Pet-friendly vacation rentals in Archanes

We enjoyed a fantastic four days in Aris’ place, the views of the plateau and mountains are just beautiful! We felt right at home, and it was lovely to have Aris and his wife physically there at check in, a rarity these days! The images really don’t do this place justice, it is up some winding roads but we were prepared for that having visited the plateau in 2012. We can’t recommend staying here more, we really wish we’d have booked a longer stay! Aris had a fantastic hire car recommendation too, which was also great, and we had some amazing recommendations from them too. Thank you very much Aris!

we had a lovely week at Maria's place. The covered terrace is the most beautiful room in the house with beautiful sea views. The beach is less than 5 minutes' walk, but beware, for people who have difficulty walking, the slope is rather steep to climb. Maria is very responsive and responds very quickly to messages. Agia Pelagia remains a small seaside resort in a great location for visiting the north of the island. Beautiful discovery

We can highly recommend this accommodation. It's tucked away in a very secluded spot, which makes it wonderfully peaceful. At the same time, you can reach restaurants and a mini market in just a few minutes. A car is essential! The garden is stunning. The biodiversity is incredible. There's always something new to discover. The house is quite small and simply furnished, but that was absolutely fine. Everything was clean, and that's what matters most. The long driveway leading to the house can be a bit intimidating—it just slopes down without any railing or guard. But that’s just part of the Cretan charm. Giannis was always very friendly and helpful—thank you for everything! We also got to know the neighboring family and even visited them. Such kind people. And the animals! Aphroditi the horse, a peacock, chickens, and turkeys—our daughter loved them. Overall a great experience. We were very happy and would definitely recommend it. Who knows—maybe we’ll be back in a few years!

One of the most beautiful homes we have ever stayed at. Owner is great and took care of everything very fast and efficiently. Perfect place to relax and enjoy a secluded holiday in Crete. We will always go back to this place!

A fancy hippy-tiny-house, small and cozy, with a super nice garden to chill out in! All beaches and places like Matala, Agia Gallini etc. within easy reach! The village with its 5 restaurants and cafe is almost around the corner in 3 minutes on foot! Ciara, the warm and friendly contact person on site, gives good tips and is always available! :) The only flaw was that the washing machine was broken. A good place to find peace! Recommended!

A gem and a beautiful retreat in southern Crete. The villa has everything your heart desires, a beautiful view, pool and a modern kitchen that makes every heart of a hobby cook beat faster. I will miss the morning and evening bath in the pool with the view. Since it has almost no light pollution, you can see a starry sky and the Milky Way with the naked eye. Secluded beaches are easily accessible by car within 30 minutes, so a car is highly recommended. Doesn't have to be an SUV. Sam is available at any time and communicates very quickly. Furthermore, he or Lefteris are always available with tips and advice. Sam and Anel are more than super hosts and I can recommend their villa villa 200%.

This quaint AirBnB was not only comfortable but also a stone’s throw away from the beach. We felt right at home and enjoyed every moment - would totally recommend! (Side note: Crete is a gorgeous but absolutely HUGE island, if you want to get around easily and visit other beaches you should definitely hire a car) 🇬🇷

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A dream vacation with friends – DejaView in Crete is a real gem! We were able to spend some unforgettable days in the vacation home DejaView – and it was just fantastic! The house itself is modern, stylish and equipped with everything you could wish for. The spacious pool and the breathtaking view over the Cretan landscape to the sea inspired us every day. But what really makes this place special is the host. From the first moment, he was incredibly warm, helpful and attentive – after a very short time, it felt like we had found a friend on site. Whether tips for excursions, restaurant recommendations or just a nice conversation – he was always there for us and made our stay something very special. DejaView is the perfect place to unwind, enjoy and feel good. We will definitely be back.

We had an amazing 1 week stay at this beautiful place. Also the host was so sweet in helping us. She made sure we found the house during night time and got some food for us for breakfast. Also the place was very clean and the kitchen has everything you need. This place is just magical with the beautiful sunrise every morning. Also the inside of the house and spots outside the house give a very cozy feeling. We would also definitly recommend to hire the chef-kok for a night. It was one of the highlights of our stay because of the amazing food and their kindness to us. Would love to come here again!

Blue Key Villa is outstanding. Situated high above the coastline it has spectacular views from almost anywhere in the Villa. Manos and his team are excellent and are able to provide recommendations and services for use in Villa. We used their recommended chef, Spyros, one evening, and it was brilliant. Communication is clear, and responses received promptly. Blue Key is an exceptional property.

The pictures don’t do this view justice. It’s breathtaking! The home is gorgeous and the outdoor space is wonderful. It was too cold for us to swim but we still enjoyed time at the beach. Most of the immediate area was already shut down for the season during our stay but there is a lovely area about a mile walk away. We spent a lot of time there enjoying the coffee shops and restaurants. The house and rooms were fantastic and there was more than enough space for everyone to relax. The host was amazing and went above and beyond to help us when we left some glasses at a restaurant. Thank you so much for a great stay!!

