Seafront 5 Bedroom Villa With Pool, Sauna
A Slice of Paradise ā Five Stars All Around! We had the most incredible time staying at this large and stunning villa in the Loutraki/Chania area. The property is nothing short of breathtaking, with lush, beautifully maintained gardens and crystal-clear water right at your doorstep. The direct beach access was a dreamāso easy and convenientāand we spent countless hours floating in the calm sea and enjoying the serene, quiet atmosphere. The views from every direction were spectacular, making it hard to leave the villa! The villa itself is exquisite, with a spacious, well-designed area for cooking and relaxing. Itās the perfect blend of luxury and comfort. Demetrios, our host, went above and beyond, offering incredible hospitality and even surprising me with a birthday cake, which made our stay all the more special. If youāre looking for a tranquil, beautiful retreat this is the place!

Villa Giasemi I Countryside heaven & mountain view
lovely villa, very friendly and helpful host, thank you for a great stay!

Villa Chara 3 bedroom unique design Villa
It was absolutely perfect. We had contact via WhatsApp before arrival, so it was no problem at all to get to the accommodation. The house is a dream, 25 minutes from the airport, the nearest tavern is 5 minutes away and highly recommended. Everything was perfectly clean. It was even wiped once during our stay and new towels were also provided. Everything you need is there, even a basic supply of food, it would satisfy the first hunger. There is absolutely nothing negative to report, we would love to come back.

Askianos II Lux Villa - The Ultimate Elegant Oasis
We had a wonderful stay at Kitsaās place. The accommodation was spotlessly clean, very well-equipped, and provided everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Communication with Kitsa was excellent ā she was always helpful, quick to respond, and made sure we had everything we needed while also being very respectful of our privacy, which we truly appreciated. We felt completely at ease throughout our time there and would gladly return. Highly recommended!

Villa Celestia - Infinity Pool & Amazing Sea View
Memorable stay at Villa Celestia. We needed a quiet and relaxing break for our family and the villa exceeded all our expectations. Wonderful with a fantastic view, the villa is thoughtfully designed with a well catered for kitchen and dining areas inside and out. Although it was April, we managed to enjoy the pool, and relaxing on the loungers, which was framed by the gorgeous view of the bay. We easily travelled around the north and central parts of the island, and followed a few of stamatisā recommendations - thank you! We even rented a car via his company Eurocars, which was very good. A truly memorable stay in Crete. Wholeheartedly recommend!

PhantΩm Villas, Villa Kateena (heated pool)
Breathtaking view! The house is brand new, it corresponds exactly to the pictures shown. The pool is very large & during the day there is a perfect mix of sunny and shady spots. There are many small taverns nearby, you never had to drive far. Very clear recommendation for this villa, it is perfect & we would love to come back anytime!

Villa Oasis
We had a great time in this lovely Cretan stone house, very clean and perfectly equipped. Toilet linen is changed twice a week and bed linen is changed every week, in addition to the cleaning done very regularly, which was not mentioned in the listingš. The village is very lively and there are excellent restaurants , as well as a small convenience store perfectly busy. Maria Ionna is a very responsive host to our requests and always very friendly . I highly recommend this location!

Vertigo Stone Villa with private pool
The house has been fully redecorated to a high modern day standard. It's spacious and very private, also thanks to the walled inner garden with swimming pool, and possibilities to park two cars behind an electronically operated gate. The house is clean and the beds very comfortable. Also ideal when traveling with two couples of which one has children, because one bedroom has a separate front door that is accessible from the garden (under the roof top terrace). A very nice local restaurant and a supermarket are within walking distance. I highly recommend staying here!

100m to Beach / Private Pool / Family-Friendly
We had a very nice stay at this place. The host and his caretaker was very helpful from the day we came to we left. The Strandvilla was very nice. What you se at the pictures is what you get. The house and the garden/pool area was very nice and clean. The house and the pool was cleaned several time during our stay. The kitchen has all you need to make dinner etc. We were 2 adults and 6 young peoples, the neighbor on the one side was familys whith small kids and the other neighbour was a group of adult ladies, so this villas fits for everyone. Close by (70 meters) you find a lokal taverna with very good food, very nice host and good service. The beach is 100 meter from the house and it is perfeckt for small children because of the calm sea. You can take the bus to Chania, it goes 4 times during the day, but i recommend to hire a car so you can experiens the whole island (different beaches, small villages and to get to the mini marked). We are very happy for our stay Marit from Norway

Villa Rodea
We were eight women who spent a week at Villa Rodea. Had an amazing time, the view is wonderful and we had an uncomplicated care by the Komos team. We'll be back.

Fotinari Livadia Villa,Plakias,exclusive sea views
Very nice villa with a splendid view of the bay of Plakias. Large private pool and hot tub. Our stay was as we expected. Villa 5 mins drive to amenities, restaurants, beach etc Thanks to Olga for her advice about the local medical center.

Nostos Villa, 50m2 pool, 2km from the beach!
3 weeks enjoyed the house, swimming pool and quiet area. Every week the bedding/towels were renewed and cleaned. Rapid response from the hello crete team. Also outside office hours

Rethymnian Gem Luxury Villa
The name says it all. It was, in fact, a gem. A total gem. Gorgeous house, gorgeous pool, rooms were all great, great views, I can go on and on. Rafael was the man. The bomb. The guru. Let him recommend what to do and where to go and do what he says. His food recommendations, destination recommendations, l insights, helpfulness - all were spot on. We had a couple small pre-season kinks that needed to be ironed out but they did them instantaneously. One phone call and voila. Theo was so helpful in the lead-up as well. He helped organize things and even helped order legs of lamb for us to cook on Easter. He was great. So the place is 15 minutes from old town Rethymno and I wouldnāt want it any other way. I am writing this from old town where I am spending the next 2 days and I already miss being at that house. It was perfectly situated. Close enough to the hustle, but far enough away to decompress. Itās absolutely perfect. Thank you all for such a magnificent wedding week!

