Family-friendly vacation rentals in Sitia

Truly beautiful villa! The photos simply do not do this place justice - this wonderful ‘wow’ factor home & surroundings are gorgeous. My family felt immediately at home & relaxed. Villa was clean, well stocked with equipment & our hosts Eleni & Marinos were lovely - both on hand when required & respectful of our privacy. We received a welcome package which was very thoughtful. Filter machine meant no need for bottled water. We walked up to Old Hersonissos a couple of times & enjoyed some lovely food & a little shopping in a vibrant atmosphere. Also we went shopping down in Limenas Chersonisou. We enjoyed BBQ at our villa, eating outside during a full super moon! 🌖 The mountain, the sea view & the sunsets are absolutely stunning. The outdoor gazebo area is fantastic for chilling day or night, with cold drinks (or ice creams) immediately on hand from the outdoor fridge. A/C great for all different areas, but the breeze was just as nice sometimes in the main area. Highly recommend 😊

We had a very nice stay, the house was so lovely, with everything provided even a cleaning service. Restaurants and beach clubs can be reach by foot (approximately 10 min walk). There is a very nice traditional village near the house with excellent restaurants (approximately 15 min walk). But most of all thank you very much Stefani for everything you were so nice and helpful, really many thanks everything was perfect thanks to you 🙏🏼 ☺️

Well-equipped and spacious property perched on a hill with a stunning view of the surroundings. Whenever we looked for something - a power outlet in a specific area, an iron, etc. - we found it easily. The sofa and beds were comfortable and internet worked fine (streamed the French Open live in HD without issues). It's a perfect villa for a couple with up to three kids who want to explore this serene area of Crete. Thanks for your hospitality, Giwrgos and Giannis. Cheers!

Perfect welcome, very kind and professional... The view is superb and the staff is always attentive... very friendly and excellent restaurant....and perfect breakfast. Accessible and very well maintained pool... And the extra services we requested were done with speed and understanding.... 10 out of 10 to this reservation! Congrats

We had a wonderful stay here. Very peaceful. Often all you will hear are the bells clanging from the local goats. Delicious food at the onsite taverna. Beautiful lodge, with special touches such as a bottle of wine waiting for us to congratulate us on our wedding. Of note, this villa is very high up in the mountains. If you're flying into heraklian airport that evening, it's a long and dark drive up some very narrow and winding roads, so you may want to make the drive in the daytime. It's about an hour drive up/down the mountain to any other town so be prepared to drive. But the scenery is beautiful...majestic mountains.

Anestis was extremely helpful and pleasant and the place is amazing! Great view and sound of the water which was very relaxing. Close to a great beach town which was walkable.

The house was bigger and better than what we thought from the photos. Antonis is quick to respond and quickly sorted out if needed. Recommended! Short distance to most, but you should have a car.

Great holiday in a lovely house and garden. There are hills in the area but I am 70 years old and could walk to town and back for a great meal in one of the many restaurants. Overall a lovely holiday

Pasiphae House was something out of a dream! It was beautifully designed in the traditional Crete Village homes style. The location is isolate in the mountains, but amongst a great community of people. We were greeted by Yianna and Koula that gave us the walk through of the house, and we're always in constant communication. Ioanna supplied us with a long list of things to do and try in the area which we took full advantage of. Overall it was a beautiful stay and would highly recommend.

If you are looking for peace and relaxation, this is the place to be. Vacation away from tourism in the Cretan mountains. We especially enjoyed the outdoor kitchen and the pool. In September, however, it is already much cooler on the mountain than on the coast. Since a car is absolutely necessary anyway, we were able to switch to the beaches on windy or cloudy days. Konstantinos gave us great tips on request and we were offered free cleaning 2x. Clear recommendation!

