Family-friendly vacation rentals in Mavrikiano

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.

Truly beautiful villa! The photos simply do not do this place justice - this wonderful ‘wow’ factor home & surroundings are gorgeous. My family felt immediately at home & relaxed. Villa was clean, well stocked with equipment & our hosts Eleni & Marinos were lovely - both on hand when required & respectful of our privacy. We received a welcome package which was very thoughtful. Filter machine meant no need for bottled water. We walked up to Old Hersonissos a couple of times & enjoyed some lovely food & a little shopping in a vibrant atmosphere. Also we went shopping down in Limenas Chersonisou. We enjoyed BBQ at our villa, eating outside during a full super moon! 🌖 The mountain, the sea view & the sunsets are absolutely stunning. The outdoor gazebo area is fantastic for chilling day or night, with cold drinks (or ice creams) immediately on hand from the outdoor fridge. A/C great for all different areas, but the breeze was just as nice sometimes in the main area. Highly recommend 😊

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!

We had a wonderful stay here. Very peaceful. Often all you will hear are the bells clanging from the local goats. Delicious food at the onsite taverna. Beautiful lodge, with special touches such as a bottle of wine waiting for us to congratulate us on our wedding. Of note, this villa is very high up in the mountains. If you're flying into heraklian airport that evening, it's a long and dark drive up some very narrow and winding roads, so you may want to make the drive in the daytime. It's about an hour drive up/down the mountain to any other town so be prepared to drive. But the scenery is beautiful...majestic mountains.

An amazing house with a very helpful and responsive host. Would stay again.

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.

Stella's home was absolutely stunning. Comfortable, beautiful decorated, and nestled in the hills overlooking stunning sea views. Stella's father met us upon check-in and we so appreciated all the personal touches. Stella also made every effort to accommodate us during the stay. Thanks again, and while I'm sorry we couldn't stay for the full time, I hope we can be back one day!

Honnetement c'était magnifique, dès l'arrivé on tombe directement face à une vue extraordinaire, le logement était propre et bien pratique. Tout y est pour s'y sentir bien, merci Delphine (et Georgia qui nous a accueilli ) !

We absolutely loved this villa, Mania very kindly greeted us at Midnight as we had a late flight, and yes the reviews are right, she arrived with the most amazing moussaka and even made a vegetarian one. Mania was always available for any advice/recommendations and managed the tricky combination of being present but not intrusive. There was also a really thoughtful welcome gift of homemade food waiting for us. The kitchen was really well equipped, and super clean, we ate in a lot and enjoyed dinners on the covered terrace. We loved the pool, the kids especially, we spent a lot of time in the pool as it was very hot. The beds were comfy, the rooms all have their own bathroom, and terraces, there was lots of thoughtful touches throughout. The garden is beautiful and I don't think we managed to sit in all the different seating areas in the week. The winner for me was the decor, it was so beautiful, it was like staying in house in a Home Decor magazine. We will definitely come back.

The is a family house, simple, pleasent and authentic. The natural surroundings are amazing. The silence is incredible. Meni and Andreas, the owners, are very nice people and we felt the love they invested in every detail. Thanks 🙏

Luisa's place is a magnificent little gem nestled in an amazing surrounding. It's the perfect hideout if you enjoy the tranquility of village life and hiking the mountains. The little house is beautifully decorated with local materials and furniture, giving it a warm and cozy feel. The view from the terrace is breathtaking! (also for looking at the stars at night) We thoroughly enjoyed our hikes in the mountains and gorges, and dining at the family tavernas in the neighbouring towns/villages, which offered delicious food. Luisa was extremely helpful and responsive, providing us with a long list of excellent recommendations for restaurants, day trips, shopping, and more. Thanks for everything, Luisa! We will certainly come back!

Pasiphae House was something out of a dream! It was beautifully designed in the traditional Crete Village homes style. The location is isolate in the mountains, but amongst a great community of people. We were greeted by Yianna and Koula that gave us the walk through of the house, and we're always in constant communication. Ioanna supplied us with a long list of things to do and try in the area which we took full advantage of. Overall it was a beautiful stay and would highly recommend.

la villa est très belle et fonctionnelle. la vue sur la mer est à couper le souffle. c'est un petit émerveillement chaque matin.

