Villa holiday rentals in Rethymno

We had a wonderful stay at this amazing villa and cannot recommend it enough. Maria was a fantastic host. She arranged our airport taxis and throughout our stay Maria was always on hand - we couldn’t ask for more. The villa was amazing and in an ideal location right on the beach. The pool area was excellent, private and peaceful. Maria also provided sunbeds on the beach where we enjoyed beautiful sunsets. There are many local tavernas within walking distance - we epecially recommend the Mareem & Finikas Tavernas. We also went to the old town one evening which cost 14 euros in a taxi and it’s well worth a visit as it’s really pretty with a great atmosphere. It is mainly pedestrian with lovely side streets to exlore and there is a real buzz in the evenings along the waterfront where there are great places to eat, or simply sit and people watch. Maria gave us a late check out at no extra cost which was so kind. We cannot recommend Maria and her villa enough and hope to return!

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at this villa in Crete! The house was fantastic – beautifully maintained with everything we needed for a perfect vacation. We even got some fresh fruits to settle in. The beds were very comfortable, and the view from the villa was simply spectacular. The pool was a real highlight, offering stunning scenery and a great place to relax (Also, never played table tennis with that scenery…). Within just a 10-minute drive, we found lovely beaches and charming taverns. Our host, Spyros, was extraordinarily friendly and helpful throughout our stay, making us feel truly welcome. We totally recommend this villa, especially for families looking for a relaxing and unforgettable getaway! It’s not cheap but totally worth it!

I rested with my friends in this villa, it was fantastic, a very quiet and relaxing place, a great restaurant is nearby, all the necessary infrastructure is 15 minutes away by car, this place is exactly what you need after a noisy busy city, I sincerely recommend it

Fantastic great house with a lovely terrace and a lovely view. Our two young children loved the pool. The house and location were even better than the pictures. It was a short distance to the beach, shops and restaurants. The kitchen was exceptionally well equipped and it was nice to be able to barbecue outside in the evenings. Highly recommended!

The house impresses with its large windows, which allow a beautiful view of the sea. Slidable screens in front of all windows, so that there was a good indoor climate even at 40 degrees outside temperature. A highlight was the starry sky, which we could enjoy on the mattress on the terrace( under safe mosquito net). Feederico provided us with fresh eggs, goat yogurt as well as honey and olive oil every morning. The interaction was extremely friendly and his tips were excellent. In particular, the tavern Agios Georgios , a bit individual, flower power and with excellent cuisine we will miss.

An absolute gem, we had an amazing stay at Maria's place. The house is absolutely beautiful, modern with quality all around. It's also super private with nothing but nature around you. Will definitely be coming back!!

Vagelis was a wonderful host. He directed us to a parking lot close to the villa. He met us and helped us with our bags. We loved the villa. Beds were comfortable, air conditioning was great. The villa is beautifully designed with great furnishings and a lovely, peaceful courtyard. We loved how it was in the heart of the old city, yet super peaceful. Would stay here again in the future, no question.

We, a family of 2 adults and to kids (age 7 and 9) spent a week in this beautiful villla and we had a wonderful holiday. The spacious, tastefully decorated villa had all the amenities for a relaxing stay. The outdoor space was a highlight, featuring a large terrace, sun loungers, a private pool, and a barbecue area, perfect for enjoying the sun, swimming and dining. The hosts were welcoming and helpful, responding quickly. They were also flexible with regards to arrival and departure, which we truly appreciated.

We had a great vacation in the house. It was all clean and tidy. The pool is amazing and the yard is indulgent. The hosts are very nice and accommodating. The service was more outstanding. We had a perfect vacation for us. I highly recommend the house and hope to stay again.

Our family of five loved our stay here. Beautiful property, away from the busyness of the city but close enough to everything we wanted to do, see or eat. Wonderful host and communication.

This place is a treasure. The views from the living room and kitchen are spectacular. The house has many clever features that are well designed. The area around Almyrida is fun to explore--go down to the beach or on a hike along the coast. Almyrida is a cute beach town, very welcoming. And we did several further from the town adventures. We had no idea that Crete has so much to offer--pottery in Margarites, beautiful beaches, intense hikes, exceptional museums, exploring Hania's historic streets. The property management team were wonderful to interact with. We felt so fortunate to find such a gem. Thank you!!! We sure hope we can return.

Our stay at Mama La Roosa Villa was a dream. Petros was an outstanding host who went above and beyond to ensure that we had a relaxing stay in Agia Pelagia. The villa was stunning - it had gorgeous ocean views from every angle, beautiful landscaping, and a modern design with every amenity needed for our trip. The villa felt quiet, private, and safe. We enjoyed watching the sunrise each morning. We enjoyed the pool and backyard dining area so much that we decided to skip the beach! The warm hospitality from Petros is what made the stay - he arranged reservations at the best local restaurants and wineries. We felt that we were able to truly experience Greece thanks to our stay with Petros at Mama La Roosa Villa. We wish we could stay longer and can’t wait to return. Thank you Petros for an unforgettable experience!

