House vacation rentals in Chorafakia

Great place with a great host Thank you

If there’s such a thing as 11 out of 10 this is it! Me and my family have stayed at places all over the world and this may be our top Airbnb yet. There were 8 of us and we had no idea as to how great this place was until we stepped in the door. Pictures don’t always do a place justice but this location exceeded all of our expectations. We stayed for 5 days and we all felt like it wasn’t long enough. We loved CHANIA but we couldn’t stop talking about this House. Everything was clean and new and we will definitely go back in the near future. We are still in disbelief there are places like this that are rented that are so nice. Thanks again to all the who helped us during our stay and can’t wait to visit again! Mark

Very nice house,very nice people, close to shops and restaurants. You have everything you need in the house. Very comfortable beds. The only thing is the house it's on the main road and you can hear every car that pass on the street in case you wanna sleep more in the day time. ,but everything else it's wonderful. You will need a car to access some of the beaches. But some of the beaches or go to Chania town ,you can take the bus. But it's best to rent a car for visiting more as Crete is a wonderful island and you will need at leat 2 weeks to see it. Giorgos also let us stay until very late on the day of check out as nobody was coming at the property on that day. And our flight was late ,so it was very nice of him letting us staying until very late that day in the house. Overall the house it's beautiful and has everything you need. You only need to buy food for yourself as everything else it's there. Thank you for everything.

Thank you so much for everything ! We had a great time staying at Despina‘s apartment. The family was lovely and we have received great recommendations what to do during our stay. The apartment itself was clean, cozy and well equipped even for long time stays (we had a total of 9 nights at Despina‘s apartment). We could warmly recommend this place to you!

I truly recommend staying with Niko in this beautiful villa! The house is very modern, the outside area spectacular and private and the communication with Niko was clear and helpful. The accommodation works for both families and friends. The house is located around 30mins from Chania which is easy to get to by car. Can only recommend renting this villa.

We had an excellent stay at this Villa. Exactly as described and how it looks in the photos. Villa finished to a really high standard and lovely swimming pool. The villa is also nicely equipped & sone really nice touches from the host, Katerina, with locally grown vegetables & olive oil. Katerina went above and beyond as a host with regular cleaning & towels changes etc and was very supportive when our daughter was involved in an accident (not at the villa!) Would definitely recommend and go back 👍

We enjoyed our stay here so much! Wow what a stunning home with the most amazing views and amenities. It was hard to want to leave to do anything else but enjoy the property! We loved the pool area with so many nice loungers and comfy seating. The outdoor bar was lovely and we had so much fun playing pickleball! The beds were so comfy and the kitchen very spacious. Jerry provided us with nice touches to get us started before getting to the market. And Aggeliki was extremely communicative prior to and during our stay. We felt completely at home and can’t say enough good things about this place!

Our family of five had an unforgettable stay here! The home was spotless, beautifully restored, and had everything we needed. The village is incredibly picturesque, the locals were kind, and the overall hospitality was second to none. It was the perfect place to unwind after a day at the beach or exploring nearby attractions. The pool was a huge hit with our kids, and the views of the mountains and sea were stunning. What made it truly special were our hosts—Kostas and Nantia went above and beyond. They arranged a meal for our late arrival and offered fantastic local tips that made our trip even better. We felt genuinely welcomed and well cared for throughout our stay. Highly recommend! Did I mention how gorgeous the home is…

A short walk from downtown Kalyves, but far removed from the hustle and bustle of the town of Kalyves. Several good places to eat, with some services such as medical and a pharmacy, a couple small markets with enough provisions. The location had absolutely amazing views of the bay of Souda, very private and quiet. The property is secured by an electric gate, to keep wandering tourists away, in that this accommodation appears historical in nature, maybe all that’s left of an old kastelli, based on the rock walls. I could be wrong, but I would guess that the actual accommodation is what used to be the powder magazine for the old fort. We enjoyed the place immensely.

