Villa holiday rentals in Charkia

I can’t recommend the apartment enough. It was the best equipped rental I have ever stayed in and the location is beyond fabulous. A few steps down to the beach, the views from the terrace, 2 mins away from a handful of great restaurants, a cafe right next door and 15 mins walk into the main town. It has everything for a relaxed stay but everything on your doorstep when you want it. The house is as the photos depict - stylish and luxurious. A stay here will not disappoint! Loved every moment of it and wonderful hosts.

The villa is really nice! Me and my friends had a great time spending time there, swimming in the pool and having a big bbq. Thanks a lot for the stay

Beautiful Villa and great host. Lots of communication and very helpful. We had a lovely week and would recommend to others.

Adamantios is a wonderful host. The villa is beautiful and exactly as described in the photos. We were made to feel welcome straight away woth homemade cake and olive oil as well as other bits. Adamantios was quick to respond to any questions we had and jumped to our rescue when our rental car battery died! The villa is t really walking distance to anywhere so my top recommendation would be to get a rental car with good AC! There are very few places around the area to park in the shade so if you have rubbish AC like we did, the journeys can be stressful. Would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking to have a bit of space from the business of local areas and wanting to switch off at the gorgeous pool!

An absolute gem, we had an amazing stay at Maria's place. The house is absolutely beautiful, modern with quality all around. It's also super private with nothing but nature around you. Will definitely be coming back!!

Amazing place, nothing much to add, felt luxurious and the villa is equipped with everything you need. Would definitely return!

We stayed at Niko’s beautiful villa as a group of 10 and had an unforgettable experience. The villa itself was stunning, with breathtaking views that we enjoyed every single day. From relaxing by the pool to exploring the local culture and parties, everything exceeded our expectations. Niko was more than just a host—he truly became a friend. He went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and at home, always available with helpful tips and a warm smile. His hospitality made our trip even more special. I can’t recommend this place enough. If you’re looking for a memorable stay with an incredible host, this is the place 🇬🇷☀️💯

Absolutely top villa, modern, clean, quiet, all around top! From the villa you have the best view, absolutely outstanding. The only note is that the driveway is very steep, with our rented Fiat Panda we could not get up, but we could park directly in front of the driveway. We can recommend this villa to anyone who is looking for peace and relaxation, with a fantastic view. There are great, simple restaurants within walking distance.

Wonderful Experience at the Villa Elias! Our stay at the villa was perfect. The sea view was breathtaking, especially during sunset – a true sense of calm, quiet, and complete privacy. Choosing this villa was an excellent decision, especially because of the heated pool, which the kids absolutely loved. They enjoyed both swimming and playing in the spacious garden. The villa is well-equipped, with many useful items that made our stay very comfortable, including an air pump for pool toys. The location is also great – close to shops, supermarkets, and pharmacies. Highly recommended for families looking for a peaceful and convenient holiday with children. Wissam,

Lovely house nice a quiet and peaceful good location in the middle of the island easy to find. The English host / contact was brilliant very friendly and nice could help more and provided loads of recommendations

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.

A wonderful place to stay. The pool was gorgeous and the villa was spotless. Very peaceful during our may trip. Able to park right outside. Very responsive and proactive host

Beautiful place, great for families. Lots of toys and even a potty for the kids! Cleaner came mid week which was not necessary but so great. Beach is a 3 min walk. Really need a car to get there which was fine for us! Thanks for everything.

We loved staying at Petros's place. The location is picture perfect and completely serene, coupled with the stunning views - perfect getaway gem. The villa is beautifully designed with lots of places to explore and hang out in. Petros is very accommodating and all around helpful from assisting us in setting up the outdoor speakers to offering to make restaurant reservations on our behalf. We had an absolutely amazing time and hope to stay at the villa again when we come back to Crete. Highly recommend!

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!

Excellent stay with family, a real pleasure to have discovered Crete and to relax in the accommodation and in the pool morning and evening (and even a few lunchtimes😉). Services that match the location. A splendid and quiet view. Remember to plan ahead for visits because you have to hit the road as soon as you want to visit, however the city center, the beaches and a very good restaurant are within walking distance, pure happiness! A big thank you to the host and the different service teams who facilitate our stay. I'm validating!

We only have positive things to say about our stay at this Villa! Manolis and Zania were extremely friendly, helpful and were gracious enough to greet us upon arrival. They even filled the refrigerator with groceries for us. Everything was as advertised on the website . We loved swimming in the pool, played ping-pong and basketball almost every day . Each room had one large TV, a comfortable bed, fresh clean linens and large windows with a view of the beautiful yard. We also loved the fact that there was a washer and dryer. Everything was also within proximity; from beaches to Rethymno city centre, supermarkets and local taverns . We would highly recommend this Airbnb to any large group of people staying in Crete. This definitely won’t be the last time we stay at this villa. Thanks again Manoli and Zania for making our vacation unforgettable. Till next time!

Great stay in a quiet and sublime location. The property is impeccable, with excellent service by the owner who welcomed us with open arms with a service that allowed us to arrive without having to shop before arriving. Always helpful and attentive to tenants, who directly tells us the local activities and commerce. Perfect place to relax and recharge. Highly recommend it.

Super sweet people. Everything was well arranged. Despite the sandstorm, they really gave a top service. We even got pizza as an apology, while they couldn't do anything about it. Very sweet. Definitely a villa to go to sometime.

The best villa we have ever been to. We didn’t want to leave, the villa has everything you need. Access to the beach, whirpool, beautiful pool, bbq place. Amazing. Really impressed. I hope we will come back. Thank you!

We spent our holiday at Vasilios Villa from June 2nd to 14th with a group of 10 friends – and it was absolutely fantastic. The villa is modern, extremely clean, and perfectly suited for a group getaway. It’s also a great base for exploring the beautiful region of Crete. Despite being spacious, it’s located in a quiet area, making it ideal for relaxing. Daily service was excellent: the trash was collected every day, and the pool was checked and cleaned regularly. On top of that, the villa was thoroughly cleaned twice during our stay – the service left nothing to be desired. Communication with the hosts was exceptional. When one of the air conditioners stopped working, they responded immediately – even on a public holiday – and fixed the problem quickly. We truly appreciated their dedication and professionalism. All in all, it was a perfect stay and a holiday we will remember for a long time. Highly recommended!

We traveled with friends and babies (a total of 4 adults and 2 babies (8&10 months old)) to the villa to Savas & Maria and the villa was fantastically beautiful (even more beautiful than in the photos)! For our tour group, the villa was just perfect, we had our peace, could relax and the children had enough space to play on the giant terrace. Savas & Maria kindly provided everything necessary for our kids (crib, baby chairs, a small inflatable pool and plenty of toys). Cleanliness is very important in the villa, the villa was handed over to us in perfect condition! The villa was rounded off in the evening by the overwhelming sunsets! Savas & Maria were extremely communicative, gave us great recommendations and were always available! We would like to express our sincere thanks again for your warmth, hospitality and a fantastic stay! If we come back to Crete, we'll come back to you!

We had a great stay in this amazing villa. The villa is located in a high,quiet and green area 25 minutes from the city of Rathminoon. The villa is equipped with everything a family needs for a week. The space was beautiful and super clean. Maria is a great host with a big heart,recommended restaurants and hikes in the area. We were provided with olive oil,pomegranates , extra proximity and everything we asked for. It is a great place for a relaxing family vacation. The pool is clean and beautiful, the hot tub is hot and pampering for cool days.

This villa was the perfect escape for our holiday, the owner were super nice and helpful all the time. Thank you so much!
