Holiday rentals with a fireplace in Decentralized Administration of Crete

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Marianthi's and Thodoris' house. The sea side view is just epic; from the hammock you can just chill, look over the sea and the mountains and feel the soft sea breeze. They are truly wonderful hosts, and they quickly responded to any requests from our side and provided us with nice suggestions on places to visit. The house was just beautiful and well cared for, especially the garden and patio were wonderful for our young kids who loved exploring and picking up lemons, that we used to make an amazing lemonade. Many days we started the day by walking to the nearby beach so that the kids could make sandcastles and we could relax into the day. We also enjoyed the restaurants at the beach that have a decent selection and good quality food. We would highly recommend this place to anyone, but especially to families with kids.

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.

Great place directly opposite the beach - fantastic if you have toddlers like us. We ended up having dinner at the restaurant next door every day because the kids could play out there while we ate. If you want to visit the most beautiful beaches on Crete, this west coast location is great (though it should be noted that the beach near the house is actually facing north, which means it is thankfully not frequented by tourists). The host is very friendly and willing to help with any issues. The airbnb was very well equipped and prepared for our visit (including items we would not ordinarily expect like fruit, cake, and even a dinner on the first night - though we obviously knew about it based on previous reviews). We would come back here in a heartbeat!

The owners of this place were amazing! They were so nice! The apartment is very clean and organized. The view is absolutely stunning from this place! Recommending everyone to stay here! Would stay here again if we ever visited!

The Arch House ist ein wunderbarer Platz mit schönem Garten und Blick in Olivenhaine. Innen ist es liebevoll gestaltet und wirklich gut ausgestattet. Wir haben den Aufenthalt sehr genossen und es uns gemütlich gemacht. Das geht dort sehr gut! Zumal wir den Großeinkauf vorher erledigt hatten, der örtliche Supermarkt ist zwar gut sortiert, aber die Auswahl ist dann doch übersichtlich. Zakros ist ein charmantes Örtchen, hübsch gelegen und umgeben von schöner Natur. Wir kommen sehr gerne wieder!

Had an absolutely beautiful stay at this apartment. The location is absolutely perfect for a relaxing get away. The property is really well equipped and has everything you could need. Maria was super friendly, responsive and communicated really well throughout our visit. We visited just before the main season and Mochlos was quiet and sleepy, just waking up. You'll need a car if you want to explore the island from here. Cannot recommend this property enough - we just had the most lovely time.

Die location ist besonders, wir haben es gefeiert. Schön gelegen. Total ruhig und etwas abseits. Wir fühlten uns absolut sicher. Die lokalen Restaurants waren anfangs Mai gerade geöffnet - es geht dörflich zu. Auto ist notwendig. Die Preise fair, die Menschen freundlich. Freilebende Katzen besuchen. Eine Katze hat ihre Kitten in der Nähe der Unterkunft geboren und fühlt sich dem Haus zugehörig. Der erste Mikromarkt ist 5min entfernt, in Gazi (10min) sind größere Einkaufsmöglichkeiten. Das Bad ist klein und wie alles an dem Haus liebevoll gestaltet. Ab Körpergröße 180cm erfordert die Benutzung der Toilette wegen der Beinfreiheit etwas Flexibilität. Das Haus ist ein Traum, wenn Du entspannen und runterkommen willst.

Ce logement est incroyable! Cleopatra nous a reçu en personne, avec des présents pour nous. Elle nous a présenté le logement avec passion, nous a emmené sur la charmante petite place du village, expliqué les diverses activités et spots environnants. la vue depuis LES terrasses est à couper le souffle (vue plongeante sur la mer depuis les hauteurs). la maison est parfaitement équipée, il y a plus de salle de bains que de chambres. La situation géographique est idéale pour visiter toute la zone centre sud de l île, que l on chercher le calme et l authenticité. pour de plats typiques et pas cher, rdv à la taverna Platia sur la petite place pleine de charme du village. Dommage que l on ne puisse mettre que 5 étoiles maximum! Nous reviendrons, c est promis.

