Villa holiday rentals in Achlia

One of the best stays in airbnb over the years. Perfect place for staying with kids, lots of toys and everything. Our 3 year old son was really enjoyed. Giannis and Mara were really helpful about everything. They booked us transfer from airport for late night arrival and booked us a rental car for the next morning which we picked up at the door of the villa! This was one of the easiest and convenient option. I left my sunglasses at the rental car, they found it and will send me by shipping. Best hosts and best place to stay! Hope to meet you again.

Nous nous sommes très bien sentis dans cet environnement, magnifique et très paisible et très calme. Vraiment très bien et c’est vraiment ce que vous cherchions. Sur place il y a un restaurant, avec bien sûr, les spécialités crétoise ,il y a une piscine magnifique, et plein de promenade à pied. La Mer est à 20 km . Il faut un peu de temps pour y aller car la route à pas mal de virages, mais nous traversons des paysages magnifiques avec des champs de l’olivier à perte de vue Le logement très raffiné et la décoration est magnifique. Bref donc nous avons passé cinq jours vraiment très très agréable.

Wir hatten einen wunderbaren Aufenthalt! Die Unterkunft war sehr schön und mit allem ausgestattet, was man braucht. Die Lage ist top – ruhig und privat, und trotzdem sind Restaurants, Einkaufsmöglichkeiten und der Strand bequem zu Fuß erreichbar. Die Kommunikation mit Pantelis war reibungslos und sehr angenehm. Er hat uns herzlich empfangen, uns tolle Tipps gegeben und sogar ein paar Getränke sowie frisches Obst bereitgestellt. Auf unsere Bitte hin, das Poollicht länger anzulassen, wurde direkt reagiert. Einziger kleiner Minuspunkt: Es gab recht viele Insekten, auch vereinzelte tote Insekten in der Wohnung, was in dieser Gegend aber nicht ungewöhnlich ist. Mit Sprays aus dem Supermarkt ließ sich das Problem aber gut in den Griff bekommen. Also konnte man problemlos drüber hinwegschauen. Insgesamt können wir die Unterkunft absolut weiterempfehlen – wir würden jederzeit wiederkommen!

Fantastic stay at this wonderful village house in beautiful peaceful Milatos, we cannot recommend this accommodation highly enough, exactly as pictured and described , host was amazing as was the delicious meal she left for our first night! Great amenities within house too. Great location to drive through mountains to elounda and agios Nikoliaos , we went straight south to beaches there too. All the restaurants on the front were amazing bar with no name fab through to Socrates so friendly and cheap €45 for two with wine . Old neighbour we sat and had a beer with although dialect was limited. Thank you again we will be back and telling everyone to come 🥰

Had a wonderful stay here with our 2 year old. The villa was absolutely gorgeous with amazing views, especially upstairs. Pool was absolutely lovely. Hosts were really helpful and had great local recommendations.

Das Haus ist völlig neu und die Einrichtung modern und hochwertig und entspricht den Fotos. Es liegt ruhig am Rande des Ortes oberhalb des Dorfes und hat eine sehr schöne Aussicht über die Ebene bis hin nach Sitia und zum Meer in der Ferne. Die Kommunikation mit Pantelis war sehr gut. Vor Ort war die Betreuung durch Thasos und seine Frau Maria (die Besitzer des Hauses) super. Wir wurden mit einer umfangreichen Lebensmittelausstattung versorgt und mit selbstgemachten Gebäck verwöhnt. Das Haus ließ sich gut heizen, da wir leider ein paar kühle und regnerische Tage erwischt hatten. Ein guter Standort, um den Osten Kretas zu erkunden.

Met een groep van 9 vrienden een fantastisch verblijf gehad. Het huis was prachtig en de tuin met zwembad ook ook. Ook erg aardig dat we bij het uitchecken nog konden verblijven in een ander resort van manolis voordat we naar het vliegveld moesten. Dankjewel namens alle boys!

