House vacation rentals in Rethimnon

We had an absolutely fantastic time at the villa. The kids had the best time swimming, playing football and tennis, bouncing on the trampoline etc. it was great having so much for them to do at the house so we didn’t have to worry about taking them out when they needed to burn off some energy. This meant the adults could really relax and enjoy their time too. The house is well located, 10-15 minute drive to most places you want to be, supermarket less than 10mins away. Markos was really helpful, met us at the villa when we arrived and gave us loads of recommendations for local restaurants and activities. The place was perfect, we would love to come back!

Wir hatten einen wunderbaren Aufenthalt in der Villa Despina! Die Lage ist traumhaft ruhig, perfekt zum Entspannen, und gleichzeitig ein guter Ausgangspunkt, um den Süden Kretas zu erkunden. Die Villa selbst ist sehr sauber, liebevoll eingerichtet und bestens ausgestattet – von der Küche bis zum schönen Außenbereich mit Pool war alles top gepflegt. Besonders gefallen haben uns die herzliche Gastfreundschaft und die kleinen Aufmerksamkeiten bei unserer Ankunft. Wir haben uns sofort wohlgefühlt! Ein echtes Highlight: der traumhafte Blick auf die umliegende Natur und die Sonnenuntergänge am Abend. Wir kommen sehr gerne wieder und können die Villa Despina jedem empfehlen, der Ruhe, Komfort und kretische Herzlichkeit sucht. Vielen Dank für alles!

We had a wonderful stay at the villa, starting with a warm welcome on our first night. Antonis’ mother kindly prepared a thoughtful dinner for us, which was especially appreciated since we arrived late and didn’t have time to go out for food. He was also incredibly attentive and made it clear we could reach out to him anytime with questions or needs. Throughout our stay, he provided us with great recommendations on what to see and do in the area, which really enhanced our trip. The villa also featured a lovely outdoor pizza oven, and they generously provided us with pizza dough, firewood, and everything we needed to enjoy it. They even made sure we had everything we needed for a barbecue. Overall, it was a fantastic experience thanks to their hospitality and thoughtful touches.

Christos is een fantastische beheerder en reageert adhoc op situaties. Accomodatie was brandschoon en van alle gemakken voorzien. Tijdens ons verblijf werd ook op professionele wijze het zwembad schoongemaakt Geen enkel punt van kritiek.

Atemberaubender Ausblick! Ihr wollt eine saubere und wunderschöne Unterkunft? Dann seid ihr hier richtig! 🤩 Die Unterkunft ist modern, sauber und toll ausgestattet. Der Aussenbereich ist einfach perfekt, tolle Sitzmöglichkeiten, mega Pool auch für Kids und mit dem Spa Whirlpool einfach ein Paradis! Nicht zu vergessen diesen wunderschönen Ausblick auf den Sonnenuntergang 🤩 Nicht nur die Unterkunft ist Perfekt, auch die Gastgeber, Maria und Savas sind tolle Gastgeber! Freundlich und Zuvorkommend, und immer erreichbar! Sie haben Spielsachen für meinen Sohn gebracht und Trotz der heftigen Herausforderung mit dem Saharastaub, haben sie alles dafür getan, dass wir unseren Urlaub zu 100% genießen können 😊 Wir freuen uns jetzt schon auf unseren nächsten Besuch auf Kreta und bei Maria 🥰 Danke für alles!

Bra boende, snäll och hjälpsam värd som alltid fanns tillgänglig för oss. 10 min in till centrala Rethymno på asfalterade vägar. Värden välkomnade oss med matprodukter och vin i kylen. Boendet motsvarar bilderna. Pool och jacuzzi helt privat utan insyn (vilket inte gäller villa daphne strax bredvid oss). Vi är nöjda med allt. Enda minus är att jacuzzin inte var helt ren, vi fick göra rent den själva.

The villa is lovely and has everything you need for a holiday. Clean and well maintained. There was extra cleaning during the week. Great view of the sea and the mountains. The cars passing on the main road, which is 100m below the villa, create a slight noise, but it is not unbearable. Maria is a great host and despite the late evening time of arrival she was waiting for us with a smile. She took care of us all the time and gave us valuable advice. There was a problem with the dishwasher, which was fixed the next day as soon as I informed Maria. We had a great week and would come back again.

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!

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.

Fantastic old traditional house, well preserved and carefully modernized. Kind hosts eager to assist and give recommendations of nice nearby places to visit. Amazing view of the valley.

Our host was so obliging and welcoming. The house was amazing and had everything you could need down to the little details. The location was a fantastic base for exploring. Definitely will stay again.

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!

