Amazing place with an incredible view Amazing place with an incredible view We had a fantastic time at Nikos' wonderful place in Ravdoucha and were welcomed by him and his daughter Eleni very warmheartedly, who brought us fresh vegetables, fruits and everything we could have needed. It's necessary to have a car if you stay there, because it is off the beaten track. Therefore we had quiet days and nights, only "disturbed" by the goats that passed our home and the sound of the waves underneath.

Amazing stay in Heliopetra Apartments in Douliana We were for the second time in the beautiful Heliopetra apartments in a very green and well-kept garden with olive trees and pomegranate trees among others. The pool is very well maintained and always crystal clear. The apartments are large and all have their own small terrace. The owner is super nice and cares about the well-being of her guests. The price-performance ratio is exceptional. In the village itself there are two taverns, both of which are highly recommended. One of them is directly adjacent to the apartments and you are virtually there in less than a minute. The ocean can be reached by car in 10 minutes. The next village by the sea, Kalyves, is very nice, as it is a healthy mixture of locals and some tourism. Sun beds are available for free if you consume. At the western end of the village there is a super breakfast cafe namely Café Cactus. Both Chania and Rethymno are easy to reach by car and always worth a trip. In summary: Excellent place to stay if you want to enjoy the somewhat quieter Cretan lifestyle to the fullest.

Forever this small world the Great! Booking through Myhousetorent was a perfect experience. We much prefer to deal directly with the owners rather than be mediated through an external listings site. Myhousetorent includes the acumen and insight of a local - Theodore's advice and suggestions can bring a whole new dimension to your trip. The house in Ravdoucha was like something from a dream, and we truly never wanted to leave. Nikos, Eleni, Kostas, and Theodore did much to make the place feel like a home for us during our week-long stay. In the words of Odysseus Elytis: "forever this small world the Great!"

Great view and good hospitality Great view and good hospitality. We got fresh vegetables from Nikos garden and the place was very relaxing and quiet. With a car you can easily go to beautiful beaches and towns in the area. The house was very nice as well!

We have found this gem right at the crete sea… We have found this gem on the crete sea and were very excited to go and visit in May 2020 and then corona came and blew all plans from the table. We made a downpayment before already and we couldnt go due to corona restrictions at first. They were very understanding. We got a voucher so we could make the reservation later when corona would be gone or managed. Unfortunately for us corona and now the war changed the entire economical (and medical) situation. Which made it impossible to go at all. According to the terms the owners of this property didn't have to refund us based on the letters. Yet they are decent good people who understand the personal situation which came with corona times and I feel they deserve all the business they are getting. We hope we can still visit when times improve somewhere in the future. I really want to still, it's a great spot with warm people. I am personally sad it had to end up like this. Thank you Giannis and Theodore for being good warm people, I wish you nothing but the best. You deserve that and more!
