Vacation rentals with a fireplace in Aptera

Lovely peaceful house in quiet alley but in the centre of the old town. We loved the beautiful artwork, comfortable bed and general ambience. The upstairs bathroom is rather small but this was not a problem for us. Our host was very responsive and helpful, giving us lots of local knowledge and recommendations. We recommend this lovely house!

la maison est très jolie et confortable, il y a tout de proximité ( restaurant-bar... ecc ...) la hôte Niki très gentille et chaleureuse, une des meilleures expérience airbnb, sûrement à répéter.

This place is fantastic. Two outdoor seating areas both with breathtaking views facing west so you can watch the sunset. We were there in December during Christmas and they had a nice wood burning stove to help warm the house in addition to an electric heater. There is nothing like the ambiance of a wood burning stove . They provided all of the firewood. They also had a fully stocked kitchen . It was an easy walk to town with all the restaurants. Almost all of which were closed when we went. The beaches are a walkable distance. One of the highlights was the Aradena gorge, a 30 minute drive. The trailhead is in a beautiful ancient town. The hike is technically challenging due to loose rocks. Honestly, one of my favorite things was the area. Off season, it is incredibly quiet and peaceful. I loved seeing all the goats and sheep on the hillsides. One thing to note is the bedroom is on the third floor and the bathroom is on the first floor. This was not an issue for us.

Wir haben 10 Tage in der Unterkunft mit unserem 2 1/2 Jahre alten Sohn verbracht. Das Haus is toll ausgestattet, und bietet wirklich alles um eine schöne Zeit in der Gegend zu verbringen. Das Dorf ist abgeschieden vom Trubel, bietet aber trotzdem 2 sympathische Tavernen und Cafés; und in ein paar Fahrminuten ist man am Strand oder in einer der zahlreichen Tavernen in einem Nachbardorf. Nektaria war ein super Gastgeber, immer zu erreichen. Sehr gerne wieder !

It feels like home as soon as we arrived at Grigoris's place. We were welcomed by Christina (Grigoris mom, hope we got the name right). Christina was super friendly and helpful through our stay. She brought to us some home cooked Greek pastries and biscuits next day and we loved them. The house looks and feels better than the photos. Beautiful sea view in a quiet area. We felt so relaxpastIt has everything you need to enjoy your stay there. Great place for a family. Highly recommend and we will definitely come back. Lots of lovely memory. Thank you Christina and Grigoris.

It was one of the best places we stayed in Europe. The house has everything you need, from kitchen utensils to an outdoor table. Yannis is an amazing host and not only gave us heaps of recommendations but also received us with local food. We will never forget it! Thank you so much.

Mike is super nice and the flat is very comfortable and sourounded by mountains. Is really nice for hiking trips as well as relaxing and sitting on the terrace and having dinner. There are 4 taverns/ hotel kitchens in omalus, which are ok tastewise. But you can also cook at Mike apartment. His raki is tasty and the olive oil also very nice. Also it’s just 5min from the Samaria entrance by car.

This place was just as described and Katrina was the most friendly and generous person bringing many lovely homemade things for us. I would certainly return and recommend it to anyone looking for a taste of real Crete.

We recently stayed at this Airbnb for an autumn vacation and, overall, it was a pleasant experience. The house is clean, well-maintained, and the location is convenient for exploring the area. The amenities provided were more than adequate, and everything functioned as expected. One thing to note is that the hosts live on-site, which isn’t necessarily a problem, but their presence was definitely felt compared to other Airbnbs we stayed in so far. Nevertheless, it’s a great choice if you’re looking for a well-kept, dog friendly space with hosts who are nearby to assist.

Το σπίτι ήταν υπέροχο, καθαρό και σε πολύ βολική περιοχή. Οι οικοδεσπότες πολύ φιλικοί και έτοιμοι να μας βοηθήσουν σε ό,τι είχαμε ανάγκη!

