Villa holiday rentals in Sfakaki

The villa was clean and comfortable and well equipped with shops in walking distance. The hosts were in touch regularly and helped with car hire and arranging transfers. The villa and pool were cleaned during our stay. We had a wonderful and relaxing break and particularly enjoyed being so close to the sea.

We really enjoyed our stay. We were 4 adults, 1 toddler and 1 dog. We are very satisfied with the villa and would love to come back next year. The villa has a private pool and a private entrance to the beach. However, water at the beach was dirty most of the time and wasn’t really comfortable to swim there with a baby, also because of the rock bottom, so we were driving to different public beaches. You must have a car, because due to the weather conditions it wasn’t possible to us to walk anywhere near.

Very nice reception, warm hosts who answered all questions immediately. The house is beautiful and lovingly furnished. Just like in the photos. A wonderfully beautiful pool with plenty of seating and lounging options can be found. The pebble beach is directly about 50 meters in front of the house. A beautiful sandy beach is just a 10-minute walk away. The city of Rethymnon is in approx. 15-20 minutes by car. We highly recommend the place. Thanks again to the hosts.

The house is as described. A perfect destination for a family, if you want a more peaceful location for a vacation. The beach is wonderfully peaceful. Services are a 5-15 minute walk away. The owner greeted us when we arrived and told us how everything works. She had brought food to the fridge, a perfect start to the holiday! They were really kind, helpful and guided when needed. I highly recommend!

Adamantios is a wonderful host. The villa is beautiful and exactly as described in the photos. We were made to feel welcome straight away woth homemade cake and olive oil as well as other bits. Adamantios was quick to respond to any questions we had and jumped to our rescue when our rental car battery died! The villa is t really walking distance to anywhere so my top recommendation would be to get a rental car with good AC! There are very few places around the area to park in the shade so if you have rubbish AC like we did, the journeys can be stressful. Would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking to have a bit of space from the business of local areas and wanting to switch off at the gorgeous pool!

This villa is spaciois a d spotlessly clean and fully delivers on the pictures - we loved every moment of our stay. It’s like a small piece of heaven! Erini had made cake for us as we arrived in the middle of the night when no stores were open, so thoughtful. The villa is equiped with shampoo, Olive oil, tea and other things that you really appreciate as a guest - must say Erini is a perfect host with very good and responsive communication. Loads of things to do in the area around the villa (but you do need a car). That said, just go go go - you will not regret ir!

We we’re two families with toddlers who stayed at Frode’s house, and the house with all its amenities worked great for a fun, easy family friendly vacation. Frode was very easy and quick to communicate with, both before and during the stay, and was very friendly and helpful when we need it. Can absolutely recommend this host and house! 😄

High-quality bed mattresses — there was an earthquake and my friend slept through it I highly recommend this stunning villa to anyone looking for a relaxing, quality getaway with their loved ones. It’s conveniently located halfway between Heraklion and Chania (about an hour’s drive to each), it features a pool overlooking the ocean, and each room has its own bathroom and a balcony furnished with a coffee table and chairs or a sofa — perfect for enjoying the sunrise or sunset with a cup of coffee! PS: the beds were so incredibly comfortable that during an actual earthquake on our last night, my friend didn’t even feel the earth shake lol.

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 place, great for families. Lots of toys and even a potty for the kids! Cleaner came mid week which was not necessary but so great. Beach is a 3 min walk. Really need a car to get there which was fine for us! Thanks for everything.

We loved staying at Petros's place. The location is picture perfect and completely serene, coupled with the stunning views - perfect getaway gem. The villa is beautifully designed with lots of places to explore and hang out in. Petros is very accommodating and all around helpful from assisting us in setting up the outdoor speakers to offering to make restaurant reservations on our behalf. We had an absolutely amazing time and hope to stay at the villa again when we come back to Crete. Highly recommend!

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at this beautiful villa! The house is truly luxurious, in perfect condition, and tastefully designed with great attention to detail. The layout of the rooms is simply brilliant — spacious, comfortable, and perfect for relaxing and spending quality time together. The heated pool was one of our favorite features — always at the perfect temperature to cool down and unwind at any time of the day. The location couldn’t be better: just a few minutes’ walk to the beach, where you’ll find plenty of great restaurants, cafes, and shops. A very special thank you to our amazing hosts! They were incredibly warm, welcoming, and always just a message away. Every little question or request was answered within minutes — we felt truly taken care of from the very first moment. We can highly recommend this villa to anyone looking for a perfect holiday on Crete. We would love to come back anytime! Thank you so much, Eleni&Georgios!

An absolute gem, we had an amazing stay at Maria's place. The house is absolutely beautiful, modern with quality all around. It's also super private with nothing but nature around you. Will definitely be coming back!!

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!

