Townhome vacation rentals in Decentralized Administration of Crete

We had a fantastic stay at this well-appointed house just a 5-minute stroll to the beach. Erika, the new property manager for 2025, was brilliant—professional and friendly. The house is clean, modern and very comfortable, with everything you need including dishwasher, coffee maker, micrwave and washing machine. We loved the terrace where we watched beautiful sunsets with a glass of wine. , The pool just outside was great for a dip any time. A car is handy for ‘pink’ beaches like Elafonissi, Falarsana (and Balos too, thanks Erika!) and Chania Old Town. We also enjoyed visiting Biolia to learn about olive oil and a winery neerby with tastings. The onsite reception desk were very helpful. Local food was excellent—Maraicabo had superb dishes (huge portions!) and we loved Blé on the beach for small plates, cocktails and sunbeds. For fresh fish Porfira was a winner. We had such a wonderful time and are already looking forward to coming back!

Thank you for being so helpful and friendly these 3 months! Time really flies. :-) We have enjoyed staying here and created a lot of memories. :-) We would love to come back. Thank you!

Ein traditionelles, sehr gemütliches Haus in einem einzigartigen Dorf. Wir waren bereits das 3. Mal hier. Von hier kann man toll die Umgebung erkunden und ist für uns ein perfekter Start für unseren Urlaub auf Kreta. Das Haus ist bestens ausgestattet, sehr sauber und gemütlich. Absolute Empfehlung!

Can’t say enough good things about this charming home - full of character! From the beautiful tiles to stone features. We rented a car to drive to Chania and Elafonissi beach, but walked everywhere in town with ease and felt very safe. Alexandra was very welcoming and gave us a tour of the house and bought a few groceries and even made us a pasta lunch. She gave us restaurant recommendations as well! We certainly enjoyed this home!

Séjour très agréable, endroit très charmant et très calme. Hôte très réactif quand nous avions des problèmes. La piscine est vraiment un atout car elle est magnifique et très propre. Seul petit bémol que nous avions trouvé est que le logement ne disposait pas de micro-ondes

My mother and I stayed at the stone house for 4 nights and it was a wonderful stay. The house is absolutely beautiful, inside and out. A rental car is a must at the location is 30 minutes south of Heracleion and there's no mode of public transport there. We enjoyed our time here very much.

Die Unterkunft war sehr sauber und wunderschön nah an einem ruhigen Strand gelegen. Auf der Terrasse konnte man beispielsweise morgens wunderbar frühstücken. Die Kommunikation mit dem Gastgeber war stets freundlich und sehr zuvorkommend. Insgesamt sehr empfehlenswert für größere Gruppen.

If going to Chania (which is great) and wanting to be in Old Town versus at a beach resort outside of town, then this is absolutely the best place to stay. Perfect location right by the harbor, steps to all the local restaurants, and a spectacular view of the harbor and lighthouse. As other reviews state, the road to the entrance and the building is vertical but it truly has the best views from the roof of ANY place in town. And both Vicky and the property manager are so helpful with recommendations and support while there.

Bel appartement, bien équipé, proche de Chania en voiture. Stationnement facile dans la rue qui est très calme. L'appartement est très spacieux, il peut convenir à 2 familles. L'accueil de notre hôte est parfait. Le sejour autour de Chania est tres agreable. Je recommande !

We rented the whole house (we were 17 members of our family). As only normal, some things didn’t work, but the hostess with her family immediately solved them flawlessly. The house is supper comfortable (4 kitchens!!!), and well compartlized so privacy was kept for who needed it. All restaurants recommend where great (even though it’s hard to eat bad in Crete 🤪) We used for 3 nights a private chef recommended by Chryssavgi (Spyridon Spilos) who was outstanding also (they bring all ingredients, cook, put the table and most importantly, they clean everything afterwards!!!). The pool was also big and super refreshing (and very well kept). In summary, if we come back to Crete, we will be using this house again. Superb overall experience!!!

Simply perfect! Eugene is the most gracious host I ever deal with,strongly recommend the place for every reason,specially locations! Thank you for your hospitality.

Un posto magnifico. Abbiamo soggiornato in 7 e siamo rimasti tutti sbalorditi dalla bellezza di questa villa. La ristrutturazione è incredibile e i servizi al suo interno ancora di più. In assoluto uno dei posti più belli che abbia mai trovato su Airbnb. La jacuzzi è stata una rivelazione sopratutto a fine giornata dopo un lungo tour delle spiagge di Agia Palagia. Al nostro arrivo l’host ci ha aspettato all’inizio di Kato Asides per mostrarci la via per il parcheggio per poi accoglierci calorosamente in questa splendida villa. Al nostro arrivo ci hanno offerto anche del Rakki, vino e frutta, sicuramente un’attenzione al cliente favolosa. I letti erano comodissimi e i bagni molto spaziosi. Consiglio di andare a mangiare al ristorante che si trova in cima al paese, per noi è stata la cosa che ha reso perfetto il nostro soggiorno a Kato Asides. Unica cosa negativa è stata aver soggiornato solo due notti, la prossima volta pianificheremo di starci almeno una settimana.

