Villa Epsilon Heated Pool
We had a wonderful stay at Villa Despina! The location is fantastically quiet, perfect for relaxing, and at the same time a good base for exploring the south of Crete. The villa itself is very clean, lovingly furnished and well equipped – from the kitchen to the beautiful outdoor area with pool, everything was well maintained. We particularly liked the warm hospitality and the little touches when we arrived. We felt right at home! A real highlight: the fantastic view of the surrounding nature and the sunsets in the evening. We will be happy to come back and can recommend Villa Despina to anyone looking for peace, comfort and Cretan warmth. Thank you for everything!

Luxury Villa Argo, private pool, Sea view, BBQ
Gorgeous view and beautiful property. Hope to make it back again to visit this peaceful paradise in Crete.

Casa Nougia
Absolutely perfect! Brilliant property and brilliant host. Despina was so lovely, gave us great recommendations and she even left us some food in the fridge for breakfast because of our late flight. She also brought us homemade wine and honey. Property even better than the pictures! Best holiday ever! Thank you!

Villa Anasa - A summer breath
Villa anasa exceeded expectations. The pictures don't do it justice, the attention to detail in the interior is impressive. We had a lovely stay and would highly recommend. Gorgios was a gracious host and helpful in every way possible.

Villa Athena - Heated Pool Pickleball Court
We enjoyed our stay here so much! Wow what a stunning home with the most amazing views and amenities. It was hard to want to leave to do anything else but enjoy the property! We loved the pool area with so many nice loungers and comfy seating. The outdoor bar was lovely and we had so much fun playing pickleball! The beds were so comfy and the kitchen very spacious. Jerry provided us with nice touches to get us started before getting to the market. And Aggeliki was extremely communicative prior to and during our stay. We felt completely at home and can’t say enough good things about this place!

Sardines Luxury Suites 2
This very clean and ultra-modern holiday home exceeded all our expectations! Such a warm personal welcome from the owners. A well-stocked refrigerator on arrival, as well as fruit, coffee and refreshments. Beautiful large private swimming pool. Fantastic luxurious enjoyment in all comfort with comfortable loungers and bathrobes/slippers. It was perfect for us, definitely recommend it and will undoubtedly come back soon!

Dejaview
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A dream vacation with friends – DejaView in Crete is a real gem! We were able to spend some unforgettable days in the holiday home DejaView – and it was simply fantastic! The house itself is modern, stylish and equipped with everything you could wish for. The spacious pool and the breathtaking view of the Cretan landscape all the way to the sea inspired us every day. But what really makes this place special is the host. From the first moment, he was incredibly warm, helpful and attentive - after a very short time, it felt as if we had found a friend on site. Whether tips for excursions, restaurant recommendations or just a nice conversation - he was always there for us and made our stay something very special. DejaView is the perfect place to unwind, enjoy and feel good. We will definitely be back.

Mochlos Beach Apartment
This was for sure one of the most amazing stays we ever had. The place is nothing but beautiful and Annali & Odi are great hosts. If you are looking for a peaceful place to enjoy yourself, this is the place to be!

Mondethea in Chania Vantage point home
This was the best AirBnb I've ever stayed at, and it really made our trip to Crete. Maria was an A+ host. She was extremely responsive and helpful and pointed us to all of the best beaches and restaurants. The house is in immaculate condition, very clean, and very spacious, and is only 10 minutes from downtown Chania. Thank you for everything, Maria!

Karavos View - A unique artists' hideaway Paradise
A short walk from downtown Kalyves, but far removed from the hustle and bustle of the town of Kalyves. Several good places to eat, with some services such as medical and a pharmacy, a couple small markets with enough provisions. The location had absolutely amazing views of the bay of Souda, very private and quiet. The property is secured by an electric gate, to keep wandering tourists away, in that this accommodation appears historical in nature, maybe all that’s left of an old kastelli, based on the rock walls. I could be wrong, but I would guess that the actual accommodation is what used to be the powder magazine for the old fort. We enjoyed the place immensely.

