Villa vacation rentals in Decentralized Administration of Crete

We spent just under a week in this really great house. The small village is very sweet, small taverns within walking distance and the surroundings offer many experiences. For us as a 6-person family, there was plenty of space and we enjoyed the heated pool at the end of October. The cost of 50 euros per day for this is already steep - but for us, three heating days were enough to keep the water warm for 6 days … But then you have to consistently cover the pool when you are not in the water, which makes sense for ecological reasons … absolutely recommended!!

Great house, had everything, even a ping-pong table fully equipped Delightful pool Extremely quiet neighborhood with very nice surroundings and very close to mini markets and taverns At the same time, it is an ideal spot for someone to get to know all the beauties of Rethymno in all directions I would really like to vacation every year in similar homes and such beautiful areas

Our stay at this amazing villa was simply perfect! Both the interior and exterior areas were beautifully designed, everything in impeccable condition and with a lot of attention to detail. The villa was spotlessly clean and had everything we needed – the kitchen was fully equipped, and all the essentials were provided for a relaxing vacation. The layout of the villa was particularly impressive: Even with 8 people, everyone could find their own space to retreat and relax. You arrive and immediately feel like you’re in your own little village. The hosts welcomed us with thoughtful gifts such as bread, cold cuts, fresh fruit, water, wine, and beer – such a lovely gesture! The Wi-Fi worked flawlessly, at all times and in every part of the villa. Communication with the hosts was smooth, and we felt completely at home. We spent 10 wonderful days here with 8 people and would absolutely book the villa again. Highly recommended!

Villa Velagio Is clean modern well equipped for two or four people. Not isolated but in a rural setting not overlooked . The private pool and terris give you views across hills to the mountains and though the valley to the sea. To pool is perfect for adults to plunge and cool down. Too deep for non swimming children (IMO). Being on the edge of plakias , means you have close access (by car) to 5 sandy beaches in five or ten minutes. Some are Naturists , most are textile, so everyone should be happy. In land there are natural geological features , birds and plants to explore. There are many beach side and mountain Taverna so you will not go hungry. The villa has washing machine, dishwasher, oven, hob and the all important Nespresso machine. Linen is clean , towels are plentiful and the air conditioning works perfectly. There is one shower and loo. If we could , we might never have gone home, this is a lovely lovely place.

Absolutely amazing place. The view is breathtaking, you can’t get enough of it and there are two large terraces to enjoy it from. The swimming pool is a nice touch too, small but the same time big enough to cool down and sunbathe next to it if you don’t feel like going to the beach. Super easy and friendly interactions with Manos and the rest of the team. Warm welcome and attention all the way through the stay. There were a lot of little, but important details that we really appreciated, such as: bottled water, some juices and fruits that were waiting for us in the fridge, as well as some local snacks and olive oil. On my birthday, a lovely greeting card and a bottle of Ouzo appeared in our villa which was also an unexpected but an excellent gesture. Everyone was really friendly and we felt truly welcomed. Many thanks to all! Although it’s only 3.5 km away from The center of Plakias, I’d definitely recommend hiring a car, as the villa is up on the hill, hence the stunning view.

We LOVED everything about this house! The house is beautiful, clean and equipped with everything you need. Eleni and Georgios are very friendly, welcoming and attentive to detail. The house is located in a great location. It's situated in a quiet neighborhood and is walking distance to one of the prettiest beaches on the island and several restaurants and shops. There is also a great grocery store just down the road. And the views! There are views from every room! The hike on the east side of the beach is spectacular with beautiful flowers and plant life and views of the water and distant mountains. Eleni and Georgios, thank you for everything! We hope that we can come back one day.

This home was amazing. The pictures are accurate. It’s about 20 minutes (or so) to some great beaches and a 2 minute walk to a great taverna. For me, the best asset was that almost every available outside wall was either a huge window or a sliding door, that let in the light, breeze and sound of the ocean. My one suggestion would be that if you’re planning on cooking or using the kitchen, bring your food along. From a shopping perspective, the nearest mini market is not that close. This is a beautiful spot worth enjoying.

The house has been fully redecorated to a high modern day standard. It's spacious and very private, also thanks to the walled inner garden with swimming pool, and possibilities to park two cars behind an electronically operated gate. The house is clean and the beds very comfortable. Also ideal when traveling with two couples of which one has children, because one bedroom has a separate front door that is accessible from the garden (under the roof top terrace). A very nice local restaurant and a supermarket are within walking distance. I highly recommend staying here!

