Vacation rentals in Stavrakia

A nice and central place to stay! The host has been very accommodating. I recommend visiting Sarantari beach which is within walking distance.

We spent 4 days in this place which is much more than an "airb&b". Here, the setting is fantastic, in the olive fields, super central to visit the north of the island, close to Karteros where you will find some local shops. In addition to all these qualities, you will find here the soul of a real family home where you can only feel.... spacious, cozy, clean and very well-equipped everything is perfect. Many thanks to hosts who have done everything that these few days go as smoothly as possible.

Great location situated between the lively Chersonissos and the more quiet Koutouloufari. Best place to relax with your privat pool, and the best host Izabela.

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

We were two families with two children and spend a week in Lena’s house. The villa is specious and comfortable. Pool was nice and clean. The house is in a remote location so you do need a car for everything, but you are in a less touristy and quiet spot of Crete and you can reach most of the top attractions within an hour drive. It’s about 15min drive to the nearest beach and 45min to Rhetymno town. It’s also easy to go to the mountains.

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.
