Huisjes in Aegean Islands

We stayed at Georgia's mansion during our honeymoon at the end of September. The place was large for two people, but we felt like royalty with all of the space :) The mansion is beautifully redone on the inside - it has modern amenities with a traditional aesthetic. The place had absolutely everything we needed in the kitchen, bathrooms, bedrooms, and outside. The pool was wonderful! We spent our afternoons lounging after hot days in Chania and the surrounding areas, which offer lots of restaurants, attractions, and great shopping! The area was great as well - easy to get to, quiet, and with easy access to the main road that can take you east or west in no time :) We highly recommend a stay at this beautifully restored mansion, and we hope to be back ourselves someday!

What a wonderful place to escape to. A beautiful home, amazing views, wonderful pool and hot tub. Very clean and well cared for. Saavas was incredibly helpful and friendly & accommodating. Can’t fault it at all. In fact I feel very lucky to have found these four nights as it’s booked up way in advance normally. A tiny piece of paradise. Taverna was closed next door but that just made it more peaceful (maybe noisier if open but still private) - such an interesting time of year before the season started - watching all the Greeks get everything ready for the season! Pool was cold but the hot tub was amazing and warm so was a great balance. Easter was a lovely time to visit especially as very lucky with the weather. Did get eaten alive the first night so beware of mosquitos but we found the special plugs, & were more cautious after that. Maybe it was early season, maybe the recent rain. Loved the Swallows and house martins that flew over for a period morning and evening Perfect…

Amazing terrace, felt private and had nice views on the sea and mountains. Great communication with the host.

Our stay at Evangelia’s place was easily one of the best experiences I’ve ever had—and I’ve traveled to multiple countries over the past 10+ years! Our host was simply the best I’ve ever encountered. She was kind, friendly, attentive, and always responsive, making sure we had everything we needed for a perfect stay. The place itself was immaculate. The interior was spotless, classic, and so well-maintained. Outside, the views were breathtaking. Each night, we were treated to the incredible sight of the Milky Way, and in the mornings, we had the ocean in clear view and goats greeting us as we enjoyed the delicious breakfast our host generously provided. It was so peaceful and quiet—pure tranquility. I’ve been recommending this place to everyone because it truly was the highlight of my trip. The location was also ideal—conveniently in the middle of the island, making it easy to drive to various spots, nothing too far! You’ll definitely need a rental car though! Book this place!!!!!!

Wir hatten eine wundervolle Zeit in dem Haus und haben uns von Anfang an total wohl gefühlt. Die Umgebung und die Aussicht ist einfach traumhaft. Der Pool ist unbeschreiblich. Es ist wirklich ein toller Ort, um zu entspannen und sich zu erholen. Zunächst wollten wir nur eine Woche bleiben, haben dann aber den Aufenthalt sogar noch verlängert. Dank des tollen Gastgebers war das kein Problem. Vielen Dank für dieses wunderbare Urlaubserlebnis. Wir kommen bestimmt nochmal wieder ;-).

Die Villa liegt wunderschön in einer Sackgasse am Berg des kleinen Örtchens Armenoi. Alles ist prima gepflegt, sauber und stimmungsvoll. Alle Sanitärfunktionen sind sehr gut in Schuss, die Küche gut incl. Spülmaschine ausgestattet und die Schlafbereiche gepflegt. Der Grill hat tadellos funktioniert und Kohle und Anzünder lagen bereit. Die Kommunikation mit Elina war toll, sehr hilfsbereit und aufmerksam. Ein PKW ist unverzichtbar, wenn man mal ans Meer möchte ( 8 min. Fahrzeit nach Kalyves ). Ich würde jederzeit wiederkommen und somit auch besten Gewissens weiterempfehlen.

