House holiday rentals in Vathianos Kampos

We enjoyed a fantastic four days in Aris’ place, the views of the plateau and mountains are just beautiful! We felt right at home, and it was lovely to have Aris and his wife physically there at check in, a rarity these days! The images really don’t do this place justice, it is up some winding roads but we were prepared for that having visited the plateau in 2012. We can’t recommend staying here more, we really wish we’d have booked a longer stay! Aris had a fantastic hire car recommendation too, which was also great, and we had some amazing recommendations from them too. Thank you very much Aris!

The villa was just as described. Great location, walkable to the beach and close to bars and restaurants yet still private. We were able to check in early and were met by Maria’s family and all the amenities were explained well. Maria checked in with us regularly and came to clean during our stay. We even locked ourselves out and Maria was very helpful in getting us back in. Check out was also very smooth and easy. Overall a great stay and would recommend it to anyone and everyone!

We can highly recommend this accommodation. It's tucked away in a very secluded spot, which makes it wonderfully peaceful. At the same time, you can reach restaurants and a mini market in just a few minutes. A car is essential! The garden is stunning. The biodiversity is incredible. There's always something new to discover. The house is quite small and simply furnished, but that was absolutely fine. Everything was clean, and that's what matters most. The long driveway leading to the house can be a bit intimidating—it just slopes down without any railing or guard. But that’s just part of the Cretan charm. Giannis was always very friendly and helpful—thank you for everything! We also got to know the neighboring family and even visited them. Such kind people. And the animals! Aphroditi the horse, a peacock, chickens, and turkeys—our daughter loved them. Overall a great experience. We were very happy and would definitely recommend it. Who knows—maybe we’ll be back in a few years!

We came 5 people - my husband and I, with our 2 children and my mother-in-law. First of all, a few days before we arrived Elena (an amazing woman with a perfect english) contacted me and made sure she has all the details so she can prepare a perfect stay for us. The house was super clean and equipped, and the outside was the best! We spent hours in the pool enjoying the amazing nature around us. Elena and her husband Yiorgos are wonderful people - they were very kind, caring and responsive. We wish we could come again next summer 🙏🏻

My group of 8 had a blast at the Gregory Villa. Nice and spacious backyard area that is perfect for relaxing, and plenty of interior space to accommodate all of us. Celine was one of the most attentive and communicative hosts I’ve ever had, offering us tons of recommendations for things to do during the day (and even booking them for our group) as well as providing us with transfer services all throughout the Heraklion area. Highly recommended and hope to return another time!

We stayed in the villa four. Both bedrooms very comfortable. A/C is available in every room. A very lovely surprise from the host was that there were meals and drinks in the fridge for visitors and also fresh fruit/veggies. To make sure it's comfortable to enjoy a vacation and get around the island, it's a good idea to take a rental car, but with that, the host, Manoli, was happy to help. At the same time, the nearest beach, grocery store, bus stop and restaurant are 10min walk away. The hosts Daniela and Manolis are very friendly and helpful to make the holiday a great time. We definitely recommend the stay we 100% gave to everyone! If we had to visit Crete again, we'd definitely choose the same place to stay. 😊☀️

We had a super time with Stefani and Antonis. The villa is super, the pool was warm, the area quiet, and the view down to Herssonios and out right to the mountains was lovely. We chose it because it was walking distance to some shops and restaurants. The village is lovely and a short 5-10min walk from the villa. We were at the very end of the season, so many of the restaurants in the village closed, but we always found somewhere to eat. Herssonios is a longer walk away (maybe 30 mins) and has supermarkets, pharmacies, and restaurants galore, even after the season ended. We found the walk downhill to the town, and back uphill to the village fine, even with 2 kids. Herssonios itself didn’t hold much charm for us, but we found a taxi to Agios Nikolas (delightful), Heraklion’s museum (more engaging for us than the Athens archeological museum), and Rethimno (lovely old town, laneway cafes, long stretch of beach) filled enough of our days. And with a heated pool to return to, no complaints.

The pictures do not adequately capture the beauty of this place. We loved staying at Eleftherio’s home. They warmly greeted us and quickly made us feel like family. They treated us to many goodies and the house was perfectly ready for us. Modern upgrades throughout, wonderful spa like showers. The best though- The views of the mountains are breathtaking. We also loved visiting the village. The tavern gernios is not to be missed. There is a cafe, bakery, grocery and playground about a 12 minute walk away. Such a peaceful beautiful place- we did not want to leave.

