Apartment holiday rentals in Sfakaki

We had a wonderful stay at Agata's place. The location couldn’t be better—right in the heart of downtown, just steps from the fortress. Agata and her husband Valantis were incredible hosts, always attentive and ready to help with anything we needed. Valantis even helped us find a parking spot when we arrived, which was a relief. Highly recommend!

Beautiful and clean place to stay! Great location right next to Rethymo. Would stay here again!

We had a wonderful time at Nikos's place. Nikos was great, he's probably one of the friendliest hosts I've ever encountered on Airbnb. The place was exactly like in the photos, clean and cozy, and the host was always helpful and answered our questions whenever we had some.

Absolutely stunning stay! This oceanfront apartment offers unbeatable sunrise and sunset views right from the balcony — truly breathtaking. The space was spotless, modern, and well-equipped with everything we needed. Just a short drive to the city center, yet peaceful and quiet at night. We loved waking up and running along the ocean and sipping wine while watching the sun dip below the horizon. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a relaxing, scenic vacation. Five stars! Lakovos was extremely helpful and very responsive, making everything smooth and stress-free. For a truly unforgettable dining experience, we highly recommend heading into the nearby mountain villages of Drakona and Theriso — the food, scenery, and hospitality are next-level.

From the initial booking through checking out, everything was amazing! Maria is a fabulous hostess - proactive and responsive. She greeted us with out-of-this-world homemade chocolate chip bread and showed us all the wonderful features of the house. Anything we wanted to know about Crete, she had so much information. The house itself has many extras - 3 types of coffee, condiments, any kitchen item you would want, dishwasher and laundry pods, plenty of extra towels, beach towels, the list goes on! Having a private parking spot was especially nice. I would highly recommend Maria’s place to anyone wanted an oasis for their stay on Crete.

We fell in love with this apartment and Manos hospitality five years ago and came back 6 times since then. Already booked the next stay before we left. It’s an amazing place created with passion and care. Clean, quiet, beautiful architecture, lovely interior and the most caring host I ever met on Airbnb. Thanks Manos for creating this little piece of holiday heaven

Firstly Lena made this stay so comfortable and easy, she went above what she needed to and it was so helpful as we were checking in at 1am. The directions were easy and the old town felt super safe to navigate through Secondly the accommodation, I gasped when I walked in, it was so beautiful. The highest ceilings with exposed brick, beautifully clean with water in the fridge, toast, jam, coffee and tea as well as all the usual amenities. Side note - insanely great double glazing to block the noise out! You couldn’t hear anything disturbing (you can hear a bit but nothing extreme, which is crazy as when you open the doors it’s very noisy) Thank you again Lena. For your accommodation as well as the time you took to provide us with instructions, knowing we were arriving so late at night/early in the morning

Absolutely stunning apartment. Amazing location, super clean, comfy bed, high quality linens and towels, last but not least the host was amazing. I would highly recommend this apartment to everyone!

Chrysa is a very friendly and helpful host. She answered all our questions very fast. The apartment was very clean and just like in the pictures. We felt very comfortable and would love to come back.

Wonderful, kind and knowledgeable host. It was such a pleasure meeting Mihalis. His home is beautiful, it is really spacious, has secure underground parking. You can ride the elevator from garage up to where the front door is. That was the coolest. The home has the most amazing view. Pictures are accurate but they don't do it justice. The view is unbelievable. Comfortable couch and beds, very clean, stocked with amenities, you'll want for nothing. Mihalis was even generous enough to stock us with water and very good oranges. Several Restaurant choices in both directions and great clothing shops just 200 ft up the road. It's going to be tough to beat this BnB compared to future others. We were so sad to leave. Can't recommend it highly enough. Like us, you'll have no regrets.

Vasilis helped us a lot when we contacted him in Rethymno at short notice with our request to move to his apartment out of necessity. He reacted immediately, was very accommodating and made a quick move possible. The facility was beautiful, the beach within walking distance and the communication was great! Everything was great. Note: The adjacent hotel often has evening events that can be clearly heard in the apartment. After midnight, however, it was always quiet. Thanks again, Vasilis and highly recommended!

