Vacation rentals in Meronas

A second visit- we loved it so much, this time came earlier, at Equinox in March, and I stayed on my own, leaving in late April. I could have stayed another month. It was incredible to watch the spring season unfold, and the village come alive, with the spring horta harvests and village gatherings, preparations for Easter and to be there during the Orthodox Holy Week when the families gather was deeply moving. The landscape is stunning, olive groves shimmer w/ silver growth, the baby lambs arrive, bright green meadows fill with wildflowers and so many orchids! The location is central to all the key places you'd want to visit, and coming 'home' to an authentic villa, almost a folk museum itself, yet utterly modern, was such a privilege. The villa is so comfortable and decor lovely, with 3 great decks, and so much support from Manolis as host, and Rumy as caretaker and fine chef. Mount Ida is in constant view, everchanging, it is truly a magical, powerful land. Thank you so much.

Fabulous place to stay :)

I can’t say enough good things about Amalen. I found it on Air B & B and so I expected almost no interaction. Our stay was 5 star in every way. Jacob and the rest of the staff cared for us. They were so helpful. The breakfast was amazing and each day they knew we were headed out, they packed us a to go box…even on our day of departure. We had the best time and if ever in Crete would only stay with them again.

Wonderfully well equipped Villa. Beautiful location surrounded by mountains, amazing views to wake up to every morning. Perfect for large groups of people with plenty of comfortable living space. Great location for peaceful relaxation, or to be used as a central location to explore Crete from. A hire car is a necessity, be prepared for narrow village roads and winding mountain passes. Meronas has a few small cafés/ restaurants with good food, all locals were very friendly! Check in is completely painless, the hosts were incredibly useful with very fast response time to any issues. Strongly recommend!

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at this beautiful villa! The house is truly luxurious, in perfect condition, and tastefully designed with great attention to detail. The layout of the rooms is simply brilliant — spacious, comfortable, and perfect for relaxing and spending quality time together. The heated pool was one of our favorite features — always at the perfect temperature to cool down and unwind at any time of the day. The location couldn’t be better: just a few minutes’ walk to the beach, where you’ll find plenty of great restaurants, cafes, and shops. A very special thank you to our amazing hosts! They were incredibly warm, welcoming, and always just a message away. Every little question or request was answered within minutes — we felt truly taken care of from the very first moment. We can highly recommend this villa to anyone looking for a perfect holiday on Crete. We would love to come back anytime! Thank you so much, Eleni&Georgios!

The host is very welcoming, the house is fully equipped and convenient, recommended.

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!!

Absolutely stunning Airbnb - the views are as pictured. Loved waking up to the sea. The rooms were cleaned and beautifully maintained by the cleaning lady. We were just two in this two bedroom so we had space to spread out but it could easily accommodate four. Loved having breakfast on the balcony with the view of the village and the ocean.
