Vacation rentals with a fireplace in Paralia Koum Κapi

This is a gem in the heart of the old city. We loved staying here and walking everywhere! Close to the bus stop for day trips too which was so nice. Would gladly return to this spot!

The house was a brilliant location, under 10 mins walk to the harbour and 15mins walk to the old town and lanes. Kitchen was reasonably equipped. Cotton / linen sheets which makes such a difference especially in the heat. Host was lovely and met us on arrival to show us around.

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!

A charming little house very central and close-to heaps of restaurants. It was very private- it felt like we had our own little neighbourhood to ourselves. Michalis and Guylaine were accommodating of our 11pm arrival! Meeting us in the street to ensure a smooth check in. It was so nice to stay in a place that embodies the history of the old town. The can’t church singing in the morning was magic.

We had a wonderful time in the villa. Manolis was always very helpful and provided us support whenever we needed. I would absolutly recommend the villa. Especially the view is outstanding

I truly recommend staying with Niko in this beautiful villa! The house is very modern, the outside area spectacular and private and the communication with Niko was clear and helpful. The accommodation works for both families and friends. The house is located around 30mins from Chania which is easy to get to by car. Can only recommend renting this villa.

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.

Great place directly opposite the beach - fantastic if you have toddlers like us. We ended up having dinner at the restaurant next door every day because the kids could play out there while we ate. If you want to visit the most beautiful beaches on Crete, this west coast location is great (though it should be noted that the beach near the house is actually facing north, which means it is thankfully not frequented by tourists). The host is very friendly and willing to help with any issues. The airbnb was very well equipped and prepared for our visit (including items we would not ordinarily expect like fruit, cake, and even a dinner on the first night - though we obviously knew about it based on previous reviews). We would come back here in a heartbeat!

This is a great place that looks exactly as the pictures. It has two great balconies and is blocks from both the beach and old town.

We had a great time at this very well-equipped, clean and as-advertised accommodation. Direct access to the sea is a real asset, ideal for enjoying at any time of day. The host, who lives just below, was very welcoming and available. Note, however: the nearby road can be noisy in the evening, which can bother people sensitive to noise. Despite this, we enjoyed our stay very much. Thanks for your hospitality!

It was a perfect place! George and family were very welcoming! Our daughter was even allowed to play upstairs with his children! Apartment was nice, spacious and very clean! With large balconies (with fantastic views) and a spacious garden that was perfect for our 4 year old daughter. From the garden, we got lettuce, eggs, sheep's milk and olive oil. Close to the beach, nice restaurants and hiking trails. Worth repeating! We enjoyed it :).

This place is truly special. We enjoyed our time here so much. George’s parents-George and Alexandra were the best! Always a warm and friendly greeting. They were so kind and helpful. Their dog was also super sweet. They really made us feel at home. The place was great. Very comfortable and had everything we needed for a great stay. The view was to die for!! Just spectacular. Every morning waking up and looking out the window made you feel such a sense of peace. The location was fabulous. Close to so many wonderful restaurants and the most beautiful beaches. In case you can’t tell, we totally loved our stay. You will not be disappointed with this lovely little gem. Highly recommend!

Hidden gem! Loved this home, literally two minute walk to Golden Beach. Katerina is so sweet (she met us in-person, had local restaurant recommendations, and even provided a bottle of wine). The home was perfect for our group of 6 (great value for the money, too). Would 100% come again!

We had a very pleasant stay with our 4 month old baby. The hosts where very accommodating and overall the apartment is well equipped. Location wise its super close to nice beaches and to the lovely villages around Vamos. Also Chania is easily reachable by car. All in all very recommended. Only downside were the sheets, but its typical for greece. I guess we are spoiled with our egyption cotton/satin fitted sheets🤣

We enjoyed a wonderful family holiday based in this beautiful and spacious apartment. We felt right at home as soon as we arrived. Panagiotis and team at the management company are personable and responsive, ready with local recommendations for activities and dining. We will certainly come back when next we are able, and have no hesitation in recommending Riviera Vista luxury apartments.

We stayed with Evienia for a month with our little baby and had a great time. The apartment is super cozy and has everything you need. The view is fantastic and you can easily explore the west of Crete from here. There is a parking space right in front of the door. Those who like dogs and cats will get their money's worth here ( our baby loved it). You can also keep the four-legged friends away from the terrace with a gate. Evienia is a hearty person and super cook, who is always easily accessible (on request she also offers very tasty breakfast and dinner). It is a good help with the excursion and food selection with lots of tips and recommendations. We felt very comfortable and always happy to come back, hopefully soon.

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,

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.

Exactly as the photos and as all other reviewers have said, Christina is fantastic with immediate responses and plenty of advice regarding local attractions. The apartment was so good that we really didn’t want to go out until the sun went down, watching the sunset from the rear high level balcony was just fantastic. Five balconies in total, three at the front and two at the rear meant that the two of us had a ridiculous amount of space. The apartment has everything you need, it is in a very quiet, well heeled area with a fantastic bar and coffee shop just around the corner. The bar is a locals bar, very quiet, well furnished with a lovely atmosphere run by Stelios and his family. Great craft beer, wine etc and it was brilliant to have this amenity so close. Restaurants and a supermarket all within walking distance plus the hidden gem of the magical Venizelou Cafe just over the road. We swam with the locals in the fantastic rock pools and will definitely return soon, thanks Christina.

We absolutely loved our stay! The location was perfect—just a short walk to great restaurants and a beautiful, warm, shallow beach that was perfect for our family. The house itself exceeded our expectations. It was incredibly spacious and had more bathrooms than any Airbnb we've ever booked, which made a big difference for our large group. The pool was a lot of fun, even without heating, and the jacuzzi was a great bonus. The place was spotless and truly felt like a hidden gem right in the city—hard to believe you can find something this nice in such a convenient location. Nicolas, the host, was fantastic. He provided a helpful written guide and surprised us with several thoughtful freebies. We wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again—highly recommended!

Georgia is a very gracious host. She welcomed us upon our arrival, showed us the supplies, and provided all the necessary information about the area. The house had everything we needed, and it was very comfortable and quiet. It was also clean and spacious enough for all 11 of us.

We stayed here 2-9th June I have no negatives to say, Mariam was just amazing. So friendly from the moment we arrived. Her home is absolutely beautiful, yes it was big for us but it had everything we wanted and the price was amazing! We had no issues during our stay, welcomed with a beautiful fruit bowl, water and wine and to top it off when we left Mariam gave us another gift of local olive oil! The tennis court was a good place to allow our toddlers to run around happy, amazing space for the kids to be free and play. We went to the local beach 3 days during our holiday, which was only a 15 minute walk, Mariam provided beach toys, spades, umberella and towels which were all appreciated. We have already said but we would definitely come back here, probably with more family as it is such a big lovely space!

Effie looked after us well, always at our disposal and proactively offering help. The place was perfect for our needs, comfortable, flexible and easy to live in. The location is out of the way and up a hill, which makes it peaceful and serene. The neighbour cats were very friendly, one of them leaving the gift of a mouse on our doorstep overnight-we are vegetarians but it’s the thought that counts! We highly recommend this place.

Nektaria and Niko’s’ hospitality is unmatched! They are such lovely and delightful people and made all of our family feel right at home from the moment we met them. The views and home are one of a kind! Such a special place my family will always remember. Absolutely would recommend to anyone visiting Crete and hope to be back again! :)
