Holiday houses in Akoumia

Our time at Dafni's house was wonderful and we would have loved to spend more time there. It was one of the best AirBnBs we have ever stayed in. The house is far away from all the hustle and bustle on a hillside with a spectacular view of the sea. You can even see the sea from your bed. The beach is only a few minutes away by car. We were there on our own, no one else was there but us, it was wonderful. If you are searching for a place to calm down and relax, this is your place to be. Dafni and her family are one of the kindest hosts we ever had. We locked ourselves out of the house on the very first day. We wrote to Dafni, she replied immediately, and her father came all the way from another place by car to help us get back into the house. The house itself has everything you need for a vacation. The kitchen was well equipped, some things were brand new and everything was very clean. We will definitely be back on our next trip to Crete. PS: We were huge fans of the cats.

We loved our week in Eleftheria and Manolis’s hillside home. Our every need was catered for: we were given a warm welcome with delicious evening meal and other goodies; Eleftheria was full of helpful recommendations of places to eat; the bed was comfortable and the kitchen well-equipped; and the beautiful terrace and refreshing little pool - from which we could look down onto the Libyan Sea - beckoned each time we returned from our adventures around the coast and mountains. Terracotta pots brimming with geraniums and basil, and olive trees around our borders, made it a very special place to relax, though the setting is what made it stand out: we had complete privacy and utter peace (we heard only goats, sheep and the occasional distant dog). And the sunsets will stay with us for a very long time. Thank you Eleftheria and Manolis

The house is truly something special. The interior and design of the house is super tasteful and combines traditional Crete with modern elements. Everything in the house was spotless and brand-new. The view from the terrace was breathtaking and the courtyard was very cosy. We can only recommend this gem of house at Crete. The location is a little remote but perfect to relax and enjoy Crete off the beaten paths. We hope we will come back. Also the village where the house is located is so picturesque. Amazing local tavern with great authentic food are in walking distance.

Lovely private place with terrace. Spotless clean and fully equipped kitchen. Maria is simply an amazing host!

Very comfortable, clean and well appointed. We had a small issue with the washer and it was taken care of right away. Excellent service. Highly recommend! The property is located directly next to a quiet little cafe. We heard a little bit of chatter but it wasn’t an issue.

A beautiful place, very clean and Panos is a very nice host! Everything was exactly as described, the kitchen super equipped. You almost always hear the bells or the mowing of the sheep. The place is about 15min drive from the next larger road, we were still out every day. It was only 2 minutes by car to the small Triopetra beach. The next tavernas weren't open yet, but Panos still had great recommendations for us.

The host is very welcoming and the house is fully equipped and convenient, recommended.

Our discovery in Akoumia of a great Greco-Cretan family moved us. These are Dimitra and Costas. The reception was beyond our expectations. We found a place with everything you needed 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.
