Vacation rentals in Aradena

We were blown away by the beauty of this place- even more charming than the photos with a very relaxed and authentic ambience. The highlight for us was the rocky beach access to crystal clear water and excellent snorkeling. It’s a bit isolated - which was perfect for us, but extremely well equipped with everything you need for cooking inside and outside! We received a wonderful welcome complete with a large stock of fruits and vegetables. The only downside was it was hard to leave. Thank you for the excellent stay!

We absolutely loved this home! Surrounded by stunning nature, it’s full of charm and character—we didn’t want to leave. We booked for a week and spent two entire days just enjoying the house. The design beautifully blends modern comfort with historic charm. It’s stylish, cozy, and incredibly well-equipped—one of the best Airbnb kitchens we’ve seen! We cooked multiple meals and had everything we needed. George was a thoughtful host, leaving fresh fruits, snacks, juice, and a welcome bottle of raki. Bathrooms were clean and stocked; bedrooms had plenty of pillows, blankets, and even slippers—perfect for the cool floors. The outdoor space is a dream. We spent every morning and evening at the dining and pool area. Our dog loved the spacious garden and the friendly local cats. The lush greenery made it feel like home. Note: the road up is narrow and winding—classic Crete. It’s manageable (even with a big SUV), and the hilltop view is totally worth it. We’d come back in a heartbeat!

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 !!!

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 A Truly Exceptional Stay! From the moment we arrived, this Airbnb exceeded all expectations. The space was spotless, beautifully decorated, and thoughtfully equipped with everything we could need. Every little detail—from the fully stocked kitchen to the cozy, welcoming touches—made it feel like a true home away from home. Our host was incredibly welcoming and communicative, providing excellent recommendations and making sure we were comfortable throughout our stay. The location was ideal—peaceful and relaxing, yet close to great restaurants, shops, and attractions. One of the best parts was the very generous late checkout, which was absolutely perfect since we had a late flight and could relax without rushing—thank you so much for that! We especially loved sitting out on the balcony each morning with a coffee, taking in the view. It was the perfect way to unwind. We would come back in a heartbeat. Thank you again for an amazing stay

La maison de Manolis est superbe, tout correspond parfaitement aux photos. C’est un endroit paisible et dans lequel on veut rester longtemps. Manolis est également un hôte très réactif et très bien organisé. Je recommande très fortement !!

Amazing villa with spectacular views . Perfect location 10 mins walk to 5 tavernas and 20 mins walk to beach ( back up a hill though!)

Bei Vagelis war das Ankommen wie in einem Zuhause, sehr gemütlich, sehr freundlich, sehr hilfsbereit, immer ansprechbar und unkompliziert. Wer Ruhe sucht der findet sie hier. Es ist für Ausflüge ein idealer Ausgangspunkt, nicht weit an den schönen Strand von Episkopie, leicht viele Tavernen mit dem Auto zu erreichen und schnell ist man auch in der Stadt Rethymno . Der Pool ist besonders groß und schön zum schwimmen, fühlt sich an wie ein privater Pool ! Der Zimmerservice war sehr gut, es gab immer frische Handtücher und wurde sauber gemacht. Es ist eine sehr einfache Unterkunft, aber sie bietet alles was man für das tägliche Wohlfühlen benötigt, ohne viel Schnick-Schnack. Besonders sind auch die Sonnenaufgänge und Sonnenuntergänge hier zu genießen - direkt vom Appartment hat man eine fantastische Aussicht auf die LEFKA ORI Berge und die Olivenplantagen rings herum.

We were two families with two children and spend a week in Lena’s house. The villa is specious and comfortable. Pool was nice and clean. The house is in a remote location so you do need a car for everything, but you are in a less touristy and quiet spot of Crete and you can reach most of the top attractions within an hour drive. It’s about 15min drive to the nearest beach and 45min to Rhetymno town. It’s also easy to go to the mountains.
