Villa vacation rentals in Maleme

We had a wonderful stay in the house, which has generous rooms and lovely balconies and outside spaces. The location is fantastic, a stone's throw from the sea and close to restaurants and grocery stores. Our host has been very thoughtful and helpful, he also arranged a flexible check out which allowed us to have another wonderful day by the pool - many thanks Manos for a lovely holiday!

Nikos’s team was incredibly hospitable, and we couldn’t have asked for a better stay. They were extremely communicative and helpful in getting our party around the island. We would love to stay at one of Nikos’s properties again and highly recommend their services to any looking for accommodation on Crete.

What a beautiful stay and this stunning villa. Definitely the best outdoor space at any villa I’ve ever stayed. And the view? Well, it’s even better than it looks. Kissamos is a chilled out town with great access to some of the world’s best beaches and some great local restaurants. Antonio’s was always on hand to help with anything we needed, he responded to our messages in about 5 minutes. Such a lovely guy and you won’t regret staying here. Thank you and YAMAS!

Fantastic stay in a great villa. Swimming pool on the roof is fabulous. Very well equipped property with everything you might need. Beds are really comfortable with ample air conditioning units in the rooms. Great location for touring Crete in the car, but a bit far out from Chania if you want to walk into the town. Taxis were readily available. Host is really helpful with recommendations.

Karolina and Jadwiga are very pleasant hosts and communication between us was always very quick and helpful. Check-in works perfectly. However, Google Maps showed the neighboring building for us. However, the accommodation is advertised outside and that's how you find it. The accommodation itself is excellent: modern kitchen and bathrooms, beautiful rooms. And the outdoor area with sun loungers, parasols, tables, chairs, barbecue areas and beach is phenomenal! The only thing that is a bit disturbing: You are right on the main road and in the house itself you can still hear this noise well.

we spent a week in this villa. It is perfectly equipped, clean, modern. The heated and large pool is very nice. It is 10 minutes from Kissamos. The host was very helpful and responsive from the beginning to the end of the stay.

My wife and I and four teens (ages 18-19) spent a delightful 10 days in Maleme, Crete during June. The apartment was well-equipped, and we appreciated the refreshing pool and air conditioning at night. Both the owner, Lesley, and our local host, Hannah, went out of their way to ensure our comfort. While the beach was pebbly, there were areas to swim. There are some great local restaurants in close walking distance. Maleme itself is quiet but convenient, with a nearby Synka supermarket. We explored Chania and other towns by bus, and a two-day car rental allowed us to discover more of the island. A boat trip to Balos beach and an island added to our memorable holiday experience.

We stayed for 1 week (4adults and 4 kids) having been to Crete a number of times before. The villa was up in the hills (you need to hire a car to get anywhere and driving on the small lanes is not for the faint hearted) but this gave us the beautiful views over the bay and a lovely sea breeze. The house was immaculate with all the essentials and mod cons including chilled filtered water from the fridge. The ice machine didn’t work so one of the team popped around with a big bag of ice the next day which we used instead. We also experienced a sandstorm (happens about once a year) with Saharan sand being deposited on everything. The cleaners were around the next morning and the pool was cleaned beautifully. The pool itself was heated to a lovely temperature so the kids could enjoy it all day and the hot tub was even warmer so the perfect place to sit and enjoy drinks. We used the outdoor built in barbecue and sat outside for dinners (great views). Karolina was very responsive! Recommend!

Wonderful Experience at the Villa Elias! Our stay at the villa was perfect. The sea view was breathtaking, especially during sunset – a true sense of calm, quiet, and complete privacy. Choosing this villa was an excellent decision, especially because of the heated pool, which the kids absolutely loved. They enjoyed both swimming and playing in the spacious garden. The villa is well-equipped, with many useful items that made our stay very comfortable, including an air pump for pool toys. The location is also great – close to shops, supermarkets, and pharmacies. Highly recommended for families looking for a peaceful and convenient holiday with children. Wissam,

We were 15 persons in 3 of the 4 houses. Everything was just perfekt with very clean and nice houses and a very nice poolarea. We were able to sit all 15 people to eat together outside but we were also able to be "private" if we wanted to. We had a very small problem at the pool but Maria and her husband fixet within a very short time, and you could realy feel, that they wanted us to have a great time, which we had. furthermore we loved, that it only took some minuttes of walking to be at the beach. Thanks for a love stay.

This place is a treasure. The views from the living room and kitchen are spectacular. The house has many clever features that are well designed. The area around Almyrida is fun to explore--go down to the beach or on a hike along the coast. Almyrida is a cute beach town, very welcoming. And we did several further from the town adventures. We had no idea that Crete has so much to offer--pottery in Margarites, beautiful beaches, intense hikes, exceptional museums, exploring Hania's historic streets. The property management team were wonderful to interact with. We felt so fortunate to find such a gem. Thank you!!! We sure hope we can return.