This was a gem of a find with expansive views of the countryside . George was a super host! The villa was even more beautiful in person, with a large terrace and stunning views. The pool and sun decks were great. Close driving distance to a large selection of easy going taverns & supermarkets where people were very friendly and helpful . This villa is 40 min south to Matala where we enjoyed the beach and seaside restaurants and live music. We recommend!

Konstantinos is an outstanding host. He picked us up from the airport and personally escorted us to the villa. He was extremely responsive, quickly answering our questions and offering helpful recommendations for many services around, like massages at the villa (Creta Spa). Communication was seamless throughout. The villa is ideal for a group of 8 – spacious, clean, and well-equipped. The BBQ setup is also a great feature.

Amazing place to stay and Jekaterina is the BEST host! She was so attentive to our needs and made such fantastic recommendations everyday, which made our stay even better. Thank you Jekaterina! We hope to see you again soon!

Our stay was absolutely stunning. Stavros is a very welcoming person and contacted us prior to our stay with all important information. The moment we were sitting in our rental car at the airport and needed to find out the address our location he had already sent it five minutes before. Very proactive - Stavros can read his guests minds! :D The house with pool is an absolute dream come true and the village centre seems to have popped directly out of a movie with a fantastic and creatively furnished restaurant that spans across the entire place. My warmest recommendation to stay at this beautiful place!

We had a great time in Otium villa with Manos as our host. The best host we met so far by booking via AirBnb. Thanks again Manos for your warm welcome, and delicious homemade sweets, Raki and a bottle of your favorite wine! About the apartment; everything is so clean and the view is beautifull. The best adress to have a relaxed holiday. The only sound you will hear are some dogs and goats from the little farm on the other side of the valley. It was a bit more windy then directly at the coast, which was nice because of the heat in the afternoon. We enjoyed every minute of being here, and our 1.5 year old son did too! Thanks again, and if we ever go back to Crete, we know where to go!

The apartment "Veranda" was as described and definitely worth the price. We felt comfortable. Unfortunately, when looking for the apartment, we did not pay attention to the fact that there are few opportunities to run in nature in Ligaria. If you like to swim in the sea, this is the place to be. You have to walk a short way down the hill to the beach and then go back up. We were very happy to do this. The restaurants nearby had good Cretan cuisine, and the staff was very hospitable and we always felt welcome. Despina and her mother-in-law who lives in the same building complex treated us very, very hospitably.

It was a great place to stay, we felt comfortable all around, great food in the tavern at the front door Ideal starting point for hiking and relaxing We can only thank the hosts for the pleasant stay

Perfect place to stay if you’re looking for a quiet, peaceful stay. When sitting on the patio all you hear is the wind and the bells from the goats walking around (and there’s tons😍) This house has all the amenities that you will need for cooking. Definitely need a car. There is nothing walkable. But Theodore has a list of nearby supermarkets and some pretty amazing restaurants! There are some nearby beaches. They are very small, and get very crowded. They were not the beautiful blue beaches we were expecting but they were clear and clean. Bring your goggles because there’s tons of fish to see.

Absolutely wonderful stay! The place is beautifully designed, very private, and felt like everything was brand new and spotlessly clean. We felt incredibly comfortable and truly at home from the first moment. Stella is an exceptional host – always super friendly, quick to respond, and she helped us with so many different things during our stay. Her support made a real difference and was far beyond what we expected. We absolutely loved our time here and would come back in a heartbeat. Highly recommended!

Fantastic stay at this wonderful village house in beautiful peaceful Milatos, we cannot recommend this accommodation highly enough, exactly as pictured and described , host was amazing as was the delicious meal she left for our first night! Great amenities within house too. Great location to drive through mountains to elounda and agios Nikoliaos , we went straight south to beaches there too. All the restaurants on the front were amazing bar with no name fab through to Socrates so friendly and cheap €45 for two with wine . Old neighbour we sat and had a beer with although dialect was limited. Thank you again we will be back and telling everyone to come 🥰

Bathroom modern but doors difficult use. Parking difficult to find. Needed locals to help us find the opening to the apartment. Host described opening but was confusing when you follow the map. Apartment very clean and comfortable.

George was a great host who replied fast and gave useful information. The location is at the heart of Old Town which is very close to many sights you might want to visit during your stay. The location is a bit further from the beach (around 20 mins by bus) however there are many bus stops closeby. Definitely enjoyed my visit :)

Leaving Emmanouil’s lovely Airbnb in Crete was very sad. The view is unbelievable and the place is very spacious. Easy access to the city center, the ferry station, and the airport. Emmanouil is a wonderful host and was gracious enough to provide some wonderful recommendations. I can’t wait to come back.