We had an absolutely fantastic stay at Manoli’s! The house was stunning, nestled in a beautiful village that made our two-night stay even more special. The property was fully equipped with everything we needed, making it feel like a home away from home. The host was excellent, maintaining great communication. We also loved the nearby restaurant, which was superb and added to the overall experience. We truly had a great time and would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a relaxing getaway!

Είχαμε μία πολύ ευχάριστη διαμονή. Ο χώρος διαμονής βρίσκεται στα όρια του πευκοδάσους. Ήταν πολύ ήσυχα και λίγο απομονωμένα. Ότι πρέπει για ξεκούραση. Το κατάλυμα περιείχε τα πάντα. Ο οικοδεσπότης μας υποδέχτηκε κρατώντας ένα μπουκάλι κρασί. Σε ευχαριστούμε πολύ Κωνσταντίνε.

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!

Wir hatten als Familie mit Kleinkind einen super Aufenthalt! Die ganze Umgebung ist sehr schön und gepflegt, die Wohnungen sind originell & ordentlich / sauber. Hier und da ist die Küche etwas reduziert ausgestattet, wir haben uns jedoch zurecht gefunden. Christos ist sehr freundlich, Check in und Check out waren super einfach. Wir kommen gern wieder! Vielen Dank für alles

Lovely clean villa and we all enjoyed the great pool area. Stelios was a great host and greeted us on arrival with a friendly and helpful attitude, he was always very easily contactable throughout our stay. The villa is set in a quiet area and hiring a car to get around is recommended. It is a 15-20 minute walk to the restaurants of the Old Town, which is a lovely family friendly place to go. We had a relaxing stay and would not hesitate to recommend!

The pictures don’t do this view justice. It’s breathtaking! The home is gorgeous and the outdoor space is wonderful. It was too cold for us to swim but we still enjoyed time at the beach. Most of the immediate area was already shut down for the season during our stay but there is a lovely area about a mile walk away. We spent a lot of time there enjoying the coffee shops and restaurants. The house and rooms were fantastic and there was more than enough space for everyone to relax. The host was amazing and went above and beyond to help us when we left some glasses at a restaurant. Thank you so much for a great stay!!

We had a wonderful time. The villa felt private even though there are two other villas next door. My friends and I loved the pool and how spacious the whole place was. We had stunning views of the nearby sea and town. Each bedroom has it's own bathroom. The only negative was the water pressure in the upstairs showers. Nota was very accommodating. She offered to clean the apartment during our stay and helped us arrange our hire cars. (From my group's experience, a car is highly recommended as taxis and public transport weren't great). The village, beaches and restaurants in the area were also great. Overall, my friends and I were very happy with our stay and would definitely come back.

Excellent location, and the villa was very spacious and quiet. Maria was excellent with great recommendations and always available to help. :)

We have enjoyed our stay , the host is very helpful , the room is clean , it looks exactly like the photos , the view is fabulous. You need a car to move around , go to the beach and visit the city. I recommend

Hôte très agréable et serviable. Maison et piscine chauffée conformes aux attentes.

Wir haben mit 5 Erwachsenen phantastische erholsame 2 Wochen in Alexandros Villa verbracht. Die Villa ist mit allem ausgestattet, was man sich für einen komfortablen Urlaub wünscht. Wir haben uns von Beginn an wohlgefühlt. Besonders hervorheben möchten wir die herausragende Lage der Villa. Der Blick gerade vom oberen Balkon auf die Berge ist atemberaubend. Mit einer Sitzmöglichkeit würde der Balkon noch einladender sein, um den einen oder anderen Sonnenuntergang genießen zu können. Alexandros ist ein wunderbarer Gastgeber. Er hat uns persönlich vom Flughafen abgeholt, half uns beim Transport der Gepäckstücke und begleitete uns zur Villa. Er gab uns wertvolle Tips zum Erkunden der Insel und war jederzeit für uns erreichbar. Das gab uns ein gutes Gefühl. Wir Können die Villa von Alexandros uneingeschränkt empfehlen.
