Villa vacation rentals in Sfakaki

Great stay in a quiet and sublime space. The property is impeccable, with excellent service by the owner who welcomed us with open arms with a service that allowed us to arrive without having to do any shopping before arriving. Always helpful and attentive to tenants, who directly told us about the activities and businesses in the area. Perfect place to relax and recharge. Highly recommend it.

I can’t recommend the apartment enough. It was the best equipped rental I have ever stayed in and the location is beyond fabulous. A few steps down to the beach, the views from the terrace, 2 mins away from a handful of great restaurants, a cafe right next door and 15 mins walk into the main town. It has everything for a relaxed stay but everything on your doorstep when you want it. The house is as the photos depict - stylish and luxurious. A stay here will not disappoint! Loved every moment of it and wonderful hosts.

Super sweet people. Everything was well arranged. Despite the sandstorm, they really gave top service. We even got pizza as an apology while they couldn't do anything about it. Very sweet. Definitely a villa to go to once.

The place was just great! Everything was super clean, super modern and really well equipped – just as shown in the pictures. We felt totally comfortable from the beginning and we didn't miss anything. The host was very warm and helpful. We also found the great service particularly nice – on request, restaurant tables were even reserved for us. We can really recommend the house from the heart and would be happy to come back!

The house is as described. Perfect destination for a family if you want a more peaceful location for a vacation. The beach is wonderfully peaceful. Services are within a 5-15 minute walk. The owner greeted us when we arrived and told us how everything works. He had brought food to the fridge, a perfect start to the holiday! They were really friendly, helpful and guided when needed. I highly recommend it!

this is a great Villa to stay at in central Crete that made it easy to branch off to many other areas of the island the best part was the Villa itself with its swimming pool and the views. great place to stay close to the small village of margarite. highly recommend it's got to be one of the best places to stay in all of Crete. Michalis was a great representing host.

We spent our holiday at Vasilios Villa from June 2nd to 14th with a group of 10 friends – and it was absolutely fantastic. The villa is modern, extremely clean, and perfectly suited for a group getaway. It’s also a great base for exploring the beautiful region of Crete. Despite being spacious, it’s located in a quiet area, making it ideal for relaxing. Daily service was excellent: the trash was collected every day, and the pool was checked and cleaned regularly. On top of that, the villa was thoroughly cleaned twice during our stay – the service left nothing to be desired. Communication with the hosts was exceptional. When one of the air conditioners stopped working, they responded immediately – even on a public holiday – and fixed the problem quickly. We truly appreciated their dedication and professionalism. All in all, it was a perfect stay and a holiday we will remember for a long time. Highly recommended!

Beautiful stay at Villa Marae, exactly as in the pictures the villa is spacious, modern and welcoming with all amenities you could need, we felt right at home for the entire week. All the bedrooms have spacious wardrobes and plenty of hangers, all with en-suite bathrooms, good quality bath towels and beach towels, comfortable beds. The outside space is serene, with views of the ocean and some beautiful sunsets too. Welcomed at the villa by the owner Maria, who shown us around, provided a welcome basket and also some other shopping essentials as we arrived very late. She also met us when leaving to say goodbye with a Cretan gift as souvenir. The personal touch was lovely. Etouri Team are very responsive to queries, recommendations and we found them super helpful. Overall a 5* stay

This place is a treasure. The views from the living room and kitchen are spectacular. The house has many clever features that are well designed. The area around Almyrida is fun to explore--go down to the beach or on a hike along the coast. Almyrida is a cute beach town, very welcoming. And we did several further from the town adventures. We had no idea that Crete has so much to offer--pottery in Margarites, beautiful beaches, intense hikes, exceptional museums, exploring Hania's historic streets. The property management team were wonderful to interact with. We felt so fortunate to find such a gem. Thank you!!! We sure hope we can return.

A wonderful place to stay. The pool was gorgeous and the villa was spotless. Very peaceful during our may trip. Able to park right outside. Very responsive and proactive host

Beautiful place, great for families. Lots of toys and even a potty for the kids! Cleaner came mid week which was not necessary but so great. Beach is a 3 min walk. Really need a car to get there which was fine for us! Thanks for everything.

We loved staying at Petros's place. The location is picture perfect and completely serene, coupled with the stunning views - perfect getaway gem. The villa is beautifully designed with lots of places to explore and hang out in. Petros is very accommodating and all around helpful from assisting us in setting up the outdoor speakers to offering to make restaurant reservations on our behalf. We had an absolutely amazing time and hope to stay at the villa again when we come back to Crete. Highly recommend!

An absolute gem, we had an amazing stay at Maria's place. The house is absolutely beautiful, modern with quality all around. It's also super private with nothing but nature around you. Will definitely be coming back!!