Very nice place, good location, quiet, beautiful view, very nice cleaning lady. small downside: 1 hour late for the reception of the accommodation and many mosquitoes in the apartment

A really enjoyable stay at Platankia. It was extremely well equipped and had everything you would need and more, only thing that would help would a microwave - the kids really enjoyed the toys that were in the beach basket and kept them entertained without the need for a TV etc. Be warned wifi is a bit slow but great if you want to disconnect from the Internet for a while. Some really great restaurants, would recommend Vespas for Pizzas and Vitsalo is great for seafood. Everyone in town is extremely friendly and kind and Myrtos is always contactable if you have any other queries. We enjoyed being able to pick oranges and lemons and made enough lemonade to sink a battleship! I really enjoyed the hmock and the slide and swing is great for children. It is extremely private as you have large greenhouses on both sides but at the same time it is super easy to walk into town. Overall I would definitely recommend this place and would come back. The gorge is worth seeing and lots of other stuff

Modern construction and large, quiet with good aircon . Janika helpful in every way.

The choice of this accommodation, certainly "in its own way" but very clean and functional, helped to make our stay magical. We came to get a change of scenery, we found it. Great location to explore this whole eastern part of Crete. From Sitia (Moni Toplou), Vai, to Zakro and the Valley of the Dead. Charming mountainous hinterland. Great time in Mochros too

We had a fantastic time in Michael's apartment. We didn't lack anything. Shopping and restaurants are nearby. We were happy and satisfied. Thanks Michail!

We had a great stay at Katerina & Dimitra's apartment fantastic location for exploring this wonderful place everything we needed and more would not hesitate visiting again

Audrey was really helpful sorting out transfers and a shopping for when we arrived. The villa and pool area is decorated to a very high standard. We would thoroughly recommend visiting it is a great holiday location

The place was simply amazing. Quiet, clean and beautiful. A nice pool and a beautiful big garden made the experience even better. Furthermore, Kostantinos was one of the most hospitable hosts I ‘ve ever had. Always responsive and helpful no matter the time. We would always come back and we recommend the place without any hesitation!

Well where to start!? First of all some context - we have been lucky enough to have holidayed in some amazing properties over the last twelve years or so, all across Europe: France; Portugal; Italy; Spain. But this experience has outshone them all. This property is utterly breathtaking: well appointed, tasteful, clean, the facilities and amenities were far beyond our expectations: Acres and acres of private outside space, like a garden of Eden - lovingly maintained, with a multitude of very special, unique, and varied spaces to suit any mood. An extensive outdoor kitchen, take your pick from barbecue, wood stove, and pizza oven… Inside we found perfectly furnished, super fast WiFi, two modern big screen TV’s with all bells and whistles, super cool remote control air conditioning in every room, 3 x WC’s 2 x bathrooms, washing machine/utility areas, 2 wonderful bedrooms, and the swimming pool is by far the best that we have ever experienced. An honour and a privilege to stay here.

Best place to vacate in Crete. Fantastic host and very good service from Claire.

Overall, we felt very comfortable, were always well looked after and the apartment met our expectations. You have to know that in the evening hours one or the other plane also flies to Heraklion. A small supermarket is directly on site and a 2-minute walk away. Otherwise, a quick shopping or eating out by public transport is not so easy without a rental car. By car, everything is no problem in five minutes in a wide selection. The view and the apartment is very good. Swimming on site on foot in five minutes very possible below the apartment. This one was much more generous than expected. Overall, we will be happy to come back.

Great apartment with a great view of the entire city of Malia. Location private and alone on the mountainside above Malia, should/must have a car due to the location on the mountainside. Very kind and welcoming host who is easily accessible on the phone. Many great restaurants in the old town just below the mountainside. We've had a wonderful few weeks here.

We will miss it. The house and pool were great. We had a wonderful time there. We also took the cats to our hearts right away.❤️ In 2 years we'll be back.

Eva was extremely welcoming from day 1, and helped with recommending where to travel and visit on the island! Eva’s English is close to perfection! The hotel itself is very clean and peaceful. It is a 7/8 minute walk to the closest beach which is great, however the pool at the hotel is a brilliant alternative when you want something a bit closer to your room. The room was clean upon arrival and had all amenities you need to be self-catered (hob, oven, microwave, chopping board, knives, forks, spoons etc), the bathroom was great too. There was air conditioning too, which was a life saver given the hot temperatures! My room was facing out to the ocean with a balcony, and it was beautiful to watch the sunset of an evening. There is parking if you have a car too. Overall, a great experience and I would recommend Evalia Apartments to anyone. Thanks Eva!
