Elouthia Residence with Sea View and Hot Tub
Wir haben unseren Aufenthalt in Marias Haus sehr genossen. Anreise und Abreise erfolgten ohne Probleme und sehr flexibel. Die Kommunikation mit Magdalena verlief hervorragend. Bei Fragen genügte eine kurze Nachricht, die immer sofort beantwortet wurde. Vor Ort erwarteten uns Maria und ihr kleiner – sehr süßer – Hund Rudi. Maria ist eine wunderbare Frau, die uns sehr herzlich und mit köstlichen Geschenken begrüßt hat. Auch während unseres Aufenthaltes brachte sie uns immer mal wieder kleine selbstgekochte Überraschungen vorbei. Das Haus ist wunderschön und sehr sauber. In der Küche findet man alles, was man zum Kochen benötigt, die Betten waren gemütlich und der Ausblick aus den drei Terrassen einfach atemberaubend. Wir haben es sehr genossen, auf der Terrasse zum Wohnzimmer lange und ausgiebig zu frühstücken und dabei auf das Meer zu blicken. Obwohl wir zwei Wochen in Marias Haus verbrachten, ist uns der Abschied am Ende sehr schwergefallen. Wir würden sehr gerne wiederkommen.

Panoramic 2 bedroom appartment & private jacuzzi
Very much enjoyed our stay at Tasos’s apartment! It was clean and comfortable and he was very flexible with check-in/check-out as we had flight delays and arrived later then we expected, along with having to check-out at 3:30 in the morning to catch our flight. He was great at communicating, responding promptly, and also gave us a bunch of recommendations on things to do locally. Would definitely stay here again, and totally recommend to others!

Villa Sea Horizon
Teo war der beste Host, den ich jemals auf Airbnb hatte. Alles war super und bei Problemen war Teo sofort hilfsbereit und freundlich zur Stelle. Der Ausblick von der Terrasse war traumhaft und die Zimmeranordnung perfekt. Ich würde jedem die Unterkunft weiterempfehlen!

Agritourism house in organic Orgon farm [1]
Orgon Farm is a lovely, serene getaway. Located 30min south of Heraklion, it was a perfect central location. We enjoyed the baskets left every other morning by Manolis and his charming farm. We dream of staying here again!

Villa Giorgio
we has an amazing time at the Villa. Beautiful accommodation and very spacious inside. lovely and modern with everything we needed. The pool was amazing, very clean and the jacuzzi jets were an added bonus. Anastasia was very responsive to any questions and was very helping in a situation we had to deal with. Highly recommend 😁

Mano's House
Wir haben mit unserer 1 Jährigen Tochter einen Monat bei Dimitris im Haus verbracht. Das Haus liegt nur wenige Gehminuten vom Meer und einer tollen kleinen Bucht entfernt. Die Bucht ist perfekt für Kinder. Auch der Mini-Markt und Restaurants befinden sich fußläufig in Reichweite. Das Haus war sauber und ordentlich. Uns hat es an nichts gefehlt. Abends im Bett konnte man immer das Meer rauschen hören. Der Garten war, wie das Haus auch, in einem tadellosen Zustand. Hier hat unsere Tochter auf der Schaukel besonders gerne Zeit verbracht. Dimitris war immer gut erreichbar und sofort an Ort und Stelle, wenn es ein Problem gab. Wir haben die Zeit bei Dimitris genossen und würden sehr gerne wiederkommen.

Casa Sofia, Cottage house, By Hellocrete
Casa Sofia is a beautiful 2 storey house equipped as 2 separate living floors but ideal for extended family. It’s up a steep hill above the village but a short distance (5mins) walk into the centre of Spili, which has small supermarkets, a few high quality restaurants and bars with excellent local food. Car park access outside house bit tight but we had a medium SUV and managed fine. You can park in village too if you need to. Hellocrete team are fantastic, quick to respond and solve any issues. It was a chilly week in Crete and they organised fire logs for the main lounge which made a super warm fire. Family of 4 age ranges 24-84 and we all loved this special location. We didn’t need one but noticed the baby cot was excellent quality! Unfortunately we didn’t use pool or hot tub but they were beautifully clean. We would definitely book again. The local people so friendly and scenery for walking and nature are stunning.

Promachon Villa
Stella and her family was friendly and very helpful while we were staying at her families beautiful villa. The villa is stunning and clean. It has all you need while you stay at the villa. Would highly recommend staying at this accommodation. Likely to return in the future! The peacocks add to this beautiful location looking over the mountains of Crete.

Villa Alma in Crete, Sea View 2min from the beach!
Très beau logement, très belle vue. Avec 2 grand balcon, la plage était accessible facilement à pied. On aurait aimé rester plus longtemps. Je recommande fortement.