This is a 10/10 Villa. We have travelled a lot and this is by far the best Villa we have stayed in. We were a family of 9 (5 adults and 4 children aged 2, 4, 9 and 11). The views are stunning, the pool is big, all the rooms have private bathroom. Jacuzzi is also perfect for when the sun goes down! Theo was a wonderful host helping us, giving good recommendations and suprising as with some nice gestures. This Villa really is a Gem as the name suggests. As for the surroundings - it is 100% private! For me the best part was that there is a nice local village to walk to every night. There are some amazing Tavernas/Restaurants with delicious food and reasonable prices (also a mini-market). There is also a nice beach with a good restaurant and a nice cozy beach bar - it is only a 10 minute walk from the villa. And if you rent a car then it is a 10 minute ride to the Rethymnon old town, which is also a very nice place with lots of shops and restaurants. The Villa was worth every euro!

We had an incredible stay with our family. The photos do not do it justice. It’s so beautiful and so peaceful. There were many lovely welcome food and drinks that we really appreciated. We had many activities and family in the area so we were out and about but were always looking forward to coming back to enjoy the house, the pool, and the gorgeous view. We also loved the hot tub when we got a little chilled from swimming since it was a bit early in season. We made sure to have a day to just do that. We used the indoor/outdoor theatre one night and that was really fun. All the rooms and the kitchen were perfectly appointed. Everything was so well thought out. We can’t wait to come again and stay longer and have time to use the outdoor kitchen, the gorgeous dining room and enjoy the beautiful pool and view again. Thank you Evi for an incredible stay at this beautiful house!

This holiday was everything we wanted it to be. Our family includes architects and designers, we were all impressed by the well considered design, the detailing of the villa and the impressive panoramic views. We loved the contemporary approach and enjoyed the comfortable modern styling of the interior. The villa is totally private and the surrounding area is quiet and beautiful with plenty to explore.

Beautiful breathtaking villa. Everything was designed with such thought and detail. Both adults and the kids felt so at home for the week and it was the perfect base to explore more of the island. Local village with some great amenties is walkable (just down a very bumpy/ dusty road) Nothing was too much trouble for the owner Athina, she organised all our taxis and food deliveries. Will be back again!!!

Our stay at the Villa was amazing. We were welcomed with a dinner and a cake as we arrived quite late. The house matched the description and had a beautiful view. Everything was really clean and we felt at home. All throughout, a great place.

One of the best airbnbs I’ve ever stayed at. The house is just like the pictures and the pool and outside area is so beautiful it’s hard to believe you are really there when you wake up every morning. Paid extra to heat the pool and it was so worth it with our 3 year old and a baby. They didn’t want to leave the water. The owners of the villa are so so nice and kept bringing us fresh fruit from their garden and really baked Greek treats. Will 100% be coming back.

We really enjoyed our stay. We were 4 adults, 1 toddler and 1 dog. We are very satisfied with the villa and would love to come back next year. The villa has a private pool and a private entrance to the beach. However, water at the beach was dirty most of the time and wasn’t really comfortable to swim there with a baby, also because of the rock bottom, so we were driving to different public beaches. You must have a car, because due to the weather conditions it wasn’t possible to us to walk anywhere near.

A fantastic house with wonderful sea views and all the amenities! Tastefully decorated with good quality both indoors and outdoors. Very private location with no insight. Lovely patio with pool, parasols and outdoor furniture. Was received in person in the house at the appointed time and was given a tour of the house and all the features as well as a basket of specialties from Crete. Walking distance about 5-10 minutes to Plakias with shops and restaurants. The only thing we wanted was a few more hooks to hang clothes on.

beautiful spot. very well stocked. you will need a car to get into town. there are a store, bakery, restaurants and pharmacy close enough to be able to use the bikes but if you want to get into town, rental car is advisable. beach is close enough to use the bikes to get to and has cute little restaurant right on the beach. you can also rent umbrellas and chairs there. we had the best vacation and can not wait to return

Unforgettable Stay at Daphne Villa – Truly Outstanding Hosts and Home We had the absolute pleasure of staying at Daphne Villa in Crete, and it exceeded all expectations. From the moment we arrived, Sofie and Markos made us feel incredibly welcome. They are genuinely warm, kind-hearted, and thoughtful hosts who went above and beyond to ensure our stay was perfect. The villa itself is simply stunning. We were a group of 9 adults and 2 children, and the space was more than enough for everyone to feel comfortable. The property is huge and beautifully maintained, plenty of areas for both relaxation and play. One of the things that stood out the most was the impeccable cleanliness throughout the entire villa – everything was spotless and clearly cared for with love and attention to detail. We cannot recommend Daphne Villa highly enough. It was the perfect setting for our group holiday, and Sofie and Markos made it all the more special. Thank you both for an unforgettable experience !

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!
