Holiday rentals near Folklore Museum

The villa itself was just perfect, all amenities and the check-in with Giannis was straight forward. Some places of the Villa are a bit tired but the ability to log onto Netfiix or jump in the private pool made it a simply perfect place to spend time with friends. All the restaurants are in walking distance, however we preferred the ones along the beach seemed to be less ‘Brits abroad’ and more contemporary. For quick and easy break we would recommend

This place is beautiful, such a good find! We will absolutely be staying again. The terrace gets the sun right up until about 5pm (June) and its lovely and private. The accommodation itself is SPOTLESSLY clean, one of the best I've ever stayed in. Communication with the host was fantastic including during a hiccup we had with our keys late at night. Such a great stay, cannot recommend enough!!

Friendly hosts, good communication at all stages, lovely location, description accurate. Close to all amenities and beaches.

What an amazing holiday in beautiful accommodation, with a fantastic host in Jules, helped by Misha & Fig. The holiday was perfect from start to finish (Apart from a slight mishap on night one! Sorry Jules!). The accommodation has an incredible view, which changes hour by hour and is really quite breathtaking. The pool is fantastic and the apartment spacious and very well fitted out.

This really was a most magical stay. The location and setting of the property are breathtakingly beautiful. The apartment has everything you need and was spotlessly clean. The view from the apartment stretches directly across the infinity pool seamlessly blending with the sea below. That is quite something to wake up to! The outside terrace is huge and totally private. The pool is a perfect size and at this time of year we opted to have it heated - which was well worth it. Check in and out were easy as the owner, Stavia provides a very comprehensive info document and responded to any queries (eg directions to places) quickly. The weather was utterly glorious apart from one day of blustery winds. We cannot recommend the property highly enough - and we can’t wait to be back.

Kostas’ Villa in Arvi is on the south coast of Crete and is an extremely short drive (less than 2 minutes) from a small village with what seemed had little to no tourism; you feel immersed in life with the locals. It’s a sleepy village with not much going on. The Villa is an hour and a quarter from Heraklion airport via some very windy roads so not for the faint hearted. The views on the way are spectacular so better to get a flight that lands you during daylight hours. The Villa is at the foot of a mountain and is entirely private, nestled in its own garden with electric gates that make you feel even more private from the odd person passing down the dust track that passes the Villa. We arrived late in the evening and were warmly greeted by Kostas and his wife (and two cats!) who had generously stocked the kitchen with food, water and wine to get us started. The house was spotlessly clean. Our favourite off-the-beaten-track beach was Stuoros Beach just 25 minutes away. The small coastal town of Myrtos was a wonderful more touristy place but still super peaceful. Be prepared to drive a lot to discover places so a hire car is a must. We highly recommend staying here if you are looking to be away from the busy tourist spots. It’s the perfect place to relax, read, swim and recharge.

A group of 3 villas, all with fantastic views but where we stayed very comfortable and clean with fantastic help from Despina as well as some very yummy home cooked food brought to us. Lots of advice given on area and a minor issue we had was resolved above and beyond. We’d love to stay again!

Rebecca was really responsive and answered any questions. Her recommendations when we arrived of places to eat etc were fantastic. We have rented many properties and this was an excellent one and the whole process was easy and professional.
