Antonis’s place exceeded expectations in every way. Our host, George (father of Antonis) greeted us with wine, treats, welcoming words, and two adorable dogs - we felt at home and began relaxing immediately. The grounds were even better than the photos - the house is spacious, comfortable, gorgeous. The upstairs veranda overlooking the sea was a highlight - a perfect spot for morning yoga and evening stargazing. We kept discovering new wonders - the trail to the beach through the olive trees, vegetable garden, exquisite woodwork and masonry; not to mention the incredible views of mountains, meadows, and sea. The sound of the waves all night was a beautiful lullaby. The village is very quiet in early April when we were there. Nothing was open so we brought in all of our supplies, which was good because once you’ve made it down the mountain, you’ll want to stay put until it’s time to leave. - no quick trips into town from there! Def bring a sturdy vehicle! Can’t wait to go back!

Great and cosy stone house, makes you feel very welcome in a cute greek village. Location of Gerani is great and in good approximity to Episkopi beach and Rethymno. Has all amenities one can expect from a house someone actually lives in. plus Eleni and her Son are very nice. Keep in mind it's a small bed (firm yet comfortable). Directly park at the parking lot by Staras Tavern though, it is directly next to the house. All in all one of the few good and authentic airbnb experiences.

Lovely neat little apartment in a busy area but high enough up to not be too noisy. The lift is a real bonus, and it’s close to everything! Perfect for 2, I wouldn’t want to fit 4. Huge balcony with plenty of shade works beautifully as an extra room. We had lots of problems with the Wi-Fi but the hosts were very responsive and had it fixed fairly quickly, though it did end up very slow. I’d recommend and would stay again.

A really great apartment, super close to the beach (aprox 50m), close to supermarkets, restaurants, bars. Everything you need is a few min away. The apartment was delivered super clean, in the fridge I had a cold bottle of water and a bottle of apple juice, fruits on the table and butter&honey. Christos was very proactive, I locked myself out of the apartment (closed the door with the key inside 🤦🏻), I wrote him on airbnb and he was there in 10 min to help me out. Overall, a great place to stay in Rethymno and a super host !!!

We had a very fun and pleasant stay. The villa owner was caring and took care of everything we needed. We are kosher keepers and he took care of everything we will need even on Shabbat. We would definitely recommend to our friends to come and enjoy the unforgettable experience.

I would recommend this Property and our Host. Everything was as indicated in listing. But, our host went above and beyond with his quick response to our questions and perfect recommendations for restaurants and things to see. When he stopped by for a casual visit we felt like old friends and we are lucky enough to have a new friend now!! His wife was kind enough to make us zucchini patties that we delicious! thank you!

Very nice and cozy place, very quiet and private. Giorgos is a great host, very helpful, always available and he helps with everything

The place is fantastic, and just like in the photos - a villa in the mountains with a beautiful view, in great condition with plenty of amenities, everything was clean and design was tasteful and spacious. It's just a 15 minute drive to Heraklion or 5 minutes to the closest convenience store, and Theo was incredibly helpful, form navigating us to the area to helping us make dinner reservations to some restaurants, and was always available. Perfect location, perfect service. Miss that place already!
