Vacation rentals with a fireplace in Rethymno

We stayed at Niki's seaside home for 2 weeks. It's the perfect place with privacy and very quiet, especially if you have to work remote. It is 2 min from the beach and walkable distance to restaurants. Niki was a great host, very welcoming and kind and helpful whenever you need something. She provided everything, from beach towels to all kinds if ammenaties. She kindly uncludes nice welcoming gifts and she goes above and beyond to help with your requests should you need something else. Really feels like home away from home.

Everything was great, the appartment is conform to the description. Nikos is really helpfull and gives all the details by text. Thank you for welcoming us !

We really enjoyed our stay at this vacation home. The location is quiet and offers a great view of the sea – perfect for unwinding. The house is tastefully decorated and equipped with everything you need. The landlords were friendly and helpful and made the stay pleasant. All in all, a nice house for a relaxing beach vacation.

Great accommodation, kind and helpful host who was always available to us. 10 min into central Rethymno on paved roads. The host welcomed us with food products and wine in the fridge. The property corresponds to the pictures. Pool and jacuzzi completely private without transparency (which does not apply to villa daphne just next to us). We are happy with everything. The only downside is that the jacuzzi was not completely clean, we had to clean it ourselves.

Very nice modern house (less than five years old?) overlooking the sea. Everything in very good working order, including powerful air conditioning in the bedrooms. Frequent cleaning of the pool area was a benefit, particularly when a storm had come in the night before. Very convenient to Rethymno as well as to several bakeries and restaurants towards the centre of the island.

The location close to a lot of places, appartment is clean and nice, the only thing is when we come home at everhyng, we have to lock the door without any lights in dark and it's hard to see. You should put better instructions for the future about trash disposal and how to pay for climate tax, thank you!

This place is amazing! Cleopatra received us in person, with gifts for us. She introduced us to the accommodation with passion, took us to the charming little square of the village, explained the various activities and surrounding spots. the view from THE terraces is breathtaking (bird 's-eye view of the sea from the heights). the house is perfectly equipped, there is more bathroom than bedrooms. The geographical location is ideal for visiting the entire south center area of the island, which we seek calm and authenticity. for typical and cheap dishes, appointment at the Platia taverna on the small charming square of the village. Too bad we can only give 5 stars maximum! We'll come back, I promise.

Beautiful house in a Cretan village, close to the South coast, but far from the hustle and the north too touristy. Xavier and super responsive and it's very much appreciated! We have to emphasize it! Comfort house close to the best tavern. I recommend Xavier's place without hesitation

The space was spacious, comfortable, and had a beautiful view. We especially loved the large deck—perfect for enjoying morning coffee or dining outdoors. The location is great, with a wonderful bakery and market just a short walk away. You’ll need a car to explore the town and surrounding area, but everything is within a short, easy drive. Our host was incredibly welcoming and responsive, sharing great tips and insights about the area. They also took the time to share aspects of the local culture, which made our stay feel even more special. We were lucky to be in Rethymno over Easter—it was an unforgettable experience!

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 :).

The place was very nice and as described. Daniela was very warm and helpful. We only lacked a little more cooking equipment, as we occasionally wanted to cook and were then somewhat limited with a pan. Basically, we can highly recommend the apartment and would be happy to come back. Thank you very much.

We had the pleasure of staying in Rena's apartment from 5/26 to 6/2/25 and it was a fantastic experience! The apartment was as described but the view from the terrace also exceeded expectations! Unfortunately, we were unable to meet Rena in person, but she was always available for all our requests. She had warned us in advance that the village market would still be closed, so we could stock up on groceries before arriving, but she still made sure we had everything we needed in the house (thank you again!). In the house, there are all kinds of useful accessories for the kitchen, but also some thoughtful touches that I have never found on other occasions! The road to this small village is quite winding, but we felt so good there that we only moved once. There are 2/3 beaches (where we were often alone) reachable by a nice walk in the middle of nowhere breathing the scent of oregano! We hope to be back!

We arrived very late but were warmly welcomed by Maria's beautiful mother, with homemade cake and a warm welcome. Great apartment 2 min from the beach with a very nice beach bar and sun loungers. Private parking at the apartment, shops and everything you need in the neighborhood. Bus to Rethymnon just across the street. Maria was very helpful with recommendations and other things, and followed up during the stay. Couldn't have had a better host. We would love to come back and recommend the place to others.

