Glamping - tented cabin in Chania, Crete
Super logement dans la nature. Il y'a tout ce qu'il faut pour passer un très bon séjour. L'emplacement est super et dans un calme absolu. Je recommande vivement !!!

Seaside home
la maison est très jolie et confortable, il y a tout de proximité ( restaurant-bar... ecc ...) la hôte Niki très gentille et chaleureuse, une des meilleures expérience airbnb, sûrement à répéter.

Villa Proto Helidoni - A cozy beachfront Villa
Eine sehr schöne Unterkunft. Vor allem in der Vorsaison ruhig. Grosser Aussenplatz für die eigene Nutzung und Kaffeetrinken direkt am Meer😊. Der Innenbereich grosszügig, so dass man sich auch bei kühleren Temperaturen drinnen wohl fühlen kann. Kommunikation super, schnell und sehr freundlich. Danke Nikos! Auch für das Willkommens - Geschenk (Früchte, Wasser und Olivenöl)

Chania Sea View Summer House
Une charmante petite maison avec vue sur la mer ! Un petit endroit tranquille pour visiter le nord ouest de l’île. Nous avons bénéficié d’excellents conseils de visites et de restaurants. La maison est à quelques minutes en voiture d’un grand supermarché. Nous recommandons fortement !

Sea and Sun #2
Wir waren im Herbst eine Woche mit unseren drei Kindern in Frangokastello. Wir wurden von den Gastgebern sehr herzlich empfangen und haben sogar verschiedene regionale Lebensmittel geschenkt bekommen, darunter Feta, Gebäck und Zitrusfrüchte. Die Unterkunft selbst bietet alles was man braucht. Besonders gefallen hat uns der Ofen und die Strandnähe. In der Nebensaison ist der Ort sehr, sehr ruhig, es gibt nur eine Hand voll Tavernen in der ganzen Gegend und ein paar Supermärkte, die geöffnet sind. Das hat uns aber nicht weiter gestört.

Sweet home
Superbe logement très lumineux et spacieux. La situation près du centre-ville, de la vieille ville et proche du bord de mer était parfaite. En prime, une belle vue ; sur la mer d'un côté et sur les montagnes de l'autre. L'appartement est au 5e étage mais avec ascenseur. La cuisine est très bien équipée. Quartier résidentiel très calme. Bref, bon rapport qualité-prix. Très bon contact avec Manolis (à distance) qui nous a fait des suggestions de restos et visites durant le séjour.

Villa Thalassa Stavromenos beach
Exceptional Stay! We had an amazing experience. From the moment we arrived, we felt warmly welcomed and right at home. The apartment was beautifully maintained and equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. We can't thank the host enough for their incredible hospitality and availability to help us with our needs. We highly recommend this place and hope to return in the future!

Beachfront apartment
We were two couples sharing this apartment and it was well equipped and spacious, as per the photos. The beds were comfortable with good quality linen and it was nice to have shower and beach towels. The large balcony was a great space with a good view but two of our party have slight hearing issues and the traffic noise made conversation difficult at times. However the location of the apartment is great with such an interesting beach and sea view. We swam frequently and it was easy to pop down at all times of the day and evening. The walk to the old town was pleasant and easy and it was well worth a walk to the castle. We had a problem with the fob not working to access the parking area but Constantine responded quickly and resolved it. Despite the parking space being on the small side we had no issues with a medium sized car that fitted 4 adults and luggage comfortably. Constantine met us to show us the parking and apartment despite being quite busy which we appreciated.

The PAUSE <Villa by the Sea with heated Pool >
We had a fabulous stay here. The villa is lovely, inside and out, with a well equipped kitchen, including food staples and a variety of different seating areas outside. The pool is great and the beach is virtually on the doorstep, with free sunbeds (if you buy at least a drink from the local taverna). In terms of local amenities, there is a small shop and a couple of tavernas within a few minutes walk, plus a small hotel complex, where you can also eat and visit their bar. There are 2 larger supermarkets within a couple of kilometres, for which you would either need a car or taxi, however the hosts were kind enough to ferry us there and back, when we first arrived, which was so helpful. Chania Old Town is beautiful and we travelled there on a couple of occasions by taxi (28E) in the evening, but you can also take a bus which stops near to the villa. Finally, the hosts, Eleni and Thrasyvoulos were lovely, regularly checking in without being intrusive. Highly recommended.

