Blue villa Mantzourana - 1 bedroom maisonette

Here you will experience unique moments of relaxation and complete tranquillity in an authentically traditional area, without missing any of the comforts of the modern way of living, which we have quietly incorporated in all our dwellings. Our settlement is built on a hill slope and it has such an orientation that it offers an impressive mountain, valley and sea view from all houses. During night hours, thousands of stars will magnetize your eyes. And at day musical sounds, vivid colours and perfums, captivating scents, pure flavours and the close touch with nature will awaken all your senses and their remembrance will remain unforgettable. There are many communal areas, all free accessible from our guest. There is a barbecue area with a wooden oven and a big dinning area under a pergola. A small but fully equipment fitness room, a steam bath, mountain bikes, a 40m² eco swimming pool - heated when required, cd, dvd and book library, and a traditional style, on honor system working and only with local products, mini market - cafe. I'm spending few hours per day at the property, so you are always welcome to ask me any kind of information you maybe need. I am also available 24h a day on my mobile phone for anything you maybe need. Samonas is a peaceful village which has preserved its authentic character due to being very small and quiet with few inhabitants. There are a number of places to explore, and the beach is nearby. We recommended to rent a car and here are directions how to get to Samonas. a) From Chania airport follow the route: Airport - Souda - Megala Horafia - Styos - Samonas. More specific: 7km from the airport you turn left to Souda. Then enter the high way with direction to Rethymnon. A few kilometers after, follow the exit to Megala Horafia and go straight ahead to the village of Stylos. At the end of Stylos village, the road is separated. You have to follow the right acclivitous one. After 5km you will reach Samonas village. Our traditional houses are on your left hand, after the first couple of residences. b) From Heraklion airport follow the route: Airport - Rethymnon - Kalyves - Stylos - Samonas. More specific: From Heraklion - Rethymnon head to Chania. From the high way follow the exit to Kalyves and then left to the villages of Armenoi - Neo Horio - Stylos. At the entrance of Stylos, turn left and follow the narrow acclivitous road to Samonas (5km). Our traditional houses are on your left hand, after the first couple of residences. Although everybody is welcome, in order to ensure a safe, relaxing and quiet environment to all, we do not recommend our complex to children under 12y.o. Smoking is not allowed into the villas. Pet friendly environment.

Minimalist Sanctuary with Valley and Sea View

Exactly like Le Corbusier's vision, this cabin is adapted in a scale of "Mediterranean balance", designed on the basis of the minimum possible dimensions and the maximum physical and spiritual comfort it could offer. The philosophy behind this project is to find yourself in a contemporary sanctuary, hidden from the world but close enough to all the beaches in the area, sit in the hot midday sun on the terrace in its quietness or maybe during the sunset, enjoying a glass of wine and a nice book.

Villa Elena Chania - Explore Nature near a Luxurious Stone Villa with a Garden

4.95 out of 5 average rating, 22 reviews1 month ago

We recommend Villa Elena with our highest endorsement. Sifis is a compassionate host with resourceful info & recs, def reach out to him if you have any Qs; he’s very responsive. Thoughtful/Delicious homemade meal ready on arrival. Kitchen stocked with basic food including many oranges for fresh squeezed OJ everyday & the best olive oil on Earth. Private/Tranquil location with amazing views yet close to beaches, market & bakery. Short walk to point for breathtaking sunset. Visited during low season so pool not used & did not think in advance to pay extra to heat hot tub but indoor fireplace used daily. Inexperienced drivers may have difficulty navigating to home. Rec 4x4 rental car with navigation system but did ok in Fiat Panda with propped up phone on dashboard. Sifis & family are amazing hosts, high quality humans & new friends. Hope to return someday for at least 2 weeks to see more of Crete. Would def stay here again if available. Thank you!

12-Stylish Studio-Pool-Panoramic Terrace-Hiking

4.9 out of 5 average rating, 58 reviews17 months ago

Manolis and his parents are the perfect hosts! I stayed for a month (Oct-Nov '23) while holidaying and working remotely. Manolis is extremely proactive and friendly and always went the extra mile to make my stay smooth and enjoyable. The family have invested a lot of time and careful thought into the complex and its apartments, with mine having a distinct and homely character and a sunny balcony. I would highly recommend staying with Manolis, especially for longer stays, as I did.

Orama Luxury Villa 4 Bedrooms with Private Pool

5 out of 5 average rating, 9 reviews7 months ago

We had an amazing stay here, 6 adults and 2 babies. The villa is beautiful and we really appreciated the separate baby pool and children's toys, as well as being provided with a travel cot and high chairs for both babies. Eleni was a great host, she was very responsive and organised a cleaner to come half way through the stay which was great. The location is good as it isn't in the main town. It is a 10-15 minute walk to the restaurants and bars in Piskopiano and Koutouloufari, the first 5 minutes of the walk is uphill. We hope to return next year!

Chania Elite Home, Enjoy an Oasis by a Heated Pool

5 out of 5 average rating, 45 reviews7 months ago

Great villa with everything you need. It is fairly close to Chania center, about 15/20 minutes by car. The villa was very clean and they even offered us to clean the villa and change towels and bed sheets during our stay. Effie was very welcoming, with some gifts and local products when we arrive and when we left. They were very reactive, and provided with what we needed. For example, they came to give us a baby bed and chair as we did not indicate we were coming with one. The garden is spacious, with some great area to have an aperitif or lunch/dinner: there is a big table in the shadow which is a plus. We strongly recommend and would come back with pleasure.

Casabella - Luxury beach villa

4.97 out of 5 average rating, 33 reviews7 months ago

We can’t say enough great things about our stay at Casabella and Maria and Manos. The house is beautiful and equipped with everything we needed to make sure we were comfortable. The location is just a few minutes walking distance from an incredible beach and lots of dining options. Maria and Manos always responded to our questions immediately with great recommendations. The house itself was beautiful and had incredible views worthy of a postcard. It is helpful to have a car should you want to venture outside of the village but we ended up loving the area and its welcoming people that we rarely left and were able to walk most places. We have stayed at many Airbnb’s and this is by far the best equally because of the location and the hosts. We hope to be back again. Thank you again Maria and Manos for everything that you did for us to make this an incredible vacation that we will never forget.

Asterios villa, a comfy house with private pool

Maria was a lovely host and made a special effort by getting me a cake as we stayed at Asterios Villa during my birthday. There was also lovely touches of fresh fruit, wine, raki and local toiletries left for us. The villa itself is perfect and the location of Bali is brilliant for shops and restaurants. The pool and outdoor area was lovely and well maintained. Had good WiFi and aircon. The villa was well stocked with amenities for the dishwasher, washing machine and toilet roll as well. Had a beautiful view of the sea and hills. Anyone who stays here will not be disappointed. Thank you Maria

Footsteps to the Beach. Sunny Spacious Apt in Agios Nikolaos

4.98 out of 5 average rating, 128 reviews5 months ago

We immediately felt at home in Manolis and Maria's apartment. The reception was very personal and there was even food available for breakfast. The location was perfect for us. We had a magnificent view of the bay. Just a few steps from the apartment is a great, small beach without stones, which leads shallowly into the water. There are also several good taverns outside the door. The path into the village leads beautifully along the water. Agios Nikolaos has a lot to offer and we discovered very nice corners. Our favorite excursion, just about 10 kilometers away, was the mountain village of Kritsa. With this very well equipped and impeccably clean accommodation, you will definitely make a very good choice and can look forward to the vacation from the moment of booking!