This is a BEAUTIFUL place - the pictures do not do it justice. The combined kitchen and living area is HUGE, and so is the pool and outdoor space. All the bedrooms have ensuites and are identical, and all have the same view and access to the terrace. It is spotless. The place is just at the edge of a really quaint beach town. It is super quiet and peaceful, and a 2 minute walk away from a bunch of bars and restaurants. Sofia herself is a WONDERFUL host. She’s kind, welcoming, and so responsive. Stay here - the value for money is excellent, and it’s a fantastic little town.

Beautiful Villa and great host. Lots of communication and very helpful. We had a lovely week and would recommend to others.

Can’t say enough positive things about Anna and Costa’s villa. We had an amazing stay. The villa was clean, spacious and in excellent condition - just like the photos. The pool was fab. Anna & Costa’s local recommendations were great. The whole family enjoyed the trip - thank you so much!

Awesome villa in a great location with plenty to keep the family entertained. Easy 15-20min walk to the beach/Baja beach club, 10min walk to the local mini market (or 3min in the car) Heated pool was a massive bonus staying outside of summer. Maria was great host with a lovely welcome package, we’ll be booking for next year!

The hosts were fantastics had little treats on our arrival and departure would definitely come back to this villa

We loved the villa, it is exactly as pictured and as other guests have commented on- Etouri are excellent. I wouldn't hesitate to book this villa again. Lots of great features that have already been mentioned in previous reviews such as super comfy beds and pillows, spacious, light and airy.. but just to add, the Villa was fully equipped with big fluffy bath sheets (12!) and they were replaced half way through the week when the villa was cleaned. Lots of great personal touches, I can confirm the hairdryer is decent and I was pleasantly surprised to find both English and German books to read. Each room has a private balcony. We paid the extra to have the pool heated, it was heated to a perfect 29 degrees. The pool depth is 1.3 throughout and was exceptionally clean. Rethymno is a great location. We recommend going to the old town for dinner at Lemonkipos, also not to be missed a cheese farm nearby called Arkadianos and our favourite beach was Karavostasi in Bali.

We enjoyed our stay in this beautiful villa for over a week! Amazing views and good facilities, not to mention the friendly and understanding hosts. The host dopped by the villa quite often, however, it did not bother us at all, he was very considerate and helpful. I would recommend this place, it's ideal for big groups!

What a sweet, friendly people. We received a warm welcome and an extensive explanation of the house. The host responded directly to our questions and also came up with an alternative program because it was unfortunately raining for a few days. Absolutely recommended if you want to enjoy comfort. This is a capitalized hospitality G.

The Villa is absolutely stunning it had everything you could possibly want, very clean and spacious with all quality modern fixtures and fittings throughout. My children especially loved the pool and hot tub which were cleaned throughout the week. The area was nice and peaceful very close to the beach, had restaurants and a super market within walking distance. About a 10 minute cab ride to plenty more bars and restaurants. The host was lovely very welcoming, she was there to meet us on arrival, was very approachable always contactable and very knowledgeable about the local area. The host couldn’t do enough for you even stocking the fridge with some essential groceries which I thought was very nice touch. Even brought us a handmade gift when we were leaving which was so thoughtful. Would definitely use this Villa again and would recommend to anyone.

This was our best stay ever with airbnb, and the most beautiful in Greece. The house exceeded our expectations. The locations is awesome. The house is comfortable, spacious, modern, spotless and beautiful. The open views to the ocean are breathtaking in addition to being high above in the mountains. He outdoor terraces aremazibgand the pool iswesome withazing views. This house can easily accomodate 6 persons. Parking is easy for two cars. The place feels secure and very private. We enjoyed the beautiful sunsets. Located between Rethymo and Chania we felt the location was perfect. We lived every detail provided to us. The hosts were great communicating with us, greeting us and providing all kinds of reccomendations to us. They greeted us with some very nice presents, foid and wine. If you plan to visit Crete this is the pkace to be. If you want an unforgetable stay this is the place to be! We lived every minute of our stay and there are not enough words to Thank our hosts!

One of the best Airbnbs I’ve ever stayed in—and I’ve stayed in many around the world. As a picky germaphobe, I was so impressed by how spotless, comfortable, and thoughtfully designed the villa was. The views are stunning, the outdoor space (pool, jacuzzi, grill, and deck) is a dream, and every detail—from the linens to the lighting—was just right. What made it truly special was our host, Georgia. She greeted us personally at midnight, made us feel genuinely welcomed, and went above and beyond throughout our stay. Her warmth, helpful tips, and thoughtful surprises added so much heart to the trip. The location is peaceful and beautiful—ideal for relaxing and disconnecting—but still close enough to explore charming towns, beaches, and amazing local food. A rental car is definitely needed to get around and fully enjoy everything Crete has to offer. We didn’t want to leave and are already planning our return. This place is truly a gem!

Beautiful place 5 star plus!
