Great place to stay in Crete for a peaceful and private getaway near beautiful beaches. The villa is luxurious and the view is amazing. Stella is a great host. Easy to communicate with. Clear instructions and good recommendations. We had a great holiday here and would love to come back one day and explore further.

Myself and my wife stayed here on our honeymoon. The villa was absolutely amazing! Such a beautiful space, with everything you could possibly need. Getting there by GPS alone may be tricky, since Google Maps doesn't recognise the private road it's on, but Giannis & Evi's directions were so precise that we had no difficulty finding the property. The hosts were very communicative and firendly, and kept in contact with any updates. There are some fantastic nearby restaurants, and the nearest village has some very good coffee and a mini market for groceries. We would highly recommend this spot to anyone looking for a peaceful Cretan holiday.

We stayed at Kostas's place for a week and felt very comfortable. The house is really very nice, very modern, sparkling clean (inside and outside) and corresponds to the photos. Really great are the many seating/dining areas: inside at the large dining table, on the patio and on the balcony. Nice is also the small pool, which we used a lot. It is not heated, but atmospheric lighting in the evening. Overall, the lighting in the house and on the patio is nicely designed. The "coffee bar" is also great. The kitchen is very well equipped and easy to use. You have to be aware that you are in the middle of the mountains. The views and views are extremely beautiful – but you have to plan driving times for excursions, etc. Also, a small car is really recommended, as parking in front of the house already requires a little maneuvering skill. Many thanks to Kostas, who had provided us with a raki, delicious cheese and a snack as a welcome greeting.

Excellent place to stay just the right distance to so many great places. The home was lovely and felt safe the whole time.

Amazing place really something special. We have stayed in many beautiful places but this one is right at the top. The views are staggering and the quality of accommodation is right up there. The delightful couple who manage it really add to the experience. Fabulous quiet beaches nearby and a lovely pool with fabulous views.

Wonderful House in beautiful surroundings, big garden, great pool, great views. We really felt at home, every kitchen tool an all necessities were there, shelves full of books in english, german an norwegian language. Eivind is a very nice host who answered promptly to all questions and provided valuable recommendations for nearby restaurants and beaches. We had a wonderful time on Crete!

We booked Mello House for our honeymoon, and we’re so pleased we did. The house is quite literally a hidden gem down a dirt track - perfect location for a romantic stay in a beautiful part of the world. The house is incredibly peaceful and private, but with all the amenities you’d expect of a luxury villa. We particularly loved the pool with the swim jet, and the giant bath in the bedroom. The hosts, Jude and Andreas, were fantastic from start to finish. Checkin was easy (and early!), and they provided continual support & really helpful recommendations throughout. The surrounding area has all the thing you’d need within 5 minute drive. Chania is about a 40 minute car journey - but it was very easy to arrange taxis both there and back if you’re looking for a night out. If you’re thinking of booking a hotel over Mello House, there’s absolutely no question that the latter is better in every way, and really excellent value for money for what you get. We will be back!

Niki was a lovely host, when we saw her in person she would politely ask us how we are, about our stay and equally / mindfully giving us space and privacy. She has a very beautiful, clean, well presented, and very functional home. It has the right amount of privacy, situated within Olive Groves and with neighbours spaced out. There are stunning views outside all the windows, especially the main foldout doors onto a lovely patio with table and 2 sunbeds. There is a lovely beach cove 3 mins walk away, which we borrowed sun chairs and umbrella for. From this beach you can walk to other stretches of beach and Tavernas. It's easy to walk or drive to the other Tavernas and Mini Mart in the village. Equally other villages, beaches, sightseeing, archaeological sights and hikes are easy to explore. We would happily stay here again! *We also enjoyed some lovely figs from Nikis Garden, and some sweet treats offered for my partners Birthday 💖

We had a wonderful time at Villa Niki. A beautiful home with a rustic yard, breathtaking mountain view, well equipped. The communication with Mihalis was quick and easy. The location is perfect in order to reach the beautiful Cretan sea and go on day trips to beautiful villages. I highly recommend it!

