Kid-friendly vacation rentals in Palaiochora

The place was great. Location was perfect for us: close to some true gems food wise, beaches, wineries, etc. We loved it. We stayed 1 week, so we truly got a chance to enjoy it. Was also able to yoga in the morning with a view on the olive trees. All the little attentions made us feel welcomed.

Atypical place, very quiet and relaxing. Pool to share, very nice when you get back from the beach or hiking.

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.

This place was an amazing place to stay, the views are the best views you can get if you want a wonderful sunset. I would highly recommend staying here. The beds were comfortable, and the host is very kind. They also were thoughtful with setting out and providing the toiletries and left a little snack in the fridge with homemade products. I would absolutely recommend staying here

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!

Great traditional private house (with an attached studio). Very quiet and within walking distance (700 meters) to White Lake Beach and the monastery. Just a 5-minute drive to both Elafonissi Beach and Kedrodasos Beach. The property features a lovely yard, private parking, and is conveniently located about 400 meters from a mini market and several restaurants. The owners are very kind and welcoming. Highly recommended!

Great place directly opposite the beach - fantastic if you have toddlers like us. We ended up having dinner at the restaurant next door every day because the kids could play out there while we ate. If you want to visit the most beautiful beaches on Crete, this west coast location is great (though it should be noted that the beach near the house is actually facing north, which means it is thankfully not frequented by tourists). The host is very friendly and willing to help with any issues. The airbnb was very well equipped and prepared for our visit (including items we would not ordinarily expect like fruit, cake, and even a dinner on the first night - though we obviously knew about it based on previous reviews). We would come back here in a heartbeat!

Eugenia and Mihalis place is a beautiful and charming house high in the mountains with stunning views from the terrace of surrounding mountains. The accommodation was comfortable, clean with all the amenities for an enjoyable stay. Set within easy reach of beach for swimming and lovely hikes through gorges and scenic coastal waters. Eugenia and Mihalis made finding them easy with directions, and a very welcoming arrival. Our stay was made very enjoyable by the charming and helpful couple with coffee in the morning, treats and home cooked delicious dinners on offer. Help with destinations, boat trips, hikes etc were much appreciated. Thank you Eugenia and Mihalis.

We had a wonderful stay at Sifi’s. He is easy going, responsive and provided great recommendations. The apartment is beautiful, modern and we felt very comfortable with our stay. Sadly our visit was short since there are plenty to see and do that we didn’t get to do but I would book this place again if we come back.

Thrasyvoulos’s was a very responsive, proactive and helpful host. The apartment was in an amazing location with great restaurants nearby. Would recommend!

Beautiful views, clean, spacious place and super nice host.

We loved our stay at Elina’s place and could not recommend it enough. It is by far the best equipped Airbnb with have stayed in, with plenty of amenities (and space!) for cooking. If you hire a car, on street parking was readily available, which allowed us to go a bit further afield. Elina’s recommendations and personal touches (fresh oranges and Cretan pies) really made our holiday. It is a well located apartment and easy to get to anywhere you want to be in Chania.

Thank you Pavlina for your welcoming apartment. The apartment is very well situated in the heart of the village near the night life though very calm and quiet. It offers 2 rooms of fair size with air con and a living room kitchen nicely decorated and extremely clean . The kitchen is well equipped everything you need is there. I recommend Pavlina ´s apartment vividly. She is very reactive and nice in communication . Thank you very much. We had a very good stay.

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.

Ioannis was an amazing host for us, super friendly and offering local recommendations and always getting back to us straight away. The apartment is beautiful, if anything it's even better in real life. I didnt realise there was a balcony, which we made use of! We will definitely be back to visit Palechora and the only place we will be staying is right here again!

Joanna’s place was nice, clean and perfectly located in the city centre! Joanna is a great host, very proactive and made us feel like we were at home. Definitely recommend the place and the host!

Quiet area, renovated clean rooms. We had an orange room in the basement with small windows facing the street. The room didn't heat up in the heat, which was great! We stayed 8 nights, the room had soaps and shampoos ready. And some snacks. This was a wonderful surprise. There was a laundry room in the 🙏building where you could wash clothes. This was great because we only traveled with backpacks. The owner was friendly and helpful. Big recommendation!! 10/10

Loved our stay here! The location is great. There is a view of the water and it’s very close walking distance to old town. Parking was really very close. It was usually pretty full, but we always found a spot.

If you love a vacation off the beaten track, away from the crowds of tourist resorts... this is your place. The house is located in a small village attached to the rock with stunning views of the Rokka gorge. The terrace you'll share with other guests is perfect for enjoying breakfast or an aperitif. Be aware that there are cats that come looking for food... for those with allergies... Marianna provided us with food for the first night and was always responsive to any questions or problems. Rokka is the ideal place to explore the beaches of the northwest of the island and Chania. The southwest beaches are at least an hour's drive away. We're taking beautiful memories with us Thank you.

I had a wonderful 12 day stay at the apartment. The location is great - just a few meters from the beach and still 15 minutes to the old town. Checking in with a key box and description was super easy. The host was always extremely responsive. And I mean really fast- I never waited more than a few minutes for a response. He helped me with all the questions and concerns and even lent me an umbrella and got me a yoga mat for my time. Really very helpful and always on site! The apartment is cozy. The bed is very comfortable (I always think that's important!). The sofa is a bit saggy - but it didn't bother me. The kitchen is quite well equipped. There is a real stove, toaster, kettle and microwave (which I didn't use). The balcony is large and you have sun in the morning until early afternoon. There is also a washing machine on the 2nd balcony!

Superb apartment. Spacious, comfortable, modern, well equipped. Great location on edge of town with amazing views of mountains and sea. Very quiet and easy parking. I would thoroughly recommend this apartment.

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.

We had such a great time here! Nikos' place looks exactly as advertised, if not more beautiful. I especially adored the high ceiling, spacial living room/kitchen and lots of natural light. In May Greek weather it's a perfect appartment to comfortably sit outside/inside and sleep at night. The center of Chania is about 10 minutes away by car so a rental car is recommended. Luckily you can easily park it right next to the house. You can also get a taxi to get there, which costs for us 10-15 euros for 2 people. The communication with Nikos was lovely. He gave recommendations, answered questions quickly and made it so everything was clear and comfortable for us.
