Apartment holiday rentals in Frangokastello

The accommodation is cozy, well equipped for occasional cooking for two and offers a really great view of the coast and the sea. It is a good starting point for excursions (by car) in the area. Stavio is very hospitable and took good care of us. Communication was straightforward. The studio was perfect for our week-long vacation for two. We felt very comfortable here.

Truly a great apartment! Fully matched the listing. It is sparkling clean and everything has been thought of: tea, coffee, washing machine, you name it. It is in a quiet area, but at the bottom of the mountain there is a nice restaurant to enjoy the sunset. We had to mess with the jacuzzi for a while: it went on every hour in the middle of the night, but the host responded very quickly and was able to explain to us how we could solve this. We had a wonderful stay, I would recommend it to everyone.

Absolutely stunning stay! This oceanfront apartment offers unbeatable sunrise and sunset views right from the balcony — truly breathtaking. The space was spotless, modern, and well-equipped with everything we needed. Just a short drive to the city center, yet peaceful and quiet at night. We loved waking up and running along the ocean and sipping wine while watching the sun dip below the horizon. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a relaxing, scenic vacation. Five stars! Lakovos was extremely helpful and very responsive, making everything smooth and stress-free. For a truly unforgettable dining experience, we highly recommend heading into the nearby mountain villages of Drakona and Theriso — the food, scenery, and hospitality are next-level.

Absolutely fabulous. Iwona’s apartment was better than we expected. The rooms were spotless, the a/c in the bedroom was cool, the shower was hot, the kitchen was well stocked and modern. The gardens were beautiful, the pool just right and the surrounding area is tranquil. The air in the mountains and the water from the taps is soft. The sun shone for our entire stay and the local cafe on the crossroads was perfect for a cold beer or a glass of something stronger... Friendly locals, hidden beaches and well stocked shops. Just watch out for the walk up Cardiac Hill.

Niki and Cristos were really lovely and friendly hosts. Fresh flowers, homemade biscuits and cake, wine etc were provided and left in the apartment. The apartment was bright and clean. They treated us as family and really made us feel at home. Surrounded by the most amazing mountains. Beautiful people on beautiful Bali. What more could you ask for? Eif charisto! (thank-you) Margerita and Yianni xxxx

Highly recommend! Beautiful modern clean luxury apartment that feels like a home. Private driveway and parking. The apartment and views look even better than the photographs. Great location. Fully stocked home with all the essentials and more. The kitchen has everything you would need and more. Stavros is the perfect host. Everything was as advertised in the listing.

Maryellen communicated really well before and during the stay. The house is a fantastic location but you need a car or taxi to get to local restaurants and into Chania. Maryellen even booked the taxi for us to Chania. The house is fully equipped with everything. The views are amazing over looking the sea. The outside space is great with magical pool. It’s on a hill so probably not suitable for people who find it difficult with stairs and because the pool is an infinity pool you would need to be careful of children in the pool. The house is private and in a quiet location. We will be going back, one of the best Airbnb we have been to.

Lovely apartment, good location and great view. the ocean waves put us to sleep well. thanks to Simon for the experience.

Perfect place to stay! Absolutely no negatives at all! We would love to come back one day

We had a lovely week here, location is at the top of a hill which posed a good workout and worth it for the views. We didn’t hire a car and didn’t feel that we needed one. There is a supermarket at the bottom and it is within walking distance to the main restaurant area / shops. The pool is lovely, however there is no shade or umbrellas. It was maintained whilst we were there. The apartment doesn’t have an iron (informed this was due to safety reasons??!) so a little annoying if your clothes are creased after travelling. Dorotea kindly organised us a taxi to our next destination on the island.

We loved our stay and would definitely stay again! The apartment looks just like the photos and is really well maintained and immaculately clean. Plus they’ve also thought of everything, it’s really well equipped. The location is great, just a couple of minutes walk to all the old town restaurants and bars. Plus the rooftop is a real sun trap in the afternoon, we loved hanging out by the pool.

Very Happy with my Stay. I highly recommend this beautiful location.