We stayed two nights at the villa and wished we could’ve booked it for more. As a superhost myself with over 500+ Five Star Reviews I can tell you that this place is really great! It had all the amenities, is furnished beautifully, everything is new construction and not run down, spotless & clean, the arrival waters and fruits were awesome, host and cleaning staff were both super friendly and the private pool is just perfect to cool off in !! Would recommend this villa to anyone from a romantic getaway to a small family. 10/10 and will be staying again on our next trip!!

We had the best time! Maria was so friendly and everything was perfect. We were even invited to eat dinner with them and had a blast. We were 14 people and we had plent of space for us all. It was clean and we even got new towels in the middle of the week which we did not expect. Would absolutely recommend staying there.

Me and my family had a great week at Villa Aires. The house is very special - set on a mountain side with incredible views up and down the valley. The sunsets each evening were perfectly framed by the landscape and some of the most beautiful we have seen. We hired a vehicle for the duration of the holiday and I would say this is essential for a holiday here - the price you pay for the stunning surroundings is that the house is quite remote, only the local village is walkable (charming but just a couple of restaurants and a small shop on offer). A car also gives you the opportunity to explore this area of Crete which has lots to offer with beaches, history, markets, harbours, beautiful towns. As long as you’re happy with the location, this villa is a no brainer. We would stay again without hesitation!

Die Unterkunft war mehr als traumhaft wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt. Der Pool ist sehr sauber genauso wie die gesamte Unterkunft und die Außenanlagen. Die Kommunikation war perfekt und sehr zuvorkommend und freundlich. Wir wurden zudem von Lisas Mutter sehr herzlich empfangen. Ein wunderschöner Urlaub in einer wunderschönen Unterkunft mit sehr freundlichen Vermietern!

La villa était superbe, décorée avec beaucoup de goût ! Le linge de lit et serviettes étaient impeccable de très bonne qualité : Guy Laroche. La cuisine était assez bien équipée : nous avons eu pendant quelques jours un chef cuisinier sous la recommandation de Stefani et c’était juste incroyablement bon et belle découverte. Le petit village à côté est très mignon et non loin de la villa : ce qui était pratique. La villa est idéalement bien située. Nous pensions que la villa était dans un endroit un peu « seule » mais ce n’était pas totalement le cas; ce qui nous a fait un peu peur au début et finalement c’était très calme, agréable. Chez Antonis et Stefani nous nous sentons vraiment comme à la maison : c’était très propre à notre arrivée. Stefani nous a accueilli chaleureusement, elle a été une hôte très réactive et répondant de façon très efficace dès que nous avions une question ou un petit problème. Elle est souriante c’est fort agréable. Nous recommandons leur villa.

Amazing villa. Absolutely beautiful. Well equipped. Beds very comfortable. Beautiful bedding and towels. Toiletries. Welcome hamper. We will definitely return. 4 fantastic restaurants within 5min walk. Quiet. BBQ at villa to use. Lovely loungers. Manolis and his wife fantastic hosts. Nothing was too much trouble. Easy to contact. We highly recommend the villa and location. Thank you for such an amazing visit

We had a wonderful holiday. The villa is lovely and was perfect for a big family. Audrey is a great host who was so helpful throughout but especially with the challenges of the late arrival and checkout. Location is great and facilities were also great and exceeded expectations. A special mention for Wayne (the handyman), he took care of the garden, pool etc and is a bit of a legend👏. We would definitely look to book here again.

We had a wonderful stay, and Manolis made everything so easy upon our arrival. We’ll be recommending the villa as it is ideally located and easily accessible from the main roads. Our stay in Crete was perfect in every way from the warm welcome to the outstanding hospitality and, of course, the delicious food!

