Pet-friendly vacation rentals in Phalasarna

We had a wonderful stay at Villa Despina! The location is fantastically quiet, perfect for relaxing, and at the same time a good base for exploring the south of Crete. The villa itself is very clean, lovingly furnished and well equipped – from the kitchen to the beautiful outdoor area with pool, everything was well maintained. We particularly liked the warm hospitality and the little touches when we arrived. We felt right at home! A real highlight: the fantastic view of the surrounding nature and the sunsets in the evening. We will be happy to come back and can recommend Villa Despina to anyone looking for peace, comfort and Cretan warmth. Thank you for everything!

Very relaxing and wonderful space, I wish I was napping on the patio now.

Really nice room in front of the sea.

Beautiful, clean, and very responsive. The stay was as advertised. This home is well maintained, comfortable , and close to everything.

Is was a very nice pleace. We loved it!!

The hosts were incredibly kind and welcoming. The place was super clean and everything well maintained. Just felt right at home with an amazing view, great beds and a beautiful atmosphere. Highly recommend!

We had a fantastic stay in Michalis's lovely corner suite. It was cozy, unique, and had everything we needed, plus nice extras like a washer, a second bathroom and street parking (just do an extra lap around the block). The location was ideal, with traditional windows opening to a garden and ruins, and it was a short walk to everything while being away from the Old City crowds. Michalis was an amazing host—very responsive, provided great local tips, and even took time to offer us coffee and chat. He’s definitely one of the best hosts I've ever met. I highly recommend this place and a stay with Michalis!!

Nowadays, it is rare to be welcomed in an Airbnb like Konstantina’s—with two fresh beers and a jar of water in the fridge, a well-equipped kitchen stocked with olive oil, and plenty of useful local tips. Her place is delightful, the shared patio is very cozy, and the location is both calm and central for exploring the region. Good value for money, I definitely recommend this apartment and the whole experience with Konstantina.

Thank you to Matthew and the team for such a lovely stay. Matthew went above and beyond for the duration of our visit, even giving us a lift to the local winery. The villa was exactly as pictured and beautifully maintained. The host welcomed us with pastries and local delicacies, which were even topped up during our stay when the villa was serviced. Whilst in a peaceful and quaint location, a car is necessary to explore the island and all it has to offer. Public transport does exist but is infrequent and not always easy to understand. Definitely worth a trip to the traditional bakery located a few minutes walk from the villa. Although we had a fantastic time in the hot tub and pool, the hot tub could definitely have been hotter. Overall all I would recommend this to everyone, and we will certainly be returning to Doro Gold Villa! Thanks again! Emma and friends

We had a wonderful, peaceful & relaxing week in this beautiful house. Amazing location, stylish, spacious, comfortable & very well-equipped. It’s 3 minutes from the small town of Sellia (3 or 4 nice traditional restaurants & small but useful supermarket), 10 minutes from the bigger (seaside town) of Plakias (many restaurants, 2 big supermarkets, butcher & baker), yet out on its own: utterly quiet & private and with beautiful, uninterrupted views of the sea. Cordula - who created this fabulous place, from ground up & with incredible attention to detail, is a perfect host. She couldn’t have been nicer or more helpful: at all stages proactive, quick & very clear communication and always concerned about our convenience & comfort. Our flight time meant we didn’t arrive until 8pm & Cordula offered to order & collect food from one of the excellent local restaurants & keep it warm in the oven, so after a long & tiring journey our holiday started straightaway. We would love to return.

Eirini's house is very nice and great located in the mountains and a beautiful view over the sea! We made very nice excursions to Kissamos from there (car is absolutely necessary) and there are several good restaurants nearby! The house is large and very well equipped. We were there at the end of October, the pool was unfortunately too cold for swimming, but in summer it is certainly great. Eirini's wife was so nice and made us a spinach pita and we also received olive oil as a gift. We highly recommend Eirini's house!

