Kid-friendly holiday rentals in Chania

We thought it wasn't easy to pick a place in Chania, but Ioannis' place was a perfect choice. Located right across the street from a nice beach it was ideal for our small family. Ioannis let us check in early and despite not meeting him in person during check-in, we felt warmly welcomed. Everything we needed was there and he even left us fruit, water and chocolate, which was a nice touch. It was very child friendly and even had some beach toys and games. Warmly recommending it and would return - it's a true gem. Also, thank you for the assistance during our stay and the personal recommendations.

I spent 5 nights here with my mother and 10 year old daughter, and I have not one negative comment…the house is better than pictures! The beautiful gardens give it a feel like being in a movie, and there is beautiful beach literally a few steps outside the house. There is lots of great restaurants and supermarkets within walking distance. We rented a car, but if you plan to just relax and stay close by, you don’t need one. There is also a bus that you jump on to take you to Old Chania. This place is perfect for families with young and older children. And it’s so comfortable you will not want to leave. Natalia, is so kind and sweet, and is near by should you need anything.

This is such a cozy and comfy place. Beautifully decorated and sparkling clean - you almost don't want to disturb the perfection! The beds, the massive couch in the living room are all very comfortable so we woke up every morning well rested. We found everything we needed in the kitchen and in the bathroom (the latter was stocked with soaps, shampoos and creams). There is a small outdoor space , which we made use of for afternoon drinks and breakfast. Thr place is not right next to the old city, but the parking prices are very reasonable so we just drove in and parked at a big municipal parking. The place is also great as your base for day trips around the island. Our hosts were amazing, upon arrival we found fruit, wine, bread and Michalis popped in with a plate of freshly picked strawberries. Evelina gave us lots of tips on what to do and see - all great ideas. We had a great time and highly recommend the Violin House.

Stella was always helpful, promptly giving excellent advice when asked. The apartment is right in the heart of the old Venetian port area - there is a buzz around the place, with plenty of opportunity to watch street life. As for the apartment itself: impeccably clean: a great use of the limited space: quirky loft bed with its sturdy, smooth, wooden steps: the turning marble stairway, leading down to the hallway: its two balconies, giving a view of two streets: equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable week’s stay: tastefully, simply and thoughtfully furnished and decorated.

La maison de Manolis est superbe, tout correspond parfaitement aux photos. C’est un endroit paisible et dans lequel on veut rester longtemps. Manolis est également un hôte très réactif et très bien organisé. Je recommande très fortement !!

This was one of the best houses I stayed in - really modern and great internal design. The two bathrooms are a rarity in Greece and we were really happy that we had them. We enjoyed the very comfortable beds and the pillows. A fully equipped kitchen was also a nice element to the perfect stay. Need to know that the village is on a hill and there is a narrow cobbled street (no direct access by car), but there is a small parking about 150m away from the house.

Tämä kohde on todellinen aarre: terassi ja piha, avarat näkymät merelle ja erityisesti Nikoksen kädenjälki rinteen puutarhassa aina rantaan asti. Jos nautit omasta rauhasta ja luonnosta, tämä paikka on sinun. Kaikessa henkii kreeetalainen, paikallinen kulttuuri. Nikos ja hänen tyttärensä Eleni olivat hyvin avuliaita, jos heräsi jokin kysymys tai tarve. Läheistä kalaravintolaa pitää kalastajan perhe, nautimme kovasti hyvästä, tuoreesta kalaruoasta.

Grazie Batilas family! Siamo stati benissimo a casa vostra, tutto era perfetto per le nostre esigenze, avendo 4 bambini. La casa è fornita di tutto quello che serve, pulita, con un bellissimo spazio esterno. Vicinissima alle spiagge della zona, comoda per raggiungere a piedi il villaggio accanto. Se torneremo a Creta sicuramente sapremo già dove prendere la casa! Grazie ancora!! Marta, Gabriele, Pietro, Niccolò, Sofia e Alessandro

Alkis is a super friendly host, and always responds so quickly. Once I didn’t know how to use the washing machine, he came in person just in five minutes! Also he gave me so many recommendations for local cuisine and tourist attractions. The apartment is well maintained and is in a rather perfect location, 10-15 minutes’ walk to the heart of the Old Town, and 1 minute’s walk just to the beachside. The parking place is easier to find compared to the old town, so it’s more friendly to self-drivers. Overall, highly recommended.

Excellent appartement avec terrasse à deux pas de la mer. Le logement est d'une propreté inégalée et il y a tout ce qu'il faut pour les bébés. L'emplacement est très calme tout en étant idéalement placé à moins de 5minutes des commerces, restaurants et plages. Lilian est très réactive et à été d'une grande aide lorsque nous avions besoin d'elle. Nous recommandons fortement !

l'appartamento era veramente carino , l'unica pecca era troppo vicino alla strada e si sentivano parecchio i rumori delle auto inoltre sull'appartamento sotto di noi ma questo sicuramente non c'entra con i proprietari , c'erano tre ragazzi che hanno rotto le palle tutta la notte fino alle 2:00 di mattina proprio dei maleducati sapendo che ci sono degli altri inquilini ..... Ecco lì si vorrebbe un po' più di attenzione da parte dei proprietari magari con un cartello o altro che indichi gli orari del silenzio .....

