Holiday rentals in Perivolakia

We had our check in around 2 a.m. but everything was so well organized! We felt as if we were at home. There was enough lights (not something special but just as much as we need it) in order to find private parking and the key from the key box in the middle of the night. The welcome was warm and generous with typical local and handmade products. The owners had informed us that some food would have been left in the fridge because it was nearly impossible to find something to eat around 2 a.m. After many stressful weeks in our hometown, we wanted to relax, and Casa di Olive was the right choice. Peacefull property, stunning view, privacy. We mostly enjoyed dinners to the private garden, but we also liked family run tavernas in front of the coast. In one-word, memorable holidays! We will definitely come back.

It was a pleasure and a nice experience to stay at Thanos's place! A perfect place for those who prefer to experience real Crete beyond the tourist crowds and in a peaceful way. The small village is adorable, the local tavern is amazing, the location also suits well for setting up a base to explore the island - the peaceful, distant beaches are just a 30-50 minutes drive away. The place itself is a gem, if you appreciate an experience to stay in the authentic surroundings and the host was always responsive and very welcoming! Would return there next time for sure!

The place is very comfortable and nice. Perfect for being in the area. Guests are many nice and hospitable and make you feel at home. We are thankful for their treatment and for having had a great few days with them!

We had a wonderful stay at the Seascape Villa! The views are truly stunning and the photos do not do them justice! Maria was an incredible and caring host/ point of contact and was so responsive, providing special tips and recommendations to make our visit enjoyable! She’s happy to help, and even called ahead to restaurants for vegan options for us - thanks! The separate and very private bedrooms with their own entrances are great for sharing the space. Lots of outdoor places to relax and enjoy the view. The secluded rocky beach is breathtaking and absolutely worth the hike down and up - more for the adventurous type but absolutely doable and worth it! So peaceful and gorgeous down at that beach. Sometimes there is some noise from the neighbors and their dogs, cats, and from the road behind the house which is normal/ typical if off a main road and with neighbors - just flagging that although it is private and somewhat secluded it can get noisy at times. 100 percent would return!!

The house stole our hearts. Very authentic and in a village in which you feel that you go back in the last century. Away from mass tourism and with fantastic hiking opportunities.

What a wonderful villa. A lovely spot, very private, with excellent amenities. All very good and well cared for. The pool and BBQ area were excellent. George, the owner, was the perfect host and made very helpful recommendations for restaurants. He brought a dish for lunch one day that his mother had made, very nice. He was very responsive without being intrusive and always made appointments to come for cleaning, etc. The villa is 1km or so outside Kavousi which is small with little café/bars and local tavernas, but very central to travel to most tourist spots such as Elounda within 30 minutes by car. It is worth asking George about details of the “welcome pack” as he provides things such as milk and BBQ charcoal which you won’t need to buy. We would certainly consider going back, it was so good.

It was a great stay in Riana's apartment. We were there for 14 days and nothing was missing. The towels and bed linen have been changed regularly. You can sit outside on the beautiful terrace to have breakfast or eat in the evening. Riana's parents are so nice and accommodating people. Your mini market, which is located at the apartment, is super equipped. You will find everything you need :) The location of the apartment is great. You are directly on a great beach section, which is super convenient with a small child. The taverns are also very tasty and you can sit on the beach and take nice walks in the evening.

Wow!!! This windmill and all of the surroundings are pure MAGIC. We had the most phenomenal time, and felt like we were in a fairytale. Also, the restaurants in the area are phenomenal. Maria is a fabulous, kind, super helpful host as well. You must book the windmill - you won’t regret it!
