Cycladic house vacation rentals in Crete

A change of regular venue for us in Crete and what a find. Right on the promontory with 200 degrees of unspoilt views. The beach feels private as we were alone 90% of the time and then only a couple of others. The water is magnificent. Alexandros was very accommodating with our late arrival and had a pizza for us which was much appreciated as everything was closed. I read another review on here and they had it spot on. Local seafront village is a lovely, a little shabby, packed with local Greeks at the weekend and the food was great, friendly and cheap. We were a family of four adults and had the best time. Just very chilled and gentle. Definitely coming back!!

Lovely apartment in a great location with spectacular views! Hope to visit again in future.

Beautiful stay facing the sea and peaceful! Visit of cats on our arrival to the great delight of our son. The house was clean and towels were waiting for us. Everything is fine. the house is very nice and functional

location and place is great. Christina a is a top host. Very detailed route description and advice on restaurants. Cozy beachfront apartment with availability of beach beds and beach shower.

An unforgettable stay at Doma Hotel My stay at Doma Hotel in Falasarna was nothing short of excellent. The room overlooking the crystal-clear blue sea felt like paradise. The houses and rooms are even more beautiful than in the photos, thoughtfully designed and impeccably maintained. What truly made the experience exceptional were Eleni and Pavlos, the wonderful hosts. They were incredibly kind, warm, and helpful throughout my stay. This place deserves more than five stars. I can’t recommend it highly enough.

Romanati is a very well restored, furnished and equipped traditional village house with lots of charm. Pefki is a very nice village with an excellent taverna and lovely kafeneon in the hills about 20 minutes drive from the sea at Makrigailos. Elina's communications were excellent and helpful. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay there and look forward to returning one day.

We had an amazing stay at Blue Casa. Beautiful beaches and hikes are nearby. Mirthios is a nice cosy village with great food options and very friendly people.

We had a fantastic stay. The apartment was very nicely furnished, a lot of thought has gone into the decoration. It was fine for two adults and two older children to live here. The garden is incredibly beautiful, a place to find peace. Wandering around the garden and discovering new details was exciting. We felt well looked after and got help and answers to everything we needed. We also want to praise the laundry staff, they were always cheerful and pleasant, and quickly adapted to our daily rhythm, so that we could have calm and long mornings. We would like to thank you and we hope to come back.

We had the most wonderful stay at Wild Pear Villa. The villa is beautiful with a fantastic view of Agia Pelagia and the sea. It was in perfect condition, super clean, stocked with everything you need. We did not have a car but it's a short walk down to a small but lovely beach where you will find a few restaurants and a mini market. A little further walk will take you to Agia Pelagia which has many more restaurants and shops. Our hosts were wonderful. Anna and Victoria quickly replied to any questions we had and their mother Olga greeted us with food, fruits and beverages which we really appreciated arriving in the evening after a long flight from New York. Lovely people and a lovely home. We honestly didn't want to leave!

Nice house, everything worked

A very large, clean house with fantastic views. Communication with the host is great. In the middle of the stay, the entire house was cleaned, all towels were replaced. Pool was cleaned regularly. Very quiet, secluded location. A car is necessary for this accommodation, as there are no restaurants or shops within walking distance. However, it is also described in the description. A road leads to the sea, is within walking distance. In strong waves, access is difficult to use.

We booked this villa as a treat for our 40th and our first holiday in 15 years without our son. The villa was absolutely beautiful and the hosts were lovely. They had made us a Greek salad on our arrival and had provided us with milk eggs wine and fruit. They even made a beautiful marble cake as we had a thunderstorm and everything was covered in sand so they had to come a second day to clean the pool and outside area so we could use it.. Eftychis and his mum also provided use with restaurants and site seeing destinations like the botanical gardens which were well worth visiting.. We tried to book the villa again this year but they are fully booked. So we will be looking to book again next year.. It is absolutely beautiful and well worth a visit..

An unforgettable stay at Villa In Vivo! Our experience at the Villa was nothing short of exceptional. The villa itself is pure luxury - spotlessly clean, tastefully designed, and equipped with everything one could possibly need for a relaxing and carefree stay. What truly made our holiday special, however, was the incredible hospitality of our host, Panagoula. Even before our arrival, she was in touch with me, patiently answering all our questions and making us feel welcome from the start. We were greeted with such warmth at the airport, and upon arrival at the villa, we found delightful culinary surprises and a beautiful selection of fresh fruit waiting for us. The mid-stay cleaning service after four days was a lovely touch, and we are especially grateful for Panagoula’s tireless support after the stormy weather – and for the delicious, healthy meal she brought us during the week! You and your family are the best! Highly recommended – we’d return in a heartbeat. Thanks a lot!

