Monthly Rentals in Sitanos

Natura Cottages is nothing short of magical! Tucked away in the hills behind the seaside village of Makris Gialos, this tiny community of rustic cottages, cut through with worn stone paths and flowering gardens, is as peaceful a haven as anyone could ask for. The cottages themselves are beautifully decorated and thoughtfully laid out to make the most of limited space, with a cozy but in no way cramped feel. Emma and her team are welcoming, communicative, and full of local recommendations. And the best perk of all—at the entrance to the cottages is the trail head for the stunning hike up through Pefki Gorge and on to the village of Pefki, a must for anyone who's physically up to a vigorous walk!

The villa was so beautiful, very stylish and fulfilled all of our needs for a peaceful getaway in the sun. Yannis and Zoe left lots of local treats for us to try when we arrived and the whole villa was equipped with thoughtful bits and bobs that were very handy to have! They also sent us a long list of local beach/food recommendations that was extremely useful! Etia is a lovely tiny hamlet and feels very special to have the chance to stay in, the surrounding ruins and landscape make the place private and quiet, perfect if you love nature. Thanks for a lovely stay, we'll be sure to visit again!

We loved our stay at Nikolaus' house. The place was amazing, it felt full of history. The beds were comfortable and the bedroom had a lovely view out towards the mountains. The setting was so peaceful and away from all the tourist hotspots, but easy to get everywhere too. Nikolaos was a greast host - we arrived at 1am because of a delayed flight and he was up to meet us at the door. We also accidently locked ourselves out while sitting out on the beautiful terrace and he kindly arranged for us to be let back in again! Would definitely come back and would reccomend to anyone.

We had a very nice and relaxing holiday. Everything was perfect. Our host and his parents took good care of us. The cottage is well equipped and in a very well-maintained condition. We lacked nothing, which is not a matter of course. In the outdoor area, there are beautiful places to stay in the shade. The outdoor shower is great when you come from the beach. Overall, everything was great and recommended, even if the journey from Heraklion Airport took almost 3 hours.
