Monthly Rentals in Kontopoula

If you’re searching for a peaceful escape that feels like stepping back in time, Agapi is the spot for you. Driving up the winding road it feels like you’re going up into the clouds. Nestled in a small village with stunning mountain views we very much enjoyed our stay, and making friends with the local cats. **Host note – Maria is a gem. When we accidentally locked our keys and phones inside while bringing in our bags, a friendly neighbour helped us get in touch with Maria and her husband who came right away and let us in. Highly recommend!

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.

We spent the month of April at Maria's Villa in Malaxa. Our goal was remote working from a beautiful location, that we could also make road trips on the weekends and drive into Chania some evenings for dinner. All of this worked out perfectly. The Internet connection was speedy, The house itself is a beautifully built and appointed traditional stone house. There are 3 balconies that allow you to choose sun or shade at any hour of the day. Maria was responsive to any needs or questions. Her parents are like my own greek Grandparents, showering us with homemade foods and useful info.

My family of 8 had a great stay. The villas are brand newly built. Everything is brand new inside. Fully stocked kitchen. Even had snacks. Amazing views of Chania from a top of the mountain. The extra 8 minute drive up the hill is worth the views! Only 10 minutes to major supermarket Sklavenitis. Only 20 minutes to the Venetian port. Antonis is a great host and very fast to respond! He provided local guide information. I would definitely stay here again.