We had an incredible stay with our family. The photos do not do it justice. It’s so beautiful and so peaceful. There were many lovely welcome food and drinks that we really appreciated. We had many activities and family in the area so we were out and about but were always looking forward to coming back to enjoy the house, the pool, and the gorgeous view. We also loved the hot tub when we got a little chilled from swimming since it was a bit early in season. We made sure to have a day to just do that. We used the indoor/outdoor theatre one night and that was really fun. All the rooms and the kitchen were perfectly appointed. Everything was so well thought out. We can’t wait to come again and stay longer and have time to use the outdoor kitchen, the gorgeous dining room and enjoy the beautiful pool and view again. Thank you Evi for an incredible stay at this beautiful house!

We had the most dreamy of times at the villa! Maria gave us a warm welcome and made us feel at home right away. We loved her hospitality and proactive hosting, giving us tips and recommendations of places to visit in the area. The place provided everything one could wish for, from pristine looking rooms to hammam showers, a fine gas bbq and shaded terrace, glorious swimming pool, comfy sofa and a kitchen chefs would enjoy. The surroundings are to die for. Sinuous roads and endless sea views, unique beaches, but also mountain hikes, gorges and wine tastings not far at all (car is a must). Closest taverna has delicious food. Agia Galini is a short drive away and offers all essentials should you need to shop, eat out, find an atm or go on a fishing boat trip. Thanks again for a fantastic stay! We will be back sooner than later!

We came here as a family as we were getting married in rethymno. We loved our stay here. The villa is clean, modern and very comfortable- especially the beds! Air con in each room was very effective and quiet. The kids loved playing in the outdoor area and the pool. Great views! The hill was abit steep but very do-able. Communication was great! The owner was lovely and was so kind! They even have a baby gate to the stairs so that we can relax in the living and kitchen area, big bonus for us! We would love to stay here again.

Great stay in a quiet and sublime location. The property is impeccable, with excellent service by the owner who welcomed us with open arms with a service that allowed us to arrive without having to shop before arriving. Always helpful and attentive to tenants, who directly tells us the local activities and commerce. Perfect place to relax and recharge. Highly recommend it.

The villa owners and Etouri team redefined what it means to be a host. We were blown away by how they went above and beyond in so many ways, from surprising us with a traditional Greek dish on arrival and gifting us various fruits, olive oil and tea, to organising a delicious freshly made birthday cake and candles for my Mum’s big day. Chrysoula from Etouri also deserves her own shout out. She helped me track down some tofu (I’m vegetarian) as they don’t sell it in many local supermarkets, and even dropped off her own personal training weights for my sister, who was looking for a nearby gym to keep training while on holiday. We truly felt so welcome and celebrated. It felt as if we were relatives who had returned home after a long time being away. We could tell just how much joy the owners get from treating their guests well. To them, we weren’t just guests. We were family. It was beautiful to witness from start to finish. I highly recommend booking.

Fabulous place to stay :)

Super sweet people. Everything was well arranged. Despite the sandstorm, they really gave a top service. We even got pizza as an apology, while they couldn't do anything about it. Very sweet. Definitely a villa to go to sometime.

this is a great Villa to stay at in central Crete that made it easy to branch off to many other areas of the island the best part was the Villa itself with its swimming pool and the views. great place to stay close to the small village of margarite. highly recommend it's got to be one of the best places to stay in all of Crete. Michalis was a great representing host.

We stayed for 2 weeks at Inn Villa in Sfakaki in August. Weather was beautiful and the pool was very much needed in the hot weather. The Villa is lovely! Kitchen is well equipped with every possible appliance and cooking utensil. The filtered cold water machine was a lifesaver! The BBQ area is amazing in the evenings. The owner kindly installed the electric spit roast so we slow roasted a chicken and it was divine! The owner Nikoleta was wonderful. Messaged throughout the holiday to check if we needed anything. The pool was cleaned every other day so always looked perfect. Beach towels and pool towels are provided, and some inflatables Thalassis restaurant 15 mins walk away, Greek Dancing on Wednesdays! lots of fun!! The local supermarket has everything you need but is more expensive than Lidl. Visit Margarites - 20 mins away! Beautiful! ❤️ The Villa is 1 hour from Heraklion and Chania and 45 mins from the South coast so car is essential but definitely worth it 👍 Great Villa!!❤️❤️

We had a wonderful family vacation in Greece, and this property was the perfect spot for it. The villas are beautiful, well-equipped, and ideal for both adults and little ones. We were especially grateful for all the baby essentials and toys provided, it made traveling with rhe little one so much easier! The location is great, with delicious restaurants nearby, all the instructions and plenty of local recommendations from Manos. A special thank you to our property manager Menios, who was incredibly responsive, proactive, and flexible throughout our stay, his support made everything smooth and stress-free! Thank you! We truly enjoyed our time here. All that relaxing by the pool, spending quality time with family, and just soaking in the good vibes. Highly recommend! Thank you so much for such an amazing holiday!
