Holiday rentals with a pool in Aptera

We stayed there during the autumn holidays and can highly recommend the house. Since we had a rental car, the place was easy to reach. You have a private parking space and felt very comfortable and safe, as the houses are additionally secured by a gate. The location is a bit secluded, but very private and quiet. The view of the ocean is breathtaking and the private pool was just great. Everything was sparkling clean, the beds were cozy and the decor in the house perfectly adequate and very modern. A dining table is not available in the house but that didn't bother us in any way, as the weather in October was still so good that we could always eat outside. Maria helped us check in and gave us good excursion tips almost daily and inquired if everything was okay. The photos in the description are true to the original and reflect exactly what you actually find. We were super satisfied

We had a great family holiday in Plakias and its surroundings! Kurt's house is ideally located: quiet, above the village and close enough to the beach. The house is nicely divided and perfect for a family of teenagers. For us, it was the absolute highlight to grill on the roof terrace in the evening and watch the sunset. The pools are super looked after. The kids loved to bathe in the early evening in the autumnal darkness in the large illuminated pool. Kurt is a great host: very nice, attentive, helpful and very easily accessible! Thanks!

We really enjoyed our stay. The accommodation is very lovingly furnished, clean and has a fantastic location right on the beach. The surrounding area is perfect for sightseeing (close to Chania, Aptera) and hiking. The hosts were very easy to reach and very friendly - there were even some Greek delicacies to welcome us. We would love to come back and can highly recommend this place! Thank you very much!

Especially Ourania - Dafnis mother and Malfada (Dafnis dog under the care of Ourania) really made us feel at home. She showed us what Cretan hospitality is including local food. Coming home in the evening and sometimes staying there during the day was always a pleasure - both under the wonderful Maulber tree in the courtyard and in the beautiful house. There were plenty of excursions - beautiful beaches and good food too. Thank you for the lovely stay!

Beautiful villa in a wonderful setting, the outside space is really spectacular. Everything you could need is available at the villa. We were staying with a 10m old and there were loads of baby items which made our trip so much easier. The hosts couldn’t have been nicer or more accommodating and helped us with recommendations when we asked. Would highly recommend this villa. It’s also within easy driving distance to lovely places on the island.

We were a party of five, my wife and I and 3 30 year olds, our two twins and a son-in-law. We all couldn't say enough good things about this home: the view has to be one of the best on the whole island, relaxing, extremely private and immediately felt right at home. Starting and ending each day with that view, I didn't need anything else, but there is as much to do as you want. For example, just 6 minutes down the hill, you have the great little town of Platka with a few delicious local restaurants, market and a nice sports bar if you want a cocktail...like me. Another 10 minutes down the hill you come to Alymrida, the small coastal city that has nearly a dozen varied restaurants right on the water. 40 minutes away is the charming city of Chania, the jewel of Crete. This home is centrally located, 20+ minutes from the highway to go anywhere you wish to go...but keep in mind your leaving this view behind. I hope you enjoy it half as much as we did.

Fabulous house and location. Clean and stylish with very comfortable beds. Very handy for the beach and town and very close to the supermarket. An exceptionally beautiful part of Crete.

The house is simply gorgeous. Our family had a wonderful Christmas holiday here. The host was very generous with items in the refrigerator and a well stocked kitchen. Lots of recommendations of places to eat in the area. Michael met us in the driveway upon arrival and showed us everything in the house, that was very kind. Especially loved access to the washer and dryer because we were traveling with kids. It was too cold to use the pool, but if you are here when it is warm, it would be such delight.

It was super nice here. We were warmly welcomed and communication went smoothly. The place is as shown in the pictures. You are a bit at the mountain up, which is super nice as it is much quieter there. You can walk to town and the beach. We were very satisfied.

Our stay at these apartments was simply amazing! Everything was exactly as pictured, if not better – spacious, beautiful, and stylish, with high ceilings and impeccable cleanliness. The apartment had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Our host, Stamatis, was incredibly friendly and helpful, providing excellent recommendations on where to go and what to buy. There’s a taxi stand and bus stop just steps away, as well as small stores with basic groceries nearby. The beach is only 50 meters across the road, with bars where you can enjoy food and use their sun loungers. There are also wonderful cozy tavernas close by with delicious food. We had a fantastic time and can’t wait to come back!

We booked the apartment 16 days in November, used the kitchen and have been in Chania a lot. On the rainy or cool days it was nice to be in the living room, enjoying the view and relaxing. We really appreciated the proximity to the small but beautiful beaches.

The apartment was well equipped and it was located in a quiet little village. When we arrived, there were already essentials in the fridge which was much appreciated. The apartment was very clean and very well equipped for a short or long stay. The pool was very clean and we had four chairs booked for our place. The sandy and pebble beaches are a reasonable distance from the apartment; there are several to visit in Crete.