A fantastic house with wonderful sea views and all the amenities! Tastefully decorated with good quality both indoors and outdoors. Very private location with no insight. Lovely patio with pool, parasols and outdoor furniture. Was received in person in the house at the appointed time and was given a tour of the house and all the features as well as a basket of specialties from Crete. Walking distance about 5-10 minutes to Plakias with shops and restaurants. The only thing we wanted was a few more hooks to hang clothes on.

The apartment is situated in a small village. We had a rental car that we could park in the village square. The apartment more than met our expectations. The bed is super comfy. The showers are perfect and the water temperature is always good without fluctuations. We never needed the air conditioning (there are 2!). I think the apartment on the ground floor is the coolest. From the small terrace, you have a good view of the sea. In between, the cleaning staff came and exchanged towels and linens. We felt very comfortable. There is nothing to complain about.

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.

The place is charming and friendly also very well designed and built. The gardens are beautiful. We loved the resident cats but then we love cats. The valley is beautiful with almost no traffic so very peaceful. The swimming pool is great. It’s a special location , you definitely need a car to get about and visit the main beaches etc which were excellent and Kissamos which is good. The photos are very accurate but it’s better in real life

We had a fantastic stay at this beautiful house! The view of the sea is absolutely breathtaking — it’s the kind of place where you wake up and just want to sit outside all day soaking it in. The pool was a highlight as well: clean, well-maintained, and perfect for relaxing after a day of exploring. The house itself was spotless and very well taken care of, which made us feel comfortable from the moment we arrived. Michalis was a wonderful host — always quick to respond and genuinely helpful with local tips and anything we needed. Highly recommend this place if you’re looking for a peaceful and scenic getaway with great hospitality!

The stay at Spyros' place was perfect. Beginning from the uncomplicated checkin to the stunning view and quietness of the mountains to the clean, cozy and stylish apartment. Communication was nice, kind and rapid (I asked for a duvet and Spyros' mother (who is more than adorable) brought me this not even an hour later). I will definitely come back. Σας ευχαριστώ για όλα!

Nice apartment in a good position to go to falasarna and balos, also the nearby tavern are amazing

Had a wonderful time at this Airbnb! Location was superb, a great place for exploring easy reach of Chania and Rethymno. The town has 3 eating places, Monica’s was the highlight! Airbnb its self was so peaceful, with amazing views the outside space had been thought through with lovely dining areas and sunbeds, it gets the sun from midmorning to night. Would recommend to anyone, loved it!

We stayed at this house for the second time. It is a very good equipped house that beautifully located very close to the beach

This is a family home. You can feel the memories and laughter from the years. It is adorable and cozy and Laura is so kind. I loved the hammock out front. A full kitchen available. Walkable to restaurants and the water.

We loved this place. The balcony was very large with a direct view of the sea. There was a natural swimming area in front of the place that was perfect for a dip anytime. The sunsets were amazing. It is close enough to walk to the Chania city center, but a car is recommended to visit the many beaches on the island. Elpida was always available for any guidance that was needed. The place is a gem we hope to visit again!

We had a great stay here! The place is super quiet and surrounded by olive trees and fruit trees — really peaceful. The garden was just for us, which we loved. The house was clean and spacious, with lots of room for our luggage. Parking was easy too. Katerina and her mom were very nice and responsive, and they even left us some fresh fruit. The lemons were unbelievably tasty! All in all, a really relaxing and comfortable stay. Would definitely come back!

10/10 experience. Breathtaking views and sunset from the balcony, perfect location right on the harbor - surrounded by all of the best restaurants and places. The apartment is beautiful - clean, modern, great appliances. (The washing machine even uses AI). The apartment is spacious, comfortable, and despite being in the middle of the action, it is so peaceful. I didn’t want to leave. I will be back here again. The hosts were incredible. Kind, helpful, proactive, and made such a nice experience for us. Thank you!!!!!