Alexis and Nina’s home was one of perfection, beauty, and charm! From the second you walk in, you’re captivated by the extremely well-constructed villa’s character. The three apartment living spaces meet every need, every detail is well thought out, and every special touch makes for the perfect stay! Amazing views, lovely gathering spaces, and true luxury abound throughout. Alexis and Nina went above and beyond to host our group, personally demonstrating Greek hospitality and love of family. From the special selection left for us upon arrival, to the incredible treats given to us at our departure…they made for a truly unforgettable stay. We stay in AirBnBs all over the world, and this villa tops them ALL! It was complete perfection in every way, and we are so thankful for the wonderful memories of this beautiful experience that we’ll carry home with us.

Nous avons passé un très bon séjour chez Despoina et Nikos . La vue, la piscine à débordement, la plage privée tout était parfait ! Merci à nos hôtes pour leur gentillesse et toutes leurs attentions (huile d’olive, petits gâteaux grecs )… Ce coin de l’île est beaucoup plus tranquille et moins surpeuplé que dans le nord et très pratique pour visiter certains lieux touristiques ( Agios Nikolaos, l’île de Spinalonga, Mochlos super joli village, Makris Gialos…). Nous apprécions également de rester profiter de la piscine et de la plage privée ! Nous reviendrons avec plaisir et surtout nous communiquerons l’adresse à nos amis. On vous dit à bientôt.

Unsere Woche in der Unterkunft war einfach traumhaft. Die Unterkunft entspricht den Fotos in vollem Umfang. Die Ausstattung ist top und der Blick aus den oberen Schlafzimmern ist herrlich. Man kann auch über einen kleinen Pfad zur Bucht unten gelangen. Claudia war eine tolle Ansprechpartnerin, antwortet schnell und hat uns im ihren Tipps einen tollen Aufenthalt ermöglicht. Sie hat auch Restaurants für uns reserviert. Die Unterkunft ist eine 10/10 und wir (7 Mädels) können sie voll weiterempfehlen.

Extrem schnelle Reaktion auf unsere Fragen/Anliegen. Sauber, sehr freundliche Betreuung, alles da was man braucht. Gute Bausubstanz.

We had a wonderful time. The villa felt private even though there are two other villas next door. My friends and I loved the pool and how spacious the whole place was. We had stunning views of the nearby sea and town. Each bedroom has it's own bathroom. The only negative was the water pressure in the upstairs showers. Nota was very accommodating. She offered to clean the apartment during our stay and helped us arrange our hire cars. (From my group's experience, a car is highly recommended as taxis and public transport weren't great). The village, beaches and restaurants in the area were also great. Overall, my friends and I were very happy with our stay and would definitely come back.

When you're looking for a quite place with privacy than this the place you are looking for. Surrounded by olive trees, close (but not too close) to the village and the sea side. A lovely villa with a nice (and very clean) pool that gives refreshment in the hot summer time. The villa is well equipped. Tips about the region come from Manos ... but we have to admit that we've had some lazy days in Zakros and did not visit all what Manos proposed :-). We've went to a few beaches but for us Kato Zakros (only 12 minutes drive -- lovely views by the way) was the ideal place. Not too busy and really nice restaurants on the beach. 100% chill.

We had a great stay! The location was perfect – very quiet, yet ideal for exploring the island. Everything was clean and exactly like in the photos. Communication was flawless, they responded immediately and were very helpful. I would definitely recommend this place to my friends and family!

wir haben uns mit der ganzen Familie sehr wohl gefühlt. es war ein sehr freundliches Willlkommenheißen, für die Kinder gab es viele tolle Spielmöglichkeiten neben dem Pool. alles war sehr sauber und ordentlich. Giannis war sehr hilfsbereit.

We had a wonderful 5-day vacation at the villa. The property was stunning! It was tastefully designed, offering full privacy, and was super clean. We used the brick oven to make pizza and also enjoyed the pool. Everything was just as it looked in the pictures, and the villa was equipped with everything we needed. Pandelis, the owner, was very responsive to all of our requests and questions. I highly recommend this place!
