Holiday rentals with a fireplace in Stalos

The place was great. Location was perfect for us: close to some true gems food wise, beaches, wineries, etc. We loved it. We stayed 1 week, so we truly got a chance to enjoy it. Was also able to yoga in the morning with a view on the olive trees. All the little attentions made us feel welcomed.

Konstantinos and Stacey's apartment is really highly recommended. And a great starting point to discover the western part of Crete. Maleme is a sweet little town with super nice people and you have everything on site if you don't want to drive far for a day. In the apartment, we immediately felt very comfortable and even if it is a little smaller, it is so well furnished that every room is used sensibly and also in the kitchen everything is available that you need for daily needs. We lacked nothing. Konstantinos and Stacey were super sweet in communication and answered all questions quickly. We were also very happy about the lovely welcome with wine, raki and welcome cards - and could directly enjoy a drink in the evening on the balcony. We had a very great stay and would always come again.

The location is stunning. Right on the beach with gorgeous views from the living room and bedrooms!

That was exactly what we were looking for. Quiet, little operation. Original Taberna within walking distance and authentic food. 2 min by car to the supermarket. The apartment is spacious with everything you need. Stelios was waiting for us and explained the way exactly. A small repair would be done right away. We thank you for a nice time and the delicious orange from the associated garden.

The accommodation is of very high quality. Everything is spotlessly clean and it is very spacious and comfortable. The outside is incredible and the photos can’t do it justice. The patio is really comfortable as is the outside dining / bbq area as is the grassy lawned area. A lot of choice as how you want to relax. The nearby beaches are great and there are lots of places to eat nearby. We very much enjoyed Chania which is a short distance away. We drove there but the bus stop is only a couple of minutes walk away from Sandy’s place. We plan to visit Crete again and we will definitely be looking to book Sandy’s Boutique when we do.

Stamatis is the best host we’ve ever encountered at an Airbnb—he personally welcomed us at the door of his place even though we arrived late at night. Had wine, fresh oranges from his trees and coffee for us. He is super knowledgeable of the outdoor activities and gave us great suggestions for restaurants and things to do. He is the epitome of Cretan hospitality. Even meeting us on our last day to hand deliver a jar of honey from his own bees. His home in Fournes feels far away tucked in a quiet old neighborhood, and yet it’s so close to so much to do—the botanical garden and amazing restaurant, the hiking in Lakki, and only 20 min from bustling Chania. Stamatis is beyond special—and anyone would be lucky to stay in his house which has been a part of his family for generations.

I truly recommend staying with Niko in this beautiful villa! The house is very modern, the outside area spectacular and private and the communication with Niko was clear and helpful. The accommodation works for both families and friends. The house is located around 30mins from Chania which is easy to get to by car. Can only recommend renting this villa.

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!

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

It was a perfect place! George and family were very hospitable! Our daughter was even allowed to play upstairs with his children! Apartment was nice, spacious and very clean! With large balconies (with a fantastic view) and a spacious garden that was perfect for our 4 year old daughter. We got lettuce, eggs, sheep's milk and olive oil from the garden. Close to the beach, nice restaurants and hiking trails. Repeatable! We enjoyed :).

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!

The property service team was incredibly helpful. Shout outs to Olga and Petros. Good service, clean property, and beautiful surroundings!

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.

We had a very pleasant stay with our 4 month old baby. The hosts where very accommodating and overall the apartment is well equipped. Location wise its super close to nice beaches and to the lovely villages around Vamos. Also Chania is easily reachable by car. All in all very recommended. Only downside were the sheets, but its typical for greece. I guess we are spoiled with our egyption cotton/satin fitted sheets🤣

We stayed with Evienia for a month with our little baby and had a great time. The apartment is super cozy and has everything you need. The view is fantastic and you can easily explore the west of Crete from here. There is a parking space right in front of the door. Those who like dogs and cats will get their money's worth here ( our baby loved it). You can also keep the four-legged friends away from the terrace with a gate. Evienia is a hearty person and super cook, who is always easily accessible (on request she also offers very tasty breakfast and dinner). It is a good help with the excursion and food selection with lots of tips and recommendations. We felt very comfortable and always happy to come back, hopefully soon.

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,

Beautiful Villa with heated pool which was very pleasant during the slightly colder evenings. Very spacious bedrooms with all separate bathrooms and toilets so we never had to wait for the shower to be free! Superhost with lots of tips for nearby activities and restaurants. Even the refrigerator was filled with some drink and food so we didn't have to go out right away for food. The advocados from Evi her own garden that she had prepared were super tasty. This villa is well worth it.

We booked the villa for a week and were more than satisfied. Perfect communication, easy check-in. The villa has a magnificent location, the house has plenty of space and everything you need. The pool was also very nice. I would especially like to highlight the great service and hospitality of the hosts. Great restaurant recommendations and accessibility. All in all, a great vacation and worth a recommendation.

Great place to relax and enjoy this part of Crete. - the big terrace offers a wonderful view to the sea. Very quiet and peaceful. - the house has all the amenities needed for a comfortable stay. - the communication was one of the best ever met in Airbnb.

We had such a wonderful stay at this beautiful Airbnb. From the moment we arrived, we felt relaxed and right at home. The space was open and comfortable, with plenty of room to unwind. The beds were super cozy, and everything was spotless and well taken care of. The view was absolutely stunning—hands down the best place to watch the sunset. Every evening felt like a postcard moment. And the pool? Truly what dreams are made of. We spent hours there soaking it all in. Our hosts were fantastic—friendly, responsive, and thoughtful. They even left us a lovely welcome gift, which made our arrival feel extra special. Whether we had a question or needed a recommendation, they were always quick to help. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend this place if you're looking for a peaceful, picture-perfect getaway.

We absolutely loved our stay! The location was perfect—just a short walk to great restaurants and a beautiful, warm, shallow beach that was perfect for our family. The house itself exceeded our expectations. It was incredibly spacious and had more bathrooms than any Airbnb we've ever booked, which made a big difference for our large group. The pool was a lot of fun, even without heating, and the jacuzzi was a great bonus. The place was spotless and truly felt like a hidden gem right in the city—hard to believe you can find something this nice in such a convenient location. Nicolas, the host, was fantastic. He provided a helpful written guide and surprised us with several thoughtful freebies. We wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again—highly recommended!

We stayed here 2-9th June I have no negatives to say, Mariam was just amazing. So friendly from the moment we arrived. Her home is absolutely beautiful, yes it was big for us but it had everything we wanted and the price was amazing! We had no issues during our stay, welcomed with a beautiful fruit bowl, water and wine and to top it off when we left Mariam gave us another gift of local olive oil! The tennis court was a good place to allow our toddlers to run around happy, amazing space for the kids to be free and play. We went to the local beach 3 days during our holiday, which was only a 15 minute walk, Mariam provided beach toys, spades, umberella and towels which were all appreciated. We have already said but we would definitely come back here, probably with more family as it is such a big lovely space!

Absolutely incredible stay at the villa very opulent from the minute the gate opens . So spacious,5 of us stayed for 1 week and the villa was just perfect. The outside area was amazing for relaxing wish we could have stayed longer. And will definitely book again with Dimitrios. ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ Thank you
