Villa vacation rentals in Frangokastello

This place is a treasure. The views from the living room and kitchen are spectacular. The house has many clever features that are well designed. The area around Almyrida is fun to explore--go down to the beach or on a hike along the coast. Almyrida is a cute beach town, very welcoming. And we did several further from the town adventures. We had no idea that Crete has so much to offer--pottery in Margarites, beautiful beaches, intense hikes, exceptional museums, exploring Hania's historic streets. The property management team were wonderful to interact with. We felt so fortunate to find such a gem. Thank you!!! We sure hope we can return.

We spent the most lovely time at Nikos place with our baby and friends. The villa is located directly by the sea with a spectacular view. We enjoyed really enjoyed our breakfasts watching the waves and listening to the ocean so much. The place is very quiet and private. Nikos is the most welcoming host and gave us great directions for the island. We can definitely recommend staying there! Thank you so much for having us.

It was our first time in Greece, Crete and it was beautiful. The house was even better than the pictures, amazing view and perfect for 6 people. The elevator inside the house was perfect and the kitchen was lovely to spend time cooking and relaxing. It definitely felt like home and we wish we could’ve stayed longer 😍 I would definitely come back to this house again. Thank you for everything!

We stayed at this house for the second time. It is a very good equipped house that beautifully located very close to the beach

Andreas and Anna’s place was in a perfect peaceful location with beautiful views. The apartment was very clean and had all necessary amenities. Andreas provided wonderful recommendations, and was very responsive and helpful throughout our stay.

This place is absolutely amazing. My wife and I spent our honeymoon at Aikaterinis apartment and we were completely satisfied. The inside provides everything what we needed. The description was absolutely accurate. The fridge is very spacious and there is a freezer as well. We cooked quite a lot therefore this was very helpful for us. The pool outside is very clean and also the temperature was perfect for the hot days in Greece. You can really relax at this place because there is not a lot of tourism at this area on Crete. Also the beach in front of the house is quite nice. We put our hammock under some trees and were watching the sunrise over Paleochora. I can totally recommend this apartment, especially for couples who want some relaxing time and together.

Both Ioanna and Spiros were great hosts. Incredibly welcoming and responsive. Nothing was too much trouble. The villa was beautiful, the views from the pool amazing and it was easy to drive to the old town within 6 minutes. The walk to the beach was about 15-20 mins which we did once. I’d highly recommend this villa and the hosts. 😊

we spent a week in this villa. It is perfectly equipped, clean, modern. The heated and large pool is very nice. It is 10 minutes from Kissamos. The host was very helpful and responsive from the beginning to the end of the stay.

Wonderful Experience at the Villa Elias! Our stay at the villa was perfect. The sea view was breathtaking, especially during sunset – a true sense of calm, quiet, and complete privacy. Choosing this villa was an excellent decision, especially because of the heated pool, which the kids absolutely loved. They enjoyed both swimming and playing in the spacious garden. The villa is well-equipped, with many useful items that made our stay very comfortable, including an air pump for pool toys. The location is also great – close to shops, supermarkets, and pharmacies. Highly recommended for families looking for a peaceful and convenient holiday with children. Wissam,

A wonderful place to stay. The pool was gorgeous and the villa was spotless. Very peaceful during our may trip. Able to park right outside. Very responsive and proactive host

Beautiful place, great for families. Lots of toys and even a potty for the kids! Cleaner came mid week which was not necessary but so great. Beach is a 3 min walk. Really need a car to get there which was fine for us! Thanks for everything.

Spent my 50th bday at Nikos place and it was 10/10! There was 7 of us girls and the place was so spacious, private, well equipped and extremely clean. We loved that we could walk to PIGI (5 minute) to the market and a choice of 3 local restaurants. Nikos helped me set up car rental, massages, boat and he had excellent restaurant recommendations. All 10/10 especially our massage therapist. She was the best massage I have ever! we all had 2 massages each as she was that good. I think we will have a yearly trip to Crete and will be returning to Nikos place. Both him and Alexia (whom maintains the property) were amazing and managed all requests! Thank you again for a memorable time in Crete!

Book this Airbnb. Do not think twice. Nice to be greeted with wine and snacks after the flight over. 3 styles of coffee makers with coffee. Sugar, spices, olive oil and balsamic to get you started. 4 bedroom 3 full baths. Great living and cooking areas. Very spacious for our group of 7. Clean and comfortable. Equipped with everything you could ask for. We made a few terrific meals with the grill and kitchen equipment. Harilao has put a lot of thought and planning in to his home. Gorgeous outdoor space with heated pool. Indoors is clean and uncluttered. The views are lovely. 1 minute on walk up the street to fresh bread daily and cute market. 3 minute walk down the street is a bigger market. 4 minute walk to my favorite beach. 8 Euro for 2 chairs and an umbrella. Bar right there if you want a drink. Walk to coffee, pastries, restaurants and bars near by. We loved the home and beach so much that we slipped a few day trips. 5 stars. I hope to come back! Amazing home.

