Cycladic house vacation rentals in Decentralized Administration of Crete

A change of regular venue for us in Crete and what a find. Right on the promontory with 200 degrees of unspoilt views. The beach feels private as we were alone 90% of the time and then only a couple of others. The water is magnificent. Alexandros was very accommodating with our late arrival and had a pizza for us which was much appreciated as everything was closed. I read another review on here and they had it spot on. Local seafront village is a lovely, a little shabby, packed with local Greeks at the weekend and the food was great, friendly and cheap. We were a family of four adults and had the best time. Just very chilled and gentle. Definitely coming back!!

The apartment is very spacious and cozy. The hostess is very friendly and helpful. After our ferry was initially unable to sail due to the wind, the hostess helped us to contact the ship organization and to consider a plan how we could still leave.

Lovely villa. Stunning views. Highly recommended. Great host! X

at the end of a quiet beach with the company of cats only as everywhere on the ridge...6 restaurants within walking distance ...all tavernas very well especially those after the road broken by the sea towards apigia...dinner by the water!!!recommendation: fresh and homemade anchovies at the porphyra restaurant!!!a delight!!!Thank you to all Cretans for their efficient and fuss-free hospitality

location and place is great. Christina a is a top host. Very detailed route description and advice on restaurants. Cozy beachfront apartment with availability of beach beds and beach shower.

Great value for money, we had a great time at the apartment. Close to the beach (6 min walk), located in a very quiet and peaceful area. The apartment is ultra modern (brand new kitchen and bathroom). Pavlos and his sister are ultra responsive and accommodating. We arrived very late to access the accommodation and they sent us instructions so that we could access the accommodation easily and quickly. Thanks again and we recommend it without so much as a second thought!

We were two families with two children and spend a week in Lena’s house. The villa is specious and comfortable. Pool was nice and clean. The house is in a remote location so you do need a car for everything, but you are in a less touristy and quiet spot of Crete and you can reach most of the top attractions within an hour drive. It’s about 15min drive to the nearest beach and 45min to Rhetymno town. It’s also easy to go to the mountains.

The accommodation is really nice and comfortable.

Lovely place for a larger group. Four bedrooms with their own bathrooms and small terraces also allowed for private time. Quiet location with amazing views. Several restaurants and two well-equipped grocery stores in walking distance. The kitchen had good equipment, which was suitable for cooking, both indoors and outdoors in the nice outdoor kitchen. The heated infinity pool offered both swimming and water activities. Lovely large terrace with sun loungers, sofa and parasols allowed for common chill. Also the playing field attracted to board games. The villa's location on a steep hillside allows for training. Recommend renting a car or scooters to get to different places. The host was on hand and reachable on short notice. Highly recommend Villa Eureka and would love to come there again.

We had the most wonderful stay at Wild Pear Villa. The villa is beautiful with a fantastic view of Agia Pelagia and the sea. It was in perfect condition, super clean, stocked with everything you need. We did not have a car but it's a short walk down to a small but lovely beach where you will find a few restaurants and a mini market. A little further walk will take you to Agia Pelagia which has many more restaurants and shops. Our hosts were wonderful. Anna and Victoria quickly replied to any questions we had and their mother Olga greeted us with food, fruits and beverages which we really appreciated arriving in the evening after a long flight from New York. Lovely people and a lovely home. We honestly didn't want to leave!

We had a wonderful week here. The villa is beautiful and 100% matching the photos. We had a warm welcome by Maria and she was also always available for any questions during the week.

The villa was absolutely stunning! It was very clean, spacious and modern. Panagoula was an amazing host, she made us feel right at home. She welcomed us with authentic refreshments and snacks for the stay. She gave us recommendations of many local restaurants, shops and sightseeing locations, which was really helpful. The villa had a beautiful pool, bbq area(outdoor kitchen) and we loved the outdoor fireplace. The views from the villa was beautiful and peaceful. Also we would recommend Panagoula car rental service too, it was a reasonable price and very much needed to explore Crete and getting around. I would highly recommend this villa to anyone! It was definitely worth it. Panagoula really took care of us and the attitude to always help with anything made the stay so much better and memorable. Thank you again my friend :)

10/10 would recommend! Everything was according to the description and worth the price. Our apartament was clean and spacious, very well equipped for daily use. Odisseas & Evita were available and very helpful while sharing their recommendations. The town is small and rather quiet in April but the views and surroundings were most beautiful.

Lovely villa in peaceful surroundings with nice pool area. Would recommend a car for exploring the nearby resort of Almyrida and further afield. We found plenty of traditional village and beachside greek/Cretan tavernas serving delicious food within 10 mins drive.

What an incredible property, everything exceeded our expectations! Wonderful host who provided so much helpful information. We thoroughly enjoyed our time in this beautiful home from home and would not hesitate to recommend it to others. Lots to see and do in this lovely part of Crete.

Great stay. private location. very responsive host

Our stay at Villa Ekphrasis was beyond our expectations. The house was beautiful, very spacious and comfortable, and includes any equipment you may need. The pool and the jacuzzi are real highlights and the view is simply breathtaking! We also loved the barbecue place on the terrace, it‘s perfect to have dinner during sunsets! The host Eftychios was super nice and helpful at any time during our stay, and provided us with great local recommendations. His mom even prepared some welcome snacks and a cake during our stay. We‘d love to come back in the future! Truly one of the best Airbnbs I‘ve ever been to. Thank you so much!!!

We loved this Villa so much. The location is perfect, the lovely village with great taverns (we loved eating at Georgia’s traditional tavern. It is a must!). The pool is lovely and the villa itself was so spacious and comfortable, We felt so welcomed by Minoas. The communication was great, Minoas was so helpful with giving us lots of recommendations, helping with every tiny problem we had, even late at night. I cannot recommend this Villa enough. Thank you Minoas for your superb hospitality.

We really loved our stay at Galini Breeze which was last stop on our honeymoon trip. We were made to feel very welcome by Serhat on arrival and throughout our time both Serhat and Hamza were super friendly hosts. They also provided us with some great recommendations on secluded beaches to visit. The hotel itself was lovely, with beautiful pool area overlooking the Mount Ida in one direction and the coast. Rooms were very contemporary with lovely private balconies. It was nice how they had thought about everything, and even had a washing machine, a selection of beach toys/ sun umbrellas. While a bit touristy we enjoyed Agia Galini, plus it is an amazing base to explore if you have access to a hire car and don't mind the hills. Other than that the driving was fine. Thanks

5+++ stars! I invited a handful of friends to come to Crete and celebrate my 50th birthday. We were a group of 8 and found the villa so phenomenal, spacious and so well equipped with amenities. The pool was pristine. The sauna was wonderful at all times of day. We used the outdoor ovens and dining table constantly. Comfort to the max. Antonis a great communicator and always available. We’re already planning our next trip back. Also so we’ll located to Cretan Olive Oil farm (Panorama tour a must!!), Elounda and Agios Nikolas. Couldn’t be happier!

We stayed for a week in Crete and looked for something quite to relax. This great house is located in a calm area, had a wonderful pool, perfect to recharge the batteries. We felt home from the first minute.
