Cycladic house vacation rentals in Rethymno

This little house is a truely wonderful place. The pool is fantastic. You have to drive up the hill - but it”s worth it.

We were two families with two children and spend a week in Lena’s house. The villa is specious and comfortable. Pool was nice and clean. The house is in a remote location so you do need a car for everything, but you are in a less touristy and quiet spot of Crete and you can reach most of the top attractions within an hour drive. It’s about 15min drive to the nearest beach and 45min to Rhetymno town. It’s also easy to go to the mountains.

Beautiful location and amazing views. Slightly awkward to drive to with slightly bad very hilly roads so a 4x4 would have felt safer but we managed with a small rental car. The villa was lovely and the views were to die for. The infinity pool was really nice. We were welcomed by the owner and his wife himself with a nice welcome pack of provisions. Only (small) caveat is the necessity for a car as even the nearby village, beach and shops was a bit of a hilly trek. Overall a wonderful experience and would stay again.

Papa Pavlov's house was cozy simple and personal. A house with soul and many nice nooks to sit in when it was hot, windy, or dark. We were there for 5 weeks. Enjoyed tours around the island and also relaxing in Kerames town. Went many trips with the dog. Met nice people who we greeted but couldn't talk to because of the language. A really good grocery store 200m away and div. Taverna We would highly recommend the place and would love to come back. Ps our dog could stay inside the lower yard when we brought a baby glitter.

What a fabulous place. Fabulous vew. and the owner's father who checked us in and waved us off... fabulous. Thank you!

Vagelis's place has an amazing view! It is quiet and calm and well thought out. The BBQ space by the pool is great. The village of Agia Palagia has lovely little bars and restaurants and is really close to the house. Thank you Vagelis for a wonderful stay!

We had a wonderful third time in this house and village. Ian and Bev are warm and welcoming hosts!

We were really delighted with the beautiful soundings with distant view of the sea and forests and mountains. The accommodation was very fairly priced and the staff were helpful at all times. Lovely remote, pretty village with small shops, restaurants and beach 15 minute drive away. 30 minute drive to Chania old town which is worth a visit.

We had the most wonderful stay at Wild Pear Villa. The villa is beautiful with a fantastic view of Agia Pelagia and the sea. It was in perfect condition, super clean, stocked with everything you need. We did not have a car but it's a short walk down to a small but lovely beach where you will find a few restaurants and a mini market. A little further walk will take you to Agia Pelagia which has many more restaurants and shops. Our hosts were wonderful. Anna and Victoria quickly replied to any questions we had and their mother Olga greeted us with food, fruits and beverages which we really appreciated arriving in the evening after a long flight from New York. Lovely people and a lovely home. We honestly didn't want to leave!

We had a wonderful week here. The villa is beautiful and 100% matching the photos. We had a warm welcome by Maria and she was also always available for any questions during the week.

The villa was absolutely stunning! It was very clean, spacious and modern. Panagoula was an amazing host, she made us feel right at home. She welcomed us with authentic refreshments and snacks for the stay. She gave us recommendations of many local restaurants, shops and sightseeing locations, which was really helpful. The villa had a beautiful pool, bbq area(outdoor kitchen) and we loved the outdoor fireplace. The views from the villa was beautiful and peaceful. Also we would recommend Panagoula car rental service too, it was a reasonable price and very much needed to explore Crete and getting around. I would highly recommend this villa to anyone! It was definitely worth it. Panagoula really took care of us and the attitude to always help with anything made the stay so much better and memorable. Thank you again my friend :)

10/10 would recommend! Everything was according to the description and worth the price. Our apartament was clean and spacious, very well equipped for daily use. Odisseas & Evita were available and very helpful while sharing their recommendations. The town is small and rather quiet in April but the views and surroundings were most beautiful.

A top villa with a helpful host. Also everything was clean. We had a great time. Thank you for having us.

We loved this Villa so much. The location is perfect, the lovely village with great taverns (we loved eating at Georgia’s traditional tavern. It is a must!). The pool is lovely and the villa itself was so spacious and comfortable, We felt so welcomed by Minoas. The communication was great, Minoas was so helpful with giving us lots of recommendations, helping with every tiny problem we had, even late at night. I cannot recommend this Villa enough. Thank you Minoas for your superb hospitality.

Our stay at Villa Theano in Triopetra was exceptional! The Etouri team was very professional, helpful, and ensured smooth communication from start to finish. The owner of the villa was so kind and generous, making our stay unforgettable with thoughtful touches that made us feel truly welcomed. The regular housekeeping service and towel changes were wonderful details that made our experience feel like a wonderful hotel stay, adding an extra layer of comfort. Upon arrival, we were greeted with a delightful fruit basket, olive oil, and a bottle of wine, which made for such a warm and special welcome. The villa itself is a peaceful paradise with breathtaking views and beautiful surroundings, perfect for those seeking a serene escape. We highly recommend Villa Theano to anyone looking for a tranquil escape in the South of Crete, and we would love to be back!

We were a family of 11, 5 of which children, and our stay was just perfact. the Villa is even better in real life, the pool and Suana were great, the kitchen was good as well and the rooms were very nice. Maria was very responsive and helpful. overall our stay was amazing and I highly recommend it.

We really loved our stay at Galini Breeze which was last stop on our honeymoon trip. We were made to feel very welcome by Serhat on arrival and throughout our time both Serhat and Hamza were super friendly hosts. They also provided us with some great recommendations on secluded beaches to visit. The hotel itself was lovely, with beautiful pool area overlooking the Mount Ida in one direction and the coast. Rooms were very contemporary with lovely private balconies. It was nice how they had thought about everything, and even had a washing machine, a selection of beach toys/ sun umbrellas. While a bit touristy we enjoyed Agia Galini, plus it is an amazing base to explore if you have access to a hire car and don't mind the hills. Other than that the driving was fine. Thanks

Great stay. private location. very responsive host

House was lovely and Minoas was terrific looking after us. Loads of recommendations for activities and alway available if we had any questions. A pleasure staying in his beautiful villa.

We stayed for a week in Crete and looked for something quite to relax. This great house is located in a calm area, had a wonderful pool, perfect to recharge the batteries. We felt home from the first minute.

Absolute paradise for a relaxing vacation! We will miss the morning coffee with sea view. The Airbnb looks exactly like the photos and description; we felt super comfortable right away. Maria is very helpful and always responds quickly. Her dear mother welcomed us warmly and brought us the most delicious pita in between. We will be happy to come back!
