Villa Sea Horizon
Lovely home and beautiful views! Téo is a wonderful host - so friendly and welcoming. We were very comfortable and greatly enjoyed our stay.

Soleado apartment
This Airbnb was a great spot for our stay in Chania! We had around a 15-20 minute walk to the Old Port, which had a wonderful selection of restaurants. (We highly recommend the Sailing Club.) There was also a good coffee shop around a 5-minute walk towards Old Port and a grocery store 5 minutes away (opposite direction of Old Port but still very close by). The hot tub was amazing as the weather was a bit chilly some days of our stay. The inside was just like the pictures, and our host replied very quickly to help resolve any problems we had. We walked to a beach that was 45 minutes from the Airbnb, but it was a nice area with beach chairs and tasty restaurants. We would warn younger guests to travel here during the earlier seasons as you will be cat-called a lot. Overall, our stay was fantastic!

Amazing apartment with private outdoor jacuzzi!!
The place is beautiful and cozy just like the pictures! Just be aware that the stairs to acces the apartment and the second floor are narrow and steep. Manos’ recomendations of restaurants were very good.

Villa Giorgio
we has an amazing time at the Villa. Beautiful accommodation and very spacious inside. lovely and modern with everything we needed. The pool was amazing, very clean and the jacuzzi jets were an added bonus. Anastasia was very responsive to any questions and was very helping in a situation we had to deal with. Highly recommend 😁

Mano's House
We spent a month with our 1-year-old daughter at Dimitri's house. The house is walking distance from the sea and a great little bay. The bay is perfect for children. The mini-market and restaurants are also within walking distance. The house was clean and tidy. We lacked nothing. In the evening in bed you could always hear the sea rushing. The garden, like the house, was in impeccable condition. Our daughter particularly enjoyed spending time on the swing here. Dimitris was always easily accessible and immediately on site if there was an issue. We enjoyed our time at Dimitris' and would love to come back.

Casa Sofia, Cottage house, By Hellocrete
Casa Sofia was truly a fantastic place to stay. The accommodation was perfectly taken care of and offered everything you need for an unforgettable vacation. The rooms were comfortable and tastefully decorated, with a warm and inviting atmosphere. The village of Spilli was an absolute discovery. With its charming streets, friendly locals and beautiful nature, it felt like a hidden gem. There were plenty of opportunities to enjoy local cuisine in cozy taverns and experience authentic Greek culture. The area also offered plenty of activities, from hiking in nature to exploring nearby historical sites. It was the ideal base for both relaxation and adventure. In short, Casa Sofia and picturesque Spilli made this vacation a true paradise!

Maratho Villa, nature wellness experience
The host was very serviceminded and gave us good informations about where to go, where to eat etc. And she was easily accessible through SMS.

Akrotiri Panorama Apartment 2
We had our honeymoon at Petroc's Airbnb. Such a beautiful place. Our evenings spent looking at the beautiful view from our balcony and using the hot tub is one of our highlights. Lots to see and do nearby. Highly recommended.

Villa Casa Atitamo
What a find! Sparkling clean, in the heart of the old town (don’t stay anywhere else!) with beautiful restaurants and shops. We loved it. Beds super comfortable too. Wonderful assistance with transfers too with driver walking us to the door and then meeting us on departure. Highly recommend.

BIO garden New House
A fantastic stay! The house was spacious, quiet, and perfect for our family. We loved the beautiful garden, and the kids had fun visiting the small farm with chickens and geese at the back which added a unique and memorable touch to our stay. The peaceful setting made it a great place to relax. The host and his family were incredibly welcoming and helpful throughout our time there. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a relaxing, family-friendly getaway!

Villa pool, sleep 10, sea mountain walk to taverna
Great house, had everything, even a ping-pong table fully equipped Delightful pool Extremely quiet neighborhood with very nice surroundings and very close to mini markets and taverns At the same time, it is an ideal spot for someone to get to know all the beauties of Rethymno in all directions I would really like to vacation every year in similar homes and such beautiful areas

Colorful 110 m2 house in Chania City Center!
A truly incredible and special place to stay. The home is beautiful, spacious, and filled with art. The outdoor patio is filled with lush plants and offers a lovely space to sit. The location is perfect, very close to the port yet tucked away from the hustle and bustle. We can not speak highly enough of Valia. She made us feel instantly welcome; was very responsive and provided us with helpful information; and ensured the space has everything you may need. It was truly a privilege to have had the opportunity to stay at this beautiful house during our time in Chania. Thank you Valia for everything!