Firstly Lena made this stay so comfortable and easy, she went above what she needed to and it was so helpful as we were checking in at 1am. The directions were easy and the old town felt super safe to navigate through Secondly the accommodation, I gasped when I walked in, it was so beautiful. The highest ceilings with exposed brick, beautifully clean with water in the fridge, toast, jam, coffee and tea as well as all the usual amenities. Side note - insanely great double glazing to block the noise out! You couldn’t hear anything disturbing (you can hear a bit but nothing extreme, which is crazy as when you open the doors it’s very noisy) Thank you again Lena. For your accommodation as well as the time you took to provide us with instructions, knowing we were arriving so late at night/early in the morning

We fell in love with this apartment and Manos hospitality five years ago and came back 6 times since then. Already booked the next stay before we left. It’s an amazing place created with passion and care. Clean, quiet, beautiful architecture, lovely interior and the most caring host I ever met on Airbnb. Thanks Manos for creating this little piece of holiday heaven

Great little pad at Elafonisi, and pretty much the closest you can be to the beach - which is about 7 minutes walk from all the accommodation and town. Lovely and peaceful – even though it was central it was tucked away and felt remote. Could have been stocked a bit better - only enough for 1 1/2 coffees, no tea. Great fridge/freezer but no glasses or plates - though they delivered some when I asked. As it's a great spot to relax after your beach time. Would recommend.

Fantastic place in a perfect location, with the best view terrace in Matala! We loved it! A couple of things to note from previous reviews: The indoors are cozy, perfect for a couple, but you will be spending your time on the very spacious terrace overlooking the water across to the caves. Amazing! There is no kitchen, just a fridge and hot plate, but the town is full of great and affordable restaurants. Yum! There is music below at night, but it is not too loud or "thumpy," and we slept comfortably with the windows open listening to the music mix with the waves. Lovely! If you are thinking of just day-tripping to Matala, I urge you to think again because the night life is a big part of the fun. And George's place is perfect to enjoy it. Built into the hillside, giving the feel of the hippie caves but with the luxury of a comfy bed and bathroom--and that terrace!--we couldn't be happier with our choice. If you have a hippie soul, you will love charming Matala. Efcharisto, George!

Beautiful and clean place to stay! Great location right next to Rethymo. Would stay here again!

Probably one of the most amazing places you’ll stay anywhere! The attention to detail when the unit was remodeled, and the furnishings and extras added to make your stay comfortable, are incredible. It is located right in the middle of a vibrant area full of outdoor restaurants, music, and shopping. The hosts are extremely responsive, we were late getting in but that was not a problem. During our stay we unfortunately encountered one of the red dust storms that Chania periodically receives, but they came the next day and cleaned the outer areas. We were lucky with the parking the first three nights, but for some reason the fourth night was a challenge however we did eventually find a garage about 15 minutes away. Also, I would not recommend the unit for younger children or someone unsteady on their feet as the stairs in the unit are quite steep especially to the roof, and there is no washing machine though a laundromat is just a few minutes walk. Would absolutely stay again!

Mike was great from the start…we booked last minute and he texted me immediately. He made everything very easy and was extremely friendly when we got there to check in. He showed us everything about the apartment that we needed to know and gave us lots of tips on where to go to eat and to see the best sites. The rooftop space was beautiful and the apartment was very close to everything in the area… We were able to walk to everything! I would definitely recommend staying there… Thank you, Mike!

Great stay, great location, great views. Very close to many bars and restaurants. Not too noisy at night. The only slightly negative aspect was the shower. Basically made the entire floor flooded. Overall, i would recommend the place and would definitely return.

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!

Beautiful place and great host

This was our first holiday abroad in over 10 years and first for our daughter (9 yoa) and it was a perfect stay! We love Rethymno, especially the old town and the location of the suites was perfect for us. The people of the town are super friendly and kind, and especially so to children, which is lovely. There are many amazing places to eat, drink and enjoy on the doorstep. Athina was an incredible, kind and very helpful host. She arranged our airport transfers and even a late check out with short notice. The apartment was incredibly clean and airy, with air con, great facilities and lovely sofa bed, we felt very comfortable and at home. The yard area and pool were a great addition to the suites and we used it daily. Thank you so much, we hope to stay again in the future!

Great experience!! We stayed at this wonderful Airbnb and our expectations were really exceeded. The place was spotless, comfortable and very well cared for – but what really made the difference was the staff. From the first moment, we were greeted with kindness, a smile and authentic hospitality. They were always available for whatever we needed, willing to help with joy and good mood. You didn't just feel like a visitor – you felt like a guest! The feeling of warmth and respect they showed us made our stay truly unforgettable. Such service is rare and deserves to be recognized. We highly recommend it and we will definitely be back! 🙌✨