A lovely place in a cute village, surrounded by olive trees. A gorgeous view from the terrace. The house manager communicates very well, with fast, clear and friendly instructions. Special mention: the owners Elena and Michail also run a delightful restaurant 30min away. It is well worth going, for the food, the view, but most importantly to meet with them! They have been sooo incredibly welcoming and it was a treat to have a chat with them both. I definitely recommend

Ottimo appartamento in zona tranquilla, ma ad un minuto a piedi dal mare e da una zona con molti locali affacciati sul mare. A 10 minuti dalla città vecchia. Appartamento con piccolo terrazzo con ottima vista mare (2 sedie e tavolino), piacevole soprattutto la sera e la mattina. Altro ampissimo terrazzo coperto con tenda, attrezzato anche con barbeque. L’appartamento si presenta bene con tutti i comfort. Pratico e piacevole il soggiorno. Host puntuale nelle risposte e nei suggerimenti. Molto apprezzato. Parcheggio per auto disponibile nelle vie limitrofe ma sempre a massimo 2 minuti dall’appartamento. Noi in 4 (due adulti e due bambini) siamo stati benissimo sfruttando poco del grande spazio a disposizione.

Wir haben unseren Aufenthalt bei Georg sehr genossen. Besonders der Garten war so toll für unsere zwei Jungs mit viel Auslauf und tollen Spielmöglichkeiten. Wir wurden mit leckerem Olivenöl und frisch geplücktem Salat verwöhnt und konnten Granatapfel aus dem Garten naschen. Die Kommunikation mit Georg war immer einwandfrei und schnell. Er und seine Familie waren immer stets bemüht und so freundlich. Wir durften sogar bei der Olivenernte zuschauen und haben so viel darüber von Georg gelernt. Die Umgebung ist toll, um verschiedene Ausflüge zu unternehmen. Wir können Georgs Unterkunft nur weiterempfehlen.

Abbiamo soggiornato per 9 giorni in un bellissimo appartamento, pulitissimo ed attrezzatissimo. L’appartamento si trova a circa 10/15 minuti dal centro di Chania, davanti ad un supermercato e a nostro parere, si trova alla giusta distanza da tutte le spiagge più belle (1.45h max). L’ordine, la pulizia e l’attrezzatura dell’appartamento ci ha consentito di viverci il soggiorno al massimo! Vorrei riservare un grazie speciale alla carinissima Chrysoula. È stata gentilissima, socievole e disponibile a rispondere ad ogni nostra domanda. È stata la prima persona del posto che abbiamo conosciuto e ci ha veramente scaldato il cuore conoscerla…grazie! Torneremo sicuramente. Grazie mille!

We had a lovely stay. Everything worked well and location was really nice. There are nice beaches nearby and restaurants and grocery stores are also close. The area is quiet and nice. The balcony is really nice and has a great view. It is larger than the pictures indicate, and we spend both morning and evening sitting there and enjoying the view. Katerina was really flexible and friendly when we arrived. The place was easy to find. We had rented a car, and the parking worked nicely.

We had a wonderful stay here! Beautiful view, a thoughtful and responsive host and they even prepared a special welcome as it was my birthday. Definitely recommend for a long weekend break in Chania!

Super willa (jedna z trzech w kompleksie). Bardzo dobre wyposażenie w środku w szczególności kuchnia i salon. Komfortowy super taras z zadaszeniem dużym stołem i wyjściem na basen. Basen idealny do zabaw. Bardzo czysto plus super usługa sprzątania i wymiany pościeli co 3 dni. Bardzo polecam. Jedynym mankamentem (trochę niezależnym od willi) są odgłosy z pobliskiego zakładu pozyskiwania kamienia które niekiedy są dość jednostajne i uciążliwe ale nie są 24/7 :) Poza tym polecam. Bardzo dobry stosunek jakości do ceny.

