Holiday rentals with a fireplace in Maleme

This upscale and well equipped villa is an excellent place to relax. Surrounded by olive trees and set in a fairly large property, you can enjoy peace and privacy in this spacious and comfortable house, while especially the upper rooms and terrace offer beautiful panoramic vistas. We spent new year‘s eve here and the hot tub and a romantic fireplace more than made up for not being able to jump in the pool at this time of the year. Communication and check-in with co-host Ioanna was very friendly and professional. Overall, a highly recommended experience.

Superbe maison, très bien située , endroit très calme et reposant. Nous avons passé un excellent séjour. La maman de Gregoris nous a très amicalement accueillis et nous a fourni d excellents conseils. Je recommande sans hésiter.

Das war genau, was wir gesucht haben. Ruhig, wenig Betrieb. Originale Taberna zu Fuß zu erreichen und authentisches Essen. 2 min mit dem Auto zum Supermarkt. Die Wohnung ist geräumig mit allem, was man braucht. Stelios hat auf uns gewartet und genau den Weg erklärt. Eine kleine Reparatur würde umgehend erledig. Wir bedanken uns für schöne Zeit und die leckeren Orange aus dem zugehörigen Garten.

We had a wonderful stay in a great location with the friendliest hosts. The house was large with all the amentities you could ever need or want. The patio was spectacular with a beautiful view and also very spacious. You do need a car for this area, but everything was pretty central to where we needed to go. Parking was available on the street next to the house. The hosts also left us treats which was a very nice touch :)

Great place directly opposite the beach - fantastic if you have toddlers like us. We ended up having dinner at the restaurant next door every day because the kids could play out there while we ate. If you want to visit the most beautiful beaches on Crete, this west coast location is great (though it should be noted that the beach near the house is actually facing north, which means it is thankfully not frequented by tourists). The host is very friendly and willing to help with any issues. The airbnb was very well equipped and prepared for our visit (including items we would not ordinarily expect like fruit, cake, and even a dinner on the first night - though we obviously knew about it based on previous reviews). We would come back here in a heartbeat!

The hosts were warm and generous like we’ve never experienced. In addition to the stunning home, they did little things you don’t expect (like olive oil, tsipouro and wine from their orchards). The location is stunning with a view of sunrise AND sunset. We went off season, so the award winning butcher at the bottom of the hill was a big plus, as was the nice grocery store. The top of the bluff to the home would be a challenge for a car larger than our VW T-ROC. Don’t miss the church and WWII War Memorial within a short walk. It’s rare that what we expected was exceeded by what we experienced. This is likely the best property in Platanias with awesome hosts. Book now!!

Heerlijk verblijf in een serene omgeving. Prachtig uitzicht richting zee, fijn zwembad en grote, smaakvol ingerichte kamers. Wij konden hier echt tot rust komen. Je hebt wel meestal een auto nodig om restaurantjes of nabijgelegen dorpjes te bezoeken. Voor ons geen probleem, wij genoten juist van de rust.

What an amazing property near Chania! Our family absolutely loved the place, and the views cannot be beat. Being able to see the ocean and feel the warm breeze every morning on the balcony was so special. It was also very close to the Agia Marina and Platanias beach that we went to everyday; old town Chania was just 20mins away. Nikki was a great host and so responsive, she was able to answer all our questions. I would recommend this place without hesitation.

A lovely place in a cute village, surrounded by olive trees. A gorgeous view from the terrace. The house manager communicates very well, with fast, clear and friendly instructions. Special mention: the owners Elena and Michail also run a delightful restaurant 30min away. It is well worth going, for the food, the view, but most importantly to meet with them! They have been sooo incredibly welcoming and it was a treat to have a chat with them both. I definitely recommend

Nous avons passé un excellent séjour dans ce logement très bien équipé, propre et conforme à l’annonce. L’accès direct à la mer est un vrai atout, idéal pour en profiter à tout moment de la journée. L’hôte, qui habite juste en dessous, a été très accueillant et disponible. À noter toutefois : la route proche peut être bruyante en soirée, ce qui peut gêner les personnes sensibles au bruit. Malgré cela, nous avons beaucoup apprécié notre séjour. Merci pour votre accueil !

Het was een perfecte plek! George en familie waren erg gastvrij! Onze dochter mocht zelfs even boven spelen met zijn kinderen! Appartement was mooi, ruim en erg schoon! Met grote balkons (met een fantastisch uitzicht) en een ruime tuin die perfect was voor onze 4 jarige dochter. Van de tuin kregen we sla, eieren, schapenmelk en olijfolie. In de buurt snel bij het strand, lekkere restaurantjes en wandelroutes. Voor herhaling vatbaar! Wij hebben genoten :).

This place is truly special. We enjoyed our time here so much. George’s parents-George and Alexandra were the best! Always a warm and friendly greeting. They were so kind and helpful. Their dog was also super sweet. They really made us feel at home. The place was great. Very comfortable and had everything we needed for a great stay. The view was to die for!! Just spectacular. Every morning waking up and looking out the window made you feel such a sense of peace. The location was fabulous. Close to so many wonderful restaurants and the most beautiful beaches. In case you can’t tell, we totally loved our stay. You will not be disappointed with this lovely little gem. Highly recommend!