Eleftherios is a very likeable, helpful and great host! The little house mostly well shaded in the middle of an olive grove. You can pick mulberries from the terrace, a little further there are fresh oranges and lemons. The accommodation is not only beautiful, but also very well thought out. In addition to the good insulation, where a short use of the air conditioning cools accordingly, the fly screen in front of the large bedroom window, the Bluetooth box, the large terrace with a beautiful view of the olive grove, it is the small, well-considered things that simply give pleasure. Starting with sharp, small knives, mosquito repellent, coffee, detergent, good shower gel, orange press, good cooking utensils... We will be back, no question!

Perfect host! Extremely quick to respond and very helpful with any questions we had Would stay here again!

Beautiful location and the hosts were so helpful throughout our stay

We enjoyed 2 day stay and host is very nice and they kept lot of stuff in the house to feel like our own home

We had a wonderful stay in Aptera. The location was perfect; close to Chania and an easy drive to other locations in western Crete but still rural, quiet, and private. There's an incredible view of the mountains right out of the front door. Mihalis was really friendly and gave us many local recommendations. We highly recommend a stay here!

we stayed in mid may 2025 for 9 nights the apartment is modern even usb charging sockets built in air con excellent Jacuzzi comfortable for 4 adults kitchen easy for cooking main balcony around 25feet by 12 feet with 2 sets of comfortable seating two lovely bathrooms even a dishwasher. Restaurants are 10 min walk as well as coffee shops etc. There are 3 large supermarkets 5mins drive and Chania is 15 mins drive by car and around 3 - 4 balconies NETFLIX and GOOD WIFI oh and did I mention the VIEW you WILL NOT BE WATCHING THE TV sunsets and vino . You will be living amongst local families and parking is outside. On our travels we like to have a modern apartment with large balconies and amenities near this apartment DELIVERED many thanks for the host for having us and best wishes to you all Declan and Mari

Highly recommended if you want to partake in the experience that is old town Chania. Lots of cute bars and restaurants around in a cute alleyway. Perfect for people who enjoy the muted sound of enjoyable night life.

We loved the calmness of the villa and the people were very friendly .The villa was very clean and beautifully decorated ,we would really love to visit again ,Thank you for sharing such a wonderful place close to very good Restuartant’s See you again Marie

We had a lovely stay at Maria’s place. It was in a great location, very central, but we also found it very peaceful and quiet after 10/11pm, so it was easy for us to sleep well. The apartment was beautiful, with lots of space and a nicely stocked kitchen which allowed us to do plenty of cooking. The apartment had a beautiful view of the lighthouse from the dining table, and a lovely view of the street below from the balcony. Would definitely recommend.

Always responsive and provided recommendations for parking which is important in that part of Chania. Nice place to stay in a quiet part of town - easy to walk to lots of nice shops and restaurants.

The home was beautiful and rustic. The pool area is an outdoor oasis with views of the sea and olive groves galore. Finding the home was a little tricky, but the neighborhood felt safe. There were a few restaurants within short driving distance. Nikolaos's was very kind and gave us lots of tips on nearby things to do and restaurants. I loved hearing about how the property had been in his family for many generations. You can tell he takes pride and great care for the home.

This is an exceptional house in a really fun neighborhood. Just outside the most touristy areas, so it felt great to go ”home”. Tassos was a responsive and helpful host.

The Airbnb was perfect. Well-equipped, great location and yet quiet. The communication was very pleasant and friendly. We would always book Airbnb again. Thanks again for a great stay. :)

Giannis’s place was great. We’re a couple and stayed for two nights. He was very friendly and helpful. He waited for us despite a delay and met us at Talos Square, where you can usually find free parking. The location couldn’t be better. It is very central but quiet, tucked away in a back alley. The garden on the ground floor and the rooftop terrace were both really nice spots to relax. The house has a double bed upstairs and two single beds in a separate room downstairs next to the living room. It works well for a couple or a small family, though it might be less ideal for a group since the rooftop terrace is only accessible by passing through the upstairs bedroom which also had no door. There is just one toilet, but it’s spacious. I think the place is great for a few nights in Chania, though I have to say we ended up enjoying other parts of Crete slightly more than Chania itself, but that has to do with the nature rather than the villa itself.

Thanks for having us. Very good home with everything you need to be comfortable. We appreciated our stay, and would 100% recommand this house. Loved it ! We appreciated a lot the snacks given (cheese/milk/bread), because we came from the airport at 10PM and it saved us.
