Lasithi Luxury Villa
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!

Iliovasilema Luxury Apartment with Private Pool
Lia was so helpful and amazing during our stay. Fast responses when asked questions, she provided us with not only comfort but made us feel like we are at home. We didn’t have a car so lia was kind enough to help us in every way possible. Lia was the best hostess we could have asked for and we are so grateful for her. Definitely the best place we have ever booked and we will definitely be recommending this to others and we will come back for sure!

Garden villa with private pool and sea view.
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!

Sunterra - Studio with pool
Staying at Sunterra feels like being an honored guest at a Seaside Cretan Villa. My accommodation was lovely and private. Sofia left honey, treats and the best olive oil from her family estate. She checked on me often without being intrusive. I slept to the sounds of the Cretan Sea and the pool is world class. This is one of the best places to stay in the area. I highly recommend Sunterra for all types of travelers!! Thank you Sofia and Ionnis!❤️

Aurora Residence with Pool and Tennis Court
The best, most luxe Airbnb experience! 🥹 From the epic views and immaculate landscaping (with butterflies everywhere!) to the private pool + tennis court to the incredible suite with comfortable bed, spacious / modern living + kitchen spaces and endless amenities. This place has it all and is in absolute paradise. We were at peace the whole time. We loved the outdoor shower, free laundry, local village bakeries / cafes & restaurants, total privacy, local provided olive oil (made by the host!), and friendly hosts. We are already planning our next trip! 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 Thank you, Magdalena and Ms. Rosa. We are in awe of your home. 💚

Villa Luna/5 bedrooms/Private Pool/Hot Tub/Garden
The villa is clean, well stocked, and spacious. Simos was incredibly responsive and great to communicate with. The area is lovely, with a few excellent restaurants in walking distance, wineries and olive farms really close, and Knossos Palace also a short drive away. It’s a great place to unwind and the proximity to the Heraklion airport is also a bonus if you’re flying off the island.

Kotinos Villa with Private pool, In Hersonissos
we had a fantastic week at this villa it was a beautiful villa and area Geirge was very friendly helpful

Pamela's house (private pool and spa)
The place was spotless, clean, and tidy. Pamela welcomed us for our short stay in Heraklion. We were well settled there, about fifteen minutes by car from the city center and 10 minutes from the airport, which made it easier to organize the end of our stay.

Filoxenia Apartment
Great place, comfortable for a couple and good location!

"Arismari" Studio 2 min from Mades organized Beach
She was the best host that anyone could ever ask for. She went out of her way to give us dinner when we had just arrived (at 11pm) cake and gelatin that she had made from scratch and even gave us amazing places to check out all over Crete. Bless your soul Mandy. I will ALWAYS come back should the opportunity arises. Upon arrival the place was clean and ready on arrival. It was supplied with trash bags, a TV, kitchen supplies, even with some food in the fridge (which we greatly appreciated) great WIFI, and even bathroom and shower toiletries.

Oasis luxury place
The house was great , new furniture with nice style , the host was there for everything I needed !!!

The Sunny Terrace House
Staying at Panagiotis and Marianne place, The Sunny Terrace House was wonderful ! They were absolutely amazing hosts - so kind and generous, they provided everything we needed for breakfast, water and even a special raki in the fridge ❤️ The house is better in reality than the photos. Big, high ceiling rooms, very clean and well arranged. The living room with the kitchen is very spacious. The terrace surrounding the house is also very generous and well shaded. The bathroom - very beautiful, clean and spacious. The location is perfect, quiet and near the beach, tavernas and bus station. We highly recommend this place!! For sure, we will return to stay here when visiting Crete again- we felt like home ❤️

Anantia Luxury Maisonette - Scenic View
My wife and I toured the Villa in the listing, and it was absolutely gorgeous, but we stayed at the single story Villa below and our review will reflect our experience there. One thing worth noting about the listed Villa is that it is two stories, both beautifully appointed. Our single story Villa, a part of the same complex, was beautiful, peaceful, and restful. The Villa was impeccably clean, the space spacious and airy, completely modern and luxurious but without pretense. I could live there year round and count myself fortunate. The location is fifteen or twenty minutes from a number of popular beaches, yet in the countryside far from the noise, clutter, and confusion of the city. The town has everything you need and nothing you don’t. If anything could be better than the villa it’s the host, Manos. Manos is the most friendly and generous host imaginable; a gentleman and beautiful person in every sense. If I have any regrets about the villa it’s that I didn’t book it for longer.