Wir haben eine wunderschöne Woche in Villa Paraisos verbracht. Das Appartment bietet alles, was man braucht, die Ausstattung in der Küche ist top, es fehlt rein gar nichts! Es war sehr sauber und besonders gut hat uns gefallen, dass die Einheit in sich abgeschlossen ist und man absolute Privatsphäre hat. Alles ist rundum blickdicht eingezäunt. Blitzsauber war es auch. Romeo und eine weitere Angestellte waren sehr freundlich und haben uns mit Tipps versorgt. Jeden Tag wurde der Außenbereich und der Pool gereinigt. Einziges Manko ist, dass der Ort an sich uns nicht besonders gefiel, aber das Meer mit seinen unzähligen Buchten und Stränden war traumhaft und die Unterkunft auch. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt und können die Unterkunft empfehlen!

The home is amazing. Totally remodeled and very chic. Close to restaurants, great shopping and night life. The pedestrian street the home is on looks a little sketchy, but I think it is fine and we felt safe once we got settled. This is definitely the best looking place in the area. The mistake we made was renting a car. Parking is very limited and difficult in the area. And you really don’t need a vehicle. Catch a taxi, uber or take a tour. There are plenty of transportation options available without the hassle of trying to find safe, legal parking for a rental car. We would definitely stay here again. It’s truly beautiful!

Really beautiful rooms and wonderful host, thank you!

To σπίτι της Μαρίας ήταν εκπληπτικό και σε τρομερή τοποθεσία. Παρέχει όλες τις ανέσεις, ειδικά στην κουζίνα και στον εξοπλισμό της αλλά το τζάκι κλέβει την παράσταση καθώς το επισκεφθήκαμε τους χειμερινούς μήνες και ηταν ιδανικό. Ολες οι παραλίες του νότιου Ρεθύμνου βρίσκονται το πολύ 10 λέπτα με το αυτοκίνητο και συνίσταται και για όμορφα μονοπάτια και φαράγγια που βρίσκονται πολύ κοντά! Η Μαρία ηταν άμεσα διαθέσιμη να μας βοηθήσει με οτιδήποτε χρειαστήκαμε. Σιγουρα θα σας επισκεφθούμε ξανα!

We had a lovely stay in Angelos' apartment. It was easy to find, clean, cosy, and had everything we needed. We enjoyed sitting on the terrace (and playing with the kittens). Cafés, supermarket, and fuel station were very close, which was great. Thanks for the wonderful stay, Angelos!

Alles wie beschrieben! Uns gefiel wirklich alles an dieser Unterkunft. Ein sehr aufmerksamer Vermieter, der stets sofort geantwortet hat. Vielen Dank für die tolle Zeit. Danke und alles Gute für die Zukunft…

Dimitra is by far the best Airbnb host I’ve ever interacted with. Her place had gorgeous views, adequate space, and was extremely clean. I would definitely stay here again. She also made my family feel very welcome to Crete with her warm hospitality and she gave wonderful local recommendations. Dimitra and her place are both awesome!

This house is in a beautiful location - set amongst the pretty little streets of Splantzia. It is a few minutes walk to the harbour and to the many restaurants in the old town. Within a hundred metres or so is a lovely square with shady bars - one of which serves amazing meze (there were foodie walking tour groups coming the Kafenieo Fix to sample to food). There is a Saturday fruit and veg market in the next street where I bought oranges and made juice for breakfast. The house is great. The main room has a very comfortable bed, there is a good sized bathroom, and a lovely garden with lemon tree and scented plants. It is easy to prepare a full meal if you want - the kitchen is very well equipped with a large fridge/freezer, full oven and lots of pots and pans and utensils. These is full aircon in both bedrooms and the main downstairs room. I would definitely recommend this house where you can feel part of the local community while still being very close to all tourist stuff.

The property is well located and furnished. Check-in and out were a breeze. The host is responsive and caring.

wir haben uns von anfang an sehr wohl gefühlt. die dachterrasse war sehr schön zum verweilen. das haus war super ausgestattet und die betten bequem. es erschien uns anfangs etwas dunkel aber dadurch war es immer schön kühl! spiros war sehr freundlich und er erfüllte unsere wünsche, danke:) würden sofort wieder kommen.

Maria was so sweet and hospitable, this was the third leg of my Greece trip and she defined Greek hospitality. She connected with me ahead of the trips always proactive, and had the loveliest bread, lemonade, and snacks waiting for us when we arrived. This villa is beautifully built and has pristine craftsmanship, however, it is in a remote location so you do need a car or taxi connection. We ended up not getting a rental car so we had a relationship with a taxi driver, but we ended up switching to one that Maria recommended because he was familiar with the villa and reliable. The home is stunning and looks exactly as pictured. Thank you Maria.

Incredible value, we stayed for a week and left at home. The hosts had fast communication and helped giving local restaurants and travel recommendations. I could recommend this place more. If I could give 6/5 stars I would.