BIO garden New House
Wir haben uns bei John und seiner Familie super wohl gefühlt. Vom ersten Tag an, wurden wir aktiv in den Alltag aufgenommen und haben uns immer sehr willkommen gefühlt. Das Zimmer hat alles was wir brauchten plus einige Extras 😉 Auf jeden Fall einen Besuch wert, da man von dort aus auch einige schöne Orte schnell erreichen konnte. Am wichtigsten war uns die dörfliche Lage,weit entfernt von Touristenhochburgen. Danke für alles

Afratias - private house at the beach
Die Unterkunft von Heike war super gepflegt und hatte alles was das Herz begehrte. Wir haben uns wohl gefühlt und unsere Zeit sehr genossen! Heike war auch beim Tag unserer Anreise vor Ort und hat uns persönlich viele hilfreiche Tipps gegeben und uns alles nötige erklärt. Sie war auch jederzeit schnell für uns erreichbar. Utensilien fürs Grillen von Fleisch und Fisch waren auch vollständig vorhanden. Die umliegenden Kleinstädte mit zahlreichen Lokalitäten sind mit dem Auto schnell und leicht zu erreichen. Wer sportlich ist, schafft es auch zu Fuß :) . Aber auch zu Hause kann man die Seele gut baumeln lassen, entweder in einer Hängematte oder einer Liege.

Sunset home Crete 2
We loved our stay in Alex's apartment. Tris Ekklisies is a perfect peaceful seaside village, away from the crowds. The beach is so close and we loved the quiet side, finding a spot under a tree for the day. The sea is great for snorkeling and there are a few tavernas to choose from. The drive down the mountain is spectacular, we recommend Sunny Hill Cafe for a drink or some food on the way. The apartment was lovely, bright and comfortable. We hope to be back one day!

Stavio - East studio - Panoramic sea view.
We had a wonderful stay with our two kids at Stavros apartment. The house is very Cosy with a well equipped kitchen, nice bathroom with washing machine, but the best is the great terrace with a stunning view over the area of plakias! There are many nice beaches around which are easy going for children and a lot of good creetan taverns. We recommend a stay in this great location and thank Stavros for his warm welcome and advice during our stay. It is really a one of a kind airbnb! Claudia and family

Luxury villa with infinity pool and Jacuzzi
The place is fantastic, and just like in the photos - a villa in the mountains with a beautiful view, in great condition with plenty of amenities, everything was clean and design was tasteful and spacious. It's just a 15 minute drive to Heraklion or 5 minutes to the closest convenience store, and Theo was incredibly helpful, form navigating us to the area to helping us make dinner reservations to some restaurants, and was always available. Perfect location, perfect service. Miss that place already!

Panoramic View Villa in OliveGroves
Beautiful home with spectacular views! Hosts were very kind and met us in the village to personally show us to the house. Great local guide and recommendations for things to do in the area. Evenings reading on the veranda looking over the hills and listening to the village were a dream!

Exceptional view & Comfort
Wir durften einen ausgesprochen herzlichen und offenen Empfang von Maria und Vasillis zum Urlaubsauftakt erleben, die Übergabe, die Villa, das leckere und reichliche Willkommensessen für den ersten Abend incl. Wein, Wasser und Kleinen Snacks, waren perfekt. Wir bekamen zahlreiche Tipps zur Umgebung, sei es Tavernen, Strände, Kultur, alles ungemein hilfreich und informativ. Die Kommunikation war außergewöhnlich gut, bei Fragen gab es umgehend Antworten und aktive Hilffe, wir waren begeistert. Die Villa bietet viel Raum, ist sehr gut ausgestattet, selbst Milchschäumer und Saftpresse haben nicht gefehlt. Vasillis bat uns an, mit ihm auf eine Olivenbaumtour in der Nähe zu gehen, die sehr informativ und liebenswert war. Beide Gastgeber sind wirklich ausgesprochen herzlich und hilfsbereit. Wir waren rundum zufrieden und sehr erholt - können diese Unterkunft nur jedem Empfehlen! Vielen Dank auch für die zahlreichen Präsente zum Abschluß, wir haben den Aufenthalt bei Euch sehr genossen!

Villa Niolos I, Near Marathi Beach with eco pool
Absolutely amazing host and villa. Kosta and his office were brilliant and when we got to the villa we were met by Stella. She could not have done more to make our stay any better; communication was seamless, so many local suggestions, local produce left throughout the stay, the loan of a stoneware pot to use in the pizza oven over tonight to slow cook vegetables, honestly everything and more. The villa is exactly like the photos - stunning. Breath taking location with a view we all miss now we are home. The layout of the villa is excellent; it is beautifully decorated, the outside kitchen area is perfect and much used. The landscaping is wonderful, and the pool is gorgeous. The villa was meticulously cleaned throughout our stay and the pool and garden maintained to the highest standard. We had the most wonderful holiday; thank you so much Stella and your team for everything.

Kalostous villa 4, Pool,Great location & Views
We had a great time. Good contact with the lessor. I recommend!

Olive Villa Crete
From the moment we arrived to the moment we left we had a fantastic time and stay at Olive Villa. Panagiotis and Olga are an absolutely delightful couple as well as kind, generous and hard-working hosts. It is clear that they both take great pride in their home and also go out of their way to ensure the accommodation and facilities they provide for their guests are of an extremely high standard. We were hugely impressed by and spent a lot of time relaxing in the beautiful garden (immaculately tended) as well as in the swimming pool (very clean and well-maintained) and dining in the outside bbg area (fantastically set out and equipped). We cannot recommend it highly enough and dearly hope to be able to return in the not too distant future!

Spacious stonebuilt villa in a tranquil setting!
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.

Steliana's House _Ground Floor with Private Pool
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!

Marilena's place - Private Pool & Relax
Appartement avec très joli jardin et très belle piscine. Il y a un emplacement pour la voiture. Marilena nous a très bien accueillis, et en français en plus 😊! Elle nous a informés des activités à faire dans la région.

Villa Thimari - Private pool, sea view & privacy
