House vacation rentals in Almyrida

We absolutely loved our stay at Villa Philia. A lovely peaceful private house in the heart of the beautiful village of Gavalohori. Wonderful facilities, nice shady decks with great views of the White Mountains. The pool is amazing - you share it with the downstairs apartment, but it is super private. The local tavernas are amazing, and a nice little bakery and a couple of small convenience stores. Walking around Gavalohori is just beautiful. Angelos met us on arrival, shared his mother's home made spinach pies and of course, raki. The house was wonderfully ventilated with insect screens on all the windows - we didn't need to use the AC at all. If you are looking to escape the touristy towns, a stay at at Villa Philia in beautiful Gavalohori is a must.

We were a party of five, my wife and I and 3 30 year olds, our two twins and a son-in-law. We all couldn't say enough good things about this home: the view has to be one of the best on the whole island, relaxing, extremely private and immediately felt right at home. Starting and ending each day with that view, I didn't need anything else, but there is as much to do as you want. For example, just 6 minutes down the hill, you have the great little town of Platka with a few delicious local restaurants, market and a nice sports bar if you want a cocktail...like me. Another 10 minutes down the hill you come to Alymrida, the small coastal city that has nearly a dozen varied restaurants right on the water. 40 minutes away is the charming city of Chania, the jewel of Crete. This home is centrally located, 20+ minutes from the highway to go anywhere you wish to go...but keep in mind your leaving this view behind. I hope you enjoy it half as much as we did.

We had a wonderful stay at this amazing house in Crete! The home itself is spacious, beautifully maintained, and set in a peaceful and scenic environment. The large garden was perfect for relaxing and enjoying the quiet surroundings. The location is ideal, Kalyves and Chania were both fantastic to explore, with stunning beaches, charming streets, and great local food. Our host was incredibly responsive and kind, making sure we had everything we needed throughout our stay. We felt truly welcome. Highly recommended, we would love to come back!

I recently stayed at this beautiful villa in Greece, and it exceeded all my expectations! The property is stunning, with breathtaking views of the surrounding landscape and a fantastic pool that was perfect for cooling off during the hot days. The villa itself is spacious, clean, and well-maintained, with all the amenities you could need for a comfortable stay. The kitchen was fully equipped, making it easy to prepare meals, and the bedrooms were cozy and inviting. I particularly loved spending time on the terrace, enjoying the serene views and the tranquil atmosphere. The location is ideal, situated in a nice, quiet area but still close to local attractions, beaches, and charming villages. It was the perfect base for exploring the beauty of Greece. The host was incredibly welcoming and responsive, providing excellent recommen

My wife and I had a great 2 weeks at Villa Yianna. Maria, the host was brilliant and communication was top notch. The Villa itself was clean, spacious and had everything you needed. The outside areas had amazing views, although the location is a little close to a main road so can be a bit noisy during the day. It's just a 10 minute walk into Kalyves and 20 to Almyrida, both beautiful coastal towns. Make sure you check out Mistrali bar in Kalyves, great service, lovely beach area and good value for money. I'd thoroughly recommend Villa Yianna!!

We had a great time staying at Zoi and Jorge's place, Villa Amorada is picture perfect and the surrounds are stunning.

Villa anasa exceeded expectations. The pictures don't do it justice, the attention to detail in the interior is impressive. We had a lovely stay and would highly recommend. Gorgios was a gracious host and helpful in every way possible.

Amazing place, exactly as pictured. It's about a 6/7 minute drive from downtown Gavalohori. To reach it, you have to walk a rather dirt road: but the view, once you get to the top, pays off. The location is really quiet, the only noise you hear is that of the sheep grazing (however very pleasant!) The pool is of the Infinity pool, overlooking the sea, which you can see in the distance. Wonderful. Overall highly recommended, just follow the directions to reach it (use the indicated georeferencing!).

This was the best AirBnb I've ever stayed at, and it really made our trip to Crete. Maria was an A+ host. She was extremely responsive and helpful and pointed us to all of the best beaches and restaurants. The house is in immaculate condition, very clean, and very spacious, and is only 10 minutes from downtown Chania. Thank you for everything, Maria!

Great stay at the place! Very accommodating and welcoming host who ensured we had a memorable experience. Lovely pool and amazing views as well!

We had a lovely time at Sotiris and Katherina's house. The house is comfortable and in great shape and and Sotiris and Katherina are excellent and super friendly hosts. They were flexible with check in, highly communicative and super generous with leaving us excellent food, all self-made: wine, olive oil, pastries, and what not. The surroundings are quiet and pleasant, there is a beautiful view from the balcony, and the village has good tavernas and a nice playground for kids.

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

Beautiful location and the hosts were so helpful throughout our stay

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!

Everything about this place is perfect. It is clean and very comfortable. I have a hard time with stairs so the futon sleeper and downstairs bathroom were very convenient. It is a very short walk to everything you might want to do, including getting the bus to Chania. I look forward to booking here again.

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 had such a great stay! We were so close to the water but also close to markets and restaurants. Dimitri was incredibly helpful and was there when we checked in and when we checked out, despite the fact that we got in quite late. Would highly recommend!

From the minute we walked in the door until the last second we were there, Maria’s place impressed us. The views are stunning!! Every room has a balcony with a view. The view from the kitchen window above the sink and the outdoor sitting area next to the kitchen was magnificent. Everything was pristine, from the kitchen to the bedrooms to the outdoor areas. The bedrooms have double doors with pullout screens and roll down security/weather shutters. Thami Villa really was everything we hoped it would be and Maria was always responsive, helpful and friendly. We can’t wait to return!!!

Filipas House was a nice place to stay. The terrace upstairs was particularly great. Douliana was a charming village, with lots to see nearby. Myrtos was very responsive.

Incredible views with peaceful surroundings. Great little village where we were able to enjoy the sun and calm atmosphere. Absolutely stunning terrace. Can’t wait to come back.

Great stay while waiting for our house to finish build. Has everything one needs for their stay, fully equipped kitchen, clean linens and towels, heat and AC, washer on premises. Almyrida and Kalyves are nearby, restaurants and groceries within walking distance. Panagiotis was extremely helpful as was Maria. Highly recommend.

We were in this accommodation as a family, it is even more beautiful than the pictures! You really have great privacy, the street is quiet! The house was super clean, everything was thought of! Eleni was super helpful with everything, we even had fruit cookies as a welcome gift:-) You felt super comfortable, which I also liked very much, that coffee, cleaning supplies, salt, sugar and other things were already in the house so that you could start the holiday pleasantly! We haven't had that with the other villas yet! The view is mega, we will definitely come back

This was a family vacation for us. We had an opportunity to stay for the entire month of April. How lucky is that. Once we got to the village my GPS couldn’t find the property and Antonis met us and took us to the property. The home was as described. It was very nice and perfect size. The beds were so comfortable I slept like a baby. The primary bedroom and bath are a good size. Both additional bedrooms are a good size as well. The outside has a nice table that seats 6 and 4 lounge chairs. I would recommend this home and if I come back to this village I would rent it again.

House is utterly charming and authentically Greek village style atmosphere. Private entry courtyard is lovely with garden. Felt very at home and cozy with everything I needed. And so close to town! Dimitrios was very helpful. Even had yoga mat!
