Vacation rentals with outdoor seating in Kefalas

We have stayed at many Airbnb’s around the world and this was by far the best experience we have ever had! Kiriaki was there to meet us ( exactly on time ) and brought us to Catis Stone House a short walk away. She explained all the amenities and provided us with fresh fruit, a great bottle of wine and lots of bottled water. The cottage was spotless with quality furnishings , the space had been newly renovated but still had Venetian charm with ancient flagstones and stone walls. The courtyard was extremely private with no one overlooking you and was perfect for a private dinner or sunbathing. The location down a quiet historic pedestrian street was fantastic. You are in the centre of the village yet you felt as if you are in the countryside. The hosts Kiriaki and Michhalis are the best hosts and we count them as friends now !

We had a wonderful stay at Evangelo’s place. Check in was smooth and we were met with some groceries which was helpful. Always replied quickly and with helpful information. The views were incredible and very peaceful. Due to its remote location, you need a car but it was perfect for a quiet getaway. Some special memories here :) thanks!

If you are searching for paradise, you will find it here! Words can‘t describe the magic of this place. It‘s all about the details of design and living (from the signature house scent and the open-air shower to the tasteful interior design and the infinity pool overlooking the rough cliffs of crete), total peace far away from hustle and bustle and waking up to the breathtaking, unmatched view of the sea right from your bed. Einat was a great host, she welcomed us personally and was always there for any questions. Good to know: In the region are not many mini- or supermarkets and everything is at least a 15 min drive away. But you can enjoy a delicious breakfast at the apartment if you want so and Einats recommendations for great tavernas, beaches and beautiful villages in the area are worth every ride! You should listen to her tips, because some of them were the gems of our crete trip for sure. It was definetly not our last visit. Thanks for the great experience!

We really enjoyed our stay at this vacation home. The location is quiet and offers a great view of the sea – perfect for unwinding. The house is tastefully decorated and equipped with everything you need. The landlords were friendly and helpful and made the stay pleasant. All in all, a nice house for a relaxing beach vacation.

The house has a well-kept garden that is pleasant to spend time in. The location is convenient for reaching the main street even if it is immersed in the countryside

Absolutely magical! Roula’s stone house is an incredibly picturesque and charming place to stay. The terrace is a dream – shaded naturally by a tree and offering a stunning view of the sunset. The house is beautifully and comfortably furnished, with everything you might need. A little heads-up for tall people: the doorway to the terrace is a bit low – you might want to duck (don’t worry, we laughed every time!). There are some fantastic tavernas just around the corner, and it’s the perfect starting point for scenic hikes through the area. We loved every minute of our stay and would come back in a heartbeat!

Simply stunning apartment, glorious views and easy access to the little village of Kalyves. We spent most days by the pool and evenings eating at the many restaurants by the beach. The apartment is beautiful and well equipped, the views from the living room are stunning. Eleni is an attentive and very responsive host who looked after us extremely well. We will be back very soon!

Amazing place, exactly as pictured. It's about a 6/7 minute drive from downtown Gavalohori. To reach it, you have to walk a rather dirt road: but the view, once you get to the top, pays off. The location is really quiet, the only noise you hear is that of the sheep grazing (however very pleasant!) The pool is of the Infinity pool, overlooking the sea, which you can see in the distance. Wonderful. Overall highly recommended, just follow the directions to reach it (use the indicated georeferencing!).

Excellent!!! Such a lovely host - you will feel welcomed and well taken care of. They had everything I needed ready for my toddler son to feel comfortable in a new space. The view was so lovely to enjoy mornings and evenings. The place was pristine and had everything we needed. Will definitely stay here when I return to Chania.

The photos do not do this beautiful place justice. The flowers and greens are so bright, and you have a view of mountains and the sea. Tina is incredibly kind and accommodating, and very easy to communicate with. She sent me home with some wonderful herbs from her garden - they smell amazing! She also treated me to some homemade Cretan cake she baked at the start of my trip. As a solo traveller, this was incredibly special and I am so grateful to her. Driving around the area is fantastic with so many beaches and hikes in the surrounding area. The space is very clean and comfortable! I hope to one day return.

