Holiday rentals with a pool in Anissaras

We enjoyed a fantastic four days in Aris’ place, the views of the plateau and mountains are just beautiful! We felt right at home, and it was lovely to have Aris and his wife physically there at check in, a rarity these days! The images really don’t do this place justice, it is up some winding roads but we were prepared for that having visited the plateau in 2012. We can’t recommend staying here more, we really wish we’d have booked a longer stay! Aris had a fantastic hire car recommendation too, which was also great, and we had some amazing recommendations from them too. Thank you very much Aris!

We can highly recommend this accommodation. It's tucked away in a very secluded spot, which makes it wonderfully peaceful. At the same time, you can reach restaurants and a mini market in just a few minutes. A car is essential! The garden is stunning. The biodiversity is incredible. There's always something new to discover. The house is quite small and simply furnished, but that was absolutely fine. Everything was clean, and that's what matters most. The long driveway leading to the house can be a bit intimidating—it just slopes down without any railing or guard. But that’s just part of the Cretan charm. Giannis was always very friendly and helpful—thank you for everything! We also got to know the neighboring family and even visited them. Such kind people. And the animals! Aphroditi the horse, a peacock, chickens, and turkeys—our daughter loved them. Overall a great experience. We were very happy and would definitely recommend it. Who knows—maybe we’ll be back in a few years!

Ons verblijf bij Alexis en Nina was werkelijk fantastisch en overtrof al onze verwachtingen. Vanaf het eerste moment voelden we ons ontzettend welkom: we werden hartelijk ontvangen met een kopje koffie, iets lekkers en een warm welkom vol enthousiasme. Alexis en Nina namen uitgebreid de tijd om ons te voorzien van waardevolle tips over de omgeving, wat ons verblijf nog aangenamer maakte. De accommodatie zelf is prachtig – stijlvol ingericht, brandschoon en van alle gemakken voorzien. Alles wat we nodig hadden, was aanwezig, en het voelde meteen als een comfortabel thuis ver van huis. Wanneer we vragen hadden, stonden Alexis en Nina altijd voor ons klaar met snelle en vriendelijke hulp. Dankzij hun aanbeveling huurden we een auto en genoten we van twee geweldige dagen waarin we de omgeving op eigen tempo konden verkennen. Hun lokale kennis en betrokkenheid hebben onze reis echt verrijkt. Kortom: een heerlijke plek met geweldige hosts, we kijken met veel plezier terug op deze ervaring

This property is on the top of our list of all of the Super-host level properties we’ve been at whether Air B&B or any other platform. Premium quality and high marks for design aesthetics promoting maximum relaxation inside or in the yard with breathtaking views all day long and spectacular sunsets. All meals at the property must be had out doors! It was a perfect retreat after long days of sightseeing. We would rent it again in a heartbeat and will recommend it to family. John & Autumn

we had a fantastic week at this villa it was a beautiful villa and area Geirge was very friendly helpful

Le logement était impeccable, propre et bien rangé. Pamela nous a accueillie pour notre court séjour à Heraklion. Nous y étions bien installés, à une quinzaine de minutes en voiture du centre de la ville et à 10min de l’aéroport ce qui a facilité l’organisation de notre fin de séjour.

Es war ein sehr sehr schöner Urlaub, wir konnten uns in dem schönen Haus super erholen die Aussicht war atemberaubend. Wenn wir Hilfe benötigten war immer jemand zu erreichen. Antworten kamen immer sehr schnell. Vielen Dank und wir kommen gerne wieder.☺️

Ein absolut perfekter Aufenthalt! Die Villa war wunderschön, sehr stilvoll eingerichtet und makellos sauber. Es war wirklich an alles gedacht: Kaffee, Tee, Zucker, Gewürze, zwei Kaffeemaschinen, Teekocher, Mikrowelle, Backofen, Herd, großer Kühlschrank, Gefrierschrank mit Eiswürfeln und vollständiges Küchenequipment – es fehlte absolut nichts. Der Pool war blitzsauber 🏊, die Grillstation perfekt ausgestattet 🔥. Besonders die traumhafte Aussicht auf das Meer 🌊 war ein echtes Highlight und sorgte für entspannte Momente. Auch Klimaanlagen in jedem Raum ❄️, moderner Fernseher 📺 und stabiles, schnelles Internet – alles funktionierte reibungslos. Wir haben uns rundum wohlgefühlt, mussten uns um nichts kümmern und konnten die Zeit einfach nur genießen 😌. Der Gastgeber hat alles mit viel Liebe zum Detail vorbereitet – von der Ausstattung bis zur Sauberkeit. Wir sind sehr dankbar für diese wundervolle Erfahrung und kommen definitiv wieder! Absolute Empfehlung – 10 von 10! 🌟

An outstanding location in a beautiful development. A beach with crystal clear waters, and a beautiful pool. This is a perfect home for either two small families, or a larger family with "in-law" space. The balcony views are spectacular.

Great room if you have children. Right next to the pool and a yard right outside your door

Smaller than the space appears to be in the photos but clean and well appointed. Danielle, our host, was helpful, a great communicator, and accessible. Great to be able to communicate easily when out of country. The pool is small, good for refreshing only. Be prepared for 3 flights of steep stairs to gain entry.

