Monthly Rentals in Galifa

Very friendly hostess, always available. The place is as pictured, very quiet. Minimarket, pharmacy, gas station and bakery in the immediate vicinity. (within walking distance) Rental car a must. It would be desirable to have information on waste disposal and possibly a few tips on sights and good restaurants in the area. All in all, a very nice hostess and a great place to stay. For vacationers who like to have a quiet atmosphere. Highly recommended.

If you're planning to visit Heraklion and its surrounding areas, staying at Maria’s place is an absolute no-brainer. Nestled in a charming hilltop village, this peaceful and beautifully restored historic stone house offers an authentic Cretan experience. The setting is serene and picturesque—perfect for anyone looking to escape the crowds and enjoy the true essence of the island. But what truly sets this place apart is Maria herself. She is the epitome of Greek hospitality—warm, welcoming, and always ready with helpful tips or a delicious homemade treat. Her kindness and care make you feel like family from the moment you arrive. Highly, highly recommend this hidden gem for an unforgettable stay near Heraklion.

Friendly host, helpful, everything matches the description, ideal place for a vacation especially with the sea is nice and not deep, very quiet. The host gave us everything for breakfast, coffee, tea, Cretan cake, juice... Thanks so much! Just a tip, it's best to rent a car for your errands and outings, it's not expensive anyway

The apartment is equipped as described. Soft bed, terrace and pool facing west. View of the olive groves and a valley. We were lucky and had the pool completely to ourselves on almost every day. If the other apartment is occupied (with 7 people on two days with us), you share the terrace and pool. The water quality of the pool is excellent. It is cleaned regularly. The host family is always available, yet you have great privacy. They are very welcoming and surprised us several times with small touches: tomatoes from their own garden, Greek sweets and treats, ouzo, etc. The property is easily accessible by a small car through the narrow streets of the village with some driving skills and is only about 15 minutes' drive from Heraklion. There is almost no aircraft noise. Within a few km there are very delicious taverns. Thanks again for having us as your guests.