Wir haben den Aufenthalt sehr genossen und alles war wunderbar! Der Pool war sauber und schön kühl! Auf Wünsche wurde sofort eingegangen und man ist nur 20 min von den tollsten Stränden entfernt! Da die Unterkunft abgelegen, aber nah an einer viel befahrenen Straße liegt, sollte man sich Oropax mitnehmen, wenn man mit geöffneten Fenstern sprich ohne Klimaanlage ( die alle einwandfrei funktionieren ) schlafen möchte und evtl empfindlich ist auf Lärm. Alles in allem war es ein wunderbares Haus mit allem was man braucht! Vielen Herzlichen Dank für alles :)

Das Haus ist inmitten der Natur, mit Tieren ganz in der Nähe und viel Ruhe. Nachts hört man nur die Grillen, sonst nichts. Für Ruhesuchende kann ich die Unterkunft zu 100% empfehlen. Es ist gut ausgestattet, sehr sauber und geräumig. Wir waren in einem kleinen Paradies. Nikos ist ein sympathischer Gastgeber und sehr nett. Die Lage ist optimal für diverse Unternehmungen. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt. Danke für alles!

Très chouette petite maison bien équipée. Vue exceptionnelle sur la mer, piscine partagée avec 2 autres maisons, quasi privée donc. La maison est très agréable, avec tout l'équipement utile pour des vacances agréables. Plein de petites terrasses, plein d'endroits où s'installer tranquillement et confortablement (y compris au bord de la piscine). Seul petit bémol peut-être: la douche est très petite et on se cogne facilement au robinet. Mais honnêtement c'est très vite oublié vu tout le reste! L'accès n'est pas évident le jour d'arrivée, quand on ne connait pas toutes les petites routes, mais on s'y fait vite. Et le calme et la beauté du lieu valent bien les 15 minutes de petites routes... L'hôte est charmant et super réactif, concernant la maison mais aussi pour des conseils de visite etc. Il y a avait même de petites surprises dans le frigo à notre arrivée (fruits et vin). En bref, magnifique choix pour des vacances!

Magnifique séjour de 10 jours fin Octobre dans la villa, tout à fait conforme à la description et même mieux : lever de soleil depuis la terrasse de la chambre, vues imprenables sur la mer : magique ! Manos est super accueillant, l’hospitalité crétoise est vraiment agréable : huile d’olive, vin et gâteaux maison, draps et serviettes changés pendant le séjour, au top ! Si vous pouvez, atterrissez à l’aéroport de la Canee plutôt qu’à Heraklion. La région Ouest est vraiment superbe et préservée : idéal pour les fans de rando comme nous (Manos pourra vous conseiller), des gorges incroyables pas loin (dont Samaria mais pas seulement), et aussi des plages de rêve : Balos et Elafonissi (si vous y allez, ayez le courage de marcher une quarantaine de minutes vers l’Est en longeant la côte : criques sauvages garanties - agréables même à cette période : validées par les enfants). Merci encore pour cette belle expérience !

Wir hatten eine wundervolle Zeit im Haus. Sehr erholsame und ein idealer Ort um fie Umgebung zu erkunden. Bei der Ankunft wurden wir sehr herzlich empfangen und es fehlte uns an nichts. Etwas zu Knabbern und zu Trinken war auch schon vorhanden. Das Meer nur gerade einen Katzensprung entfernt. Zu Fuss einkaufen, Restaurant besuchen und es hat sogar eine Bushaltestelle. Sprich, man könnte auch ohne, Mietwagen reisen. Ideal für Reisende die dem Trubel entkommen möchten. Top Herzlichen dank an Hannah und den Hausbesitzer.

Great stay at quiet villa I a quiet village (just us, the goats, chickens and cockrels and occasional horse) with fantastic views of the mountains. Good supply of kitchen equipment. We were very grateful for the wine, cake, fruit water and cheese on arrival. Although we did not organise any extracurricular activities with them, the managing company was proactive and responsive, polite and helpful. A car is a must to get around the island easily at your own pace and timetable. We visited beaches, caves, monestries and botanical gardens and ate at lovely restaurants as well as cooking at the Villa. If you like outdoor cooking and are a larger group (we were just two) there is a spacious outdoor kitchen including grill, and pizza/bread oven and sink all under a shading Olive tree at the back if the vila. Fully recommend a stay at the Villa and in Crete

Schöne Villa in den Hügeln mit toller Aussicht! Uns hat es sehr gut gefallen! Besten Dank für alles!