Absolutely fantastic place to stay. Plenty of cafes and restaurants around the area and very close to Heraklion so easy to get around. Overall extremely affordable and as described with a very responsive host. I would definitely stay again and recommend completely.

The place is exactly like in the photos and Anna is a great host! We had a great time staying there for our girls trip. The place is 5-7 min by foot to the sea and nearest beach & restaurants. Anna was always very kind and responsive when we needed to reach out to her for any questions. I recommend this place to everyone and will stay there again the next time I’m in Crete.

It was a very pleasant stay. Appartement was neat and everything was there that you need. The first day the appartement was a bit difficult to find, but Konstatinos reacted immediatly with the right location. He welcomed us and showed everything in the appartment. There was a possibility to get the appartment cleaned in the middle of our stay. That was very nice. The beach was 5 minute walk. A lot of restaurants and beachbars to choose from. Check-out was also very easy. In front of the building there is a free, large parking space, sometimes you have to wait a couple of minutes before there was a free spot, but overall we had a spot most of the time. We highly recommend this appartment!! Thank you for this pleasant stay!

I stayed with my wife and in-laws for three nights. The home was spacious and we enjoyed having the extra room. Thomais left us some treats in the fridge. A great home base. Note the beds are the firm side. The main living area has Air Conditioning but the upstairs bedrooms did not.

We had an absolutely fantastic stay at Manoli’s! The house was stunning, nestled in a beautiful village that made our two-night stay even more special. The property was fully equipped with everything we needed, making it feel like a home away from home. The host was excellent, maintaining great communication. We also loved the nearby restaurant, which was superb and added to the overall experience. We truly had a great time and would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a relaxing getaway!

The location is special, we celebrated it. Beautifully located. Totally quiet and a little off the beaten path. We were feeling absolutely safe. The local restaurants were just open at the beginning of May - it's village-like. Car is necessary. The prices fair, the people friendly. Visiting free-living cats. A cat has born her kittens near the accommodation and feels part of the house. The first micromarket is 5 minutes away, in Gazi (10 min) there are larger shopping opportunities. The bathroom is small and like everything about the house lovingly designed. From the height of 180 cm, the use of the toilet requires some flexibility because of the legroom. The house is a dream if you want to relax and come down.

Great location, comfortable space, parking was available just outside of the apartment all but once. The kitchen was well equipped and the apartment layout works well.

We visited the house with my husband and my 1.5 year old son and had a great time at Stellina's spotless house! The amenities were exactly what you would ask for on vacation, and the host was cheerful, and I really appreciated the fact that we could find her so we needed it. She was prompt and welcoming. We will definitely visit Stelina again after we already booked our vacation for the summer! We're all looking forward to it!! Thanks for everything Stelina!!

beautiful very spacious apartment and beautiful view of the sea and the island opposite. The accommodation is well equipped and the owner thought of making the stay as pleasant as possible. there was nothing missing (toilet paper, cotton swabs, olive oil, sugar, coffee, rusks, jam and so on...). only downside: there is no washing machine but a dishwasher, I think it is a bad translation! in case of problems, the owner is very responsive and very quick. we loved our stay and for sure we will be back with great pleasure.

Super host with a lovely place and beautiful view. Provided us with a lot of yummy goodies and taking. A real cretan hospitality. We will recommend his beautiful place 100%.

This place is close to good beach. Very calm and it is has everything one needs

Apartment was great, spacious and really nice outdoor area. Never a problem finding parking across the street, which made the location very good. Close to grocery store and some good restaurants, recommend trying Kontra Flokos right down the street. Yiannis is a very friendly host and answers quickly any questions you might have. Would absolutely stay here again.

Nikos was an out standing host - the property was second to none - really pleased I stayed - if I ever go back to Crete, I will definitely stay at this property - thanks again Nikos for being so friendly and helpful, bo5h you and your wife - by far the best Airbnb I've ever stayed at.

I would happily recomend to every one whishing to stay in Iraklio

We had a fantastic stay at Izabela beautiful apartment and will def come again and have already recommended it to friends and family