Poppy was amazing. So helpful, flexible and very friendly. The apartment is wonderful. Beautiful views and great location for the town and the beach. Perfect for two people, clean, modern and very comfortable. Poppy helped us with everything we needed. Would highly recommend and we will definitely be staying again. Thank you Poppy 😊

Wir haben unseren Aufenthalt bei Georg sehr genossen. Besonders der Garten war so toll für unsere zwei Jungs mit viel Auslauf und tollen Spielmöglichkeiten. Wir wurden mit leckerem Olivenöl und frisch geplücktem Salat verwöhnt und konnten Granatapfel aus dem Garten naschen. Die Kommunikation mit Georg war immer einwandfrei und schnell. Er und seine Familie waren immer stets bemüht und so freundlich. Wir durften sogar bei der Olivenernte zuschauen und haben so viel darüber von Georg gelernt. Die Umgebung ist toll, um verschiedene Ausflüge zu unternehmen. Wir können Georgs Unterkunft nur weiterempfehlen.

My husband and I spent a lovely week at Asteri Home. The house was exactly as expected and just what we wanted for our week in Crete. The kitchen was well-equipped and allowed us to make breakfasts and a some dinners at home. The main double bedroom was big enough and comfortable. The bathroom is a bit dark and the shower is quite small, but we made do. The most amazing part of the house is the huge garden overlooking the sea that has 4 sun loungers, 2 outdoor tables for dining, a BBQ and a dart board. We spent a lot of time sitting at the end of the garden enjoying the view. Véronique and Yiannis are amazing hosts. They were so helpful right from the start - arranging transport from the airport, a rental car, offering suggestions for restaurants and places to visit. Kokkini Hani is quieter than other more touristy parts of Crete we visited. We found wonderful Greek restaurants with fresh seafood everyday. The supermarket and shops are all in walking distance. A lovely place!

Abbiamo avuto il piacere di soggiornare nell’appartamento di Rena dal 26/5 al 2/6/‘25 ed è stata un’esperienza fantastica! L’appartamento era come da descrizione ma la vista dal terrazzo ha superato anche le aspettative! Purtroppo non abbiamo potuto conoscere Rena personalmente ma è sempre stata presente ad ogni nostra richiesta, ci aveva avvisati in anticipo che il Market del paese sarebbe stato ancora chiuso così abbiamo potuto premunirci di spesa prima di arrivare ma lei comunque ci ha fatto trovare in casa di tutto (grazie ancora!). In casa è presente ogni tipo di accessorio utile per la cucina ma anche delle accortezze che non avevo mai trovato in altre occasioni! La strada per raggiungere questo piccolo Paesino è parecchio tortuosa ma noi stavamo così bene lì che ci siamo spostati solo una volta. Ci sono 2/3 spiagge (dove spesso eravamo da soli) raggiungibile con una bella passeggiata in mezzo al nulla respirando il profumo dell’origano! Speriamo di poterci ritornare!

One-of-a-kind, beautiful stay. If you’re lucky enough to find Stelios and Nina’s home available, book it. The most unique Airbnb I’ve stayed in. Wonderful hosts. Prime location. Gorgeous home with an amazing balcony. 10/10.

Super Kontakt mit Irini. Wir bekamen kurzfristig Bescheid, daß wir früher einchecken konnten. Wir hatten eine persönliche Schlüsselübergabe. Irina hat uns alles gezeigt, selbst für das 1. Frühstück war der Kühlschrank gefüllt. Trotz der sehr zentralen Lage, viel ruhiger als erwartet, keinerlei Lärmbelästigung. Zu Bedenken ist bei Anreise mit eigenem PKW die angespannte Parksituation und bei schweren Gepäck, das enge Treppenhaus bis in die 2. Etage. Der Ausblick entschädigt aber für alle Mühe. Wir würden wiederkommen.

Hidden gem! Loved this home, literally two minute walk to Golden Beach. Katerina is so sweet (she met us in-person, had local restaurant recommendations, and even provided a bottle of wine). The home was perfect for our group of 6 (great value for the money, too). Would 100% come again!

Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt in dieser gemütlichen Wohnung. Die weite Aussicht von der Terrasse ist wunderbar und ein Strand ist fussläufig zu erreichen. Es gibt mehrere Strände in der Nähe. Die Wohnung ist sehr komfortabel und geräumig.

Our stay here couldn’t have been more wonderful! It was absolutely spotless, and the photos online do not do it justice. Our first steps out onto the terrace we knew it would be an amazing week. The view could not be beat! All of the amenities were perfect- the appliances, dishes, towels all looked brand new. Host was very responsive, and the cleaning service half way through our stay was a nice bonus. It just needed a couple of board games and it would have been even better lol. Would certainly return in a heartbeat! So many great tavernas within a short walk or drive too.