Words can’t describe how incredible this home is. Every corner you looked there was a masterpiece to be found. Beautifully decorated is an understatement, this Airbnb was curated over years and years of living. It was nested in the heart of the town. I will 100% be coming back. Thank you so much for a lovely stay Stelios and Nina.

Hidden gem! Loved this home, literally two minute walk to Golden Beach. Katerina is so sweet (she met us in-person, had local restaurant recommendations, and even provided a bottle of wine). The home was perfect for our group of 6 (great value for the money, too). Would 100% come again!

Stavros was fantastic, as was the history of this wonderful place. Rethymno was a beautiful town and we explored everywhere on foot. We decided on walking in the morning and then having a late lunch (each lunch was fantastic) and walking back up the hill to have a light supper on the deck at sunset. Beautiful and thank you so much for the care you put into your house to make it a wonderful experience.

Petros était une hôte génial et disponible. Il nous a accueilli avec de magnifiques attentions et s'est montré ultra disponible pour la moindre demain. L'appartement était juste MAGNIFIQUE. Le service, les attentions et l'équipement ont fait que nous avons passé un super moment entre amis, dans ce qui est certainement le plus bel et luxueux appartement dans lequel j'ai pu résider. Et tout ceci en plein centre ville de la Canée. Je recommande fortement.

Wonderful Experience at the Villa Elias! Our stay at the villa was perfect. The sea view was breathtaking, especially during sunset – a true sense of calm, quiet, and complete privacy. Choosing this villa was an excellent decision, especially because of the heated pool, which the kids absolutely loved. They enjoyed both swimming and playing in the spacious garden. The villa is well-equipped, with many useful items that made our stay very comfortable, including an air pump for pool toys. The location is also great – close to shops, supermarkets, and pharmacies. Highly recommended for families looking for a peaceful and convenient holiday with children. Wissam,

Zusammen mit sechs Freunden durften wir während einer Woche die unglaubliche Villa geniessen. Die Villa war ein Traum. Es hatte mehr als genug Platz, die Lage ist 1A und alles entsprach genau den Bildern auf der Webseite. Auch für unsere zwei Autos hatte mehr als genug Platz. Die Kommunikation mit Petros war einwandfrei. Der Check-in wie auch der Check-out erfolgte sehr flexibel. Petros war jederzeit erreichbar und empfahl uns auch viele tolle Aktivitäten rund um die Villa und Umgebung. Sehr empfehlenswert! Wir kommen gerne wieder.

This is a stunning home in a great neighbourhood with a host who is an absolute 10/10! The house was even better than expected as a couple more bathrooms were added recently so there are now four. Host met us at the property, showed us around and gave extensive recommendations for all things Chania and Crete! The pool is just perfect for lounging or a dip in the evening after a hot day exploring beautiful Chania & Crete. I’d suggest you must have a car to get to and from the property as it is in a residential area however I think for Crete in general you need a car. Definitely one of the best Airbnbs we’ve ever stayed in, top to bottom. Don’t even hesitate booking this place!

Villa olive was the perfect place for us! the place is located in a very privet area with an amazing view, the hose is huge and very special, compfortable and clean. sotiris the host was avialble for us the whole time with great recomandations about where to go and where to eat and it was a big upgrade for our vication . it was way more than we expected, both the house itself and sotiris. we will defently come back to this perfect place. greece in its best

This villa in Crete is a true gem! It’s private yet close to charming restaurants, with stunning views of the ocean and mountains from every window. The villa is beautifully decorated with a mix of comfort and ancient charm, making it feel like a home away from home. Walking in the area was such a delight. The host is incredible—truly my favorite of all time. He greeted me with delicious goodies, and his warm, big-hearted personality was so motivating. When a burner had a small issue, he replaced the entire stove with a high-quality gas model immediately. He even played the ancient Greek lyre, adding a magical touch to my stay. If you’re looking for a peaceful retreat with exceptional hospitality, this is the place. I’ll cherish the memories forever!

Property was as described, great location. Pavlos was an amazing Host above expectations with arrival amenities and local recommendations.

Wir hatten eine wundervolle Zeit im Haus. Sehr erholsame und ein idealer Ort um fie Umgebung zu erkunden. Bei der Ankunft wurden wir sehr herzlich empfangen und es fehlte uns an nichts. Etwas zu Knabbern und zu Trinken war auch schon vorhanden. Das Meer nur gerade einen Katzensprung entfernt. Zu Fuss einkaufen, Restaurant besuchen und es hat sogar eine Bushaltestelle. Sprich, man könnte auch ohne, Mietwagen reisen. Ideal für Reisende die dem Trubel entkommen möchten. Top Herzlichen dank an Hannah und den Hausbesitzer.

Merci beaucoup à notre hôte pour sa gentillesse et sa disponibilité. Tout était parfait nous avons passé un merveilleux séjour. La maison etait propre et fonctionnel la vue et l'environnement exceptionnel, la piscine est vraiment indispensable avec les températures en créte nous en avons bien profité! Merci pour tout, a bientot je l'espère ☺️
