Family-friendly vacation rentals in Platanes, Rethymno

I had a great stay here with my two daughters. We all loved the clean, spacious and well equipped villa and Nikos was a very friendly and accessible host. Highly recommended !

Lovely home and beautiful views! Téo is a wonderful host - so friendly and welcoming. We were very comfortable and greatly enjoyed our stay.

The places is perfect.

We stayed as a family of four for a week. The villa consisted a main floor with a modern, clean and well equipped kitchen, a comfortable sitting/dining room with lovely views over souda bay and towards chania. A large jacuzzi bath was also off the sitting area. The rest of this floor was three bedrooms and two bathrooms, one with a shower/ tub combo and the other a wetroom style. A further bedroom/ shower room was on the floor below via an outside staircase as well as a well equiped gym. The outside area was expansive and enough for our boys to run around. The villa also had a number of indoor and outdoor games for the boys to enjoy. But a lot of our time was spent in the heated pool! Overall, we had a thoroughly enjoyable stay. The villa was very clean, comfortable with stunning hilltop views. The location was close to the airport, local resturants and shops and we had food delivered to us a number of times. A special point was the kindness and helpfulness of our hosts, thank you!

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 😁

We spent a month with our 1-year-old daughter at Dimitri's house. The house is walking distance from the sea and a great little bay. The bay is perfect for children. The mini-market and restaurants are also within walking distance. The house was clean and tidy. We lacked nothing. In the evening in bed you could always hear the sea rushing. The garden, like the house, was in impeccable condition. Our daughter particularly enjoyed spending time on the swing here. Dimitris was always easily accessible and immediately on site if there was an issue. We enjoyed our time at Dimitris' and would love to come back.

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.

The Sports Villa was amazing. Great location, beautiful home and incredible hosts. Highly recommend, particularly for families. Our grandson loved the play area and everything was secure. The neighborhood has great tavernas, markets and bakeries. Day trips are easy. You’ll love it

Perfect location! Walking distance to restaurants, shopping, beach and more. Very safe and quiet, yet steps away from everything that you might need.

Very nice house with its private pool, garden and the view to Kournas lake. The house was spotless, everything super clean and with all we need to feel at home (kitchen, games, pool inflatables…). There is a garage for the car. Our host Eleftheria is super nice, very responsive, with good advices and very kind.

We felt super comfortable with John and his family. From the first day, we were actively included in everyday life and always felt very welcome. The room has everything we needed plus some extras 😉 Definitely worth a visit, as you could also reach some beautiful places quickly from there. Most important to us was the village location, far away from tourist strongholds. Thanks for everything

Great house, had everything, even a ping-pong table fully equipped Delightful pool Extremely quiet neighborhood with very nice surroundings and very close to mini markets and taverns At the same time, it is an ideal spot for someone to get to know all the beauties of Rethymno in all directions I would really like to vacation every year in similar homes and such beautiful areas

A truly incredible and special place to stay. The home is beautiful, spacious, and filled with art. The outdoor patio is filled with lush plants and offers a lovely space to sit. The location is perfect, very close to the port yet tucked away from the hustle and bustle. We can not speak highly enough of Valia. She made us feel instantly welcome; was very responsive and provided us with helpful information; and ensured the space has everything you may need. It was truly a privilege to have had the opportunity to stay at this beautiful house during our time in Chania. Thank you Valia for everything!

We had a fantastic week at Harry‘s place. While the location is a bit remote, supermarkets and a restaurant are still within walking distance. For anything else, we had a rental car. The accommodation is excellently equipped. We were 7 people and more than enough dishes in the kitchen. We also made great use of the outdoor grill and pizza oven. Both the house and the outdoor areas are well-maintained, with someone coming every other day to clean the pool and tend the garden. I can definitely recommend this place to anyone!

Amazing villa in an amazing location. Great for the family. Manos and his team could not have been more accommodating or helpful! We had a really great stay.

We absolutely loved our stay at the Corner House - an adorable bijou apartment right in the middle of the town. The location is wonderful with the atmospheric and beautiful narrow streets around, and a lovely view onto a quiet square where the birds fly around. Michalis was so friendly and helpful giving us local recommendations for food. Though the street itself is calm there was a bit of noise of people walking home from their nights out on Saturday night - probably just a Saturday night thing and unavoidable in any city, but just a mention in case you are sensitive to sound! But we absolutely loved the apartment and would recommend to anyone.

We were allowed to experience an extremely warm and open welcome from Maria and Vasillis at the start of the vacation, the handover, the villa, the delicious and abundant welcome dinner for the first evening incl. wine, water and small snacks, were perfect. We got numerous tips on the surroundings, be it taverns, beaches, culture, everything extremely helpful and informative. The communication was exceptionally good, with immediate answers and active help for questions, we were delighted. The villa offers plenty of space, is very well equipped, even milk frothers and juicers were not missing. Vasillis invited us to go with him on an olive tree tour nearby, which was very informative and endearing. Both hosts are really very warm and helpful. We were completely satisfied and very relaxed - we can only recommend this place to everyone! Thanks also for the numerous gifts at the end, we enjoyed staying with you very much!

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.

We had a great time. Good contact with the lessor. I recommend!

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!

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.

Lovely week in this home. We were quiet and the view from the terrace is amazing. The change of sheets and towels during the week is appreciated. The apartment is new inside and very clean. Common areas are cleaned every day which makes the place very clean. Thanks to its configuration, we were able to interact with people who live there and who gave us addresses of taverns and places to visit. After a few days we found small restaurants and beaches next door, very nice. Our stay was excellent!

Wonderful House in beautiful surroundings, big garden, great pool, great views. We really felt at home, every kitchen tool an all necessities were there, shelves full of books in english, german an norwegian language. Eivind is a very nice host who answered promptly to all questions and provided valuable recommendations for nearby restaurants and beaches. We had a wonderful time on Crete!

Amazing place, very relaxing. Beautiful outdoor area with a lovely pool. Marilena was very helpful. Highly recommend and will definitely be returning.