Prachtige Villa met verwarmd zwembad wat heel aangenaam was tijdens de iets koudere avonden. Zeer ruime slaapkamers met allemaal aparte badkamers en toiletten zodat we nooit hoefden te wachten tot de douche vrij was! Superhost met zeer veel tips voor activiteiten en restaurants in de buurt. Zelfs de ijskast was gevuld met wat drank en eten zodat we niet onmiddelijk opzoek moesten gaan naar eten. De advocado's uit Evi haar eigen tuin die ze had klaargelegd waren superlekker. Deze villa is zeker de moeite waard.

Nikos' place is incredible. It totally transports you to another time and lets you absorb the beauty of the Cretan landscape and nature. We noticed something new every day. Having the pool with stunning views of the mountains and sea, a well-equipped kitchen and an olive tree shaded seating area to eat in, meant we rarely had to leave the place! A holiday to remember forever for us. Thank you

This place creatively incorporates the historic parts of an olive mill with contemporary design. It was roomy and had everything we needed, but a minor thing, body wash would have been nice. Met the owner who was very nice and gracious. Loved being able to walk to 3 different great restaurants, a market, pharmacy and close proximity to Rethymno. It is strategically located between Chania and Heraklion, too. Definitely recommended!

Lovely villa sitting in the hills outside of Rethymno City. All self contained and immaculately kept and maintained. Very responsive host who was most welcoming. Nikos and his daughter Katerina did a fantastic job responding to our needs and making us most welcome. Katerina has superb English so communication was never a problem. Would thoroughly recommend. It would also suggest you need a car to get about either down the hill to City and beaches or up the hill to mountain villages and exploring. Pool is great and outdoor space around the villa is superb. Reccomendations - we followed up on a few authentic tavernas from Katerina and they were superb. Would defo go and eat at Athivoles Taverna in Chromonastiri. Only a short drive away ie 7 km but basically the most authentic Cretan cuisine you will taste for sure. Hits were magnificent. All in all we had a great family holiday.

Das Haus besticht durch seine großen Fenster, die einen wunderschönen Blick auf das Meer ermöglichen.vor allen Fenstern verschiebbare Fliegengitter, sodass auch bei 40 Grad Außentemperatur ein gutes Raumklima herrschte.Ein Highlight war der Sternenhimmel, den wir auf der Matratze auf der Terrasse( unter sicherem Moskitonetz) genießen konnten.Federico hat uns jeden morgen mit frischen Eiern, Ziegenjoghurt sowie Honig und Olivenöl bestens versorgt. Der Umgang war ausgesprochen freundlich und seine Tipps waren ausgezeichnet. Insbesondere die Taverne Agios Georgios , ein bisschen individuell, flower power und mit hervorragender Küche werden wir vermissen.

Wir haben mit 7 Personen (4 Erwachsene - 3 Teenager) unseren Urlaub in der Villa verbracht. Wir haben uns alle sehr wohl gefühlt und den Luxus der Villa sehr genossen. Die Küche war wunderbar ausgestattet. Alles war sehr sauber. Zur Begrüßung bekamen wir einen gut gefüllten Kühlschrank und einen tollen Obstkorb mit frischen Früchten. Manolis war sehr freundlich und hat schnell reagiert. Nachdem nach unserem Urlaub keine weiteren Gäste kamen, war ein späterer checkout problemlos möglich. Herzlichen Dank dafür. Das hat den Abreisetag sehr entspannt für uns gestaltet, da unser Rückflug erst spät abends war. Ganz klare Empfehlung für die Villa und den Urlaubsort!

We LOVED this place!! The villa, the location, and the hosts Eleni and Georgios are all fantastic. The house is stunningly designed inside and out, for both functionality and luxury. The kitchen is supremely well-equipped, beds comfortable, bathrooms and living spaces airy and stylish. We appreciated the multiple terraces, beautiful swimming pool and sauna with a view! The location is perfect without a car: easily walkable to bars, restaurants and supermarkets in Plakias, but situated at the best, quietest, wildest end of the bay, with sandy beach, clear water, a couple of cool beach bars for sundowners and a beautiful walk on the headland. If you do have a car, there are amazing beaches nearby (Skinaria is gorgeous), and walking (and cold swimming) in the Kourtaliotiko Gorge. Eleni and Georgios are amazing hosts: communicative, friendly, thoughtful, offering local recommendations and dealing with any questions or issues efficiently - thank you! 🤩
