Book a hotel near Petres Beach, Crete

"We had an absolutely wonderful two-week stay at this home! It is perfectly located between Chania and Rethymno, making it easy to explore both cities while enjoying the peacefulness & privacy of the countryside. 2 nearby markets made grocery shopping convenient, and we found incredible restaurants in the area—Hasika in Rethymno was our favorite, with the best Greek salad & bougatsa of our trip!What truly set this VRBO apart was our host, Melina. She warmly greeted us upon arrival and gave us a thorough walkthrough. Not only did she make us feel welcome, but she also prepared a delicious homemade Greek meal, a bottle of wine and her own Raki. Her friendly advice and attentive hospitality throughout our stay made all the difference.The house itself was spotless, with comfortable beds and luxurious bedding. Great A/C & heat. The kitchen & outdoor firepit were well-equipped, making it easy to cook & enjoy meals at home. We visited several stunning beaches, including Elafonisi & Preveli but Episkopi just three minutes from the house was the best! We loved having the best of both worlds—tranquility among the olive & lemon trees while still being close to restaurants & shopping. The outdoor spaces were a highlight; we spent many hours on the beautiful covered patio, balconies to stargaze and both the indoor and outdoor fireplaces added a cozy touch.We are so glad we chose Crete for our March vacation—it was the perfect getaway, and this home made it truly unforgettable.

"Fantastic location on the sea front. Sylvie and Kanakis were the perfect hosts, friendly, helpful and exceptional throughout our week."

"Amazing settings and both pools. Excellent breakfast. Checkin procedure is very annoying. "

"Our family of 6 adults had a fantastic time at Villa Sugar. The villa is very spacious, very clean and well designed with everything you could possibly need to enjoy your holiday. The swimming pool is brilliant and the views from the villa are stunning, especially when watching the sun set over the sea and the mountains. There is an excellent supermarket within 100 metres and at least two restaurants you can walk to from the villa. Andreas, the owner is brilliant. His knowledge of the area and his genuine desire to ensure you have a great time is outstanding. Thank you "

"A great stay here in Crete, if you’re planning to come here from Heraklion I suggest renting a car (around 1 hour and 30 minutes from there). The resort is stunning, all new and with attentive staff. The food offered at the buffet was great, many options and with excellent desserts. The room was modern and stunning, I loved the pool on the balcony. The beach is long and stunning with nice beach beds. Overall I loved my stay here. "

"Our fourth time visiting Crete... We enjoyed a lovely week at Nereid Villa, despite our flight being delayed the owner were happy to wait for us to show us round the villa. The villa is situated in an elevated position with beautiful views across the sea and olive groves. We spent most of our time at the rear of the property enjoying the sunsets which were spectacular and lovely pool. The villa was extremely clean and equipped with everything you need. There were a couple of things which needed attention but we made this clear to the owner so they could be rectified before their next guests. A car is a must here as there's so much to see, Georgioupolis was our local favourite place to visit. Thank you!"
