Monthly Rentals in Kares

Stayed here for three weeks in April. The Makis mother did her absolute best to make us feel at home right away - she often brought us home cooked pastries and Greek desserts. Starlink Internet was stable and fast, had no issues with it. You are pretty high up in the mountains so it can get chilly if you are not going in summer, when we arrived it was pretty cold inside. Water pressure is not great but manageable, it's also solar hot water, so the temperature can be hit and miss. The place has hotel-like access card for the lights and sockets, so when you leave everything turns off, which can be a bit of nuisance. Not much natural light inside, but the mains lighting inside is more than sufficient during night time. For better or worse you are middle of nowhere surrounded by mountains and sheep's, thus there is really no reception in the area, for sms and calls you need to go outside.

The place was very nice and the view bombastic. You can see the sunrise from the balcony. A dream. I loved that I had my own parking space, which was very large. So my car was always in good hands. George had provided great tips, e.g. a beach, about 1 hour away by car, which I would never have noticed otherwise and was simply fantastic. I'm a newbie in Crete, my first time and George's great tips made it really nice for me. Another highlight is the apple tree in the farm. I joked an apple every now and then, I hope that was ok.

Unforgettable stay at Giannis villa at Kampoi. Spacious villa equipped with all necessities to have a hassle free holiday. A well decorated villa and super clean kichen and bed room. The villa is located in mountains with fantastic views to the White Mountains. Quiet area and we loved to walk and explore the surrounding and even offered a cup of coffee by kind neighbors. There is a top rated family restaurant nearby just eight minutes downhill. There is also a winary in just five minutes of drive downhill where you can taste different wines and treats while looking at breathtaking mountain views. I will definitely recommend this beautiful place to my friends and colleagues. Thank you very much Giannis.

We stayed at Despina's in Fres in February and March. From meeting us at the airport and helping us pick up our hire car she was always available if we needed advice. Driving into Fres you head for the village square and drive through it through an archway. Carry on this road for about 300m. Just beyond a small church on the left you will see it in front of you. There is a small undercover car parking space with the stairs to get to the flat. Despina's father lives in the flat below. He is very kind and despite not speaking English we managed to understand each other. We were also lucky to be given lemons, oranges,eggs and olive oil from his garden. The area is beautiful and rural with the sounds of goats and chickens to listen to whilst sipping wine on the balcony looking towards the sea. The area is a great base for exploring especially Vamos, Almyrida and the Apokoronas region. Chania and Rethymno are not too far either. I can't recommend Despina's place highly enough.