Εξαιρετικός χώρος, ιδιαίτερα φροντισμενος, με έμφαση στις λεπτομερειες, φιλοξένησε με άνεση 6 άτομα. Οι ιδιοκτήτες φρόντισαν ώστε να έχουμε εγκαίρως όλες τις οδηγίες και τις συμβουλές που χρειαζόμασταν προκειμένου να έχουμε μια άνετη διαμονή. Ευγενικοί οικοδεσπότες που μας καλωσόρισαν με γλυκά και παραδοσιακή ρακί. Το σπίτι και οι οικοδεσπότες του, έκαναν την διαμονή μας στο Ρέθυμνο ακόμα πιο ευχάριστη!

Lovely house, in a good location in the old town! helpful owners! had a lovely stay!

Wir hatten eine wunderbare Zeit in Aikaterinis Airbnb! Sie ist eine großartige Gastgeberin. Besonders geliebt haben wir die Dachterrasse mit dem kleinen Pavillion :) Wir können die Residence auf jeden Fall empfehlen!

Einmalig schönes, charmantes Tinyhaus, wunderbar zwischen Johannisbrot- und Olivenbäumen gelegen, schöne Terrasse mit ausreichend Schatten und Sitz- und Liegemöglichkeiten (wie beschrieben und auf den Fotos zu sehen). Die sehr freundlichen Vermieter wohnen in unmittelbarer Nähe (s.Foto 3). Danke auch an die sehr nette Servicekraft Vicky, die zwischendrin die Wäsche gewechselt hat! Die Nähe zur Loutraki-Bucht ist fantastisch, das Wasser dort kristallklar und herrlich zum Schwimmen geeignet. Interessant für zukünftige Gäste: die in anderen Rezensionen gelobte Taverne ist aktuell (Juni 2025) geschlossen, sehr nahe ist ein Luftwaffenstützpunkt, sodass gelegentlich Düsenjets- auch nachts- fliegen. Insgesamt empfehlenswert!

Wir hatten tolle zwei Wochen in der Villa von Vangelis und haben jede Minute genossen. Besonders toll war die Aussicht auf die Lefka Ori, der tolle Pool mit Gegenstromanlage und die vielen verschiedenen Sitzmöglichkeiten. Das Haus ist sehr liebevoll und hochwertig ausgestattet und alle notwendigen Kochutensilien sind vorhanden. Wir werden bestimmt wiederkommen.

We stayed at Niki's seaside home for 2 weeks. It's the perfect place with privacy and very quiet, especially if you have to work remote. It is 2 min from the beach and walkable distance to restaurants. Niki was a great host, very welcoming and kind and helpful whenever you need something. She provided everything, from beach towels to all kinds if ammenaties. She kindly uncludes nice welcoming gifts and she goes above and beyond to help with your requests should you need something else. Really feels like home away from home.

Excellent location to relax with an amazing view. Was the perfect size for a couple. Color and decorations make the apartment even more charming.

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.

We felt very comfortable right from the start and were completely satisfied with the accommodation. In addition to the wonderful terrace with a fantastic view, the accommodation has a very good location. You can reach restaurants, supermarkets and the beach within a few minutes. We are always happy to come back. :)

Stunning views and very peaceful. To get the view does mean you can’t easily walk anywhere but restaurants in Sellia are short ride up hill. Well equipped villa. Access road and parking is tight but that is typical for island. Hosts always on hand to assist. Great swimming in Plakias which is a nice seaside town. Sun from early morning to evening (on upper deck) Pool is on backside of villa we stayed in - more for cooling off than a swim. Watch the tiles on steps as they are slippery!

We had a wonderful two weeks at this rental. Sthatis and Alexandra were fantastic hosts, very responsive and accommodating. The house is exactly like the photos (minus the hanging chairs- but they were not missed). It is ade up of two separate apartments each with 2 bedrooms. It is well equipped and gets the most beautiful sunsets, perfect for an evening barbeque . If you wish to explore the island you will definitely need a car but it is wonderfully located between many of the islands attractions and accessible from both airports. The lovely maid (whose name I cannot remember- sorry!) attended twice. We had some unusual weather while we were there, including a sandstorm which coated the entire area in dust, but Stathis and Alexandra had organised the following day to have the outdoor areas cleaned and the pool water serviced so that we could use the facilities, which we were very impressed by. Overall it was a fantastic choice and we would recommend it to anybody considering staying

Zeer mooi appartement. Alles wat we nodig hadden was aanwezig. Zeer proper. Uitzicht was prachtig. Chrissa was supervriendelijk en behulpzaam. Haar restaurant zo vlakbij was handig. Het eten zeer lekker. Een aanrader. Alles A
