

Beautiful place and great host

Great location, very short walk to the port, beautiful view of the ocean from the balcony. The host was extremely responsive and always willing to help make our stay comfortable! Apartment was very clean and the jacuzzi is a great feature. Multiple cafe’s/bars just downstairs with great food, drinks, and service. Highly recommend staying at this property if you want to be close to the venetian port and all Chania has to offer.

The apartment is very well located, just a few meters away from the beach. Everything is easily reachable by foot (supermarket, restaurants, beach, cafés). The apartment is bright, clean and modern with 2 big bay windows to the balcony oriented towards the sea. Possibility to use the washing machine and plenty of towels and bedsheets were available. Antonios and Vicky were really friendly and full of tips. During our stay mid October, restaurants were beginning to close for the winter season but plenty were still available. We would recommend this accommodation :) !

Our host was very careful for details, kitchen had all necessary stuff, fridge, etc. everything was clean. Host gift us welcoming gifts and that was lovely ❤️. Nice location, beach is close and you can go to supermarket in 10min on bus. And 25 min to Chania, bus stop is near. Living there was a pleasure.

Lovely apartment, very clean, peaceful and close to beach and shops. Nikos super responsive and helpful throughout the stay, thank you!

This is absolutely our favorite Airbnb that we've ever stayed in (and we've stayed in a lot). The place is adorable. Katerina is very responsive and lives right by the apartment. The view is wonderful, and both the living room and twin bedroom have doors that open onto that view. It has everything you need and more, with Katerina providing treats and even cereal and milk for that first morning. The air conditioning worked well, but there is also a lovely breeze from the sea. There are tons of restaurants and cafes just below the apartment as well as with 5 and 10 minutes walk in Old Town. It would be comfortable for a couple and a third person (such as a child) or two people, each with their own room. The washing machine was great to have, and you can dry clothes on the lines off the balcony. We did not want to leave.

Eleni is an excellent host: flexible, accommodating, and immediate replies. The accommodation is very nice, causey, modern, and it offers all a couple could need. It is value for money, and we highly recommend it.

The place was perfect. It was clean and had everything we needed. It's very close to the beach and there are many shops nearby. The host Alkis was very polite and always answers within minutes if we needed anything. He went out of his way to help us when we needed a hand. Not to mention that he offered us a drive to the bus station.

Room was clean, modern, simple and comfortable with everything a person needs.

This Airbnb is just like the photos and worth the distance from Old Town (about 0.4 miles). The terrace wraps around the entire flat and has many seating options in sunshine and in shade. It’s surrounded by beautiful, well-cared for plants with a stunning view of the Sea of Crete and of Chania itself. You can take the stairs or there is an elevator. The hostess left some local treats for us as well as a lovely bouquet of flowers! Absolutely top notch! There is also air conditioning if the fresh air is too warm. The hostess was friendly and responsive. This was the best of 4 Airbnb’s we stayed in throughout Europe. The only thing to note is that the electricity is only on when the card is in the holder by the door. So, if you leave with the dryer or dishwasher running or charging devices, they will pause until you return.

From the start, Sia and her husband were very warm and welcoming. At check-in, they walked us through the apartment, which looked exactly like the photos. The view is fantastic from the front balcony. Everything was very clean. Loved that there were electronic blinds for most windows. We rented a car and there was a parking spot available for us in Sia's garage. We did find the bed a bit too hard for our tastes (to each their own!), and we sometimes had trouble with the wifi dropping in the main bedroom. Overall, we loved Sia's place and would stay there again!