We really enjoyed our stay at Alexandros apartment . The garden is amazing & the host is professional & friendly . Alexandros was very helpful with everything we asked . The swimming pool is big & the garden furniture is very cozy . The appartement itself is very functional & only 10/15 mins drive from the old city . We highly recommend it .

The apartment is amazing and very clean, the surrounding is very calm and peaceful. The host is very respectful and very helpful, we had an issue and she was very responsive in fixing the issue immediately without delay. She’s very caring for her quests. Would definitely stay here again.

We spent almost 2 months at the Menelaos and everything was good. The apartment is in a peaceful neighborhood, not far from the center ( ~ 15 minute walking). The place is simple, but it has everything you might need for a longer stay. The outdoor space is very nice, we enjoyed mostly the barbeque as we stayed during the winter, but the pool is definitely worth it during summer time. We both work remotely and never had issues with the internet. For us the place was perfect as you have everything you need at walking distance (gym, weekly farmers market, coffee shops and restaurants, veterinarian etc). Menelaos was available all the time for any question/issue that we had. Definitely recommend the place for longer or shorter stays.

Difficult to find better value than the accommodation offered by Antonia. - Quiet location away from major roads and still close to a village where it is easy to stock up - Cleanliness and comfort of the cottage - Pool available - Small quality family taverna nearby in the village - Kindness from Antonia, the owner We had a pleasant stay. A place that we will recommend to those who want to visit western Crete in good conditions.

Absolutely amazing host and villa. Kosta and his office were brilliant and when we got to the villa we were met by Stella. She could not have done more to make our stay any better; communication was seamless, so many local suggestions, local produce left throughout the stay, the loan of a stoneware pot to use in the pizza oven over tonight to slow cook vegetables, honestly everything and more. The villa is exactly like the photos - stunning. Breath taking location with a view we all miss now we are home. The layout of the villa is excellent; it is beautifully decorated, the outside kitchen area is perfect and much used. The landscaping is wonderful, and the pool is gorgeous. The villa was meticulously cleaned throughout our stay and the pool and garden maintained to the highest standard. We had the most wonderful holiday; thank you so much Stella and your team for everything.

Great week spent just relaxing and had everything we needed. Pool was a great relief to the heat and visiting the local supermarket meant we cooked several times int he bbq and had breakfast looking over the views. Communication was great through out with some good recommendations. Loved that we had a mid week set of new towels / sheets and rubbish removed. It was just what we wanted - relaxed in a lovely location close to amenities . Thank you x

The property is beautiful and location just perfect just a 15mins bus ride to the harbor which is full of nice restaurants and shops etc. The property is a short walk to the beautiful beaches with a few beach bars with nice food and drink and restaurant not far away with very nice food. Thanks Angelos for all the assistance and recommendations of place to go

Great villa with everything you need. It is fairly close to Chania center, about 15/20 minutes by car. The villa was very clean and they even offered us to clean the villa and change towels and bed sheets during our stay. Effie was very welcoming, with some gifts and local products when we arrive and when we left. They were very reactive, and provided with what we needed. For example, they came to give us a baby bed and chair as we did not indicate we were coming with one. The garden is spacious, with some great area to have an aperitif or lunch/dinner: there is a big table in the shadow which is a plus. We strongly recommend and would come back with pleasure.

Absolutely incredible stay at the villa very opulent from the minute the gate opens . So spacious,5 of us stayed for 1 week and the villa was just perfect. The outside area was amazing for relaxing wish we could have stayed longer. And will definitely book again with Dimitrios. ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ Thank you

Enjoyed a beautiful week at Kedros. Perfect location - walking distance to a few stunning beaches, delicious restaurants just down the road, and 5 mins walk from supermarkets. Easy to get the bus to and from Chania old town. Perfect size and set up for 6 girls - would also be great for 3 couples. Loved the pool - it’s bigger than it looks in pics! And the outdoor space was ideal for relaxing in the sun. Mathios was very responsive and friendly whenever we had questions, and gave us recommendations for food, taxi company etc. Wish we could have stayed longer!!!

Manolis is a super host, always available to provide directions to better places to visit on his beloved island, also because they are so many and all beautiful. The Calergi residence is a quiet and well-kept place, the rooms are all air-conditioned, the pool although small still gives you the opportunity to cool off both when you return from the beach and if you want to stay in the room one day. Close to the center of a characteristic village and starting point for every trip you will want to do on the island. Thanks Manolis and see you soon.

There were four of us on vacation in the house as a family. We were totally in love with the house. The surroundings are very quiet and very nice for a relaxing holiday. The house is on the mountain and a car is necessary in any case. We would come back anytime. Communication was quick and easy.
