Cottage holiday rentals in Islands

The accommodation is located in a small, beautiful and private village – perfect for relaxing. Everything is spotless and thoughtfully arranged. There’s plenty of space, so everyone can have their own area – ideal for larger families with older children or teenagers, as each one can have their own room without being disturbed. Konstantinos is a fantastic host – always available, quick to respond and genuinely committed to making your stay as comfortable as possible. We even got small souvenirs gifted. There’s also an amazing local restaurant called Veranda of Prines nearby with a very generous owner and incredibly delicious food. With a rental car you're just a short drive away from Rethymno and many other beautiful spots on the island, making this a great base for exploring. We usually drove about 1-2 hours into every direction and were able to explore the entire island. Thank you for such a lovely stay – we truly felt at home and would love to come back!

Very nice, she was an amazing host, very friendly, very helpful, 10/10 breakfast really made the trip worth it. Highly recommend

Beautiful place to stay. Owners were very attentive.

This places was amazing! Truly a gem! We found it last min on an overnight before we flew out, it’s 30 ish mins from the airport but really a beautiful quiet place! The hosts are amazing very proactive and friendly.

Heike was a perfect host. We could contact her at any time. Everything was correct.

The place is charming and friendly also very well designed and built. The gardens are beautiful. We loved the resident cats but then we love cats. The valley is beautiful with almost no traffic so very peaceful. The swimming pool is great. It’s a special location , you definitely need a car to get about and visit the main beaches etc which were excellent and Kissamos which is good. The photos are very accurate but it’s better in real life

Alexander and Karolina from Anthi's team made our visit so amazing. Anthi was so responsive and helpful, the place was beautiful, and Alexander's daily breakfast was the best way to wake up and have private breakfast overlooking the sea. Highly recommend this location if you are looking for a private, beautiful experience. They made such a special trip for us!

We had a wonderful stay! The view was absolutely breathtaking, especially from the pool area, which quickly became our favorite spot. The kitchen was fully equipped, which made cooking easy and enjoyable. It also catered perfectly to our baby’s needs. The host and their team were incredibly friendly and attentive, always going above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable. In the evenings, stargazing from the terrace was magical, adding to the peaceful ambiance. A perfect getaway for families or anyone looking for relaxation in a stunning setting!

Had a brilliant stay at the dovecote in May. Incredible location just a few minutes walk from the beautiful Chora, amazing views from the outside space overlooking the sea, town and the famous church on the hill, and the house itself was really cute - small and cosy, comfortable bed, views from the cute little windows, had everything we needed and the outside bathroom was kind of great! Couldn’t recommend this place more highly to be honest, I’d definitely stay there again. Unique. Also Vlasios was super responsive and proactive in giving us tips etc and his mum was really lovely and helpful to get us settled and on departure. We had a great time in Folegandros and the dovecote was a big part of that!

There is a secret magic to this place that whispers to you of peace and stillness. It’s not just what you see even though it is surrounded by vineyards, olive groves and ocean views it is how it makes you feel: a soul deep serenity, an imparting of resilience, a strength of spirit. Nikos and Miriam are ambassadors of the soul of Ikaria; vibrant, beautiful and joyful. You can see that Prosepera has worked its magic on their energy. They are also perfect hosts welcoming us with food, wine and snacks so we could just settle in and enjoy. Then there is the 400 year old stone house it is like a character from a fairy tale. It’s actually bigger than I expected and lovingly restored by the hosts. When you see so many of these traditional house neglected, its beautiful to see this one restored. It’s like stepping back in time but with modern amenities and you feel the stone house loves everyone back. I also adored the garden we had fresh food everyday and medicinal teas. Come and be restored!

Our stay at Sunny White House was perfect! Nansy, was a lovely host, always available, helpful and kind. There were many thoughtful elements in the house for us guests to feel at home and find everything one would need. Looking forwards to coming back!

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 had a great time at the house in the olive grove overlooking the mountains!!! The house was sparkling clean, everything abundant and the communication with Lombros was great!!! The house is lovingly decorated, furnished to a high standard and equipped with many practical details!!! The beds are very comfortable and the wonderful pool a highlight!!! We would definitely like to come back!!! Thanks to Lombros and family for this quiet oasis!!!

The Stone House is exactly as it appears. A perfect home to relax, swim and enjoy nearby villages and historic sites. Eleni made us feel like family.

Had the most amazing time at this place!!! Highly recommended 😍

We absolutely loved our stay at Three Skylights. The house is so beautifully decorated and very well stocked. Views from the balcony across to the mountains and ocean are breathtaking and there are so many places to sit and relax it was hard to choose! The location of the house was a little further than we anticipated (a solid 10 minute drive up a very steep windy and narrow road) but the little bit of drive was definitely worth it for the serene location it offered. It is a tricky driveway for parking so be sure your hire car is not on the bulky side. Nancy and Irini were exceptionally accommodating and communicative. A little hiccup we had on arrival was easily solved thanks to Irini's help and local contacts. As cat lovers we fell in love with a couple of little of the feline residents and we were happy to fill their hungry bellies during our stay. The nearby town Paralia Tyrou has a good selection of cafes, bars and restaurants. Portofino bar at Tigani Beach was fave

We had a wonderful stay! The place was clean, cozy, and exactly as described. The host was very friendly and helpful, and the location was perfect for exploring the area. We would definitely come back!

Absolutely amazing stay! The location is unbeatable — right in front of the sea with breathtaking views you can enjoy from the balcony. The apartment is beautifully maintained, clean, and has everything you need for a comfortable stay. Waking up to the sound of the waves and watching the sunset was truly unforgettable. The host was friendly and accommodating, making the whole experience even better. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a relaxing seaside escape!

Great location, views and host!

This place is amazing and a real gem. Dimitris and Georgios couldn't have been more helpful and friendly. You do need a car to really make the most of the local area. Great from start to finish! We will definitely be coming back!

We loved this pocket of peace, in the mountains, right in the village, and very close to the shop and the restaurant and cafes. Very spacious and well designed. Beautiful lighting and a great little pool to cool iff at the end if the day. We also loved the barbeque area and the outdoor dining room.

We spent 16 nights at Sotir Ali and enjoyed every minute. The long walks through the olive groves, the views and perfect weather made for a memorable visit…we recommend highly!! The local taverna and restaurants in nearby Mochlos were excellent and friendly.

We had an amazing stay at Andy's! She has been an amazing host, proactive, professional and overdelivering on the service! Recommended 200%!

Lovely little villa with a view of the mountains and the sea. Villa was provided with all the amenities including shampoo and much much more. Manolis provided with a cute basket full of yummy local treats and even a few bottles of wine. Villa is only 20 mins brisk walk to town and close to the highways taking you to the other parts of the island. The Villa felt like a 5 star hotel. Thank you for everything Manolis!
