Hotel vacation rentals in Decentralized Administration of Crete

Eva and her husband are the loveliest people, you are greeted with open arms by Eva and have a good chat. The accommodation is 5 star with everything you need. Eva and her husband where very helpful in many cases such as the walk to Lidl was great but the shopping we done was too much for us to walk back so Eva’s husband offered to pick us up! Our overall stay was amazing both too far from shops and rentals. This place is perfect for a quiet place to head off to and for the beautiful scenery. If you want to get around and visit places there is public transport but I would recommend renting a car or an ATV as this is what we did for our stay. I would recommend this place to anyone for one of the most beautiful get aways! Thank you Eva and your husband for everything and Gloria and I hope to see you again!

Excellent stay at Sophia's who warmly welcomed us. The studio is perfectly clean and functional with breathtaking sea views from the pleasant terrace. The beach is a 5min walk and Chania is very easily accessible by bus.

Very responsive and accommodating host! The room had everything we needed.

Already in advance, Emmanuel and Yannis provided us with great information for the area. Very unobtrusive and super well organized. Someone was always available and had great suggestions for our individual vacation wishes (diving courses, Beaches, restaurants, rental cars, taxi from the airport). We arrived and the apartment corresponded perfectly to the descriptions, everything was there, great terrace with sea view, clean and nice bathroom, working air conditioning, cleaning worked out great, everything you need on summer vacation. The entire complex was just renovated. All houses freshly painted, a new pool, new loungers/umbrellas, great! A rather quiet location, but the combination of tranquility, a nice tavern, pool and beach in less than 100 meters radius with permanent great sea views is wonderful. A rental car to explore the west part of the island (great beaches, Chania town) makes a lot of sense. We enjoyed the holiday very much!

Staying here has set my expectations of Cretan hospitality in my mind hereafter. I spent nearly two weeks here and I couldn't have asked for a better time in Crete. By the time we left, we had local businesspeople shouting our names down the street to say hello, there was always something to do in town or a new restaurant to try. Very close to beautiful upper Platanias, as well as the more touristy main strip and the beach. Very nice jumping off point to the western beaches like Falasarna or Elafonisos, Manousakis winery, Chania, and even did a long day to Knossos and back. Filled the time in between in the pool, which was very well kept, and never felt like we were crowding the place. We were allowed an early check-in after arriving on an early flight to Chania, and never struggled to find parking right next to the complex. I can not recommend this place highly enough and cannot put into words how hard it was to leave.

We loved our stay at Antonio’s and Melina’s house ! The host was very kind and the place is peaceful.

Friendly welcome by Eleni. We received a lovely tour of the apartment. Immediately provided with tips regarding restaurants and sights. The small-scale domain is more beautiful in real life than in the photos. There is a busy road within walking distance, but you really don't notice it. We opted for a room with a private pool: definitely worth it. It's so nice to look at the stars from your own pool with a glass in hand after a busy day. Just a top destination with very friendly and helpful owners. Highly recommended

This was our first time in Crete, we were delighted with the welcome and the place. The hotel is close to everything, we made the majority on foot, the train station is 15 min walk, the first beach too and the city center is 5 min walk. The accommodation is super pretty, with the essentials, and the cleaning is done every day. A special mention to Katerina, who was great throughout the stay. She offered us activities and the best places to visit, was available day and night if we had a problem. A person with his heart on his hand, a big thank you to her!

It is pretty nice place with everything you need to stay, host is really great - got room ready 4 hours before they should, gave us better room as it was available.

This is the most stunning villa - inside and out. Beautifully appointed, with a gorgeous pool overlooking the sea but set well back from Kalamaki on a hillside, so you get peace and quiet, but with all amenities / beach road only 2 minutes walk away.

Very beautiful and special place I recommend blindfolded!

Great view and delicious breakfast

An unforgettable stay! The apartment is even more beautiful than in the photos: everything is perfectly clean, tastefully decorated and very well maintained. The pool is incredible, with breathtaking views of the mountains and the sea — a real corner of paradise to relax. The place is quiet, ideal for recharging, and the hosts are warm and very available. I recommend it 100%, and I will come back without hesitation

I had a wonderful stay at La Canea. The space was clean and comfortable. The location was perfect for exploring the island, and the quiet surroundings made it a peaceful retreat after a day of adventures. Theodosia was incredibly kind, and made us feel right at home. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a relaxing and enjoyable stay in Crete!

The place is exactly as the pictures show. Andreas and his brother are great hosts and tend to every need and request. Unfortunately the beach is very small and stony, so we had to drive to other beaches which Andreas recommended.. The pool is small but very clean and suitable for both kids and adults. Andreas gave us addresses to local attractions which were very good. The kitchen utensils could use some upgrading like non stick pots but that's just minor stuff. Overall I'd recommend the place and I'd revisit the place again.

Gio was amazing at acommodating our every need and questions we had about the area or other information. The place was amazing - we can’t recommendt it more!

Really great place with jacuzzi and sea view. Great location. Very central and high-quality furnishings

A most beautiful apartment and location. Everything was new, clean and comfortable. The views from the apartment and outdoor deck were beautiful, especially the sunsets. The hosts were friendly and very helpful. We were late arriving and I am sure it was inconvenient for them, but they waited, greeted us with no complaints and were wonderful. The location is just next to the old town so, it is quiet, with a beautiful waterfront view, but easy walk to town. We had a car and it was very easy to park for free right out front.

This is an amazing place. The accommodations exceptional and exactly as promised. Highly recommend this gem.

Our room was very clean and comfortable! This location also has a lot to do from walking distance and many adventurous options within an hours drive

Perfect accommodation in an extremely central location in the old town of Chania. Everything is within 10 minutes walking distance. Great spacious private balcony with views over the city. Super clean and comfortable, felt luxurious. Loved our stay, wish we had longer.

We had a perfect stay at Elma’s Dream! Andreas and his family made us feel very much at home from the moment we arrived to when we left. All of our requests were quickly and kindly fulfilled, the room was great, bed was comfortable, and there’s nothing better than being able to grab an ice cold beer anytime by the pool! The location is amazing, it’s right next to the beach and a beautiful walk along the coast into the town which we did everyday and never tired of. We didn’t plan much, but Chania always had something to offer from great food to cool bars, a stunning old town, boat trips, paddle boarding, and just great atmosphere wherever you wander. I would definitely stay at Elma’s Dream again if/when I return to Chania, thank you so much Andreas and family!

The stay and hospitality was great . Very friendly hosts . The room and the without was just like in the photos !! The whole experience was great

The place was exactly what we needed for our stay. The room was spotless, with all the amenities we could ask for. As my daughter said, everything “comes handy” — from putting water in the fridge to finding utensils and a bowl for some fresh watermelon. The kitchen and bathroom were both very clean, and the balcony had a lovely view along with a hanger for drying swim gear, which was super convenient. Right around the middle of our stay, they came in to clean and changed the sheets and towels, which was great and very much appreciated. We originally planned to move to another place after five days to explore more of the island, but the apartment was so good that we decided to stay and just wake up earlier to travel instead. Extending our stay was easy and seamless — no issues at all.
