Villa holiday rentals in Kalathas

This place is a treasure. The views from the living room and kitchen are spectacular. The house has many clever features that are well designed. The area around Almyrida is fun to explore--go down to the beach or on a hike along the coast. Almyrida is a cute beach town, very welcoming. And we did several further from the town adventures. We had no idea that Crete has so much to offer--pottery in Margarites, beautiful beaches, intense hikes, exceptional museums, exploring Hania's historic streets. The property management team were wonderful to interact with. We felt so fortunate to find such a gem. Thank you!!! We sure hope we can return.

Beautiful and modern villa, in a great location with a sea view. Everything was comfortable and at a high standard. Location is very peaceful and easy to get to (by car). The host is very friendly, responsive and helpful. Would definitely recommend and would like to return again in the future!

Beautiful, spacious, clean, modern villa, with a friendly and responsive host

Really lovely stay. The air BnB was very clean and pleasant and the hosts were friendly. They had also bought some spare pool toys for my son. They gave us great recantations of places to eat and visit. Villa is a little outside of chania but we managed without a car. Really lovely stay, thank you!

Fantastic stay in a great villa. Swimming pool on the roof is fabulous. Very well equipped property with everything you might need. Beds are really comfortable with ample air conditioning units in the rooms. Great location for touring Crete in the car, but a bit far out from Chania if you want to walk into the town. Taxis were readily available. Host is really helpful with recommendations.

Clean house with good equipment. Very helpful host. Fully recomended.

A beautiful stay near the airport in Crete. Easy to get to. This is a little bit more remote, but there is a delicious taverna 5 minutes away, and it's a beautiful view with a lot of room. Do be prepared for a few bugs that may sneak their way in, and for the local cats. I actually became best friends with one of the cats here and it broke my heart so bad to leave him. He would come over every day and cuddle with me on the lounge chairs for hours. He'd jump up on the balcony when I was there, come to the front door... He tried to sneak inside several times, and on one of the nights where it was rainy I felt so bad not being able to let him in. I set up a little shelter for him in the yard, but if you're an animal person, just be prepared going in. I cried several times because I wasn't expecting him, and really fell in love with the cat. He's white with some brown and black markings. If you see him around, be nice to him! He's such an affectionate little cuddler!

The villa is beautiful, the setting too. But there's not much to see in the area apart from La canne, or you have to go far

We enjoyed our stay at Markos Villa; all was much more than expected The large, warmed swimming pool was lovely, For sure, it is a place to recommend

Book this Airbnb. Do not think twice. Nice to be greeted with wine and snacks after the flight over. 3 styles of coffee makers with coffee. Sugar, spices, olive oil and balsamic to get you started. 4 bedroom 3 full baths. Great living and cooking areas. Very spacious for our group of 7. Clean and comfortable. Equipped with everything you could ask for. We made a few terrific meals with the grill and kitchen equipment. Harilao has put a lot of thought and planning in to his home. Gorgeous outdoor space with heated pool. Indoors is clean and uncluttered. The views are lovely. 1 minute on walk up the street to fresh bread daily and cute market. 3 minute walk down the street is a bigger market. 4 minute walk to my favorite beach. 8 Euro for 2 chairs and an umbrella. Bar right there if you want a drink. Walk to coffee, pastries, restaurants and bars near by. We loved the home and beach so much that we slipped a few day trips. 5 stars. I hope to come back! Amazing home.

Excellent stay . Lovely family helped throughout. Home is beautiful

Fantastic Villa for our family party. Spacious, well equipt and with lovely pool and view. There are nice (and inexpensive restaurants within walking distance too). Neighbourhood was peaceful. We felt very much at home, mainly due to the fantastic hosting. Georgia and Andreas are so friendly. Cheerful , beautiful people. They want to make every part of the stay special. Thank you both! ❤️

This is a 10/10 Villa. We have travelled a lot and this is by far the best Villa we have stayed in. We were a family of 9 (5 adults and 4 children aged 2, 4, 9 and 11). The views are stunning, the pool is big, all the rooms have private bathroom. Jacuzzi is also perfect for when the sun goes down! Theo was a wonderful host helping us, giving good recommendations and suprising as with some nice gestures. This Villa really is a Gem as the name suggests. As for the surroundings - it is 100% private! For me the best part was that there is a nice local village to walk to every night. There are some amazing Tavernas/Restaurants with delicious food and reasonable prices (also a mini-market). There is also a nice beach with a good restaurant and a nice cozy beach bar - it is only a 10 minute walk from the villa. And if you rent a car then it is a 10 minute ride to the Rethymnon old town, which is also a very nice place with lots of shops and restaurants. The Villa was worth every euro!