We were there as a family with the grandparents. All three generations liked it very much. The heated pool is an absolute plus at the end of May and the hot tub right next to it makes the outdoor area perfect. The grounds are spacious, there is plenty of shade and the view is awesome. The sheltered barbecue area is perfect for breakfast and dinner. Particularly noteworthy, however, is the first-class service. Olga was always available, the jammed courtyard gate was repaired within half an hour and two employees come every morning, take the trash, clean the outdoor area and even the grill. There are many very good restaurants and all encounters were positive and friendly, we liked it very much.

This is a 10/10 Villa. We have travelled a lot and this is by far the best Villa we have stayed in. We were a family of 9 (5 adults and 4 children aged 2, 4, 9 and 11). The views are stunning, the pool is big, all the rooms have private bathroom. Jacuzzi is also perfect for when the sun goes down! Theo was a wonderful host helping us, giving good recommendations and suprising as with some nice gestures. This Villa really is a Gem as the name suggests. As for the surroundings - it is 100% private! For me the best part was that there is a nice local village to walk to every night. There are some amazing Tavernas/Restaurants with delicious food and reasonable prices (also a mini-market). There is also a nice beach with a good restaurant and a nice cozy beach bar - it is only a 10 minute walk from the villa. And if you rent a car then it is a 10 minute ride to the Rethymnon old town, which is also a very nice place with lots of shops and restaurants. The Villa was worth every euro!

The house is simply gorgeous. Our family had a wonderful Christmas holiday here. The host was very generous with items in the refrigerator and a well stocked kitchen. Lots of recommendations of places to eat in the area. Michael met us in the driveway upon arrival and showed us everything in the house, that was very kind. Especially loved access to the washer and dryer because we were traveling with kids. It was too cold to use the pool, but if you are here when it is warm, it would be such delight.

A quiet, peaceful, and hidden retreat-perfect for those seeking privacy and relaxation. The setting offers a true sense of tranquility and seclusion. Highly recommended for a restful stay.

The Airbnb was fantastic, very modern and spacious with an amazing view. The host was extremely helpful leading up to our stay and also during our stay. One of the best Villa’s I have ever stayed in, the pictures do not do it justice. Highly recommend choosing this for your stay in Greece. Only bad thing is that we had to leave to come back home!

This place creatively incorporates the historic parts of an olive mill with contemporary design. It was roomy and had everything we needed, but a minor thing, body wash would have been nice. Met the owner who was very nice and gracious. Loved being able to walk to 3 different great restaurants, a market, pharmacy and close proximity to Rethymno. It is strategically located between Chania and Heraklion, too. Definitely recommended!

We had the best time at Manos’ villa. It is even more beautiful than the photos and was spotlessly clean, had everything you could possibly need and was so close to beautiful beaches. Sitting on the balcony every morning looking out to sea was just soooo relaxing. We all slept so well in the comfy beds. We have fallen in love with this part of Crete and hope to come back to this gorgeous villa asap! Manos is a warm and responsive host and we felt so at home. Thanks so much!!!

We had a wonderful time in the nice cottage and the beautiful swimming pool overlooking the sea and the robust mountains. Dimitra and Kostas are very sweet and hospitable and respond very quickly to questions. This beautiful place is highly recommended even without a car because there is a delicious taverna within walking distance on a small but quiet beach where you can chill under the tree and a supermarket with a nice terrace across the street . Even our little dog enjoyed it. A top location

We stayed in this lovely, modern villa in southern Crete. The surroundings were beautiful, we enjoyed a lot of sunny days, which made our stay even better. There were several nice restaurants that we very much enjoyed. Also happy with the well equipped supermarket just a minute away. The authentic and mountaineous region is very beautiful. We explored the scenic landscapes, like the Imbros gorge. The villa was very clean and well-equipped, providing all the essentials for a very comfortable stay. The kitchen is wonderful as is the outdoor grill, and the bedrooms had very comfortable beds. The bathrooms were clean and modern. The villa's location on the beach provided very nice views, we felt very lucky to have the whole beach to ourselves. Loved the privacy. One downside was the heated pool. We had chosen this villa in large part for the pool, but during our stay in April, the water was not yet warm enough, which was a bit disappointing for the kids. We would recommend this l

This is a spectacular villa and easily matches the photos. One unexpected feature was that one of the two pools was shallow for the kids. That meant they could stand by themselves and they would play in it all day. The adults loved just lying in it too! Nikos was a great host. He welcomed us on to the property and was extremely responsive with our questions. He even delivered extra pool toys and Greek treats during our stay. The area is very private with a short drive to supermarkets and some classic waterfront restaurants. It’s also convenient to get to Chania airport. We loved our stay here as two families, it exceeded our expectations and would strongly recommend.

Where do I begin… my family and I were dreading check out. Our stay was absolutely fantastic. The accommodations were phenomenal, everyone felt at home. We woke up to a beautiful sea view every morning and perfect weather. The stay was truly top of the line. Everything we needed was provided and Nikos made us feel very welcome. We cannot wait to return.