Grand House - Private Outdoor Jacuzzi - Sleeps 6
Good accommodation, good location, modern amenities, everything within walking distance, both restaurants, beach, shopping right on the doorstep. Can you recommend 👍

Fotini Anisaras Apartments "Α"
Had a great stay! Thank you for your warm hosting, as well as your responsiveness and flexibility. The Airbnb is very well located: about 20-25 min from Heraklion by car and 10 min from the center of Hersonissos. Not having a vehicle, I got around by bus or taxi. There is a stop right in front of the accommodation (at the Zorbas Village Hotel) or another stop about 15-20 minutes walk. It is better to have a car to get around, go shopping because the Airbnb is a little out of the way, there is no hypermarket nearby on foot, it is a tourist area with many hotels, the molo café opposite offers free deckchairs. The location is very nice and safe, there are a lot of buses, taxis, cars but it's not too disturbing. The sea is right across the street, not even 2 minutes away, the view from the garden is great (of the sea and the mountains). The accommodation is comfortable and perfect for one or two people. I would definitely stay again.

Wide Sea Suites with heated jacuzzi A
Beautiful sea view, easy parking, smooth check-in & lightning-fast response time when I had questions. Jacuzzi was so lovely as well.

Gregory Luxury Villa by Cretevasion
My group of 8 had a blast at the Gregory Villa. Nice and spacious backyard area that is perfect for relaxing, and plenty of interior space to accommodate all of us. Celine was one of the most attentive and communicative hosts I’ve ever had, offering us tons of recommendations for things to do during the day (and even booking them for our group) as well as providing us with transfer services all throughout the Heraklion area. Highly recommended and hope to return another time!

Blue horizon, relaxing guesthouse with pool
We came 5 people - my husband and I, with our 2 children and my mother-in-law. First of all, a few days before we arrived Elena (an amazing woman with a perfect english) contacted me and made sure she has all the details so she can prepare a perfect stay for us. The house was super clean and equipped, and the outside was the best! We spent hours in the pool enjoying the amazing nature around us. Elena and her husband Yiorgos are wonderful people - they were very kind, caring and responsive. We wish we could come again next summer 🙏🏻

Housing Unit, Close To The Sea in Kato Gouves
This place is close to good beach. Very calm and it is has everything one needs

La Luna Suites 2
La Luna Sweet is a great place for everyone. We were there for a week and it was perfect ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Maria greeted us in person and took care of everything. Thank you so much and we wish you wonderful guests

My home - with private heated swimming pool
A beautiful Crete getaway in a great home. Charikleia will always be there for you to answer your questions, give you good recommendations and even bring some traditional sweets. The accommodation is very well located, quiet and relaxing with all the equipment to be comfortable during the stay. You have nearby not even a 5-minute walk to a small convenience store and a 10-minute walk to the beach and small restaurants (be careful in early November only 4 open restaurants). To get to Elafonisi or Balos, plan to drive 3h10 and 3h45. For a family of three we really enjoyed this largely livable place as a family. The pool is a real plus. It was a great vacation and I really recommend this place. Thank you again for your kindness and generosity. Thanks for the three of us!

Olive House
It was all perfect!! The apartment is bigger than it looks in the pictures. Everything is very, very clean and lovingly furnished. There's nothing missing! The balconies are great, I enjoyed lying on the lounger in the sun and looking at the trees. No one can look up at the balcony by the bedroom, you really have your peace here. Just a few minutes' walk and you are already in the lively old town. Nevertheless, you have your peace and quiet here. I was able to sleep well and the bed was very comfortable. You have everything you need here and I immediately felt very comfortable. The hosts are very pleasant and warm. I love Crete and especially Malia and can also recommend this accommodation without restriction. There is also parking is available right in front of the house. Price and performance is excellent!! Thank you very much dear Katerina and Mara, I wish you all the best :-) Yvonne

Rustic Nook
Amanda was friendly, flexible, and communicative. The house is lovingly restored and located in a charming setting in a quiet Cretan village.

Villa Anthemis - Private Pool
We stayed in the villa four. Both bedrooms very comfortable. A/C is available in every room. A very lovely surprise from the host was that there were meals and drinks in the fridge for visitors and also fresh fruit/veggies. To make sure it's comfortable to enjoy a vacation and get around the island, it's a good idea to take a rental car, but with that, the host, Manoli, was happy to help. At the same time, the nearest beach, grocery store, bus stop and restaurant are 10min walk away. The hosts Daniela and Manolis are very friendly and helpful to make the holiday a great time. We definitely recommend the stay we 100% gave to everyone! If we had to visit Crete again, we'd definitely choose the same place to stay. 😊☀️