One-of-a-kind, beautiful stay. If you’re lucky enough to find Stelios and Nina’s home available, book it. The most unique Airbnb I’ve stayed in. Wonderful hosts. Prime location. Gorgeous home with an amazing balcony. 10/10.

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!

Great location, very short walk to the port, beautiful view of the ocean from the balcony. The host was extremely responsive and always willing to help make our stay comfortable! Apartment was very clean and the jacuzzi is a great feature. Multiple cafe’s/bars just downstairs with great food, drinks, and service. Highly recommend staying at this property if you want to be close to the venetian port and all Chania has to offer.

It was our first time in Greece, Crete and it was beautiful. The house was even better than the pictures, amazing view and perfect for 6 people. The elevator inside the house was perfect and the kitchen was lovely to spend time cooking and relaxing. It definitely felt like home and we wish we could’ve stayed longer 😍 I would definitely come back to this house again. Thank you for everything!

Beautiful stone villa perfect for our family! The weather was too cool to utilize the pool but we enjoyed a glass of wine outside in the picturesque settings. When booking, we made the assumption the smaller pool was the hot tub/jacuzzi however it is a smaller (not heated) pool for younger children. The jacuzzi is in the master bedroom. We were very sad to say goodbye to this home.

The house impresses with its large windows, which allow a beautiful view of the sea. In front of all windows, there are sliding mosquito nets, so that even at 40 degrees outside temperature a good indoor climate prevailed. A highlight was the starry sky, which we could enjoy on the mattress on the terrace (under a safe mosquito net). Federico provided us with fresh eggs, goat yogurt as well as honey and olive oil every morning. The interaction was extremely friendly and his tips were excellent. In particular, we will miss the tavern Agios Georgios, a bit individual, flower power and with excellent cuisine.

We LOVED this place!! The villa, the location, and the hosts Eleni and Georgios are all fantastic. The house is stunningly designed inside and out, for both functionality and luxury. The kitchen is supremely well-equipped, beds comfortable, bathrooms and living spaces airy and stylish. We appreciated the multiple terraces, beautiful swimming pool and sauna with a view! The location is perfect without a car: easily walkable to bars, restaurants and supermarkets in Plakias, but situated at the best, quietest, wildest end of the bay, with sandy beach, clear water, a couple of cool beach bars for sundowners and a beautiful walk on the headland. If you do have a car, there are amazing beaches nearby (Skinaria is gorgeous), and walking (and cold swimming) in the Kourtaliotiko Gorge. Eleni and Georgios are amazing hosts: communicative, friendly, thoughtful, offering local recommendations and dealing with any questions or issues efficiently - thank you! 🤩

Our stay at Villa Castellum was amazing! The villa is a perfect place to relax and enjoy the beautiful views. The hammam added an extra touch of luxury and made our stay even more relaxing. We stayed here for a family vacation, and it was just what we needed. The beach and the village are only a 10-minute drive away. The house had everything we needed—nothing was missing, and everything was thoughtfully provided. Maria was incredibly kind and helpful—she responded quickly to all our questions and made our stay truly enjoyable. Thank you, and we will definitely come back!

We stayed at the house as a group of 5 and had the most amazing time. The house is spacious, has a big kitchen with all necessary supplies and had a lot of room to sit together, a perfect place for each time of the day. And not to forget about the amazing view!!! Worth to highlight is that there were a lot of extra supplies in the house like olive oil, raki, etc. We enjoyed that a lot. Also the outside area was cleaned everyday and the bathrooms were cleaned once during the stay. We didn’t miss a thing and can highly recommend staying in this amazing house with great hosts!!

Awesome villa in a great location with plenty to keep the family entertained. Easy 15-20min walk to the beach/Baja beach club, 10min walk to the local mini market (or 3min in the car) Heated pool was a massive bonus staying outside of summer. Maria was great host with a lovely welcome package, we’ll be booking for next year!

Amazing place, beautiful villa with personal bathrooms in each room and a huge citrus garden around. Perfect for big groups.
