Holiday rentals with a beach view in Crete

This place is wonderful. It is a collection of a few traditional villas which have been beautifully renovated and decorated. Konstantinos offered us a slightly larger villa (Diktamos) which was decorated in the same style and furniture. The villa has everything you need, lovely welcome items, comfortable bed, amazing shower. There is a little mini market on site too open 24/7 for drinks or anything else you might need. Beautiful views of the surrounding mountains and you can see all the way to the sea. Small quiet village with a GREAT taverna, and lots of other places to eat in nearby villages (by car). It is a very windy road up the hill to reach the village but definitely worth it!!!! Remote and peaceful yet close enough to the coast and city that we could enjoy the Chania region. I definitely recommend.

Our stay in Old Town was an absolute dream. Nestled amidst the charming cobblestone streets and historic architecture, this home perfectly captured the magic of the area while providing all the modern comforts we needed. The location was unbeatable — just steps away from iconic landmarks, quaint cafes, and bustling markets. The home itself was beautifully preserved, with touches of its original character shining through in the exposed beams, vintage windows, and tasteful decor.

Nice location ok west side of island. Very close to beach.

We had a fantastic three month stay at this wonderful little apartment right on the seafront. I was working remotely and the internet and dedicated desk were excellent for that. The nearby beach (Kokkini Hani) is just steps away, down a flight of stairs, and the outside shower was super helpful for making sure we didn’t track too much salt and sand back in. Dimitris was an amazing friendly and communicative host, full of great recommendations. His mother-in-law, Maria, cleaned the apartment wonderfully twice a week. Highly recommended! Only thing to note: the flat is down a few steps which if it ever rains can be slippery, and the bed is not raised (just in case you have mobility issues like me, worth being aware). The flat itself is well-equipped with great little kitchen, full size fridge, washing machine and a truly luxurious walk-in rain shower. We’ll be back!

Great location, very clean and had an elevator to bring our luggage up as there are a lot of stairs. Would recommend!

Lovely top floor unit with a huge balcony and spacious balcony that has views to the North and East. The bed is soft and A/C unit is quiet at night should you need it, but we were surprised how cool the apartment kept despite being 4 floors up. The living room is spacious with a lovely view of the sea and a decent kitchen set-up. The bathroom might not be for everyone as the shower is small and not completely enclosed, but it was not problem for us. Giorgios kindly left us a basket of fruit and a bottle of wine and he allowed us to check-in early, which was a big help for our schedule.

Marianthi is a very friendly host and the apartment is super nice being very close to the wonderful sea! We have been here for the second time and enjoyed every moment!

Everything was perfect. we stayed there for 10 days, the apartment was clean and it had everything we needed. Georgios was very helpful from giving us everything we need to answering every question. this is the perfect place to stay

I really liked the place and the hosts of Bella Vista. The hosts, especially Evi, have their hearts in the right place and have tried to make my stay as enjoyable as possible. They were always available and gave me tips for things to do and places to eat. All Bella Vista accommodations are unique and a reflection of the culture of Crete. I found my place especially breathtaking. The room was very nicely decorated and I had incredible panoramic views of the city and sea. I highly recommend the place and especially the hosts. You feel comfortable right from the start.

The apartment was ideally located, very close to the beach and restaurants, but we were not disturbed by any noise whatsoever. Plenty of space for a couple and a small child. The outdoor terrace has a good view of the sea. Magdalena was the perfect host, arranging transport to and from the airport and quickly responded to any questions we had. We basically had a very good time and will hopefully return in the future.
