Monthly Rentals in Smari

We loved our stay with Manolis and Nopi. Apostoli is a sweet little village, away from the main tourist spots in the north. It’s only a 40 minute drive from Heraklion airport. Unfortunately we didn’t have the best weather and the hut would be better suited to sunshine but we still found it very comfortable with everything we needed. Manolis is a very considerate host. He took us out to a music evening in Archanes and we really enjoyed chatting to him and learning all about the island. We would definitely stay again.

Malvina is one of the top hosts this platform has. She will cook you dinner, she will make sure you have everything you need, she will stock your house with many complimentary food and drinks that you will not find elsewhere, she will teach you what true Cretan hospitality looks like and all this with a genuine smile on her face and heart. The house is wonderful decorated with every corner filled with beautiful interiors, taste and love. We slept like babies in the most comfortable bed and left deeply relaxed and grateful for such an unforgettable stay!

This cosy villa was the perfect backdrop to a very memorable trip. The balcony offers beautiful views, the village is peaceful and welcoming, and we liked the convenience of being just a 25 minute drive from Heraklion city. We had all the amenities we needed, and everything is as described. Many thanks to our hosts Apo and Despoina for their warmth and hospitality! We had a wonderful stay.

We had an amazing 10-day stay at this beautiful house(3 adults and one teenage)! From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed with delicious pastries and raki. The host also thoughtfully provided us with olive oil, coffee, water, and a bottle of wine, which was a lovely touch. The location was peaceful and ideal for a relaxing getaway. The house itself was spotlessly clean, spacious, and full of character, with all the amenities we needed to feel at home. The outdoor space was a real highlight, with the jacuzzi in the garden being a must for relaxing after a day at the beach or sightseeing. We also think a small BBQ in the garden would be a great addition for future guests! The host was incredibly responsive and helpful, making sure we had everything we needed throughout our stay. We highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a peaceful and charming getaway!
