Vacation rentals in Kalochorafitis

Antonis’s place exceeded expectations in every way. Our host, George (father of Antonis) greeted us with wine, treats, welcoming words, and two adorable dogs - we felt at home and began relaxing immediately. The grounds were even better than the photos - the house is spacious, comfortable, gorgeous. The upstairs veranda overlooking the sea was a highlight - a perfect spot for morning yoga and evening stargazing. We kept discovering new wonders - the trail to the beach through the olive trees, vegetable garden, exquisite woodwork and masonry; not to mention the incredible views of mountains, meadows, and sea. The sound of the waves all night was a beautiful lullaby. The village is very quiet in early April when we were there. Nothing was open so we brought in all of our supplies, which was good because once you’ve made it down the mountain, you’ll want to stay put until it’s time to leave. - no quick trips into town from there! Def bring a sturdy vehicle! Can’t wait to go back!

Nous avons passé 4 jours dans ce logement qui est bien plus qu'un simple "airb&b". Ici, le cadre est fantastique, dans les champs d'olivier, hyper central pour visiter le nord de l'île, à proximité de Karteros où vous trouverez quelques commerces de proximité. En plus de toutes ces qualités, vous trouverez ici l'âme d'une vraie maison de famille où vous ne pourrez que bien vous sentir.... spacieux, cosy, propre et très bien équipé tout y est parfait. Un grand merci aux hôtes qui ont tout fait que ces quelques jours se déroulent au mieux.

Great and cosy stone house, makes you feel very welcome in a cute greek village. Location of Gerani is great and in good approximity to Episkopi beach and Rethymno. Has all amenities one can expect from a house someone actually lives in. plus Eleni and her Son are very nice. Keep in mind it's a small bed (firm yet comfortable). Directly park at the parking lot by Staras Tavern though, it is directly next to the house. All in all one of the few good and authentic airbnb experiences.

So glad we stayed here. The location was excellent- the pier and marina were two minutes away, and the shops, restaurants and bars even closer than that. We loved sitting on the roof terrace listening to vibrant centre while watching the boats coming into the port. The apartment itself was peaceful, clean and welcoming. The host was excellent and even suggested great restaurants, and walks and trips that we might like. Just perfect! Thanks

A really great apartment, super close to the beach (aprox 50m), close to supermarkets, restaurants, bars. Everything you need is a few min away. The apartment was delivered super clean, in the fridge I had a cold bottle of water and a bottle of apple juice, fruits on the table and butter&honey. Christos was very proactive, I locked myself out of the apartment (closed the door with the key inside 🤦🏻), I wrote him on airbnb and he was there in 10 min to help me out. Overall, a great place to stay in Rethymno and a super host !!!

I would recommend this Property and our Host. Everything was as indicated in listing. But, our host went above and beyond with his quick response to our questions and perfect recommendations for restaurants and things to see. When he stopped by for a casual visit we felt like old friends and we are lucky enough to have a new friend now!! His wife was kind enough to make us zucchini patties that we delicious! thank you!

Wir hatten diese wunderbare Villa für eine Woche mit 6 Personen gemietet. Auch mit 10 Personen hat man hier auf jeden Fall ausreichend Platz. Wir haben uns sofort wohl gefühlt. Die Aussicht ist wirklich toll und ich kann hier allen positiven Kommentaren nur zustimmen. Hervorzuheben ist auch nochmal die Freundlichkeit und die Kommunikation mit dem Gastgeber - wirklich sehr zuvorkommend und hilfsbereit. In ca. 15- 20 Minuten ist man mit dem Auto in Heraklion und erreicht in der gleichen Zeit auch viele gut bewertete Tavernen/Restaurants in der Nähe. Wer nicht nur in der Villa abhängen will, sondern auch die Insel erkunden möchte, dem sei ein eigenes Auto empfohlen. Die Villa ist doch recht abgelegen, was aber eher positiv ist. Also schöne, ruhige Lage. Wir hatten eine tolle Zeit und viele schöne Erlebnisse auf Kreta. Zu emfpehlen: Do & Sa Markt in Heraklion, die Städte Rethymno & Agios Nikolaos, die Roza Schlucht, die Taverna "Filosofos" in Archanes und "Koukounari" in Athanati.

Truly amazing! What is most impressive about Aldea Villa is the beautiful and well thought out design and use of materials, textures and colour scheme which is not only pleasing to the eye, but also functional, very comfortable and well thought out. Her use of lighting inside and outside enhanced the beauty and atmosphere of the rooms, the terrace and garden making everywhere an inviting place to be or look at. For anyone who appreciates design, the villa is definitely a must. Violeta seems to have thought of everything when it comes to kitchen utensils & necessities for people like myself who enjoy cooking. In the bathroom there was soap powder, a hot iron, and sanitary pads etc. — small things which make a difference. As a digital nomad I can highly recommend the villa & WiFi as a workplace or a working holiday. Sunrises, sunsets, mountains & Adonis who brought me fresh oranges & his cheese topped it off! I'll be back! : )