We had a fantastic week at Anthi's place, we felt completely at home and relaxed for the entire time we were there. Anthi was super friendly and gave lots of recommendations for things to do while we were on Naxos, and was also able to sort our hire car for us in advance. The villa itself was spotlessly clean, really spacious and we had a nice view of the sea/sunset from our pool terrace area. The location is great for exploring Naxos and felt so peaceful throughout the day. We really enjoyed the communal pool area too, which never felt too busy. Breakfasts were delivered each morning by Alexandros - plentiful and delicious, lots of Greek treats! It made for a special start to each day. The villa was cleaned daily to a high standard too. Highly recommended! ☆☆☆☆☆

Un grand merci à Agathi et son papa pour leur accueil. Nous sommes venus en famille (3 générations), et cette maison a fait l’unanimité. Nous avons passé un très bon séjour dans cette belle maison et sa vue à couper le souffle… c’est le lieu parfait pour déconnecter et se détendre. Agathi est très agréable et toujours disponible à n’importe quel moment pour répondre à nos questions et nous porter service. Merci pour tout Agathi ! 🙏🏻🥰🧿

Havre de paix, écrin de verdure, avec superbe vue sur la mer, les îles d'Elafonisos et Cythère. Idéal pour se ressourcer. La petite ville de Néapoli, après plusieurs virages sur une bonne route, offre le nécessaire (magasins d'alimentation, cafés, tavernes, etc). Les conseils de Kimo ont été excellents et les visites de la minette de la propriété ont été empreintes d'affection.

Chryssa’s house was so lovely. The house has a beautiful interior with authentic touch. The area where the house is very quiet and peaceful. The garden of the house also pretty, sunsets are unreal. Having drinks and dinner in the garden is very delightful. If you are looking for a place to feel like a local and just relax, I would highly recommend it. But the island is big and nearest beach 15mins by car so you definitely need a car. Also for groceries you need to have 15 mins drive to the closest super market. You can be prepared that the village is very small and not many amenities. Chryssa was very helpful when I needed help. She was very responsive and friendly anytime I wrote her.

The house and garden is even more beautiful, relaxing and peaceful than the description! John and Maria have been such fantastic hosts, Maria baked us an amazing cake to welcome us, and left us a bottle of local wine which was delicious. Sotiris and John have given us lots of interesting information about things to do and see, they are perfect hosts, very responsive, they are there if you want to ask something or need something but also leave you to enjoy your holiday. There is everything we need, the bed is very comfortable, the house is like home and tasteful, Maria keeps it looking lovely and changes our sheets every week. They have made a paradise, we will come again!

It was my first Airbnb stay with Fehim and Meryem. It’s such gracious hosts and don’t forget to ask them making amazing food with ingredients straight out from the garden backyard. It’s quite a journey to meet such good people regardless of their backgrounds, nationalities or religions, etc. And I am sorry for my terrible singing. I definitely will return to Turkey after the retirement in a couple years. Two thumbs up. With love and regards, Vu Tran.

Absolutely beautiful! We had a wonderful time here, the private beach is outstanding, the accommodation is comfortable, the host is wonderful. Couldn't have been more pleased!

Alekos est un hôte très sympathique, logement très bien situé pour avoir accès aux plages rapidement.

This was our second time staying at the stone house. It’s perfectly located for exploring Almyrida, Gavalochori and surrounding areas. The house is clean and has everything you need for a comfortable stay. Vasilis kindly put a mosquito net above the bed too which made a big difference for our stay this time.

Πανέμορφη και ήσυχη τοποθεσία μέσα στη φύση. Ό,τι πρέπει για ξεκούραση και αποσύνδεση. Το σπίτι είναι πλήρως εξοπλισμένο και περιποιημένο. Ο εξωτερικός χώρος είναι περιφραγμένος αλλά όχι τελείως ιδιωτικός αφού υπάρχει ακόμα ένα σπίτι στο ίδιο οικόπεδο με το οποίο μοιράζονται το πάρκινγκ και την είσοδο. Παρόλα αυτά, η απόσταση μεταξύ των σπιτιών είναι αρκετή και δεν δημιουργεί θέμα στη διαμονή (αν έχεις καλούς γείτονες!). Προτείνεται για όσους αγαπούν τη φύση και εκτιμούν την απομόνωση και το slow living.

