Kares Dream House
Nous reviendrons avec plaisir. Tout était parfait ! un logement spacieux, excellemment équipé, parfaitement propre, confortable, beau, dans un cadre nature. Eloigné de l'agitation touristique. Nous recommandons !😀 Merci 🙏🏼pour l'accueil merveilleux avec les Mezzé et le sourire😁

"Oneiro Residence" Family house close to Matala
Logement impeccable, belle petite maison rénovée avec goût. Le jacuzzi est très agréable surtout à cette période ou une fois la nuit tombée la température tombe vite! Nous remercions les hôtes pour leurs petites attention. Ideale pour y rester quelques jours en famille! Seul petit point négatif, la route principale du village un peu passante devant le logement (ne pas hésiter à fermer le portillon à clé avec des enfants!) cependant, une fois à l'intérieur celui ci est très bien insonorisé.

Sea Pearl - holiday house at the beach
Die Wohnung und die Lage waren unschlagbar gut. Auch der Check-in war super organisiert. Wir würden es jederzeit wieder buchen.

Perfect value4money *Private pool*Outdoor Jacuzzi
Die Villa liegt wunderschön in einer Sackgasse am Berg des kleinen Örtchens Armenoi. Alles ist prima gepflegt, sauber und stimmungsvoll. Alle Sanitärfunktionen sind sehr gut in Schuss, die Küche gut incl. Spülmaschine ausgestattet und die Schlafbereiche gepflegt. Der Grill hat tadellos funktioniert und Kohle und Anzünder lagen bereit. Die Kommunikation mit Elina war toll, sehr hilfsbereit und aufmerksam. Ein PKW ist unverzichtbar, wenn man mal ans Meer möchte ( 8 min. Fahrzeit nach Kalyves ). Ich würde jederzeit wiederkommen und somit auch besten Gewissens weiterempfehlen.

Stoa Luxury House with Unique Jacuzzi Room
Beautiful location in the heart of Crete - easy to get anywhere on ghe island from here. Very quiet and private small mountain village, very comfortable homw that was very clean and perfectly furnished. Stavros was an amazing host , very attentive (but not interruptive), brought us multiple local delights & fresh produce. This is a fantastic place to comfoortanly relax without being too far away from all of the action on the beaches. Highly recommend!

Magnolia Home in Katochori Kerameia , Chania!
This is my family’s second time staying with casa magnolia and believe me when I say you really will not find a more generous, loving, and friendly family who genuinely care about your comfort and want to show you the beautiful hospitality that Crete is known for. We were overjoyed to see them again and are very thankful that this family has chosen to share their little paradise on earth with the world. The home is spotless clean, organized, beautifully decorated and in a countryside location that is unique and breathtaking. The owners, without asking, went out of their way to buy us essential groceries and prepare delicious local food and drink for when we arrived. We are grateful for this! Bed linens are of high quality and freshly laundered professionally and were much appreciated after a long day out and about in Chania. Bathrooms are exceptionally clean and so is the rest of the house. We will never hesitate to visit again and hope to do so in future because of this family. ❤

Albore ImBlue, Jacuzzi Bliss in Countryside Escape
We had a perfect stay at Albore, Sofia is a great host. She greeted us warmly, was always approachable and gave us nice recommendations for restaurants nearby. The interior of the cottage was exactly as shown, even more, it felt like being at home rather than a guest. We also loved her thoughtful welcome gifts. The spot is perfect to reach the Ammoudara beaches and Heraklion in a short drive. Our highlight was the Chelidoni Beach close by with very chilled beach club atmosphere. I can highly recommend a stay at Sofias Albore and we will surely come back to experience the great Greek hospitality

3bdr: Villa Anerocurù+studio by Chania town center
We had a wonderful stay at the villa. Everything was perfect. A beautiful villa, with a great location close to beaches, about 10-15 min, the same to Chania. The villa had everything we needed, coffie, even ham, cheese, butter and jelly for our first few days. The kids loved the jacussi. We had a wonderful stay, and we would definatly recomend this place to anyone wanting to visit the chania area.