10/10 would recommend! Everything was according to the description and worth the price. Our apartament was clean and spacious, very well equipped for daily use. Odisseas & Evita were available and very helpful while sharing their recommendations. The town is small and rather quiet in April but the views and surroundings were most beautiful.

Our stay at the villa in Crete was simply fantastic and exceeded all our expectations! We were warmly welcomed upon arrival, and communication with the hosts was friendly, quick and straightforward from the beginning. The villa itself was in perfect condition – very clean, high quality and modernly equipped and furnished with a lot of love for detail. The kitchen had everything you could need, the bedrooms were cozy and air conditioned, and the outdoor area with pool was an absolute highlight. Here we were able to relax and enjoy the beautiful view. There was even a ping pong table that provided a lot of fun and variety. The location of the villa is ideal: quiet and idyllic, but still close enough to beaches, taverns and shopping. We felt completely comfortable and were able to enjoy our vacation to the fullest. Thank you for this unforgettable time, we highly recommend this place!

Lovely villa in peaceful surroundings with nice pool area. Would recommend a car for exploring the nearby resort of Almyrida and further afield. We found plenty of traditional village and beachside greek/Cretan tavernas serving delicious food within 10 mins drive.

We had a great time at Villa Adagio in Vrachasi. Great base to visit other places like Agios Nikolaos to find some sunshine and beautiful surroundings during the first few days of our stay before enjoying the heated pool at the weekend. In Vrachasi you’ll find some really good tavernas with the nicest people. Charis, George and Sofia were very attentive and responsive throughout our stay catering for all our needs. Simply excellent hosts!

We had a fantastic week away at Orizontes Residence in Crete where the whole family felt relaxed and hardly wanted to leave as we had everything we needed on site. The property is beautifully decorated inside with everything we needed to enjoy a great holiday. The bedrooms were all very comfortable with towels, bathrobes and their own bathrooms. Outside is where the property is even better with a beautiful pool, a shaded dining area, a hot tub, a table tennis table, and an outdoor gas fire, all with the utmost privacy. The WiFi was so good we had no complaints from our sons all week and the air-conditioning was excellent even though it was nearly 40 some days! The whole family loved our time here and we will definitely be returning to such a great property in a perfect location. Thank you again to Roi, Xenia and Rosetta who made our holiday such a memorable one and congratulations on such a perfect holiday home.

Just as described. Very nice place .

We had an amazing stay at Levante Villa, it was easily the best villa we have stayed at. Everything was immaculate at the view was incredible. A car is definitely essential as it's situated up a hill but the equally meant the surroundings and view were so beautiful. The host was friendly and welcoming and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Thank you.

We had a wonderful 5 nights at this property, accompanied by our two teenaged children and my parents who are 79 & 81. It has panoramic views of the sea and surrounding Cretan landscape that are gorgeous, as are the grounds themselves. The house is accessed by an automated gate, so private and secure. The outside amenities are amazing and no detail has been spared, especially for families, as described in the listing. There is an elevator, which we predominantly used for luggage but is handy with older family members as the bedrooms are on the 2nd and 3rd floors. There are three bedrooms on the 2nd floor, all with their own en suite bathrooms, two with showers and one with a soaking tub. The top floor is its own suite with the stairs open to below so great if you are traveling with a family but maybe less so if you are four couples. The communication was excellent, with Roy responding to WA messages within moments, regardless of hour and the housekeeper came daily. We loved our stay!

Amazing!! Tons of outdoor space. Kitchen had everything you needed. The sunsets off the top balcony were amazing. We were there in winter and the heat worked great.

We really loved our stay at Galini Breeze which was last stop on our honeymoon trip. We were made to feel very welcome by Serhat on arrival and throughout our time both Serhat and Hamza were super friendly hosts. They also provided us with some great recommendations on secluded beaches to visit. The hotel itself was lovely, with beautiful pool area overlooking the Mount Ida in one direction and the coast. Rooms were very contemporary with lovely private balconies. It was nice how they had thought about everything, and even had a washing machine, a selection of beach toys/ sun umbrellas. While a bit touristy we enjoyed Agia Galini, plus it is an amazing base to explore if you have access to a hire car and don't mind the hills. Other than that the driving was fine. Thanks

It was completely pleasant.