Really nice house in almost new condition. Nice area with beautiful beaches in walking distance and nice restaurants. Not touristy. Really enjoyed our stay and the service from Holiways.

The perfect villas for a big group, we loved both and had the most relaxing time around them. Location is close to all the local beaches and only a 10 minute taxi to Chania. Evi the host was excellent throughout our stay and made sure we had everything we needed at all times.

The Grand Luxe Villa was the perfect place to stay. The communication was great, even more so because they use a Whats App concierge service who answer any questions or doubts. The villa was spotless, has amazing amenities, had super comfortable beds, blackout blinds and the pool and hot tub were the highlight. It was also great to use the outside grill for a nice barbecue at sunset. There are nice restaurants and beaches around and lake kournas is only a few minutes by car with stunning views. We had a fabulous stay.

Lovely place for a larger group. Four bedrooms with their own bathrooms and small terraces also allowed for private time. Quiet location with amazing views. Several restaurants and two well-equipped grocery stores in walking distance. The kitchen had good equipment, which was suitable for cooking, both indoors and outdoors in the nice outdoor kitchen. The heated infinity pool offered both swimming and water activities. Lovely large terrace with sun loungers, sofa and parasols allowed for common chill. Also the playing field attracted to board games. The villa's location on a steep hillside allows for training. Recommend renting a car or scooters to get to different places. The host was on hand and reachable on short notice. Highly recommend Villa Eureka and would love to come there again.

We were eight women who spent a week at Villa Rodea. Had an amazing time, the view is wonderful and we had an uncomplicated care by the Komos team. We'll be back.

We were pleasantly surprised by the house. Beautiful spaces both outside and inside. Highly recommended. Also for our toddler everything was provided. The pool was on the fresh side but the weeks before it wouldn't have been very hot. Small tip to the host: extra kitchen equipment is allowed (more towels, look press, pads for the table, candlesticks, ...) It was a nice holiday and we were spoiled by a local catering company that Audrey recommended to us.

Memorable stay at Villa Celestia. We needed a quiet and relaxing break for our family and the villa exceeded all our expectations. Wonderful with a fantastic view, the villa is thoughtfully designed with a well catered for kitchen and dining areas inside and out. Although it was April, we managed to enjoy the pool, and relaxing on the loungers, which was framed by the gorgeous view of the bay. We easily travelled around the north and central parts of the island, and followed a few of stamatis’ recommendations - thank you! We even rented a car via his company Eurocars, which was very good. A truly memorable stay in Crete. Wholeheartedly recommend!

Our stay was incredible! Nikos and his team worked tirelessly to make sure we had a great stay. They organized our transportation and even delivered rental cars to the house for us. I would highly recommend staying here!

This architecturally designed modern new home might just be one of the most beautiful places that we have ever stayed at. The open concept, spectacular pool and separate shallow pool for younger children are absolutely magnificent. The ensuite washrooms are just beautiful, each room designed differently and the kitchen is a chef's dream. Location is very quiet and close to shopping. The host is extremly responsive and I would highly recommend this property.

Villa Arietta is a dream house. Located in the beautiful hills just outside Kissamos, 10 mins by car from the sea. The house is marvelous and has all the comforts you need to enjoy a perfect holiday. We were two couples with one toddler and a baby and both indoor and outdoor spaces were perfect for our needs. Also, thoughtful little touches like a welcome hamper with local products, and numerous amazing toys for the kids to use in the garden. Arietta and her husband have been extremely helpful and accommodating throughout, and communication has always been quick and proactive. We loved our stay and we really hope to come back again. Definitely recommended, one of the best places we’ve been to!

A big thank you, everything was perfect: the place, the view, the calm, the host, the kitchen, the bedding, everything. Honestly, the first time an experience is impeccable from start to finish with 0 things to repeat. Thank you 🇬🇷

An amazing week for our family (2 adults, 2 children 6 and 4)! Super view, well equipped house, friendly host! Just perfect.

Excellent location, and the villa was very spacious and quiet. Maria was excellent with great recommendations and always available to help. :)

This place is amazing! Beautiful and very peaceful. Looks exactly like the photos. Kostantinos was an amazing host. He walked us through at check-in and showed us everything.

I can’t thank Antonio, Yiannis & the Sueno team for such a great stay. Nothing was too much to ask and they were all available to help throughout my short stay. The villa is stunning with lots of lovely touches such as robe, slippers, shampoo & conditioner and even a welcome hamper! Thanks again for a wonderful stay and for being amazing hosts.

An amazing house with a very helpful and responsive host. Would stay again.
