Smoking friendly holiday rentals in Platanias

What an amazing place. The anti - boutique art cafe is something to experience. When so many places are being turned into “luxury living “ boxes it was delightful to stay in a 500 year old property with all its charm and quirks. Coming home at night to our own a bar was fun. The bed was extremely comfortable and the access to art materials was a real bonus to my artist husband. The kitchen has lots of equipment and the water in the shower has high water pressure and heater only takes a short time to produce VERY hot water. Once the inner door is closed the apartment is very peaceful. Communication with Spiros was excellent. It’s difficult to suggests any improvements. Maybe more pillows. We would appreciate a washing machine but understand this is extra cost. Be aware the cleaner next door sometimes spills water from the balcony into the garden. Just sit to the left. Oh I don’t forget to try the restaurant next door. Thank you Spiros for a lovely stay. A great way to end our 4 weeks.

We had a nice stay. The location is excellent, very close to the harbor and in the middle of the charm of the old town. We would definitely stay here again.

It was simply wonderful. 😍 Everything exactly as advertised. Chrisida and Thanasis's apartment is extremely clean, comfortable and cozy. Chrisida and her family are always kind, thoughtful and always ready to help their guests. We felt at home. Your house is very well located and close to everything (bars, buses, cafes, restaurants, market, bus station, etc.) Kissamos is an incredible city, simply wonderful. Thank you for everything, Chrisida and Thanasis. If I have the privilege of returning to Greece one day, I will be with you again!

Beautiful views, clean, spacious place and super nice host.

Jenny is such a wonderful person and a fantastic host! The room was very clean, had a comfortable bed, and the kitchen had everything we needed for a few days in Chania. Not to mention it has a beautiful view! Please note you need to be able bodied to stay here as there are 3 flights of stairs up to the apartment - but this was not a problem for us. The apartment was about a 20-30 minute walk to Chania town, and it was a beautiful walk along the ocean. Jenny was so kind and helpful, responded so quickly to messages and gave us many local recommendations. Thank you Jenny!!! We had a wonderful time. :)

1st AirBnb experience. Messaged host to arrange taxi transfer. Arranged promptly, taxi waiting and price as expected . Nektaria, a warm, friendly lady, there to greet us. Bottle of wine, cheese pie, cake, olive oil, vinegar and preserves waiting for us. Apartment amazing. Good security. Road outside busy but didn’t affect sleep. Screens on every window keep flies out, keep rooms cool, + air conditioning. Small amount of washing powder for use in washing machine / supplies for dishwasher. Internet worked well & TV (Greek channels). Clean white / beach towels, changed during stay. Introduced to family, warm welcome, hosts not intrusive, left to enjoy holiday, always available. Well stocked kitchen, pots, pans, crockery, cutlery, chop board, knives, vegetable peeler, bottle opener, whisk, toastie maker, egg boiler.. Spotlessly clean. Alkion Supermarket below a massive bonus, open late. Good prices, friendly staff. Allocated spaces in large car park, never busy. Definitely recommended !

We spent 14 wonderful days in Marilena's residence. From the first moment we felt very welcome. Marilena is not only extremely hospitable and friendly, but also very sweet and nice to children. The place was sparkling clean and well cared for. The private swimming pool was an absolute highlight: every morning it was carefully cleaned by Marilena herself. What we also really appreciated was that they came to clean the house in the meantime – of course in consultation. Really top service! You can tell from everything that Marilena does this with love and has an eye for her guests. In short: a fantastic place to stay with a hostess who really makes a difference. We will definitely come back here!