Villa Smili-Naiades/3 bedrooms, luxury, beachfront
We live Eleni’s villa. Superbly well equipped spotless and great location. We were greeted with lots of home baked goodies (delicious) fruit wine and raki’s. They brought extra toys for our 22 month old and regularly checked in to see if we needed anything. Second visit and hopefully not the last. Thank you (both) eleni’s for all you did to make our holiday so Memorable. Anne

Pearl Seaside Cozy Apartments 1
Excellent séjour chez Manolis. L’appartement est très propre et nous pouvons tout visiter à pieds. Le toit terrasse est magnifique et la vue imprenable. Nous reviendrons.

Magnifique villa en Crète avec piscine vue mer
The villa is a most beautiful place for a relaxed family vacation. Quiet, spacious and with all the amenities for a relaxed stay. The next town is nearby, only a few minutes away by car. The local support is excellent, very friendly, very responsive and alert. All in all, a very recommendable place.

Villa Mathios, 50m away from the beach !!
We had a great stay at the villa for a week during a shoulder period. The proximity of the villa to a fabulous cafe and restaurant was great, with only a short 100m walk to both. The villa is super comfortable and decorated tastefully. Nikos arranged a hire car to be dropped off and picked up from us at the villa which was so convenient. We had a late check in and arranged to find some sandwiches from the cafe in the fridge, a bowl of drukte, bottle of wine and biscuits - a very welcome surprise. This is a great option to come and stay even during the low season.

Sea View White Villa
Wir haben die Zeit in der Sea View White Villa sehr genossen. Die Lage ist ein Traum. 15 Minuten vom Flughafen entfernt, direkt am Strand. In der unmittelbaren Umgebung gibt es mehrere gute Restaurants. Die Unterkunft lässt keine Wünsche offen. Der Pool kann auf Wunsch etwas geheizt werden, sodass man auch schon früh in der Saison vollen Badespaß hat. Der Whirlpool lädt zum entspannen ein. Das Haus ist sehr gut ausgestattet mit zwei Schlafzimmern und 2 Bädern ideal für 3-4 Personen. Stravros war sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Es gab kleine Leckereien zur Begrüßung und wir fühlten uns sofort willkommen. Rundum ein toller Urlaub, Danke nochmals!

Seaview Villa Prima, Sea & Sun Villas
Thanks Peter and his whole team for a great stay. The villa was in a great location, close to a couple good restaurants and markets; it was private, with only one other villa in the area with guests; and very comfortable. Both my wife & I and the other couple we were with felt we had privacy while on property since we split accommodations upstairs and down. Overall it was a great villa and wonderful vacation!! Thanks again Team Peter. Chris, Kay, Jon, and Pam

Lux Villa Faros, 4 BD, 3 BA, private infinity pool
Fantastische villa met prachtig zwembad en uitzicht. Beneden bij de zee kun je mooi snorkelen en vissen bekijken dankzij het super heldere water. Wij en onze kinderen hebben er van genoten. Eerste dorp is 30 minuten rijden dus zorg voor voldoende boodschappen.

Silver Sea Family House
What an amazing place! Ioannis has thought about everything you could ever need and it is there!! Every thing was immaculate, beautiful white linen, beach towels, the best kitchen ever. Ioannis very thoughtfully had provided large bottles of water and fresh fruit in the fridge which I thought was wonderful. We had a problem on arrival which was sorted so quickly, thank you Ioannis! We have been to many Airb&bs and this was the best. So near the sea and fantastic restaurants, i miss the wonderful food! Thank you so much for our wonderful stay

Villa Tile
Sometimes it’s such a cliché to say “the photos did not do it justice “ but this is one of those rare occasions when it really does apply.. The Villa Tile is the perfect place for a couple or small family and has everything within a few metres.. the beach literally is on you back door step, next door is a beach bar with a pool which you are welcome to use. The hosts went above and beyond to make everything perfect for us during our stay, even undertaking some emergency sewing and pillow adjustments when we said that the pillows were a little too firm for our liking… We are already planning to come back in May 2025 and hope to use the Villa Tile again.