Jolie maison, bien équipée,vue splendide sur la mer,proche d une taverne,des plages,des sentiers Hôte très prévenant

Gorgeous stone Cottage by the sea.
The cottage is a truly lovely accommodation situated in a calm neighbourhood right by the beach. The beautiful garden with olive trees is a highlight, we had a great time eating breakfast on the sunny terrace. The cottage itself is small but very cozy, perfect for a couple. It has everything you need to cook simple meals. There is also an outdoor shower, and space to park the car in the shade on the property. Highly recommended!

Παραδοσιακό Κρητικό Σπίτι 'Η Παράγκα του Οδυσσέα'
We've spent two great nights at Filia's place as a couple. A bottle of wine and raki waited for us. The house is really cosy and has everything that may be needed during your stay!

Triopetra Green Dream
Wir hatten eine tolle Zeit im Haus im Olivenhain mit Blick auf die Berge!!! Das Haus war blitzsauber, alles was reichlich vorhanden und die Kommunikation mit Lombros war super!!! Das Haus ist liebevoll eingerichtet, hochwertig möbliert und mit vielen praktischen Details ausgestattet!!! Die Betten sind sehr bequem und der wunderbare Pool ein Highlight!!! Wir möchten unbedingt wiederkommen!!! Danke an Lombros und Familie für diese stille Oase!!!

Yiama's Seaside Cottage near Heraklion City
Sehr empfehlenswert! Wir haben in Palaiokastro unseren ersten Urlaub zu dritt verbracht, und waren sehr zufrieden. Wir haben uns von Anfang an wohl gefühlt, alles nötige war vorhanden, von Babyutensilien bis hin zu einem Sonnenschirm für den Strand. Maria und Yannis sind sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit, und haben uns herzlich empfangen und persönlich verabschiedet. Das Haus ist wunderschön, sauber und gemütlich, der Garten ist super gepflegt. Warmes Wasser muss allerdings mit einem Boiler erhitzt werden. Der Strand in Laufnähe (10min) hat uns leider nicht gefallen, da eine Autobrücke direkt darüber führt. Mit dem Auto sind schöne Strände jedoch leicht zu erreichen. Wir waren meist in Agia Pelagia. Wir hatten einen tollen Urlaub und können das Haus nur empfehlen!

Angela’s River Paradise-Upper Cottage-We are back!
Petit havre de paix , idéalement situé, un endroit où se ressourcer avant ou après une journée forcément bien remplie. Angelina est hyper réactive si besoin, restaurant du village à 2 min à pied excellent. Nous reviendrons 🌿🏵️🐾

Ioanna House. A romantic touch on your vacation!
Gonia is a great, quiet village. Perfect for a relaxing getaway after the chaos of the more populated areas of Greece, yet still close enough to get to the other areas of Crete that we wanted to visit. The host is a super-host for a reason! She brought us fresh produce from her garden throughout our stay, including the most beautiful tomatoes that we had ever seen. The house is very quaint and the stone keeps it cooler during the very hot summer months. The outdoor space offered here is wonderful for relaxing, either downstairs in the shade or upstairs in the sun in the hammock or at the second dinner table. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here!

Abelos: Stonehouse Haven with Private Pool
Siamo stati qui tra la fine di Agosto e Settembre in 8 persone , tutti adulti. Le due case e il giardino sono incantevoli e curati , perfette per un gruppo numeroso grazie anche alla presenza di 5 bagni in tirale. Con la piscina, pulitissima, siamo tornati bambini😊le spiagge del sud sono a circa un’ora, un’ora e mezza di distanza, ma ci sono ottime alternative annche a 20/30 minuti al nord. Eleni e Dimitri sono simpatici e accoglienti. Tutto perfetto direi😊

JASMINE cottage house in kefalas
Kefalas is a great village to stay in, its very typical Greek and not spoiled and touristic. It has two nice restaurants, two little supermarkets for groceries, al within walking distance. The location is great to travel to Chania, Rethimnon, Georgioupoli, but also Aptera, Lake Kournas, Plakias, or walk one of the Gorges. The house is unbelievable with multiple lighted places to sit in the garden of balcony. So if you want Sun or Shade it is easy to find. The house is very spacious with 3 nice bedrooms, and also room to relay and sit as well downstairs as upstairs. You can park your car on the own terrain next to the house.

