Vacation rentals with a pool in Crete

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.

We had a very nice stay and felt very comfortable. Everything was clean and the place as described. Inquiries were responded to quickly. Thanks so much for the great vacation ☺️

Title: A Perfect Stay at a Beautiful Airbnb! I recently stayed at this stunning Airbnb, and I can’t recommend it highly enough! The space was beautifully decorated, immaculately clean, and offered all the amenities you could ask for. The natural light streaming in made the atmosphere feel warm and inviting. What truly set this experience apart was our host. They were incredibly friendly and attentive, ensuring we had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. From local recommendations to quick responses to our questions, their hospitality made us feel right at home. If you’re looking for a charming getaway with a wonderful host, this is the place to be! I can’t wait to return.

We booked this place to get away from crowds/to relax and it was perfect for that. We stocked up on groceries in Kissamos on our way in so we could mostly stay put since it is fairly remote. The taverna down the road (Gialites Taverna) is walkable and was an excellent experience. It is about an hour drive to get to other destinations - we went to Falassarna, Balos and Kissamos. The drive is beautiful through the mountains but is very winding and narrow so just be prepared for that. The house itself was very nice/updated and had everything we needed. Couldn’t get enough of the views from the pool or the star gazing at night. I may be somewhat bias to this place as my boyfriend and I actually got engaged on the pool deck at sunset one evening, if that gives you an idea of how picturesque it really is. Pool was actually pretty cold in August but not enough to keep us out. A\C and all appliances worked great. Book this place for an unforgettable experience!

Had a lovely 6 night stay at the villa, the perfect stay in beautiful and peaceful surroundings. The villa is very clean and has everything you need to make it feel like home, and the pool and outdoor area is perfect, with stunning views over the olive groves. We had a hire car for our stay, and the location is the perfect base to explore Western Crete’s beaches, gorges and the local vineyards. Krisztina was very helpful, responding to any questions very quickly and giving us helpful information. She even let us stay at the villa as long as we wanted on the last day, which was amazing as we had a late flight home! Thanks so much for a lovely stay, if we ever come back to Crete we would love to stay at Country Bellavista again!

We had a wonderful time with Lefteris and Pamela! Pamela welcomed us very warmly from the beginning and even baked us cakes over the course of the week. Communication with Lefteris went smoothly and reliably. He always responded quickly and was very nice and accommodating. The place is a dream. It is very clean, has a wonderful view and is well equipped!! You had everything you need 😊 We will be happy to come back at any time, we enjoyed our time very much and highly recommend it!🍀💚

Cozy and quiet place, in the center of Crete, halfanhour by road (wide and in excellent condition the one towards Retymno) from the north and south coasts. The village of Meronas is very pleasant. An authentic experience after many beaches.

6th visit to this property and will not be the last. Marianthi has thought of everything you may need to enhance your stay - welcome fruit, water, milk and treat waiting for you. Any kitchen utensil and equipment you may need, including clothes 'horse' on the back terrace with clothes pegs as it can get a little breezy. Beautiful spacious apartment with gorgeous all day sun terrace. If you like the heat and the sun you will like this wonderful 'Haven'. 20-25min walk to 'the lake' depending upon your ability but many restaurants, shops and distracting views along the way to make it seem shorter. Information file in the apartment giving you ideas on where to eat and what to visit. Parking on site. Very close to Pelagus dive and water sport rental centre if you're looking for adventures in the sea. We just love it here and are already looking to see when we can go back.

Very nice apartment close to the airport. Good communication with host.

The house is exactly as shown in the photographs, very comfortable and perfect for holidays. Our host Romeo was so helpful and attentive of all our request it made us fell at home. The house has its own exit to the beach will makes it so special. Totally recommended.

Our stay at these apartments was simply amazing! Everything was exactly as pictured, if not better – spacious, beautiful, and stylish, with high ceilings and impeccable cleanliness. The apartment had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Our host, Stamatis, was incredibly friendly and helpful, providing excellent recommendations on where to go and what to buy. There’s a taxi stand and bus stop just steps away, as well as small stores with basic groceries nearby. The beach is only 50 meters across the road, with bars where you can enjoy food and use their sun loungers. There are also wonderful cozy tavernas close by with delicious food. We had a fantastic time and can’t wait to come back!

