Family-friendly vacation rentals in Decentralized Administration of Crete

Beautiful apartment, well equipped, close to Chania by car. Easy street parking which is very quiet. The apartment is very spacious, it can be suitable for 2 families. Our host's welcome is perfect. The stay around Chania is very pleasant. Recommended!

We stayed at Georgia's mansion during our honeymoon at the end of September. The place was large for two people, but we felt like royalty with all of the space :) The mansion is beautifully redone on the inside - it has modern amenities with a traditional aesthetic. The place had absolutely everything we needed in the kitchen, bathrooms, bedrooms, and outside. The pool was wonderful! We spent our afternoons lounging after hot days in Chania and the surrounding areas, which offer lots of restaurants, attractions, and great shopping! The area was great as well - easy to get to, quiet, and with easy access to the main road that can take you east or west in no time :) We highly recommend a stay at this beautifully restored mansion, and we hope to be back ourselves someday!

This Airbnb host was amazing! She welcomed us with a fresh Greek salad and fruits from the garden, the property is very private and in a little nook on a side street, so it is quiet and away from traffic. Hot tub was amazing. Overall for the price, as long as you can get a rental car to take you to Chania, this is an amazing stay.

Lovely home and beautiful views! Téo is a wonderful host - so friendly and welcoming. We were very comfortable and greatly enjoyed our stay.

Excellent. The Monastery is the perfect example of contemporary architecture and interior design. The proportions and visibility lines appear to be expertly planned and cleverly designed to guarantee peace, privacy and comfort from the heat of the day. Even more important though, is how friendly the staff were. We were made to feel welcome from the very moment we parked the car, and the staff could not have been more helpful. In particular, Meggie and Georgia went out of their way to help us. All of the staff were great though. The food was excellent, and the views spectacular. This part of Crete is incredibly beautiful and given the friendliness and style of The Monastery, we will certainly return.

This Airbnb was a great spot for our stay in Chania! We had around a 15-20 minute walk to the Old Port, which had a wonderful selection of restaurants. (We highly recommend the Sailing Club.) There was also a good coffee shop around a 5-minute walk towards Old Port and a grocery store 5 minutes away (opposite direction of Old Port but still very close by). The hot tub was amazing as the weather was a bit chilly some days of our stay. The inside was just like the pictures, and our host replied very quickly to help resolve any problems we had. We walked to a beach that was 45 minutes from the Airbnb, but it was a nice area with beach chairs and tasty restaurants. We would warn younger guests to travel here during the earlier seasons as you will be cat-called a lot. Overall, our stay was fantastic!

We stayed in the apartment for 10 days. It is very close to the old town of Chania which did provide some ambient noise, but we did not find that disturbing. The beach is also at walking distance. Every few days there was cleaning and towels were replaced, this was pleasant. The jacuzzi is great, only a manual is missing. All in all a nice apartment in an excellent location with plenty of privacy. We would recommend it to anybody.

An amazing house with a very helpful and responsive host. Would stay again.

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.

Perfect stay, great value for money! We could access the facilities of the Aristea Hotel, which were a plus. I would recommend.

We spent several days in Villa Nikki and had a wonderful time. The house, the view, the Pool - everything was just amazing. Communication with Giannis and his team was also perfect. If our vacation wouldn't have ended we probably just would have stayed there for ever :)

Heike's place was super well maintained and had everything your heart desires. We felt comfortable and enjoyed our time very much! Heike was also on site on the day of our arrival and personally gave us many helpful tips and explained everything necessary. She was also quickly available to us at any time. Utensils for grilling meat and fish were also fully available. The surrounding small towns with numerous localities are quickly and easily reached by car. If you are athletic, you can also do it on foot :) . But even at home you can unwind, either in a hammock or a lounger.

We've had a really good time staying at Michael's place. It is situated really close to a wonderful quiet sandy beach that has some amazing clay mass people use to improve their bodies skin while soaking the sun. A good number of some true and genuine cretan tavernas nearby to address the tastes of Greek food connoisseurs.

Wow! Where to begin with this review - this was probably the best Airbnb experience we have ever had overall, and we have stayed in a lot of airbnbs! Manos and Klelia made sure we had a fantastic experience in Chania , they are so friendly and very helpful with any questions we had, super responsive and they really went above and beyond; to the extent that when we arrived they gave us a home baked banana bread loaf and fresh home baked pastries from their shop!! As for the apartment, we stayed for one month and it was a home away from home. It is in a great location, 10 minute walk from a lovely beach and great restaurants. The apartment had everything we needed and even had a little home gym outside which we used daily, it has a sheltered parking spot and a little private patio. 100/10!! Thank you Manos and Klelia for an unforgettable trip.

We had an amazing two-week stay at Kostas and Aristea’s beautiful traditional house in October. I was there with my sister, niece, and boyfriend, and we all loved it! The house is tastefully decorated with charming traditional elements like old photos and antique tools, making it unique and cozy. The kitchen is well-equipped, and the beds are super comfortable. The peaceful setting, surrounded by olive groves, with a magical garden, was perfect for relaxing. Kostas and Aristea are such caring hosts, offering homemade wine, fresh apples, and kumquat jam. We can’t wait to come back!

Really enjoyed our stay in Loutraki. It was near to areas in the east and central part of Crete for the first part of our trip. The house was unique and fully equipped with everything you needed. The view was beautiful and a nice private get away. Hosts could not have been nicer.

We had a great time. Good contact with the lessor. I recommend!

We were pleasantly surprised by the house. Beautiful spaces both outside and inside. Highly recommended. Also for our toddler everything was provided. The pool was on the fresh side but the weeks before it wouldn't have been very hot. Small tip to the host: extra kitchen equipment is allowed (more towels, look press, pads for the table, candlesticks, ...) It was a nice holiday and we were spoiled by a local catering company that Audrey recommended to us.

Best place to vacate in Crete. Fantastic host and very good service from Claire.

Thank you Valia for the great stay in your beautiful house. We enjoyed the peace and quiet, as well as the nice views and can only recommend. Lovely communication with the owners and regular cleaning.

There were three of us in the apartment, including a 3-year-old child. The place was as described and the hosts make every effort to make the stay as comfortable as possible. Communication in advance and during the stay was super fast and helpful. We received a lot of tips and descriptions to find our way around. The shared roof terrace is very nice and the balcony of the apartment is also a good size. The furnishings are simple, but it has everything you need. We can absolutely recommend this place (value for money is right).

Lovely villa and garden in a quiet spot. Kostas and Elizabeth were very approachable and responded quickly to any queries. As others have said, the only slight draw back is the approach to the villa down a very narrow drive with a right angled turn which took some manoeuvring even in our smallish car. We got used to it and ultimately this didn't spoil our enjoyment of this beautiful property.

We had the most amazing experience staying at this Airbnb! The house was absolutely stunning with breathtaking views that made every morning special. It was beautifully maintained and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. What truly set this place apart, though, were the incredible hosts. They went above and beyond to make sure our trip was perfect. From arranging convenient transportation from the airport in Heraklion to renting us their car—which was spotless and ideal for exploring Crete—everything was seamless and stress-free. Their warmth and hospitality made us feel right at home, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend this place to anyone visiting Crete. We can’t wait to come back!

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.