Small traditional house
Das zweigeschossige Haus ist wunderschön und authentisch renoviert, blitzsauber und es gibt keinen unnötigen Krimskrams. Es gibt eine großartige Terrasse im Obergeschoss (wo das Schlafzimmer und Bad sind) mit Sonnenschirm und großen Steintisch. Sie ist so groß, dass auch 2 oder 3 Personen Yoga machen könnten. Es herrscht eine herrliche Ruhe und ist somit maximal erholsam. Durch Fensterläden ist das Schlafzimmer gut abzudunkeln, sodass ein erholsamer Schlaf möglich ist. In der Küche ist alles vorhanden, was man braucht. Stella und ihr Mann sind sehr nett es gab sogar einen liebevoll hergerichteten Obstkorb und sogar selbst gebackenen Kuchen. Absolut empfehlenswert!

Koukos House surrounded by nature
We stayed at Despina's in Fres in February and March. From meeting us at the airport and helping us pick up our hire car she was always available if we needed advice. Driving into Fres you head for the village square and drive through it through an archway. Carry on this road for about 300m. Just beyond a small church on the left you will see it in front of you. There is a small undercover car parking space with the stairs to get to the flat. Despina's father lives in the flat below. He is very kind and despite not speaking English we managed to understand each other. We were also lucky to be given lemons, oranges,eggs and olive oil from his garden. The area is beautiful and rural with the sounds of goats and chickens to listen to whilst sipping wine on the balcony looking towards the sea. The area is a great base for exploring especially Vamos, Almyrida and the Apokoronas region. Chania and Rethymno are not too far either. I can't recommend Despina's place highly enough.

La Siesta beach house with pool. 250m from beach.
Javi was very helpful, accommodating and helped us a lot. We had a huge delay and he helped us alot, waiter for hrs.. got us food for breakfast as we arrived late and also dinner as we arrived close to midnight. Nice lad and a super nice property beautiful for groups of families

Argyro's house (private pool)
We had a magical time here with our family in your beautifully restored house close to some stunning and quiet beaches (compared to others on south coast) we loved the bbq area and shaded courtyard for lunch. Although a small pool it was perfect for cooling off and kids loved it. The local beach Taverna’s were relaxed and delicious food. Thanks so much and hope to be back soon!

Stone detached house with garden
Wir dürften eine Woche in AnnaMarias Unterkunft verbringen. Alles wie beschrieben und schön eingerichtet. Betten sind bequem. Es gab sogar ein Reisebett für Kinder und Kindergeschirr. Wichtig: kein Hochstuhl vorhanden aber das wussten wir vorher und haben unsere eigene Sitzerhöhung mitgebracht. Der Spielplatz gegenüber ist perfekt und der kleine Garten super zum spielen. Wir hatten eine tolle Zeit!

Garden House, near Sea and City
A beautiful home, simple and elegant. Has a beautiful back garden. The beach is just a hop and skip away. There is a supermarket and a great coffee shop near by. The home is well equipped and I felt extremely comfortable.

The Stone House
The house is located in a really small village on the mountains. As far as the arhitecture of the house and the interior is really nice. There is a fireplace if you want to visit during winter period. The only negative part is that you have to go to another village if you want to go to a cafeteria cause that village doesnt have anything like that.Overall it was a nice experience, quiet with beautiful views. Make sure to have supplies to cook before you go.Last but not least you need to have a car to move around in Crete.