Wonderful and clean place with ample amenities - perhaps one of the best stocked apartments we stayed at! Looks just like the pictures and with strong wifi. The view from the shared pool lounge area is so beautiful. We didn't realize that the apartment is high up on a "mountain" in a small town, but fairly easy to get down to the Platanias city. There are some restaurants nearby which add to the convenience and some options to get food delivered if need be. While the area is more "remote" than being on the main road itself, its very cute and surrounded by many other houses and alleyways with beautiful views. The hosts are also amazing - super responsive, helpful, friendly and onsite which is so convenient. Wish we could've stayed longer!

Very comfortable stay - weather was hot so we didn't spend much time inside but made good use of the table on the patio and the pool. We could hear the main road in the distance but it didn't bother us. We had a car, so had no trouble getting around - we found we needed to drive to the nearest supermarket.

We had a wonderful stay at Claudia and Marco's. The apartment was spacious and perfectly equipped, private terrace, very quiet and beautiful environment (we were surrounded by olive trees), superb sunsets, and the pool was amazing. Claudia and Marco were available for any questions and very kind. We recommend!!!:)

Incredible stay! This place is a true gem! It’s private, with panoramic views, a beautiful pool, and wonderful cats! The host cooked for us, and it was the best meal we had on our Greece trip! I would say 100% this place is worth a visit! It was a great hub for us! We felt so welcomed, and every moment of the trip we were impressed by this stunning home.

The property is beautiful and location just perfect just a 15mins bus ride to the harbor which is full of nice restaurants and shops etc. The property is a short walk to the beautiful beaches with a few beach bars with nice food and drink and restaurant not far away with very nice food. Thanks Angelos for all the assistance and recommendations of place to go

Great villa with everything you need. It is fairly close to Chania center, about 15/20 minutes by car. The villa was very clean and they even offered us to clean the villa and change towels and bed sheets during our stay. Effie was very welcoming, with some gifts and local products when we arrive and when we left. They were very reactive, and provided with what we needed. For example, they came to give us a baby bed and chair as we did not indicate we were coming with one. The garden is spacious, with some great area to have an aperitif or lunch/dinner: there is a big table in the shadow which is a plus. We strongly recommend and would come back with pleasure.

Absolutely incredible stay at the villa very opulent from the minute the gate opens . So spacious,5 of us stayed for 1 week and the villa was just perfect. The outside area was amazing for relaxing wish we could have stayed longer. And will definitely book again with Dimitrios. ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ Thank you

Enjoyed a beautiful week at Kedros. Perfect location - walking distance to a few stunning beaches, delicious restaurants just down the road, and 5 mins walk from supermarkets. Easy to get the bus to and from Chania old town. Perfect size and set up for 6 girls - would also be great for 3 couples. Loved the pool - it’s bigger than it looks in pics! And the outdoor space was ideal for relaxing in the sun. Mathios was very responsive and friendly whenever we had questions, and gave us recommendations for food, taxi company etc. Wish we could have stayed longer!!!

Thalassa is a wonderful villa with everything you need for a week in the Greek sun. And Panormos is a lovely large village/small town with wonderful tavernas

We had an amazing stay at Lily’s cottage. The space was exactly as beautiful as the pictures show. Everything was clean and comfortable. Lily provided us with lots of great local recommendations making for a quite lovely stay.

We had such a lovely stay at Manolis’ house. Our family of 7 (incliding a 2 & 5 year old & my 75 yo mom) all loved our visit. Manolis met us and gave us such a warm welcome with so many local tips and recommendations. It was even more beautiful then the photos and full od beautiful family heirlooms. The village of Amari is beautiful and peaceful and the villa is perfectly located in the middle of the village right next to the taverna. The views are amazing, the pool an numerous patios are gorgeous with stunning views and it is so peaceful and private. There were so many lovely complementary foods from the local vendors on arrival which made us feel right at home. Rumy cooked us the most amazing meals we had in the region that were so incredibly delicious! Do not miss her meals! She modified multiple dishes for our dietary restrictions. She is truly a masterful chef and such a wonderfully warm person. Our kids loved the home, pool, outdoor cats & Rumy! Everyone was so kid friendly!