We loved our stay in Crete and it was comfortably the best hospitality we've ever received from a host. Manolis was super responsive to messages (usually within 15 minutes) and George looked after us amazingly well (without being intrusive) and was always so happy. The villa was exactly as described and there were a couple of days where we cancelled our plans to explore in favour of sitting by the pool and looking out over the mountains, watching the vultures and other birds. So nice. The butcher recommended by Manolis made for some delicious barbecues and was very reasonably priced. Really beautiful and relaxing location with the best hosts. Would definitely come back in future.

The Naval Villa is a wonderful space that was just as promoted. It was very clean and the views were spectacular. It was well stocked with high quality supplies and fixtures. The hosts were very responsive and communicated very quickly about any questions we had. The town of Tavronitis is cute, easily accessible and has everything you would need. We had a wonderful time!

An absolute gem, we had an amazing stay at Maria's place. The house is absolutely beautiful, modern with quality all around. It's also super private with nothing but nature around you. Will definitely be coming back!!

Thank you again to Giorgos and Maria for hosting us. A very big Sahara sandstorm disrupted everything on the day of our arrival. Our hosts did their best and even the impossible to clean everything and allow us to enjoy the villa in the best conditions. The villa is beautiful. Everything is planned so that we can relax and make the most of it. Full of good intentions, products available allow you to feel comfortable as soon as you arrive. I can only recommend the Mythic Olive villa 😊

We cannot have asked for a better place to stay in Chania. The house is a gorgeous villa perfect for a large family vacation. The location is on a breathtaking hill overlooking the city and old Harbor. There are tons of windows letting in natural light. You can be an old town in eight minutes by car or about 45 minutes walking. There are plenty of local mini markets and restaurants nearby. Michalis was a model host, and gave us plenty of recommendations for day trips, restaurants, treats, activities, and gave us very kind gifts throughout our stay. If we ever return to Crete, we will be staying here again!

5-stars across the board! My partner and I and our 2-year old had a wonderful time. The Villa was totally gorgeous, super clean and finished to a great spec. Beautiful views and adventurous location! We explored the island and visited some of the recommended places by Christina the host. These were definitely worth while, as I hadn't come across them on my holiday research. Christina was lovely and maintained great communication throughout. Can't recommend this place enough.

Villa Levante was a perfect peaceful escape with an incredible view. The villa was clean, modern, and had a well-equipped kitchen that made us feel right at home. Vasilis was also incredibly welcoming and responsive, greeting us at check-in despite travel delays and addressing any questions in a timely manner. We had an amazing stay! Highly recommend!

Amazing place. Top quality. Huge terrace with a swimming pool, barbecue. Big rooms, very well constructed. Great bathrooms. Dimitris was great, always available and helpful and friendly. I highly recommend this place. Just one thing: in the pictures it looks like a secluded place but it's above a petrol station and a highway. A bit of noise but nothing dramatic. There is another terrace on the other side of the house, a bit more quit. We enjoy our stay a lot. The place is big!

The Airbnb was fantastic, very modern and spacious with an amazing view. The host was extremely helpful leading up to our stay and also during our stay. One of the best Villa’s I have ever stayed in, the pictures do not do it justice. Highly recommend choosing this for your stay in Greece. Only bad thing is that we had to leave to come back home!

This villa in Crete is a true gem! It’s private yet close to charming restaurants, with stunning views of the ocean and mountains from every window. The villa is beautifully decorated with a mix of comfort and ancient charm, making it feel like a home away from home. Walking in the area was such a delight. The host is incredible—truly my favorite of all time. He greeted me with delicious goodies, and his warm, big-hearted personality was so motivating. When a burner had a small issue, he replaced the entire stove with a high-quality gas model immediately. He even played the ancient Greek lyre, adding a magical touch to my stay. If you’re looking for a peaceful retreat with exceptional hospitality, this is the place. I’ll cherish the memories forever!

We’ve never experienced an Airbnb like this – in terms of both the villa and the hospitality. A heartfelt thank you to Eftychis and his wonderful mother – you made our stay unforgetable! We were seven people, including three children (one toddler), and everything was just perfect. The villa is spotless, beautifully designed, and extremely well-equipped – the kitchen had top-tier appliances, and the baby gear was modern, clean, and like new. The house is set in a peaceful location with a breathtaking sea view. When we arrived, a delicious homemade Greek salad and cookies were waiting for us – such a warm welcome! Eftychis was available via chat the whole time: kind, helpful, and always with great local recommendations. This place truly combines beauty, comfort, and care. We’d come back without hesitation. Thanks so much, Eftychis for this awesome villa and your hospitality!

Amazing Place! Extremely friendly and helpfull host! The house was exactly as described in photos and listing! Totally recomended!!! Hope we will visit again soon..

Had a wonderful stay here. Llove everything about the villa from how clean it was, the space the amenities and the heated pool. Peter and Georgia were wonderful hosts. I would definitely recommend this villa.