We had a lovely stay at Irene's house. She and her son were very welcoming and friendly. Any questions were answered very quickly. The house is beautiful and view is beautiful. Highly recommended.

Excellent spot for some peace and quiet. The host was incredibly helpful, welcoming and responsive. He provided a great platter of fruit, raki and some homemade (by his mother) baked treats. The house was spotless. There are 2 locals taverns, one a 5 min walk and the other a 20 minute walk away. Would come here again!

An amazing stay at a gorgeous house on the beach - a pleasure to watch your kids play in the sand while you sit on a private terrace just above. Restaurants (and the people running them) were absolutely wonderful. Its a small area, detached from the city and large tourism projects elsewhere. But Marathi Beach has everything you need for a very relaxing and enjoyable visit. My only comment is that the home lacks an indoor livingroom / dining area. It didn't bother us as we happily ate at the covered outdoor table or sat by the beach in the covered loungers - but this may not suit someone looking to relax inside in the late evening

lovely apartment with a wonderful view

10/10 WONDERFUL beach getaway at the Treehouse & would definitely re-book during my next Crete visit!! This listing is literally steps away from an amazing Taverna & 2-3 min walk from the BEST beach. If you’re looking for a beach experience where the locals go and it’s not overcrowded, I highly recommend the Loutraki beach which again is literally steps from the Airbnb. We visited the other beach Marathi and still highly prefer the Loutraki beach for its serenity, hidden gem vibe, and CLEAR water. In addition, this airbnb is only a 25 min easy drive to Chania. The home is exactly as pictured and its unique design offers an elevated beach getaway. Yes, the owners live on the property; however, it was NOT an issue at all for us. The Airbnb is designed such that you do have privacy and a tranquil stay.

Wonderful apartment, in a beautiful location by the sea, with a fabulous view from the terrace, the beach a few steps away. The apartment is lovely, there is everything the guests need, every detail has been thought about to be able to enjoy a wonderful and leisurely holiday. We were happy to spend our vacation at this location.

We had a wonderful 6 days in "The Epicurean". The house is thoughtfully decorated and decorated with a lot of love for detail and very clean. We immediately felt comfortable and did not want to leave. Marianthi is a very accommodating and friendly host. An info folder she compiled with lots of tips for things to do and restaurants was very helpful. Thank you so much for everything, Marianthi! We will be back!!

Me and my fam. of four really enjoyed our stay in Eleftheria Seaside Trad. house. The apartment was very clean and we felt really at home. It is located within walkingdistance to everything (town square, numerous restaurants, beaches and beautiful hikingtrails). The view was lovely, and on the cosy terrace we could enjoy the sun in the morning and the shade in the afternoon. We will recommend the apartment and the lovely Elounda. We hope to be able come back soon!

Wonderful stay! Just a few minutes walk to the beach. Quiet and comfy!

what a wonderful place, thank you!

At Golden Sea Place we found exactly the peace and relaxation we needed. Very cozy and bright accommodation with stunning views over the bay. Sun loungers on the terrace in the sun or in the shade of an olive tree. At any time you can access a few steps to the private, rocky beach and throw yourself into the clear, turquoise waters. Manolis, the neighbor who takes care of the house on site, took great care of us and was always available. We also loved his dog very much. The neighbors in the surrounding gardens were also all very welcoming. We felt very comfortable. For the driveway from the road to the house, a slightly higher car is highly recommended (as for many roads in the southeast of Crete).

A charming property in an idyllic position. Generous and helpful hosts. Highly recommend.

Georgia's place is on the edge of a very nice little beach in a wild and unspoiled area. I recommend this place without hesitation and I hope to be able to come back to this place one day

We loved Villa Vriko, especially the rooftop deck with a view of the sea. Great for a family of four with two kids that love to play on the beach. Thank you!