Great apartment with great views – just like in the pictures! Top location and everything went smoothly, check-in was easy and the location was great. Only the shower was a bit tricky with the temperature setting, but that was really just a small detail and did not affect the overall very positive impression. Clear recommendation!

We loved our stay and would definitely stay again! The apartment looks just like the photos and is really well maintained and immaculately clean. Plus they’ve also thought of everything, it’s really well equipped. The location is great, just a couple of minutes walk to all the old town restaurants and bars. Plus the rooftop is a real sun trap in the afternoon, we loved hanging out by the pool.

amazing stay and we enjoyed the welcome gifts. thank you again for a great stay!

We loved our stay at the Alice Villa. Location is truly fantastic for shopping and loads of restaurants. We spent quite a bit of time at the villa when the weather wasn’t the greatest and we couldn’t have been happier. Thank you Marianna for the wonderful hospitality and the gifts. Have to mention the people we met in the restaurants and on the streets, soooo friendly. We were very sad to leave. Could’ve stayed a lot Longer. Book it, youll love it. Until next time.

We had a great time at the place with our kids. We loved the pool and the view and the hospitality and would definitely recommend to stay with Argiri. Thank you.

Although we booked for 3 people and it was only prepared for 2, the host was very quick and helpful in solving the problem! Very good room and conditions :)

Perfect location in Chania, literally in the middle of the action of the old town. Every restaurant on our list was a short walk away. It was very easy to stop back at home to freshen up and go back out at any time. The house itself is meticulously renovated with a luxurious modern feel, yet still preserving the elements of the 500 year old history of the house. Three floors, two bedroom, 2.5 bathrooms. There are four outdoor spaces if you include the ground floor patio which we enjoyed sitting and listening to the music of the bar next door. The hosts are very helpful and their family’s beach club is the nicest one on Paralia Agia Marina. We spent almost a full day there. We rented a car for two of our days to get to the beaches and Nancy showed us where to park for free for extended periods. You can park closer for a fee, and the pedestrian street is open to cars early in the morning so I was able to drive right up to the door to load out. I would definitely stay there again.

The space was spacious, comfortable, and had a beautiful view. We especially loved the large deck—perfect for enjoying morning coffee or dining outdoors. The location is great, with a wonderful bakery and market just a short walk away. You’ll need a car to explore the town and surrounding area, but everything is within a short, easy drive. Our host was incredibly welcoming and responsive, sharing great tips and insights about the area. They also took the time to share aspects of the local culture, which made our stay feel even more special. We were lucky to be in Rethymno over Easter—it was an unforgettable experience!

We are now back home and have had some time to reflect. From check-in to check-out, it was simply amazing. We felt right at home. Traditional food was regularly left at the door by the family. At the beginning, we were also surprised by this. We had a great rental car and drove around the area a bit. The place is perfect for that. Approximately 1 hour from Heraklion Airport and everything else is accessible. Would we book again and again.

Mike was great from the start…we booked last minute and he texted me immediately. He made everything very easy and was extremely friendly when we got there to check in. He showed us everything about the apartment that we needed to know and gave us lots of tips on where to go to eat and to see the best sites. The rooftop space was beautiful and the apartment was very close to everything in the area… We were able to walk to everything! I would definitely recommend staying there… Thank you, Mike!

Great stay, great location, great views. Very close to many bars and restaurants. Not too noisy at night. The only slightly negative aspect was the shower. Basically made the entire floor flooded. Overall, i would recommend the place and would definitely return.

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!

Athina was super helpful and communication was outstanding. The location couldn’t have been better for central old town close to many restaurants, shops, coffee shops, cafes and the old port. Brilliant. The accommodation was superb, immaculate and well serviced every day. The Jacuzzi / plunge pool will be perfect for the sweltering Cretan summer heat with a lovely courtyard. All in all very highly recommended.
