Pet-friendly holiday rentals in Almyrida

Thank you to Matthew and the team for such a lovely stay. Matthew went above and beyond for the duration of our visit, even giving us a lift to the local winery. The villa was exactly as pictured and beautifully maintained. The host welcomed us with pastries and local delicacies, which were even topped up during our stay when the villa was serviced. Whilst in a peaceful and quaint location, a car is necessary to explore the island and all it has to offer. Public transport does exist but is infrequent and not always easy to understand. Definitely worth a trip to the traditional bakery located a few minutes walk from the villa. Although we had a fantastic time in the hot tub and pool, the hot tub could definitely have been hotter. Overall all I would recommend this to everyone, and we will certainly be returning to Doro Gold Villa! Thanks again! Emma and friends

Beautiful, clean, and very responsive. The stay was as advertised. This home is well maintained, comfortable , and close to everything.

Is was a very nice pleace. We loved it!!

The location is stunning. Right on the beach with gorgeous views from the living room and bedrooms!

The hosts were incredibly kind and welcoming. The place was super clean and everything well maintained. Just felt right at home with an amazing view, great beds and a beautiful atmosphere. Highly recommend!

Anemole is a very special place! It is a beautiful house in a stunning location. It is close to Chania and beaches galore, if that’s what you want. Or you can simply relax and soak up the views and the abundant nature. We spent happy hours on the terrace listening to the birdsong, bee hum, goat bells and church bells. A highlight was watching a lesser kestrel preen on the wires 20m from the terrace. The house has a rustic charm but has all the necessary modern conveniences - wifi, ac, big wetroom style bathroom. The private pool was a bonus for a refreshing dip. Special mention to the lovely Stelios who gave us such a warm welcome despite our delayed arrival (George’s prompt communication meant the flight delay was merely a hitch, not a calamity!). Stelios had treats in the fridge waiting for us and introduced us to the neighbouring cats (who visited us every evening on the terrace for headbutts and chin scritches). We are already planning our return trip!

We had a fantastic stay in Michalis's lovely corner suite. It was cozy, unique, and had everything we needed, plus nice extras like a washer, a second bathroom and street parking (just do an extra lap around the block). The location was ideal, with traditional windows opening to a garden and ruins, and it was a short walk to everything while being away from the Old City crowds. Michalis was an amazing host—very responsive, provided great local tips, and even took time to offer us coffee and chat. He’s definitely one of the best hosts I've ever met. I highly recommend this place and a stay with Michalis!!

Dimi’s place offered the best base for our holiday which was to relax, admire the sea and the mountains and local villages. Great location to reach both directions Chania and Rethymno, south coast. Very quiet and peaceful surroundings. We loved each day of our stay!

Wonderful Experience at the Villa Elias! Our stay at the villa was perfect. The sea view was breathtaking, especially during sunset – a true sense of calm, quiet, and complete privacy. Choosing this villa was an excellent decision, especially because of the heated pool, which the kids absolutely loved. They enjoyed both swimming and playing in the spacious garden. The villa is well-equipped, with many useful items that made our stay very comfortable, including an air pump for pool toys. The location is also great – close to shops, supermarkets, and pharmacies. Highly recommended for families looking for a peaceful and convenient holiday with children. Wissam,

Four friends and I stayed in this rustic, charming, beautiful and overall homie space for 7 days while we attending a wedding and we all unanimously could not have been more happy! This is a space that you feel so great walking into over and over. I had the best meal of my life with the entire party literally around the corner… maybe 20 steps and we were all in glee. The entire area in old town is gorgeous. You cannot see it any other way. There is a vibe to match your needs somewhere around another corner no matter what you look for on your trip. Shopping was excellent. The feeling of safety was consistent throughout the trip. People are friendly and common throughout the town even throughout the wee morning hours as many places do stay open quite late to always provide an option. I had said by day 1 I knew I would already come back here. Vassilis was a proactive and responsive gentleman in hosting. Truly a pleasure to deal with him and I really do hope to return for vacation. Thanks!