Aegean Sunset Villas & Spa - 'Villa Sky'
We traveled with friends and babies (a total of 4 adults and 2 babies (8&10 months old)) to the villa to Savas & Maria and the villa was fantastically beautiful (even more beautiful than in the photos)! For our tour group, the villa was just perfect, we had our peace, could relax and the children had enough space to play on the giant terrace. Savas & Maria kindly provided everything necessary for our kids (crib, baby chairs, a small inflatable pool and plenty of toys). Cleanliness is very important in the villa, the villa was handed over to us in perfect condition! The villa was rounded off in the evening by the overwhelming sunsets! Savas & Maria were extremely communicative, gave us great recommendations and were always available! We would like to express our sincere thanks again for your warmth, hospitality and a fantastic stay! If we come back to Crete, we'll come back to you!

Spacious Villa*Private Pool with Hydromassage*BBQ
We had a wonderful stay at this stunning villa. So tranquil, we all loved it. It was well designed and we had everything we needed for our nine day stay. The owners were very quick to respond to a couple of queries we had. One of the best Airbnb we have stayed at. We will definitely be back

LuxVilla: Heated Pool. Beach (2km). Center (8min)
The owners were great always on hand and responded very quickly - they arranged car hire and food delivery for our arrival. Would highly recommend this property especially if you like it private - itās a great location to travel around due to close proximity to main roads to explore along the coast or go down to the south of the island. Would recommend you hire a vehicle, there is a Lidl 5 mins away and the main town is just around 10 mins. This would be ideal for family with older children as there is a great pool and plenty of activities ie pool table / table tennis table. The property was extremely clean with plenty of towels and lovely basket with some fruit / wine on arrival - great hosts and propertyā¦.

Villa Amaranthus, Private Pool, Jacuzzi &mini Golf
Wonderful villa in great location for family Holliday. Facilities were great and as described. The garden is beautiful and adds to the feeling of the outside space. Good shade and sun spots in the garden at all times of day. We had a lovely time exploring the local area as well as going further afield to explore Create to the full. Lots of lovely walks possible from the villa and the local beaches perfect for low key family beach safe for kids. The bedrooms were all lovely especially the master beadroom with beautiful balcony. Host was fantastic at communication and helped us with any questions we had responding promptly and efficiently to any difficulties. Would highly recommend.

Beautiful villa in Crete with pool and sea view
The villa is a most beautiful place for a relaxed family vacation. Quiet, spacious and with all the amenities for a relaxed stay. The next town is nearby, only a few minutes away by car. The local support is excellent, very friendly, very responsive and alert. All in all, a very recommendable place.

Mary beach Villa with private pool
We had a really great stay at the villa. If you are on vacation in the south of Crete, you have to know that it is not as touristy as in the north. For us, it was exactly what we were looking for. The housekeeper was always on hand for questions and always very friendly and helpful. She had a great tip for a motorboat rental. That was a great day. There is a tavern on the left and right. Both have mega good cuisine and are very friendly. We thought the Galini tavern was a bit better. We arrived by rental car. It probably doesn't work any other way. It's best to enter Taverna Kioni as your destination on Google Maps. This leads you directly to the destination. From Chania Airport, it took us 1:45 hours. The villa was as described. Location, amenities and care by housekeeper and Nikos. Everything was perfect. We were able to just relax for 10 days. Ideal for families with children. Many thanks at this point.

The Natural view Villa with private pool
A big thank you, everything was perfect: the place, the view, the calm, the host, the kitchen, the bedding, everything. Honestly, the first time an experience is impeccable from start to finish with 0 things to repeat. Thank you š¬š·

Olive dream Villa - Gazi Heraklion - Private Pool
Excellent location, and the villa was very spacious and quiet. Maria was excellent with great recommendations and always available to help. :)

Sea View White Villa
This house was unbelievable! The location was gorgeous and perfect. It felt private but also accessible and we LOVED the little town. The amenities and entire home were a dream and made our vacation perfect. The only thing better was STAVROS the host! He was AMAZING! Left us treats, helped us multiple times with recommendations, and even brought us freshly pressed oil! We definitely hope to be back!

Premium Villa with 72 sqm Heated Pool in Nature
The house is simply gorgeous. Our family had a wonderful Christmas holiday here. The host was very generous with items in the refrigerator and a well stocked kitchen. Lots of recommendations of places to eat in the area. Michael met us in the driveway upon arrival and showed us everything in the house, that was very kind. Especially loved access to the washer and dryer because we were traveling with kids. It was too cold to use the pool, but if you are here when it is warm, it would be such delight.

Sueno Villas, Del Mar Villa, dream above the sea!
I canāt thank Antonio, Yiannis & the Sueno team for such a great stay. Nothing was too much to ask and they were all available to help throughout my short stay. The villa is stunning with lots of lovely touches such as robe, slippers, shampoo & conditioner and even a welcome hamper! Thanks again for a wonderful stay and for being amazing hosts.