What a beautiful stay and this stunning villa. Definitely the best outdoor space at any villa I’ve ever stayed. And the view? Well, it’s even better than it looks. Kissamos is a chilled out town with great access to some of the world’s best beaches and some great local restaurants. Antonio’s was always on hand to help with anything we needed, he responded to our messages in about 5 minutes. Such a lovely guy and you won’t regret staying here. Thank you and YAMAS!

Georgios is one of the best host I have encountered. The villa is amazing and there is not enough lines here to express a recommendation. High quality and relaxing place is the most descriptive. Thank you again to Georgios for his welcome and flexibility.

The villa exudes luxury throughout with thoughtful details that ensure a high level comfort during your stay. We couldn’t make full use of the pool (price to heat was a bit high) but our daughters were braver and took a few quick dips. We stayed over Easter and planned visits into the local town and surrounding area to immerse ourselves in the celebrations and communities which was so memorable. We’d definitely love to stay again- it was a wrench to leave!!

Despoina's villa was a beautiful, modern, pristine home with plenty of space and amenities. The pool was a wonderful addition to our stay, where we often took morning, afternoon, and night swims. Kalathas beach is a 5 minute walk away, and is a perfect for relaxing day. We highly recommend staying here for a Crete vacation.

Great villa for a great group holiday. You have good opportunities to do, but you can also spend a great chill day there. Barbara was also available at any time and is always helpful to answer any remaining questions. So you can only recommend it

Beautiful well equipped house in a perfect location within easy walking distance of a supermarket, beach and restaurants. What makes this house absolutely exceptional is the host, Stavros. He couldn’t have been more welcoming, meeting us with some very welcoming groceries including his homemade wine and olive oil. We will absolutely be back. Thank you Stavros for making our stay so perfect.

Our stay at HotelPraxis was incredible and Polimnia was the most gracious host I have experienced in my 10 years in Airbnb. She was close by but never intrusive, left snacks, fruits and water in the fridge, dropped eggs off, recommended restaurants and incredibly, made baked goods of some traditional Greek treats that were so delicious. My family was overwhelmed by the beauty and privacy of the Blue Lake Villa. And the home is lovely, fluffy towels, great water pressure, comfortable beds. What a treat! We will definitely return! I highly recommend.

Amazing views. Lovely space. Host was very nice.

The house was stunning and the view was gorgeous making for a perfect sunset. Everything was as described. Great air conditioning in every room!!! The swimming pool and private sea swimming cove were both great. The house had everything you could want, and the host Stella and Kosta were very attentive, walked us through the entire house, showed us everything we needed to know (outdoor grill, AC UNITS, private security gate, locks, dishwasher, etc.) Stella was a very generous and great host, left us fresh melon, bottle water, coffee, and other thoughtful touches to help us get settled in. My recommendation to anyone staying here is to rent a car if you want to explore the town. Rentals are very cheap and conveniently located at the airport. For Americans visiting the island, the addresses aren’t the same as the US, it’s basically the name of the town/village, and then the street name followed by the house/villa name. They’re also have a version of DoorDash called efood.

We had a great stay! Lia was so responsive and helped us find great restaurants and was able to give wonderful recommendations for things to do. The location was about 25 minutes to downtown Chania, but the drive was beautiful and it’s very close to the airport. There are cute towns between downtown Chania and the Airbnb with some great food! The house was gorgeous and clean. I highly recommend staying here!

This was probably the nicest airbnb we have stayed in. We were not in the busy part of town which was perfect for our family. The walk is about a mile to the waterfront area but there are plenty of cafes and restaurants along the way and the view is magnificent. The pool was great and our kids loved feeding and naming the cats in the area. We had a wonderful time. If you are reading this review and your dates are available don’t way- book it!