Casa Diosa
Perfect! superb, very well placed, clean, bright! Perfectly equipped, quality and up to the details! Fluid and thoughtful communication! “The cherry on the cake”, the orange grove in the garden! Amazing Living Room 🤩

Casa Marathi Blue Sky
Absolutely beautiful stay. Enjoyed our time there and would definitely stay again.

Beautiful renovated villa in Aptera
We had a wonderful stay in Aptera. The location was perfect; close to Chania and an easy drive to other locations in western Crete but still rural, quiet, and private. There's an incredible view of the mountains right out of the front door. Mihalis was really friendly and gave us many local recommendations. We highly recommend a stay here!

Stone Villa in Rokka, Kissamos, Chania
Absolutely beautiful place, we loved it! The outdoor areas and views are amazing! Lefteris was extremely kind and helpful, shared a lot of great recommendations with us! We’d come back in a heartbeat

Fiorella Sea View Pool Villa, Kalyves, Chania
A place to stay with a truly breathtaking view. We felt very comfortable. Our two-year-old son also found his way around very well and played with us at the pool, but of course you should always keep an eye on him. Overall, the accommodation looks much more spacious than in the photos and is well equipped. We didn't miss anything. There are even dumbbells for sports and chairs and umbrella for the beach and a potty for children. Communication with Eleni went very well. She always reacted quickly and made everything possible. We will be happy to come back.

The Little Pearl
A quirky hippy tiny house, small and cozy, with super nice garden to chill out! All beaches and places such as Matala, Agia Gallini etc. within easy reach! The village with its 5 restaurants and cafe is almost around the corner within a 3-minute walk! Ciara, the warm and friendly contact person on site, gives good tips and is always available! :) Only flaw, the washing machine was broken. A good place to find peace and quiet! Recommended!

Villa Iro - Private Pool, Views & Tranquility
We had a wonderful stay at Evangelo’s place. Check in was smooth and we were met with some groceries which was helpful. Always replied quickly and with helpful information. The views were incredible and very peaceful. Due to its remote location, you need a car but it was perfect for a quiet getaway. Some special memories here :) thanks!

Wave, an Idyllic Seafront Suite
We spent wonderful and relaxing holidays in Dimitri's apartment. The apartment is fantastically beautiful and tastefully furnished, with high-quality furniture and it really lacks nothing. The terrace has a unique beautiful view of the sea and we spent many beautiful hours there. Dimitris is super friendly, always available and with helpful tips for excursions, restaurants, etc. he helped us a lot. He also organized the transfer from the airport and it worked out perfectly. The location of the apartment is also perfect. Supermarket and restaurants are within walking distance and the bus station is just across the street. We highly recommend the apartment, for us the most beautiful so far and we will gladly think back to the time and come back soon.

Nostos Cave Seaview Apartment in Matala
We had an awesome time at Nikos’s place, he gave very useful tips and his apartment is at walking distance from everything in Matala(as the village is very small). As mentioned in other posts, there are quite a few steps to the place but you get used to it, and it’s a great workout after a big dinner in one of the restaurants below. One of the days it was too windy to be on the beach so we stayed on the terrace of the accommodation with a great view of the sea, the sound of the waves and privacy from others. Perfect for a romantic getaway. Thank you Nikos!

Livikos House, Lentas
Fantastic! Ideal for those who want to recharge the soul. An incredible location, an incomparable view. A selected beautiful & personal decor. We felt immediately welcome. 7 wonderful days. Thank you and happy to come back :)

Amelia Luxury Living, Old Town Chania
Highly recommended if you want to partake in the experience that is old town Chania. Lots of cute bars and restaurants around in a cute alleyway. Perfect for people who enjoy the muted sound of enjoyable night life.

Peaceful, Seaview Plagia Room 1
Very nice place, quiet, village and restaurants nearby. Central on the west coast of Crete. Easy access to coastal sites and cities (by vehicle). Well arranged and decorated accommodation. Very responsive hosts. Highly recommended.

Southern Crete Panoramic House
Very quiet place with amazing views. We really enjoyed our time there. The house is well equipped and has everything your heart desires. In the surrounding villages are very beautiful beaches, which were hardly visited, as well as small tavernas with super tasty and cheap food. We felt very comfortable.