Fantastic villa, beautiful rooms & pool area and wonderful and attentive hosts! We had a great time start to finish, and the villa was in a fantastic spot, and couldn’t recommend more! We had a slight issue with the internet being slow so that would be the only thing to bear in mind when booking if you work remote/ need wifi often, the only place we could get connection was the cellar, so I think a couple wifi repeaters would go a long way!

Anyone who has gone on family holidays with their parents in the 90s and the next, and remembers them with nostalgia, stay here... It brought back memories of my childhood holidays. Very beautiful and simple space, with the hammocks in each apartment, the sun in the morning as it hit the grass, the smell of the morning watering, the seagulls that can be heard from afar and the whole setup made me think about it for every summer season, even a 3-day stay with my family... The apartment has the basics, and anything one thinks they will need extra, I think the host, who is excellent in terms of communication, will provide it! Thanks so much!

Nice place with lakeside view. Many ootions foe breakfast and dinner in the village (only a five minute deive away).

We had an amazing stay at Villa Manos 1 in the end of april 2025. We only found out a couple of days before going, that the pool season at the house normally starts in May (this was our own fault). The owner Manos was very kind to start the pool early for us. When we arrived he was there to greet us at the house, and incredibly kind and helpful. A couple of days after our arrival, new madresses for the beds arrived, and these were very good. Manos was very helpful with advice for the area, and on easter his mother Katerina had bought easter eggs for our children. Manos is a very kind person, and when turned out our 4 year old son had the chicken pox, he made us feel safe both with regards to maybe staying in the house, and getting medical help. All in all we felt very much at home and in very good hands, and we enjoyed the stay so much that we would consider going back.

Dear Kallopi, Michail and Dimitra, We had the most wonderful time during our stay! From the warm welcome to the thoughtful surprises — the delicious food and the homemade cake — everything made us feel incredibly special and at home. The house is absolutely charming, beautifully decorated with great attention to detail, and spotlessly clean. It truly exceeded all our expectations and offered the perfect atmosphere for a relaxing holiday. Thank you so much for your outstanding hospitality and kindness. We feel truly grateful for this unforgettable experience and hope to return someday

The house is simply gorgeous. Our family had a wonderful Christmas holiday here. The host was very generous with items in the refrigerator and a well stocked kitchen. Lots of recommendations of places to eat in the area. Michael met us in the driveway upon arrival and showed us everything in the house, that was very kind. Especially loved access to the washer and dryer because we were traveling with kids. It was too cold to use the pool, but if you are here when it is warm, it would be such delight.

Very Nice place, we enjoyed to stay here.

Words and photos cannot describe the beauty of this place. We had an absolutely magical visit. The home is comfortable and very clean and everything you need in the kitchen. Stella was the perfect host. She was so kind and thought of everything you might need. Make sure to follow her recommendations for restaurants as they were amazing. Thank you for the delicious homemade treats and a wonderful and relaxing vacation. We look forward to our return.

We spent the most lovely time at Nikos place with our baby and friends. The villa is located directly by the sea with a spectacular view. We enjoyed really enjoyed our breakfasts watching the waves and listening to the ocean so much. The place is very quiet and private. Nikos is the most welcoming host and gave us great directions for the island. We can definitely recommend staying there! Thank you so much for having us.

Beautiful location. Amazing views. Great host who was always quick to respond.

We stayed at this house for the second time. It is a very good equipped house that beautifully located very close to the beach

Anna is an incredibly kind and helpful host, and her lovely apartment is located walking distance to the beautiful old town. It was perfect for my short visit. :)

10/10 experience. Breathtaking views and sunset from the balcony, perfect location right on the harbor - surrounded by all of the best restaurants and places. The apartment is beautiful - clean, modern, great appliances. (The washing machine even uses AI). The apartment is spacious, comfortable, and despite being in the middle of the action, it is so peaceful. I didn’t want to leave. I will be back here again. The hosts were incredible. Kind, helpful, proactive, and made such a nice experience for us. Thank you!!!!!

We had a wonderful stay! The hosts were incredibly responsive and helpful throughout our trip, making everything so easy. The pool and the stunning view really made the whole experience unforgettable — it was the perfect place to relax. Just a heads-up: you’ll definitely want to rent a car if you’re planning to stay here, as it’s a bit out of the way and not many transport options are available unless you rely on taxis.
