Dóma, panoramic views, and pool.
What a wonderful place for a peaceful few days! The view is breathtaking and the area is just beautiful. The villa is extremely well appointed and has every amenity you could ask for, including a fantastic salt water pool. Hora Sfakion is a 5 minute drive or 20 minute walk away and has a choice of shops and tavernas all serving great food. My partner and I stayed with our young baby daughter and Alexandra and Lefteris couldn’t have been more helpful setting up a cot and high chair for our arrival.

Green Paradise : Luxury Villa
We stayed at Villa Green Paradies as a group and it was a perfect stay. The villa offers exactly what is promised. It is very private and quiet, a wonderful place to relax, but you can also experience a lot from there. Especially the neighboring village of Margarites is highly recommended, a 10-minute walk and there are beautiful pottery stuff and a very great little cafe, as well as tavernas. Communication with Elias was also flawless and very fast! Every now and then, a few small cat guests come by, who are very happy about something to eat and clean water. Some are very shy, but all very kind and sweet. We were completely satisfied and would be happy to come back ! Thank you Elias! :)

Villa in Plakias w/private pool BBQ, 2 km to Beach
Stunning views and very peaceful. To get the view does mean you can’t easily walk anywhere but restaurants in Sellia are short ride up hill. Well equipped villa. Access road and parking is tight but that is typical for island. Hosts always on hand to assist. Great swimming in Plakias which is a nice seaside town. Sun from early morning to evening (on upper deck) Pool is on backside of villa we stayed in - more for cooling off than a swim. Watch the tiles on steps as they are slippery!

Old Town Villa with private pool - Villa Amaryllis
We loved our stay! We had a lot of bags and you cant drive your car thru old town so was a pain to get everything in but once we did it was great.

Aegean Breeze Rethymno - Wonderful views
We enjoyed a lot our stay in this beautiful villa. The sea view from the pool is amazing and the house is surrounded by olive trees. The host was very responsive and helped us with local recommendations. Highly recommended!

Villa Giorgio
Very nice modern house (less than five years old?) overlooking the sea. Everything in very good working order, including powerful air conditioning in the bedrooms. Frequent cleaning of the pool area was a benefit, particularly when a storm had come in the night before. Very convenient to Rethymno as well as to several bakeries and restaurants towards the centre of the island.

Design meets nature in Crete.
Everything was absolutely perfect, from the warm welcome of Jude and Andreas to the beauty of the place, the cleanliness of the house, its comfort and amenities, the attention to detail, the taste with which the objects were selected, the surrounding landscape and the pool! We had a wonderful week and will definitely come back.

Stone Villa with swimming pool-BBQ!
Great place in beautiful village. Stavros is really helpful, always able to be contacted, highly recommend.

Mondethea in Chania Vantage point home
This was the best AirBnb I've ever stayed at, and it really made our trip to Crete. Maria was an A+ host. She was extremely responsive and helpful and pointed us to all of the best beaches and restaurants. The house is in immaculate condition, very clean, and very spacious, and is only 10 minutes from downtown Chania. Thank you for everything, Maria!

Seaside home
We stayed at Niki's seaside home for 2 weeks. It's the perfect place with privacy and very quiet, especially if you have to work remote. It is 2 min from the beach and walkable distance to restaurants. Niki was a great host, very welcoming and kind and helpful whenever you need something. She provided everything, from beach towels to all kinds if ammenaties. She kindly uncludes nice welcoming gifts and she goes above and beyond to help with your requests should you need something else. Really feels like home away from home.

Fonte d'Oro Luxury Residence
Absolutely fantastic stay. The property is beautiful, well-maintained, and in the perfect location. The host is incredibly responsive and goes above and beyond to ensure a comfortable and seamless experience. Every detail is thoughtfully taken care of, making it the ideal place to stay. Highly recommend

IRO HOUSE 600m from the beach. Gerani Rethymno
This was the best Airbnb we've stayed at. Lovely village with restaurants, a bakery and markets for most of what you'd need. On arrival the house had been generously stocked with more than we expected. Argiro and her family were very kind and helpful. Definitely recommend Iro House. Thanks so much Argiro, we will be back!

