Holiday rentals in Dionisos

We called this place "the mansion." The views are absolutely breathtaking and the accommodations pristine. The beautiful beach is across the street and the hotel nearby has an outside bar on that beach. We ended up renting a car because we could tell driving in Crete was easier than places like Mykonos and Athens. We ventured to a few places like Richtis Gorge and the downtown harbor; excellent shopping with some closed (no vehicles) streets. We wished we had more time here! Our host was very kind and also helpful in booking the car rental after our arrival. We highly recommend Villa Phi!! Thank you.

Iosef is a wonderful host. He made us feel welcome right from the very start. His traditional Cretan home, that he has lovingly restored is truly magical. The views overlooking Sitia are absolutely breathtaking. You are surrounded by wild flowers, olive groves and not forgetting overlooking the turquoise waters of the Agean sea. Anyone who wants to Immerse themselves in nature, Cretan culture, flower scented clean air and perfect stillness. Then Iosef's beautiful home is for you. Iosef thank you so much for your kind hospitality, we enjoyed every single moment, especially the local honey!! We will definitely be back!!

It's a wonderful place! If you need a break from reality, enjoy the peace and beautiful views, this is the place for you. The house has everything you need to live, Harry took care of the smallest details! Perfectly prepared home for guests! Our flight was very delayed, we were very late, but Harry was on guard and came to pick us up. Wonderful, calm, friendly East Crete!

We had a perfect week, in a fabulous home. The property is very well appointed and comfortable. Everything was working perfectly, and very clean. The area is beautiful, with an amazing view from the property (you see nothing but sea and coast from the front and side), and even a nice little taverna across the road. Antonis was a great agent and the owners Irene and Alex were super helpful and responsive, they even provided us with a great list of ideas for restaurants and things to do. Will definitely return!

We stayed end of April for over two weeks and absolutely loved our stay. Our welcome to Mandarini house by Venetia and Michalis was so thoughtful and considerate… many kind touches - homemade Easter treats, jam etc and enough in the fridge and cupboards to tide us over for a few days. The house is a fantastic base to explore Eastern Crete. It is comfortable, homely, practical, and the village is lovely and friendly. We had daily hikes, often from the village, there’s lots to see and do. We highly recommend Mandarini and we’re blown away by the pristine beauty of this special part of Crete 😎😎

We really enjoyed our stay in Palekastro! Pro: Cozy kitchen, lovely quiet garden and terrace, super clean, walking distance to taverns and shops. Con (which we did not mind, but one should be aware of): The street in the front is quite busy and light sleepers might have trouble, there’s no “loungy” sofa/ seating area.

Andreas handled our entire stay in a great way. The house is tidy and with all comforts. The location allowed us to get to know a very special Cretan reality that made us travel with our minds. Recommended!

We loved our stay at Nikolaus' house. The place was amazing, it felt full of history. The beds were comfortable and the bedroom had a lovely view out towards the mountains. The setting was so peaceful and away from all the tourist hotspots, but easy to get everywhere too. Nikolaos was a greast host - we arrived at 1am because of a delayed flight and he was up to meet us at the door. We also accidently locked ourselves out while sitting out on the beautiful terrace and he kindly arranged for us to be let back in again! Would definitely come back and would reccomend to anyone.