Great location, very short walk to the port, beautiful view of the ocean from the balcony. The host was extremely responsive and always willing to help make our stay comfortable! Apartment was very clean and the jacuzzi is a great feature. Multiple cafe’s/bars just downstairs with great food, drinks, and service. Highly recommend staying at this property if you want to be close to the venetian port and all Chania has to offer.

We felt very comfortable and were super warmly received! Had a beautiful view and everything was easy to reach!! Always happy to come back!

Such a phenomenal place! We stayed here as a group of five and it was so reasonably priced. AMAZING views, you are literally right against the water. Gorgeous, clean space. Easy 15 minute walk into Old Town. Host was amazing, she helped us call a taxi when we needed and gave us lots of recommendations. Stay here!!!

We had a pleasant stay at Dimos's. Impeccable apartment, very popular terrace, good location, minutes from restaurants. Very quiet place. Dimos responds quickly to questions. Private parking, very much appreciated. Helpful detailed suggestions in a binder. No problem recommending. Line and Maurice, Canada

A lovely stay. Beautiful views. Perfect for 2 people. The veranda overlooking the ocean was incredible. The home is clean, bathroom is modern and spacious, and the proximity to excellent food made this one of my favorite Airbnb's in Greece.

Absolutely fantastic place with a breathtaking location. The hosts were so friendly and made sure that we were happy throughout our stay, offering assistance when needed. We were sad to leave and would love to stay again.

Konstantinos' apartment is excellent, very nice and well equipped with everything you need, it' simply perfect! Konstantinos and Stelina are also very friendly hosts . We had a very pleasant stay in their apartment and can highly recommend it to anybody. Our stay was wonderful.

This is absolutely our favorite Airbnb that we've ever stayed in (and we've stayed in a lot). The place is adorable. Katerina is very responsive and lives right by the apartment. The view is wonderful, and both the living room and twin bedroom have doors that open onto that view. It has everything you need and more, with Katerina providing treats and even cereal and milk for that first morning. The air conditioning worked well, but there is also a lovely breeze from the sea. There are tons of restaurants and cafes just below the apartment as well as with 5 and 10 minutes walk in Old Town. It would be comfortable for a couple and a third person (such as a child) or two people, each with their own room. The washing machine was great to have, and you can dry clothes on the lines off the balcony. We did not want to leave.

We had a lovely but short stay at Valia’s very spacious apartment for our family of 5. The wrap around balcony was a treat and the rooms stayed cold and dark to allow us to sleep off our jet lag. Nice and close to old town Chania and lots of spots nearby for coffee/wine and pastry!

The places is perfect.

This Airbnb is just like the photos and worth the distance from Old Town (about 0.4 miles). The terrace wraps around the entire flat and has many seating options in sunshine and in shade. It’s surrounded by beautiful, well-cared for plants with a stunning view of the Sea of Crete and of Chania itself. You can take the stairs or there is an elevator. The hostess left some local treats for us as well as a lovely bouquet of flowers! Absolutely top notch! There is also air conditioning if the fresh air is too warm. The hostess was friendly and responsive. This was the best of 4 Airbnb’s we stayed in throughout Europe. The only thing to note is that the electricity is only on when the card is in the holder by the door. So, if you leave with the dryer or dishwasher running or charging devices, they will pause until you return.

Fabulous attentive host. Light bright spacious apartment with a lift. Generous welcome pack , great walk in shower, large extremely comfortable beds and nice fresh linen. Large Windows and sliding doors onto two terraces , one with the hot tub! Sunset and sea views from both terraces. Close to bars and restaurants with Indigos our favourite just across the road on the beach front. We hired a car from the host and went on an adventure. Definitely the way to see Crete! The mountainous centre is fantastic and you get to discover other great places. Recommend Evita beach Bali which is just 30 mins along the coast. Truly a piece of heaven. Very sad to leave!!! Thank you so much for everything!

A spacious apartment, very nicely decorated, bright, with beautiful views, very well located, the sound of the sea lulled us at night. The beautiful terrace for breakfast or dinner. We had a parking space right next to the apartment, super practical. Konstantinos responded to us very quickly, very friendly A perfect week

This is the second time staying with Dimitris. Manos , thank you for your hospitality and attentiveness while staying with you . We really appreciate it . We loved the restaurant you recommended in the old town as well as arranging a taxi for us to the airport . Hope to see you again soon
