Smoking-friendly vacation rentals in Rethymno

We stayed here for 4 days and had a great visit! Wonderful and responsive host who provided easy instructions on arriving and even waited up for us as our late night 2200 flight arrived. The place is very well laid out with an amazing view of the water, feels very warm and cozy. Great recommendations and help provided throughout the trip, even allowing us to stay a few extra hours so we can catch our flight out straight from the place. Would give more than 5 stars if I could, this is a wonderful place for a couples’ getaway and we will surely look to stay here again when we return to Chania!

We had a great experience at Maria’s place. The pool was perfect for the days when the sea was dangerous to swim in. The place is clean, very close to the sea, superkmarkets and to an amazing gyros tavern. The cats were also friendly and added some cuteness to our stay. We had everything we needed for a seaside vacation and the greek vibes were immaculate! The sandwichmaker was a game changer for our homemade breakfast :)

We had a great stay at Spyros' apartment! The place is spacious and perfect for groups, with plenty of room for everyone to feel comfortable. The beds were super comfy, and we especially enjoyed relaxing on the large terrace after a day of exploring. The location is ideal—just a short walk to the old town, so we could easily visit all the main attractions. The apartment was very clean and well-equipped with everything you might need, including a washing machine for clothes and even a parking space, which made things super convenient. Spyros was a fantastic host, always quick to help and answer any questions we had. He even left us a thoughtful welcome gift—a bottle of wine and a bowl of grapes, which was such a nice touch. We did have a small issue with the door lock, but Spyros was very responsive and brought us a new key the next day. Overall, we had a lovely time and would definitely recommend this apartment for anyone looking for a great stay near the old town!

We had a lovely stay at Mary’s apartment. Her mother greeted us when we arrived and we were able to have early check in. She had prepared lovely lunch for us and treated us with her lovely food during our stay. Mary provided us many useful tips. The apartment situated in a quiet neighborhood and close to the beach. It was very well equipped. Would love to stay there again!

Holiday home from home. everything good. Vassilis very helpful with lots of good extras in room. Studio clean, bright airy, good WiFi with large kitchen area, Expresso coffee machine. Bathroom a tad small, but works. Sleep quiet with shutters closed, Beach 5 minutes walk. Bus stop to Heraklion and airport 3 minutes. Private parking space. Thank you for a lovely stay and wish you good season. Margaret, Babis

Nice apartment, very nicely decorated with retro stuff (e.g. computer games). Spic and span, very cozy bed, spacious balcony, everything essential within walking distance. George is a great host, always responded very quickly to requests and gave us many helpful recommendations. Will come again any time

Really as good as it can get. A well equipped, clean, stylish, and cozy apartment, surrounded by a beautiful garden with citrus trees and a nice view. Paired with a fair price this already easily justifies a 5/5. However, what made this experience really stand out was the host: Giannis made us feel right at home and his cuddlesome dog Hamlet took our hearts by storm.

We spent a few nights in the apartment. It was perfect, the kitchen was very well equipped and you could actually cook (have never experienced this so well before), the beach location super, the contact with Zabia extremely friendly and uncomplicated. There were cute cats that visited us on the large roof terrace. We would definitely recommend the place.

House Liberty is a fantastic place. We rested for 5 days as if for 2 weeks :) Eleftheria is an extremely hospitable person, she welcomed us with a delicious meal she prepared herself. We will remember our stay very fondly and we already miss Dhrimiskos.

We had a great stay at Michalis'! The location of the property is ideal, with beautiful views and a quiet environment. Michalis and his son welcomed us warmly, even though we arrived a little later because we had taken the more beautiful route through the city of Rethymno. A carafe of raki and chilled water were waiting for us as a welcome – a very nice gesture from Michalis. We especially enjoyed breakfast on the balcony, overlooking the Cretan sea and surrounded by chickens, ducks, cats and the friendly dog Bruno. Our son was thrilled and would have liked to take all the animals with him! The house itself is large, cozy and perfectly equipped and we felt completely comfortable. Michalis' father even surprised us with fresh eggs, a really loving touch. Overall, this place is a place to relax and enjoy. We will be happy to come back. Absolutely recommended!

Beautiful Cretan style stone walls home with incredible scenery, close to the beach and surrounded by ancient olive groves.

I would give this place 10 stars if I could. If you aren’t sure if you should stay here or not, I promise you will love the place. It’s beautiful and the host was there to help me and answer questions. He even came to meet me when I got lost so I could follow him to the house! The inside of the house is absolutely gorgeous. The host left us inside enough food, snacks, and beverages to last a week, which was such a pleasant surprise. I recommend renting a car as access to the city is not within walking distance but even in the neighborhood there are two small restaurants and a little convenience store practically right outside the gates of the house. Heraklion is fun and Crete is a beautiful place to rent a car and visit sites. Even balos beach is doable in one day from there if you plan ahead. Then there are other beaches much closer and easier like Voulisma to the east. Or you can take a beautiful drive through the mountains and eat a great with w a view. Much to do! House is perfect!

Great view from the balcony and very quiet. The location was great with beautiful roads around and nice beaches close by. Christos was always very responsive and helpful.

Loved the location, the home and Matala overall. Very special place. There is a good hike to get to the house. So I f you are not in the fittest you may not enjoy the leg workout. Can’t wait to go back.

This is a great place to stay. Very private. Clean comfortable. Daniela and Kosta are there for any questions. We had a great time and will be returning next year!!! Highly recommend!!

We had a very plesant stay at the house. Really calm and with the best view you can imagine. Everything was super in order. The house is spacious and neat. Just walk down the garden and you are at the beach !! We've enjoyed the compagny of the cretan cats. Feels like like coming home at Katherina's place. Katherina asked us many times via messages if all was okay, wich it was. And we had the pleasure of meating her husband. Very kind people.

Great location! Very responsive and accommodating host. The place is perfect for large group stays.

Cosy, clean and simple with a very friendly host. Perfect place to stay and use as a base to explore the West-side of Crete 😊

Argyri and her husband were the best hosts I've ever stayed with, and the apartment was absolutely flawless: excellent location, close to the old city, restaurants and the beach The apartment had absolutely all the facilities: there was nothing we needed and not exist in the home. Furnished modernly and with great taste, the apartment is bright and welcoming, with a large terrace where you can drink coffee in the morning or a glass of wine in the evening. The hosts welcomed us with a cake, with fruits, wine and juices in the fridge, and upon departure they gave us local honey. Very friendly, they spent time with us and explained to us the best places to eat, what to visit around the city and in the city. it was everything I could have wished for and I can't wait to come back for a much longer period with my daughter. Argyri and Valadis, greets from Bucharest and thank you very much for everything

We really enjoyed being guest at Dimitris place. The apartment is very cosy and welcoming. The kitchen was very well equipped (oil, vinegar, spices, sugar, coffee).

Studio well located in Rethymno downtown convenient to explore the city by foot. If having a car, parking can be found in the square. Quiet neighbourhood overnight. Best souvlaki restaurant/take out nearby. Giorgos is a very gentle and accessible host. Thank you for everything!

The apartment is very nice! The location is centrally located in almyrida. You can look at the sea from the balcony. I can only recommend!

The location is excellent for exploring the city on foot while being a little off-center from the disturbances of beachfront bars and restaurants. Welcome and professionalism of the host, you can go there with your eyes closed!

Beautiful view from the balcony. Visible sunrise to sunset. You can sit in the sun all day on the balcony overlooking a few unusual mountains, without houses, only pure nature. With a few chickens and geese. Very lovely.