Villa Georgia coco-mat / Seaview apartment
Me and my boyfriend thoroughly enjoyed staying here! It is even better than the pictures. A beautiful patio with a gorgeous sea view, super clean and a very short walk to the beach and several cute beach front restaurants. George was super responsive, friendly and gave us plenty of recommendations! His place was super clean with a calming interior and beautiful furniture. You will love it here!

SeaSand Beachfront Villa: Sunset view near taverna
Magnifique villa au bord de la mer. La maison est très bien équipée, nous n’avons manqué de rien. Les trois chambres sont très confortables et la literie excellente. La vue depuis la maison est exceptionnelle, il y a un accès direct à une très belle plage, sauvage, nous avons adoré ! J’ai hâte d’y revenir ! Georges a été très accueillant et toujours à l’écoute. il nous a donné de très bonnes adresses pour manger et nous avons beaucoup apprécié les attentions à notre arrivée. Il y avait du vin, de l’huile d’olive, des sodas… Merci infiniment, nous avons passé d’excellentes vacances 😊

Seaside, relaxing family house with playground!
We had a fantastic stay at Seaside Villa Lavrys. The villa itself is spacious, well-maintained, and located in a peaceful area with a lovely view. It’s a perfect spot for a relaxing getaway, but do keep in mind that you’ll need a car to get around as the location is a bit remote. Taxi transportation from Chania costs around €30. What truly made our experience special was our host, Alex. From the moment we booked, Alex was incredibly responsive and attentive, always available to answer any questions we had. He went out of his way to ensure we were comfortable throughout our stay, offering great local tips and assistance whenever needed. His kindness and willingness to help made a huge difference in our trip. Alex’s family was also very warm and welcoming, making us feel right at home. We would highly recommend this villa to anyone looking for a peaceful, family-friendly stay in Crete, and Alex’s hospitality made it even better.

Pervolé North: Beach Holiday @ Sea Front Apartment
Nous avons été totalement ravis du logement et de ses équipements. Chose que je n'avais pas réalisé et qui est un poil dérangeant sont les fêtes à la piscine d'à côté deux fois par semaine. A part cela, tout est parfait. Les hôtes sont charmants et les deux propriétaires sont au petit soin. Nous reviendrons sans hésitation.

Villa Seashell★ Beach front Luxury villa in Chania
Perfect location very close to Chania. We had breakfast every morning by the sea and fell asleep with sound of waves every night. Perfect home and by far the best airbnb we have stayed in. Beautifully decorated, Amazing attention to details- this place has EVERYTHING you need. Highest quality of hosting. We will be back

Beach Front House, Kalamaki Bungalow
Tolles Apartment mit sehr schönem, privaten Garten, nur durch eine Straße vom Meer getrennt. Wir haben uns sehr wohl und willkommen gefühlt, die Gastgeberin war sehr nett, gab uns gute Tipps und stand immer für Fragen zur Verfügung. Wir konnten Buddelzeug für die Kinder ausleihen, haben Holz für den Kamin bekommen und eine wunderbare Zeit dort verbracht. Der Garten bietet duftenden Jasmin, verschiedene Zitrus- und andere Bäume. Wir haben jeden Morgen draußen auf der großen Terrasse gefrühstückt, es hätte auch noch eine zweite mit Grill bekommen. Wir waren Ende Oktober dort, Klimaanlage (nicht benötigt) und Heizung (auch nicht gebraucht) sind vorhanden, auch teils Fliegengitter gegen die leider noch recht aktiven Stechmücken. Ein Auto ist schon sinnvoll (eigener Parkplatz vorhanden), eine Bushaltestelle wäre aber auch in der Nähe gewesen. Fußläufig Cafés, Restaurants und kleine Supermärkte. Bis Chania-Zentrum 15 Min. mit dem Auto. Wir würden jederzeit wiederkommen!
