Places to stay in Decentralized Administration of Crete

We felt super comfortable at the place from day one! Everything is clean and the facility is very nicely designed! Especially the host Helen was a great help with her quick responses and great tips!

A really great apartment, super close to the beach (aprox 50m), close to supermarkets, restaurants, bars. Everything you need is a few min away. The apartment was delivered super clean, in the fridge I had a cold bottle of water and a bottle of apple juice, fruits on the table and butter&honey. Christos was very proactive, I locked myself out of the apartment (closed the door with the key inside 🤦🏻), I wrote him on airbnb and he was there in 10 min to help me out. Overall, a great place to stay in Rethymno and a super host !!!

Absolutely loved the house! Great for grandparents and family of four. I would not recommend it to kids smaller than 5 years because of the open staircase. Great spot, beautiful view, comfortable house! Very recommended

Our stay at Ninemia Villas was absolutely perfect! The villa exceeded all expectations – it’s beautifully designed and provides everything for a relaxing getaway. A special thanks to George and his wonderful wife, who welcomed us warmly and supported us with valuable tips about the area. They truly made us feel at home. The villa was immaculate, with thoughtful details everywhere: from high-quality furnishings in the bedrooms and bathrooms to a fully equipped kitchen where nothing was missing. The private pool deck and the outdoor grill created memorable moments. The location is fantastic, just a short walk to Plaka Beach, and the private terrace offered stunning views. For anyone seeking an unforgettable stay in Crete, this is the place. Thank you, George and family, for your hospitality and this amazing accommodation – we’ll definitely be back!

At Vagelis' arrival was like in a home, very cozy, very friendly, very helpful, always approachable and straightforward. If you're looking for peace and quiet, you'll find it here. It is an ideal starting point for excursions, not far from the beautiful beach of Episcopia, easy to reach many tavernas by car and quickly you are also in the town of Rethymno . The pool is extra large and nice for swimming, feels like a private pool ! The room service was very good, there were always fresh towels and was cleaned. It is a very simple place to stay, but it offers everything you need for everyday well-being, without much frills. The sunrises and sunsets can also be enjoyed here - right from the apartment you have fantastic views of the LEFKA ORI mountains and the olive plantations all around.

We had a wonderful time in the villa and in Agia Pelagia. The villa offers high-quality amenities, is quietly located and immediately invites you to relax. Especially the terrace, the small garden and the beautiful pool make the stay unique. The communication was always friendly, and the on-site team looked after us with great courtesy. An absolute highlight was the massage with Mike – we can only warmly recommend this experience! The small beach of Psaromoura is easily reached in a few minutes on foot. There is a cozy bar, loungers for rent and the possibility to fully enjoy the turquoise sea. The nearby village is also within walking distance and offers a variety of great restaurants in addition to a charming beach.

You could not ask for a more perfect location or better view. The hosts were very responsive and helpful with recommendations for sites, car rental, restaurant recommendations, etc. The property is very spacious and the hosts had very nicely stocked some treats and coffee station in the kitchen. There are lots of stairs if mobility is an issue. Only inconvenience was that there was only one key, so unless your group stays together the whole time, it does take some coordination.

We booked one of the luxurious houses, “Thalia”, for a week this summer. It was a fantastic house holding all the modern fasciitis you can ask for. The view was excellent overlooking the ocean from the mountainside where the house is located. The first evenings the very friendly host came by giving us small presents - home baked cake, olive oil, raki and homemade soap. We were 6 persons who stayed there, and everyone of us loved it. You need a car to get to the nearest shops or restaurants. We highly recommend staying in one of the Katalis’ houses.