This was the second year running that we stayed at this apartment(4 weeks this time), and it was just as good as last year. We booked 10 months in advance and was in contact with Michalis 3 or 4 times during the year. Just before we arrived we requested that some provisions were available as we had a very late flight and Michalis provided water, milk, fruit and even some raki with honey! (nice welcome). As usual the apartment was well stocked with kitchen utensils, bed linen and towels; plus a new digital washing machine (quick wash 15 mins! ) The pool is a big bonus if you don't fancy the 20-25 min walk down to Hersonissos. Lots of bars and restaurants in the nearby villages of Piskopiano and Koutoufoulari. Car hire is also available. Already thinking of returning next year.

Irene has a nice, small appartment building. The pool is great, and the terrace and balcony were both nice. You can hear the planes, but you can't want to be 10 min from the airport and NOT hear them! It really didn't bother us at all, inside. Otherwise, quiet surroundings, easy drive to the city, close to the aquarium, which was lovely. I only wish there had been some soap and shampoo in the bathroom. We enjoyed our 3 night stay before flying out. The groundskeeper is smiley and helpful, also.

Wij hadden het middelste appartement naast het zwembad, en dus ideaal om te gaan zwemmen. Het appartement is rustig gelegen, ruim en netjes enkel de keuken is een beetje een smalle doorgang voor 2 personen. het appartement heeft alles wat je nodig hebt. De terras is voor 4 personen wel aan de kleine kant mr heeft dan wel een geweldig uitzicht op de baai. De wasmachine staat wel in een aparte ruimte mr was steeds beschikbaar. Het zwembad met ( snack) bar is een groot pluspunt, het water is zalig, altijd stoelen beschikbaar en heel gezellig zitten. Er is ook steeds parking beschikbaar. Voor de kinderen is het aangenaam vertoeven op het domein : basketten, biljart, speelgoed... Heel dichtbij is een grote supermarkt en het levendig centrum van chersonissos. Ook ideaal voor uitstappen. Het appartement werd ook regelmatig schoongemaakt en de lakens en handdoeken werden ververst.

We had a lovely stay. The apartment is well equipped, walkable from old town and beach. Totally recommend!

Great family-run place in Crete. The food at the taverna is AMAZING, and there’s always a daily special which was the highlight of the menu. Huge apartment, ocean views, easy access to drive to several beaches in the area.

We had a lovely 2 week stay at the villa. The view and facilities were outstanding. The hosts were super friendly and very helpful. I would recommend the villa to all families and groups. We were supplied with everything we needed including cots and child safety gates. Thank you for making our stay so relaxing and checking whether we needed anything.

Wer einen ruhigen Ort zum abschalten sucht, ist hier absolut richtig! Der Ausblick von der Unterkunft über die Weinberge und Olivenhaine ist atemberaubend schön und das erste, auf das ich mich morgens gefreut habe. Es gibt nichts, was dich hier stört! Die Unterkunft ist hochwertig ausgestattet, sehr sauber, hat eine lautlose Klimaanlage in jedem Wohnraum, tolle Betten - wirklich absolut toll!! Es gibt 2 kleine Supermärkte und soweit ich sehen konnte 2 Gaststätten und ein Café in direkter Umgebung des Hauses. Wir selbst waren im Ort abends nur 1 Mal essen und sind ansonsten immer mit dem Mietwagen unterwegs gewesen, weil wir dort mehr Sehenswertes für uns fanden. Einen Mietwagen würde ich auch dringend empfehlen um mobil zu sein. Vielen Dank, Christina, für diesen schönen Urlaub in deinem tollen Haus! ❤️

Wir haben uns in der Wohnung von Manolis sehr wohl gefühlt. :o) Sie ist geschmackvoll eingerichtet und die Küche ist umfassend ausgestattet. Zu Fuß kann man den kleinen Ortskern erreichen, wo es viele Restaurants gibt. Abgesehen davon hat Manolis auch schöne Tipps in der Umgebung. Wir haben uns rundum wohl gefühlt und können die schöne Unterkunft nur empfehlen. Vielen Dank, lieber Manolis.

Charming place! Aristeidis and his wife Marina are very polite, attentive and hospitality people! During all our rest they were ready to answer any our questions and give advice and help! The villa is very beautiful and comfortable! It is well equipped with different devices! From the second there is charming view all around! The private swimming pool was very clean and gave us possibility to enjoy private rest! The size of the pool is enough even for the big company! Sakalani is very cosy village with beautiful delicious taverns! There are many different olive and grape farms near the village! The villa is situated only 10 minutes from Heraclion! Definitely I and my family are very thankful to Aristeidis for our wonderful rest and time that we spent on his Vila! I strongly recommend this place for the vacations on Crete!

We had an amazing stay here, 6 adults and 2 babies. The villa is beautiful and we really appreciated the separate baby pool and children's toys, as well as being provided with a travel cot and high chairs for both babies. Eleni was a great host, she was very responsive and organised a cleaner to come half way through the stay which was great. The location is good as it isn't in the main town. It is a 10-15 minute walk to the restaurants and bars in Piskopiano and Koutouloufari, the first 5 minutes of the walk is uphill. We hope to return next year!