We loved our four days in this lovely apartment in Rodovani! Manos met us when we arrived, left us an array of fruit, coffee, tea, bread, and other treats — and was a terrific and cheerful communicator during our stay.

great little house , peaceful , next to everything but at the same time out of the world , 10min and everything is next door, functional , the location is perfect to see all the crete , 2h30 to go east of the island, and between 30 minutes to 1 hour from everything in the west/ south west really great I would recommend great accommodation, people in the ridge are extremely kind it feels really good! go there without hesitation

My friend and I stayed at the accommodation for 5 days and were very satisfied with our stay. The apartment is on the ground floor of a beautiful modern house. The apartment was very well equipped, there was nothing missing. The beautiful terrace with whirlpool is worth highlighting. The location is great. It is about 15 minutes by car to the center of Chania. Several beaches are within walking distance. The house itself is in a quiet location. It offers a good starting point for exploring Crete. Katerina and her husband are great hosts. Upon arrival, we were greeted with a fresh Greek salad, oranges, and wine. A few days later, we received fresh vegetables from the garden. Katerina was always available and very friendly. We felt very comfortable. Overall, we would recommend the accommodation! 5/5 stars!

Giorgia has been a wonderful host. The flat was super clean and the host welcomed us with fruit, sweets and everything for breakfast. She gave us clean towels and sheets twice and she recommended restaurants and places to visit. She left us time to checkout and said goodbye with many ice creams!! 🥰she really was a fantastic host . The bed is comfortable , the bathroom very modern and beautiful and the whirpool a pleasant extra. We liked everything and hope to come back

Beautiful, clean, and very responsive. The stay was as advertised. This home is well maintained, comfortable , and close to everything.

Absolute bliss. This house is in the beautiful Topolia, a small town on the road to the popular Elafonissi Beach. The actual house is perfect—clean, save, good bathroom, kitchen and stunning view. The bakery and taverns in town are amazing. Much better food than near the beaches. Try the classic crete food and enjoy the wonderful view.

The accommodation is of very high quality. Everything is spotlessly clean and it is very spacious and comfortable. The outside is incredible and the photos can’t do it justice. The patio is really comfortable as is the outside dining / bbq area as is the grassy lawned area. A lot of choice as how you want to relax. The nearby beaches are great and there are lots of places to eat nearby. We very much enjoyed Chania which is a short distance away. We drove there but the bus stop is only a couple of minutes walk away from Sandy’s place. We plan to visit Crete again and we will definitely be looking to book Sandy’s Boutique when we do.

This place was perfect. It is in a great location, spacious and clean. The host was very responsive and helpful. Like the other reviews mentioned, the parking spot is very tight, you have to be a confident driver and highly recommend having a smaller car.

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

Great host, great place in great location, would 100% do again

Very charming accommodation in the heart of Chania‘s historical center. 2 min away from the Venetian harbour.

It was an amazing staying in Stefania’s house I’m very happy for the hospitality we had , she prepared a lunch for us when we arrived that was the kindest thing an air bnb owner did for me but beside this speaking about the house my family and I were amazed because the house had really everything EVERYTHING Landry iron iron table hairdryer all kitchen appliances That was the most complete house I ever had and I really was happy for this experience I feel so satisfied .thank you Stefania may the Lord bless you and your family :)

If you love a vacation off the beaten track, away from the crowds of tourist resorts... this is your place. The house is located in a small village attached to the rock with stunning views of the Rokka gorge. The terrace you'll share with other guests is perfect for enjoying breakfast or an aperitif. Be aware that there are cats that come looking for food... for those with allergies... Marianna provided us with food for the first night and was always responsive to any questions or problems. Rokka is the ideal place to explore the beaches of the northwest of the island and Chania. The southwest beaches are at least an hour's drive away. We're taking beautiful memories with us Thank you.

We had a lovely but short stay at Valia’s very spacious apartment for our family of 5. The wrap around balcony was a treat and the rooms stayed cold and dark to allow us to sleep off our jet lag. Nice and close to old town Chania and lots of spots nearby for coffee/wine and pastry!

We had amazing few days staying here. The apartment is beautiful and clean, in a great location, out of the way enough from the busy centre but just a short few minute walk to Chania town centre and the beach. Would definitely recommend. Thank you!

Anastasia’s apartment is really nice, the view is amazing, and the surrounding neighbourhood is peaceful perfect for a peaceful trip.

Beautiful, clean and very comfortable apartment, Marianna was a great host and provided everything and more that a guest might need. Highly recommended.
