Vacation home accommodations in Decentralized Administration of Crete

Great place to enjoy a peaceful time. Mountain views and swimming pool as a bonus. The location is close to the highway and ~1h away from diverse natural sceneries and cities. A car is needed to go about, Internet is not the best but OK when it worked, the sewage can also let some unwanted smells out but not a terrible thing considering that you are in a cottage in the middle of the forest like Hill. Overall the place is recommended!

Thank you for your hospitality. The owners helped us with the transfer from the airport and greeted us with wine and homemade cake, it was very nice. The apartment is great, has everything you need for a comfortable stay. The sandy beach is less than 5 minutes away. Beautiful promenade with lots of shops, restaurants and transport rental. I recommend to visit and have a good holiday!

Our discovery in Akoumia of a great Greco-Cretan family moved us. This is Dimitra and Costas. The reception was beyond our expectations. We found a place with everything you need when we arrived: kitchen, bathroom, sleeping, bath towels... The food taken from the restaurant, managed by Dimitra, comes from the farm-culture-breeding (goats, sheep), managed by Costas. It's organic. Here's what we find: wine, raki, goat milk, meat, vegetables... healthy quality products. Dithyrambic is the word not usurped. Akoumia is a typical Cretan village. 3 churches in a 200-meter course! A car is necessary for visiting, shopping. The beaches, very pretty, are twenty minutes away. We lived in a novel by Kazantsakis the Greek. Thank you so much to Dimitra and Kostas We highly recommend this place to stay.

An enchanting accommodation in a beautiful and peaceful location. We found very sweet people in the other two houses, and the tables outside and poolside provided a perfect space to have great breakfasts and day-long relaxing chat with each other. The relative isolation of the location provides tranquility and allows you to admire a million stars at night. At the same time, in just 5' by car you reach the village of Vamos where you can find minimarkets, great tavernas and also a great cafeteria/breakfast place (the Ano Kato). Mikela - the host - can be contacted in a matter of minutes and is very helpful. We hope to come back in this magical place at some point in the future.

We (father, two children) booked Yanna's house for 9 days in April 2025. Yanna and her husband Yiannis gave us a warm welcome, and check-in was very easy. The house is beautifully situated on a hillside with an east-facing view toward the sunrise. You quickly learn to appreciate breakfast on the patio! The house was very clean, equipped with everything you need, and had comfortable beds. The highlight is certainly the outdoor area, which has been lovingly designed. The old coastal road is below the property, and traffic can be a bit annoying during the day on weekdays. However, it is quiet at night and on the weekends. A car is essential; it's a 10-15-minute drive to Agios Nikolaos (pleanty of restaurants and supermarkets). Yanna can give good tips for restaurants in the area. Cretan hospitality is well known, but Yanna and Yiannis have taken it to the next level!

Superb value for money apartments and such freindly hosts giannis and his wife full of local tips and recommendations for our stay couldn’t be more helpful also Falassarna beach stunning the best I have seen in Crete

Excellent apartments really close to the beach. Spacious, clean and very close ti super market, beach and taverns. Giannis the owner was vwry kind and helpful. Highly recommended

The house is very comfortable and well-equipped. The views are breathtaking and the private pool is perfect for refreshing. The area is great. 2 beautiful double bedrooms and a beautiful children's room with bunk beds. Thank you Kaisa for the welcome. We'll be happy to go back!

Wonderful spot, peaceful and relaxing and great snorkelling on the doorstep

The house was very clean, spacious, very nicely decorated. The area combines mountain and sea. It offers tranquility and rest from the noise of the city. We enjoyed our coffee and meals while gazing at the lush olive groves and the bell tower of Our Lady, alongside an endless open horizon . The environment is ideal for walking and tours of the Cretan nature knowing both the precious history and struggles of the residents of the area. Nearby there are picturesque cafes . The residents of the area are hospitable and very kind. We were thrilled to be back for sure.

This place is in a great location in Rethymno, not terribly far from parking as old town goes yet also in a nice quiet street by being convenient to a lot to do. Had a very modern feel, plenty of bathrooms and such a cool bohemian feeling back porch. Good value for 2 couples staying in Rethymno.

Very nice spot! The owners are very communicative and hospitable. This was an excellent location with good proximity to lots of wine and olive oil. You will need a car to get around here.

very happy with my stay in Matala!! I could hear the waves from my apartment, it was right in the center and clean. also extremely nice hosts, they even offered me a ride to the next town! only minus is that there was no water for a day due to construction work, which was not communicated, but other than that great stay, would do again

Manolis is very good, communicative host who offers decent accomodation for a fair price. As we travel to this area on a regular basis and have a few comparisons, I would recommend Kapsali's House as one of the best places we stayed in. No problems at all, maybe a bathroom would deserve some more polishing.

Clean house with all the facilities for a pleasant stay. Mr. Dimitris and Mrs. Maria were very hospitable and discreet.

A nice little apartment. The beach is easily accessible on foot. The city itself offers a couple of small restaurants. For more experiences of the island, renting a car is great.

Top location, 200m from beach, 1km from super markets tavernas and pharmacies, best place for vacations, very friendly staff and neighborhood! I'll visit again in the future for sure!

We can recommend the place without restriction - The terrace is sensational, even better than in the photos - Great view of the Cretan Sea - Very good mattresses - Very friendly and helpful landlords - A good starting point for many activities in eastern and central Crete Notes: - The place is close to the highway, which you can sometimes hear, but it didn't bother us. - We found the village of Malia quite terrible, but it's OK for shopping and eating. Otherwise, you don't have to go there. Other: We flew with Aegean and rented a car from bluecarrental. Both were very good.

A very beautiful and comfortable apartment, well designed as a space both internally and externally, with nice decor. Perfect location, with great ease of parking. The hospitality is great, I would love to stay there again, I highly recommend it.

Lovely stay at Fotinis House, house is lovely, good distance from beaches at Matala, various hikes and well situated in a nice village with amenities (petrol, shops, restaurants). Host was amazing - we arrived late and he had stocked the fridge with essentials for us in case we needed anything that night. Would highly recommend- wonderful stay!

Maria and Stelios were very accommodating, friendly and welcomed us personally at check-in. They also took care of us during the stay and even put local specialties on the terrace for us in between. The apartment was exceptionally beautiful. The kitchen is very large and well equipped. We liked to eat on the large terrace and drank coffee on the additional, also large balcony. Terrace and balcony are exclusively for the apartment and equipped with sufficient sun protection, which also offers privacy. The apartment is in a great location. It's only a 3-minute walk to the beach. There you will also find plenty of opportunities to eat or drink coffee. The supermarket is also very close by foot. There are also countless smaller supermarkets, bakeries and other shops in the neighborhood. Everything is accessible without a car. Walking to the old town takes about 20 minutes. We often took the bus (5 min).
