Vacation home accommodations in Rethymno

Our discovery in Akoumia of a great Greco-Cretan family moved us. This is Dimitra and Costas. The reception was beyond our expectations. We found a place with everything you need when we arrived: kitchen, bathroom, sleeping, bath towels... The food taken from the restaurant, managed by Dimitra, comes from the farm-culture-breeding (goats, sheep), managed by Costas. It's organic. Here's what we find: wine, raki, goat milk, meat, vegetables... healthy quality products. Dithyrambic is the word not usurped. Akoumia is a typical Cretan village. 3 churches in a 200-meter course! A car is necessary for visiting, shopping. The beaches, very pretty, are twenty minutes away. We lived in a novel by Kazantsakis the Greek. Thank you so much to Dimitra and Kostas We highly recommend this place to stay.

Great place to enjoy a peaceful time. Mountain views and swimming pool as a bonus. The location is close to the highway and ~1h away from diverse natural sceneries and cities. A car is needed to go about, Internet is not the best but OK when it worked, the sewage can also let some unwanted smells out but not a terrible thing considering that you are in a cottage in the middle of the forest like Hill. Overall the place is recommended!

An enchanting accommodation in a beautiful and peaceful location. We found very sweet people in the other two houses, and the tables outside and poolside provided a perfect space to have great breakfasts and day-long relaxing chat with each other. The relative isolation of the location provides tranquility and allows you to admire a million stars at night. At the same time, in just 5' by car you reach the village of Vamos where you can find minimarkets, great tavernas and also a great cafeteria/breakfast place (the Ano Kato). Mikela - the host - can be contacted in a matter of minutes and is very helpful. We hope to come back in this magical place at some point in the future.

Relaxing and clean, nearby to the towns and restaurants.

We felt very comfortable in Emmanouil's place! The week was great, everything was very clean and familiar. Emmanouil's mother lives in the building and was super sweet and friendly and the answers to messages always came immediately. As a small farewell greeting, yesterday we got Greek dumplings filled with cheese - we were really very happy! :)

A lovely place to stay. Very pretty and quiet with a super host. Thoroughly recommend

very happy with my stay in Matala!! I could hear the waves from my apartment, it was right in the center and clean. also extremely nice hosts, they even offered me a ride to the next town! only minus is that there was no water for a day due to construction work, which was not communicated, but other than that great stay, would do again

What a perfect spot to spend holiday! It was very hard to leave this incredible place. This airbnb has provided us with the best holiday memories. We could not have asked for a better holiday home. Nectarios is such a kind and helpful host all the way through, very hospitable! Aptera was the perfect spot for us to spend a vacation on Crete. Easy to reach every place on Crete with a car, and the local tavernas just a short walk from the house provided us with a perfect local feeling. We hope to be back one day!

We had a wonderful stay, there was plenty of space, 2 terraces to sit and a large pool. The hosts were very attentive, super friendly and available at all times. The house could be a little quieter for us, but the view of the sea is priceless 😀

Lovely villa , great new pool , walking distance to supermarkets and restaurants,good position for visiting Chania and Rethimno.Excellent host ,very attentive and kind ,would definitely recommend

Top location, 200m from beach, 1km from super markets tavernas and pharmacies, best place for vacations, very friendly staff and neighborhood! I'll visit again in the future for sure!

A very beautiful and comfortable apartment, well designed as a space both internally and externally, with nice decor. Perfect location, with great ease of parking. The hospitality is great, I would love to stay there again, I highly recommend it.

We had a very nice stay. The 2-story apartment has a lot of charm and is located on the edge of an old mountain village, beautiful! There are great restaurants in the village or down on the beach. You need a car to explore the great surroundings.

Lovely stay at Fotinis House, house is lovely, good distance from beaches at Matala, various hikes and well situated in a nice village with amenities (petrol, shops, restaurants). Host was amazing - we arrived late and he had stocked the fridge with essentials for us in case we needed anything that night. Would highly recommend- wonderful stay!

We had the most amazing experience staying at this Airbnb! The house was absolutely stunning with breathtaking views that made every morning special. It was beautifully maintained and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. What truly set this place apart, though, were the incredible hosts. They went above and beyond to make sure our trip was perfect. From arranging convenient transportation from the airport in Heraklion to renting us their car—which was spotless and ideal for exploring Crete—everything was seamless and stress-free. Their warmth and hospitality made us feel right at home, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend this place to anyone visiting Crete. We can’t wait to come back!

Love staying here… it just has what we need. A bed, a toilet and a fridge mainly! And a few steps to the beach. So many local places to eat.