This place was perfect for two travellers given the exceptional location and beautiful water front. Owners were very helpful and responsive to our needs. The bus service was right across the apartment which was very convenient! Breakfast was included at the restaurant across the street which was also a great addition to the trip. The only downside was the few ants found in the bathroom, other than that, this place was great and we would definitely stay here again.

We were very happy with our choice of this ground floor apartment. It had everything we needed (as listed). Maria, Nancy’s mum lives in the same building and was always at hand to help and advise. She made our stay special. Fruit, bottled water and juice was left as a welcome gift and she brought a delicious meal around for us one evening. The apartment is a 5 minute walk from a picturesque beach and harbour with many restaurants. We liked this area better than any other we visited although Chania Old Port and town is delightful and a 15 minute walk along the seafront. The bus station is a 10 minute walk away. There is a mini market, bakery, butcher, fishmonger and vegetable shop just around the corner which is very convenient. Thanks Maria for your kindness and generosity.

our stay way great! The place was spotless, the hostess was friendly and showed us around, the description of the apartment was exactly as described. From our apartment 5 we could even see the Sea which was a nice extra.

The location was great and the room was clean. Eleni is great host as well .She was very friendly and I strongly recommend this room.

If I could give this place ten stars I would. The location was amazing. Right in the old town with a gorgeous view over the harbour. There were restaurants and shops all around us but the place was so quiet. This apartment was really spacious and renovated to a very high standard. Everything we needed was in the apartment. The view from the balconies was superb. We really didn’t want to leave and anyone looking for amazing accommodation, this is for you. The hosts were very easy to contact and very helpful at all times.

Dimitris place was such a great find! It was easily walkable to Old Town and the beach. Not too far from the airport by taxi and lots to do everyday! Super great communication and friendliness also! I highly recommend!

Es war super schön hier. Wir wurden herzlich empfangen und die Kommunikation verlief reibungslos. Die Unterkunft ist wie auf den Bildern. Man ist ein bisschen am Berg oben, was super schön ist, da es dort viel ruhiger ist. In die Stadt und zum Strand kommt man super zu Fuß. Wir waren sehr zufrieden.

We have stayed here for a week. The host is very responsive. The apartment has everything you need, central and beautiful. We would stay at this apartment again.

Ich hatte einen wunderbaren 12-tägigen Aufenthalt in der Wohnung. Die Lage ist toll - nur ein paar Meter vom Strand entfernt und trotzdem 15 Minuten bis zur Altstadt. Einchecken mit schlüsselbox und Beschreibung war super einfach. Der Gastgeber hat immer extrem schnell geantwortet. Und ich meine wirklich schnell- ich habe nie länger als ein paar Minuten auf eine Reaktion gewartet. Er hat mir mit allen Fragen und Anliegen geholfen und mir sogar einem Regenschirm ausgeliehen und eine Yogamatte für meine Zeit besorgt. Wirklich sehr hilfsbereit und immer zur stelle! Die Wohnung ist gemütlich. Das Bett ist sehr bequem (das finde ich immer wichtig!). Das Sofa ist schon etwas durchgesessen - aber es hat mich nicht gestört. Die Küche ist ganz gut ausgestattet. Es gibt einen richtigen Herd, Toaster, Wasserkocher und Mikrowelle (die ich aber nicht benutz habe). Der Balkon ist groß und man hat morgens bis zum frühen Nachmittag sonne. Auf dem 2. Balkon gibts auch noch eine Waschmaschine!

We had a lovely stay in Chania. Chrysa's apartment is in an excellent position - very close to the old town and within walking distance of amenities. The apartment has everything you need for a self-catering holiday. It is very comfortable and clean. Chrysa is an excellent host. She helped us with car hire and suggested places to visit and eat on a trip to Peliochora. It was lovely to meet up with her during our stay. I would thoroughly recommend this apartment and would happily stay there again.

My family and I spent 6 days in Chania, our stay was very pleasant and comfy. The apartment is spacious, clean, and has everything you need for a good holiday. The location is great, only a 5’ walk from the bus station and 15’ to the old harbour. There are plenty of coffee shops, bakeries (you must try their bougatsa), supermarkets, and shops nearby. The apartment is on the 4th floor with a lift from the 1st floor, although you still have to take the stairs to reach the lift. Keep this in mind when bringing luggage or if you're travelling with elderly people (wasn’t a problem for me, even though I’m 8 months pregnant, and for my in-laws). Parking can be tricky if you want to leave your car on the street, but there are some private parking a few blocks away, which I think is a more sensible option if you are renting a car and don't want any surprises. Overall, we enjoyed Sofia’s place and highly recommend it if you want to have a great time in Chania

The apartment is wonderful. Great location to old town and the beach. The hosts have thought of everything someone would need for a stay in Chania with family. There was plenty of space for the 8 of us. Would highly recommend if coming with a large family/multiple families or large group.

E' stata una piacevole esperienza, l'host è cordiale e simpatico, provvede a tutte le necessità. I locali erano stati ben puliti e ordinati, è una bella zona dove stare, c'è un accesso alla spiaggia a meno di 5 min a piedi!