We were blown away by the beauty of this place- even more charming than the photos with a very relaxed and authentic ambience. The highlight for us was the rocky beach access to crystal clear water and excellent snorkeling. It’s a bit isolated - which was perfect for us, but extremely well equipped with everything you need for cooking inside and outside! We received a wonderful welcome complete with a large stock of fruits and vegetables. The only downside was it was hard to leave. Thank you for the excellent stay!

Καθαρός, ευχάριστος και ήσυχος χώρος με παραδοσιακά στοιχεία αισθητικής (το οποίο εκτίμησα αρκετά, καθώς σέβεται και αναδεικνύει τον τοπικό χαρακτήρα του νησιού). Η τοποθεσία ήταν αρκετά βολική (τουλάχιστον για όποιον διαθέτει όχημα), καθώς ήταν σε μικρή απόσταση με το αυτοκίνητο τόσο από την χώρα όσο και από το λιμάνι και τις δυτικές παραλίες του νησιού. Η Εύα πολύ διακριτική και φιλική οικοδέσποινα, μας έδωσε σαφείς οδηγίες για να βρούμε το σπίτι και ανταποκρινόταν άμεσα όταν θέλαμε να επικοινωνήσουμε.

La maison de Nikolaos est un petit coin de paradis que nous avons quitté à grand regret. Si vous aimez la nature et les animaux, ce logement est l'endroit idéal, dans un bel environnement très paisible. Nos filles ont passé tout le séjour au fond du jardin où elles s'occupaient de nourrir les animaux (1 chien adorable, 1 lapin, des poules et un coq, et plusieurs chats), de ramasser les œufs fraîchement pondus ou de cueillir les oranges dans le verger pour se presser un jus bien frais. Nous avons apprécié les moments de détente dans ce très beau jardin, entourés d'oliviers, orangers, cactus, citronniers, et massifs de fleurs. La maison est également très bien équipée en produits de base, et la présence de l'air conditionné permet de s'y sentir bien en toute saison (chauffage ou climatisation). Nikolaos est un hôte réactif et accueillant, qui s'est montré très arrangeant lorsque notre avion a été reporté, avec arrivée imprévue en pleine nuit. Nous recommandons ce logement sans hésiter.

Wonderful hosts beautiful place. Feelings of peaceful top/end to the world in their place Romantic sunset on the Mani… Thanks Pietro

Ein wunderbarer Ort direkt am Meer, manchmal ein paar Fischerboote oder Badegäste, manchmal stundenlang niemand, tolle schwimm Möglichkeit und zwei gemütliche Tavernen, 0, 2 und 1,3 km entfernt. Unbezahlbar der Schatten durch die Bäume auf der Terrasse. Sehr gute Kommunikation mit dem Gastgeber und Frau Rodo.

We had a great stay at this cozy Airbnb. Panos allowed us to come quite a bit earlier than check in and greeted us very warmly, he even gave us fresh eggs! The house itself was beautiful, the surroundings were quiet and peaceful with a magnificent view. It had all you could need. You can easily drive to many sites and restaurants. We would happily stay again.

Excellent ! Nous avons passé une super semaine dans le logement de Katerina. La maison est très jolie, dans un environnement paisible. Le jardin est splendide. L'intérieur était impeccable : tout est propre. La cuisine est pratique, et bien fournie en ustensiles de cuisine. La climatisation, la machine à laver sont des plus très appréciés. La localisation est pratique car proche de Kissamos mais au calme, et sur la route des plages du sud. Katerina était facilement joignable. C'était parfait !

The place was peaceful and spotless. Clive is very kind and wonderful, made us feel welcome and at home, and gave us so many good recommendations. The view from the little terrace is beautiful - perfect spot to relax during any part of the day. The little house is cute, lovely and equipped with (literally) everything you may need.
