Family-friendly holiday rentals in Gazi

We have just had the most gorgeous family holiday at Villa Belle Helene . It is the perfect villa equipped to the highest standards both inside and out and exceeded all our expectations. Inside is spacious and all the rooms have excellent air conditioning which was very welcome in the heat. We spent a lot of time enjoying the outdoor areas, especially the pool and jacuzzi which were perfect to cool down in the heat and to enjoy. The sheltered area outside the lounge is perfect for eating and BBQs and the raised outdoor seating area with TV provides the opportunity to unwind in an evening. It is 10 mins walk up to Old Hersonnissus which has a lovely square with Tavernas and bars. Hiring a car is worthwhile to explore the island further but not essential as its easy to book taxis. Eleni and her family are absolutely lovely, they could not be more helpful and made us so welcome. We would absolutely recommend this villa and would love to stay again if we go back to Crete.

We had a lovely time at Valia’s Kampos Villas. The location is stunning, overlooking endless vistas of olive tree groves. The villa was very spacious and the pool was perfect size for cooling off. The kitchen was well equipped and she treated us with some fruit, wine, and staples in our fridge. We would recommend Kampos Villas and stay here again if we are in the area again.

I already miss this house. It’s like a fairytale cottage. So many cute little spaces indoors and out. Character and charm! It’s old with stone steps and some low doorways, so don’t be clumsy. Our hosts were hospitable and kind. We felt right at home. There are many flowers, herbs and trees. Unforgettable.

Nous avons passé un excellent séjour ! Tout s'est très bien passé. Le logement était conforme à nos attentes : confortable, bien équipé. Un grand merci à Angelina et Céline pour leur disponibilité et leur gentillesse, aussi bien avant notre arrivée que pendant le séjour. Le seul petit bémol, que nous connaissions à l'avance, est l'emplacement un peu isolé qui nécessite d'être véhiculé. Heureusement un service de navette est proposé, ce qui est un vrai plus. Une adresse que nous gardons précieusement et que nous recommandons !

Superbe endroit avec une jolie décoration. Une terrasse pour se détendre et prendre ses repas à couper le souffle. Manolis et sa femme sont très charmant et d une extrême gentillesse. L hospitalité crétoise au rendez vous, nous avons eu droit à des légumes, du pain, confiture , miel, des petits mets préparés.... Je recommande fortement cette adresse lors d un passage dans la région.

Very high class Villa, if you are looking for quality accommodation then look no further. My family consisted of 7 adults and an 18 month old, stayed for 8 days. Everyone loved it. There is a great traditional taverna only 10 minutes walk away, a big supermarket 15 mins by car and great beach again just 15 mins by car. We were there in May, spend most of the time around the pool and firing up the fantastic BBQ!

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.

We had a great week of family at the Promachon Villa. The villa is very big and specious, highky maintained very well eqipped. Stella and her husband were really great hosts. They responded very fast to any request we had. The swimming pool is rather big and lovely. The house is located on an isolayed and quiet area 10-12 minutes drive from the city center. On behalf of all 13 members of the Zakay family I would like to thank you Stella for giving us such an incredible family vacation. We would really love to come back again. Ef christo Stella!🙂

nous avons passé une belle semaine dans le logement de Maria. La terrasse couverte est la plus belle pièce de la maison avec une vue magnifique sur la mer. La plage est à moins de 5 min à pied, par contre attention, pour les personnes qui ont des difficultés à marcher, la pente est plutôt raide à remonter. Maria est très réactive et répond très vite aux messages. agia pelagia reste une petite station balnéaire très bien situé pour visiter le Nord de l'île. Belle découverte

Nikos' place is incredible. It totally transports you to another time and lets you absorb the beauty of the Cretan landscape and nature. We noticed something new every day. Having the pool with stunning views of the mountains and sea, a well-equipped kitchen and an olive tree shaded seating area to eat in, meant we rarely had to leave the place! A holiday to remember forever for us. Thank you

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!

We had a great stay here. The apartment was super clean and was exactly as described. We had a rental car and were able to find some street parking close by. It was quiet at night and had no issues whatsoever. Highly recommend.

Das wunderschöne Haus liegt auf einer Anhöhe mit tollem Meerblick und ist auf 2 Ebenen errichtet und sehr gut in Schuss. Gleiches gilt für die gediegene Inneneinrichtung, da bleibt kein Wunsch offen. Das Gebäude ist von einem gepflegtem Garten umgeben, der mit seinen Beeten und Mäuerchen an einen kleinen Park erinnert. Unser Gastgeber Manos ist sehr freundlich, relaxt und hilfsbereit. Mit der Wahl dieser Destination kann man nichts falsch machen: 10 Minuten zum Flughafen , 2 Autominuten zum sehr schönen Sandstrand, 10 Minuten zu einem grossen Lebensmittelgeschäft, wo man alles erhält, - tolle Lage, was will man mehr? Gerne wieder und auf Bald, lieber Manos.