Renovated Corner House Hideaway of Authentic Venetian Stone
Michalis is such a kind and helpful host. The house is close to amazing restaurants and stores but on a quiet side street. It was incredibly clean and cozy with a nice firm bed, good kitchen for cooking and warm shower. We really enjoyed our stay.

Retro Studio - Tech Facilities
Nice apartment, very nicely decorated with retro stuff (e.g. computer games). Spic and span, very cozy bed, spacious balcony, everything essential within walking distance. George is a great host, always responded very quickly to requests and gave us many helpful recommendations. Will come again any time

Authentic Crete (Rethymno/Skaleta)
Great location. The second floor of the house with a separate entrance. The host's parents live on the ground floor. Super nice people. There is a direct beach access from the house ~200 meters away. Very convenient! All photos are true and all air conditioners work and do a great job in hot weather!

Stavio - East studio - Panoramic sea view.
We had a wonderful stay with our two kids at Stavros apartment. The house is very Cosy with a well equipped kitchen, nice bathroom with washing machine, but the best is the great terrace with a stunning view over the area of plakias! There are many nice beaches around which are easy going for children and a lot of good creetan taverns. We recommend a stay in this great location and thank Stavros for his warm welcome and advice during our stay. It is really a one of a kind airbnb! Claudia and family

Exceptional view & Comfort
We were allowed to experience an extremely warm and open welcome from Maria and Vasillis at the start of the vacation, the handover, the villa, the delicious and abundant welcome dinner for the first evening incl. wine, water and small snacks, were perfect. We got numerous tips on the surroundings, be it taverns, beaches, culture, everything extremely helpful and informative. The communication was exceptionally good, with immediate answers and active help for questions, we were delighted. The villa offers plenty of space, is very well equipped, even milk frothers and juicers were not missing. Vasillis invited us to go with him on an olive tree tour nearby, which was very informative and endearing. Both hosts are really very warm and helpful. We were completely satisfied and very relaxed - we can only recommend this place to everyone! Thanks also for the numerous gifts at the end, we enjoyed staying with you very much!

Villa Niolos I, Near Marathi Beach with eco pool
Absolutely amazing host and villa. Kosta and his office were brilliant and when we got to the villa we were met by Stella. She could not have done more to make our stay any better; communication was seamless, so many local suggestions, local produce left throughout the stay, the loan of a stoneware pot to use in the pizza oven over tonight to slow cook vegetables, honestly everything and more. The villa is exactly like the photos - stunning. Breath taking location with a view we all miss now we are home. The layout of the villa is excellent; it is beautifully decorated, the outside kitchen area is perfect and much used. The landscaping is wonderful, and the pool is gorgeous. The villa was meticulously cleaned throughout our stay and the pool and garden maintained to the highest standard. We had the most wonderful holiday; thank you so much Stella and your team for everything.

Kalostous villa 4, Pool,Great location & Views
We had a great time. Good contact with the lessor. I recommend!

Olive Villa Crete
From the moment we arrived to the moment we left we had a fantastic time and stay at Olive Villa. Panagiotis and Olga are an absolutely delightful couple as well as kind, generous and hard-working hosts. It is clear that they both take great pride in their home and also go out of their way to ensure the accommodation and facilities they provide for their guests are of an extremely high standard. We were hugely impressed by and spent a lot of time relaxing in the beautiful garden (immaculately tended) as well as in the swimming pool (very clean and well-maintained) and dining in the outside bbg area (fantastically set out and equipped). We cannot recommend it highly enough and dearly hope to be able to return in the not too distant future!

Spacious stonebuilt villa in a tranquil setting!
Lovely villa and garden in a quiet spot. Kostas and Elizabeth were very approachable and responded quickly to any queries. As others have said, the only slight draw back is the approach to the villa down a very narrow drive with a right angled turn which took some manoeuvring even in our smallish car. We got used to it and ultimately this didn't spoil our enjoyment of this beautiful property.

Villa Kedria with a panoramic ocean view
Nikos and Joanna were above and beyond as hosts. They were very responsive with our questions, helped arrange travel for us from the airport, and provided us with some pastries, treats, and water. Their place was absolutely beautiful. Our group of 7 had a wonderful time!

Marilena's place - Private Pool & Relax
Amazing place, very relaxing. Beautiful outdoor area with a lovely pool. Marilena was very helpful. Highly recommend and will definitely be returning.

Villa Thimari - Private pool, sea view & privacy
Wonderful stay if you are looking for an amazing and well equiped house in the countryside!
