Apartment holiday rentals in Sfakaki

This was one of the nicest AirBnB apartments I have rented. What was responsive to questions prior to the trip, arranging taxi service from the airport. Even though our flight was two hours late and we didn't arrive until 10 pm she was there to greet us and show us the apartment. Her restaurant recommendations were outstanding. Finally, the location on the outskirts of Old Town Rethymno could not have been better. I enthusiastically recommend this place!

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

Chrysa is a very friendly and helpful host. She answered all our questions very fast. The apartment was very clean and just like in the pictures. We felt very comfortable and would love to come back.

We had a wonderful time at Nikos's place. Nikos was great, he's probably one of the friendliest hosts I've ever encountered on Airbnb. The place was exactly like in the photos, clean and cozy, and the host was always helpful and answered our questions whenever we had some.

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.

Great apartment with great views – just like in the pictures! Top location and everything went smoothly, check-in was easy and the location was great. Only the shower was a bit tricky with the temperature setting, but that was really just a small detail and did not affect the overall very positive impression. Clear recommendation!

Elizabeth and Lily's place is absolutely gorgeous. The house was impecable. Super clean. Very spacious, lots of bright light, and also has automatic dark shades. Towels were super comfortable, you get both shower and beach towels. We had a welcome basket with bread, jam, honey, there was fruit and water bottles in the fridge. Super attentive host. The house is probably the best one in the complex. Excellent view of the ocean, you can see some magnificent sunsets right from the balcony. There is also a terrace where you can have breakfast/coffee. The pool is super close, clean and gated with a keypad. Very secure area. Absolutely loved it. I wish I was there still. Will definitely go back and highly recommend it to everyone!

From the initial booking through checking out, everything was amazing! Maria is a fabulous hostess - proactive and responsive. She greeted us with out-of-this-world homemade chocolate chip bread and showed us all the wonderful features of the house. Anything we wanted to know about Crete, she had so much information. The house itself has many extras - 3 types of coffee, condiments, any kitchen item you would want, dishwasher and laundry pods, plenty of extra towels, beach towels, the list goes on! Having a private parking spot was especially nice. I would highly recommend Maria’s place to anyone wanted an oasis for their stay on Crete.

Very spacious, modern apt with a beautiful balcony. The street noise below made it difficult to sit out and talk there, but the view of the ocean was very nice. Well appointed kitchen. Very clean and neat. Mihalis gave us a great recommendation for dinner nearby that was lovely. We had a nice stay here

Vasilis helped us a lot when we contacted him in Rethymno at short notice with our request to move to his apartment out of necessity. He reacted immediately, was very accommodating and made a quick move possible. The facility was beautiful, the beach within walking distance and the communication was great! Everything was great. Note: The adjacent hotel often has evening events that can be clearly heard in the apartment. After midnight, however, it was always quiet. Thanks again, Vasilis and highly recommended!

amazing stay and we enjoyed the welcome gifts. thank you again for a great stay!

We loved our stay at the Alice Villa. Location is truly fantastic for shopping and loads of restaurants. We spent quite a bit of time at the villa when the weather wasn’t the greatest and we couldn’t have been happier. Thank you Marianna for the wonderful hospitality and the gifts. Have to mention the people we met in the restaurants and on the streets, soooo friendly. We were very sad to leave. Could’ve stayed a lot Longer. Book it, youll love it. Until next time.

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

Unfortunately, we were only there for 5 days. We felt very comfortable from arrival, nothing was missing and the apartment was very clean. We would definitely recommend Zoi's apartment to anyone, as everything was also available within a short distance such as the beach, very good restaurants and the old town of Rethymno was within walking distance. We would definitely book the apartment again if we fly to Crete again.

We loved our stay here, the balcony was truly as good as it looks! We thoroughly enjoyed movie nights in the hot tub every evening. The host very kindly prepared us some watermelon slices on our final night, a great end to our stay! We would highly recommend!

Walkable distance to the center. I’m a beach lover and the apt wasn’t close enough to a sandy beach for me. But the views were incredible and the sunsets were superb! Manos was a great host. Very responsive and offered great recommendations.

Although we booked for 3 people and it was only prepared for 2, the host was very quick and helpful in solving the problem! Very good room and conditions :)

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!

The space was spacious, comfortable, and had a beautiful view. We especially loved the large deck—perfect for enjoying morning coffee or dining outdoors. The location is great, with a wonderful bakery and market just a short walk away. You’ll need a car to explore the town and surrounding area, but everything is within a short, easy drive. Our host was incredibly welcoming and responsive, sharing great tips and insights about the area. They also took the time to share aspects of the local culture, which made our stay feel even more special. We were lucky to be in Rethymno over Easter—it was an unforgettable experience!

We are now back home and have had some time to reflect. From check-in to check-out, it was simply amazing. We felt right at home. Traditional food was regularly left at the door by the family. At the beginning, we were also surprised by this. We had a great rental car and drove around the area a bit. The place is perfect for that. Approximately 1 hour from Heraklion Airport and everything else is accessible. Would we book again and 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!

Athina was super helpful and communication was outstanding. The location couldn’t have been better for central old town close to many restaurants, shops, coffee shops, cafes and the old port. Brilliant. The accommodation was superb, immaculate and well serviced every day. The Jacuzzi / plunge pool will be perfect for the sweltering Cretan summer heat with a lovely courtyard. All in all very highly recommended.