A nice, well furnished big apartment with comfortable rooms, large kitchen and living room, we felt like home immediately. We loved the huge balcony running on the two sides of the flat, you can enter it from one of the rooms and from the living room, and enjoy a nice view to the mountains. The kitchen is equipped very well, we could find everything what we needed to prepare some meals. The place is nice, the buses pass next to the building, so it's easy to get to the city. There are 3 supermarkets, a bakery and a butcher shop just 2 mins from the apartment. The beach is close too, 20 mins comfortable walk. The owners were responsive and so kind, when we arrived, we found bottles of water in the fridge 😊

Excellent séjour chez Myron qui nous a proposé de venir nous chercher à l’aéroport. En moins de 20 minutes, nous étions à destination avec en prime un accueil chaleureux et des informations très utiles. Le logement, en tous points conforme aux photos et à la description, est idéal pour deux, tout y est très bien pensé. Il est situé à 100 m de la plage et du Havana Beach Bar (qui propose des transats gratuits pour peu qu’on prenne une consommation et de bons plats faits maison) et de plusieurs tavernes offrant une cuisine traditionnelle Crétoise d’un excellent rapport qualité/prix. L’arrêt du bus pour Heraklion est à 200 m et vous y conduit en une trentaine de minutes selon la circulation, il y a aussi un bus express pour le Palais de Cnossos. Nous recommandons à 100%.

I enjoyed my stay at Christos's apartment. His son, Sotiris, was super-fast at answering my questions and offering helpful tips. The apartment was well-equipped, about a 15 minute walk to the center (museums and port), 5 minute walk to a great supermarket and inbetween two great places for coffee and baked goods.

Ein wunderschönes Haus mit einer Top-Lage direkt am Meer. Der Vermieter ist sehr engagiert und super freundlich. Wir kommen auf jeden Fall wieder.

As someone who’s constantly traveling for both work and leisure, it’s rare to come across a place where everything is so well thought out that there’s nothing to comment on, in the best way. This is genuinely one of my favorite stays. The location and views are magical and the attention to detail across the property is impressive. The pool and garden were always perfectly maintained and for a mountain spot, it’s not easy to find such clear, bug-free water. The team on site was great, always helpful without being intrusive. The food at the restaurant isn’t fancy but it’s honest, home-cooked, and made with care. Thank you for everything, I’d definitely come back and already started recommending it to friends.

We loved staying at Petros's place. The location is picture perfect and completely serene, coupled with the stunning views - perfect getaway gem. The villa is beautifully designed with lots of places to explore and hang out in. Petros is very accommodating and all around helpful from assisting us in setting up the outdoor speakers to offering to make restaurant reservations on our behalf. We had an absolutely amazing time and hope to stay at the villa again when we come back to Crete. Highly recommend!

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

We have enjoyed our stay , the host is very helpful , the room is clean , it looks exactly like the photos , the view is fabulous. You need a car to move around , go to the beach and visit the city. I recommend

The stay was good, private and secluded. All listed amenities were present. Pool and BBQ were crucial to us, also worth to mention: there is an A/C unit in each room. Wifi was perfectly stable. You can hear the road noises, but it is manageable, it didn't affect our experience.

Wir haben uns wohl gefühlt und wurden von George super freundlich empfangen und mit Reise- Restaurant Tipps durch den Urlaub begleitet, die Kommunikation fand sehr simpel, zuverlässig und zügig über w.a. statt, was wir als sehr angenehm empfanden. Wir haben hervorragende Restauranttipps von George erhalten! Unterkunft ist sehr gepflegt und sauber, eine schöne bepflanzte Außenanlage, super Aussicht auf das Meer, den Pool konnten wir wetterbedingt leider nicht nutzen, sah aber sehr einladend aus. Durch die steile Hanglage kommt man zu Fuß nur bedingt voran, weshalb unser Mietwagen goldwert war...lohnt sich eh, Kreta hat so viel zu bieten. Gute Ausgangslage für Ausflüge mit dem Auto zur Inselerkundung.

We really enjoyed our stay in Thomais´resort. Thomais did everything to make us feel welcome and welcomed us with homemade cooking and wine. Located on the mountain top the distance to shopping and restaurants is several kilometers, but excellent taxi service solved this so we dropped our plans to rent a car.