Anatoli Residence - in the Old Town of Rethymno
Awesome place. Really modern with all the space you need for a family. Family really loved the space, location, area - all of it.

Orestis downtown home
My family and I had an amazing time during our recent stay at Christos place. Everything we needed was available, and or Christos ensured we had it. Made excellent restaurant recommendations and he booked us a table a the very popular Prima Plora with excellent food, and view. During my stay, I was ableto enjoy the rooftop admiring the lights and ambiance of the old town. I highly reccomend this apartment if you’re in Rethymno, I am looking forward to my next stay.

Roustico Luxury Villa Heated Whirpool
We were a group of 9 and we booked Villa Andreas. There are actually two properties linked through a terrace ( Villa Andreas and Villa Thomas), with two sitting rooms, two kitchens and four bathrooms! The property is newly refurbished and has lots of character features. The beds and bed linen were clean and we had plenty of towels. The jacuzzi is a nice addition - great for relaxing in the evening. Some of the details were not listed but worth mentioning - good selection of medication in the first aid box, laundry liquid supplied (15min cycle washing machine) and complimentary wine, coffee and some local products ( fruits, eggs,etc). Evi, the host, is very helpful and ready to help as she lives locally. Overall, it was a great experience- thank you! We'd like to visit again soon. LE- walking distance (50m) is a lovely taverna with the best moussaka,other tasty local dishes and good Raki. Renting a car is a must - good access to Rethymno ( seaside and shops).

Authentic Crete (Rethymno/Skaleta)
Great communication from Evangelos. Very helpful. The place was lovely with everything we needed and the beach at the end of the garden great for snorkelling. The family were very friendly, helpful and generous We were given delicious fresh eggs and potatoes. Thank you for a lovely stay.

Τhe mood Comfort
The apartment was extra clean and well-maintained. Fully equipped with everything you need. We were regularly blessed with baked goods from the bakery, which was very nice. Check-in times were flexible and communication with the host exemplary. We look forward to staying in this place :)

Stone Project 2,Pigi,Rethymno,Crete
Amazing place, very peaceful and the host is very polite. Definitely recommend

Lotusland, a relaxing house in Amari Valley Crete
The house is truly something special. The interior and design of the house is super tasteful and combines traditional Crete with modern elements. Everything in the house was spotless and brand-new. The view from the terrace was breathtaking and the courtyard was very cosy. We can only recommend this gem of house at Crete. The location is a little remote but perfect to relax and enjoy Crete off the beaten paths. We hope we will come back. Also the village where the house is located is so picturesque. Amazing local tavern with great authentic food are in walking distance.

Palio Damnoni Seafront House
We had a great week at this house at the sea. Our boys loved it. We will come back.

Ellie's Natural Home
We were already in the house of Dionysia in autumn 2024 and since we liked it so much, we lived in Dionysia's house again in May/June 2025. Everything was as great as our first visit. Everything is very tidy and clean, the location is perfect to reach many excursion destinations and Dionysia is simply a wonderful and very warm hostess. It was a fantastic vacation and we felt very comfortable. Thank you, dear Dionysia ❤️

Luxury TreeHouse - A breath away from the beach
All very good and really close to the beach ! Recommended!

House Erato for tranquil holidays
We had a great time at the Erato house. The village is high up, with lovely sea views in the distance. You have to park next to the church, and it's close by. It's quiet, but above all Xaroula's kindness is remarkable. She is very nice, full of attention to her guests. We enjoyed it very much😀.

Traditional stone house South Crete
Beautiful house in a Cretan village, close to the South coast, but far from the hustle and the north too touristy. Xavier and super responsive and it's very much appreciated! We have to emphasize it! Comfort house close to the best tavern. I recommend Xavier's place without hesitation
