Heliopetra Studios is an extremely nice…
Heliopetra Studios is an extremely nice place. Well maintained and located in a very nice spot in a charming village. In addition the neighboring Taverna serves excellent traditional food. We simply loved the place.
The service of owner, staff and agent is impeccable. Very helpful and responsive.
One thing to mention is that the beds are not soft. My family had rented the entire place for a week and some from the group were were having a stiff back in the morning. Something to mind for people that are a bit sensitive to comfort of beds.
Incredible Angela's house in Ravdoucha, Crete
We had a wonderful stay in Angela's house in Ravdoucha, Crete, less than an hour from Chania. Remote enough to have peace, access to a nearly private beach. Great house, incredible location, canoës to discover the coast. Warm welcome from Giannis, Theodore and Spirus. We thoroughly loved the place!
Fantastic space!
I recently stayed at Anna’s studio run by Konstantina and Theodore in Douliana as part of a retreat I was holding there. The studios were incredible, spacious, clean, fantastic swimming pool, the communications were excellent. Very friendly and just a really beautiful space. I will definitely be back. Highly recommended.
Thank you thank you! 🙏🏻

We rented a house called Douliana…
We rented a house called Douliana dream. everything was at the highest level, clean, everything as described. beautiful village and surroundings. very functional swimming pool and helpful owner. I recommend 100/. I will gladly go back there again!
Nikos’ place in Ravdoucha is a dream come true
Beautiful secluded place with its own swimming nook. The owner Nikos and his daughter Eleni were charming and so generous. Warm figs, fruit and vegetable deliveries; nothing was too hard. The views were amazing. A small taverna down the hill and another a beautiful walk away by a pebbly beach. Close to Chania but also far enough away to be totally peaceful.
The Studio was very well located and confortable
The Studio was very well located, in a small village but only 10min from the first beach. Chania is at about 30min car . The appartment is very quite, you have everything you need, there is a taverna close to the appartements and you can have very good food at affordable prices. The swimming pool is very pleasant. We could arrive and take the appartment at 12pm and there was everything for the breakfast (milk, tea, coffee, home made cake ! ). Very clean and the owner Anna very reactive if we had some questions. I recommand
a wonderful peaceful place
This is a wonderful peaceful place to stay.the view is fantastic and the owners are super kind and generous and gave us a variety of homegrown fruits and vegetables-best avocados and oranges we had
Thank you thank you
We want to come back
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!"
Our stay at Sofia’s house was way more…
Our stay at Sofia’s house was way more than expected. She is a wonderful, pleasant and helpful person with much knowledge of the island. The location was perfect with access to everything we needed from a supermarket to amazing restaurants. The house is beautiful and well maintained in a very peaceful setting. I would definitely recommend this place for anyone visiting Santorini. We did not have an international drivers license, however, Sofia was able to arrange a rental car delivered right to our door for less than what a rental agency was and we were able to rent without the international license, now that is service! Cannot say enough wonderful things about this rental experience.
Ravdoucha appartment with a view
Ravdoucha. What a nice appartment with such a beautiful sea view. We loved the place. It is so nice to walk down to the private rock beach and cooling down in the cristal clear water. Eleni and Nikos are very kind and helpful. There is a lot of food and drinks when you arrive.
On the site of myhousetorent you also find tips for excursions. We have done two of them and we really liked them very much. So we can advise to look there too.
We enjoyed the appartment and the excursions very much!
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!
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.

Magical and Tranquil - Living in a Greek Village
My girlfriend and I recently stayed in this house. It was incredibly beautiful, convenient and comfortable.
The house is a true cave house built into the side of the mountain. It was like living in a Greek village. It was very quiet and peaceful, without any of the crowds that Santorini is infamous for. We heard birds, church bells and an occasional barking dog. That was it.
The house is very centrally located. It was only a 20 minute drive to any of the beaches and sites. Parking was not a problem - it has the use of a large parking lot close to the apartment. We rented a car and I highly recommend that you do so.
The house is fully equipped with everything that you need including a washing machine, Wi-Fi, coffee maker and full kitchen. We felt like we were at home.
This house is perfect if you want a romantic, tranquil visit to Santorini. It was magical.
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!

Slice of Paradise….
From the moment we arrived on the lusciously green expanse and sweet floral smelling with vast never ending views of the Mediterranean Sea of this villa in Ravdoucha, Crete we knew we had entered paradise! The location with its private dipping rock based access into the Mediterranean Sea was the most exquisite swims we have ever had! We stayed in Apartment No. 1 and it was sparkling clean, great beach themed decor and VERY comfortable bed! We also had the opportunity to see Apt 2 and it was likewise incredible with an open kitchen concept and beautiful in every aspect. Then there was the outdoor garden with bbq areas in every nook and cranny, fruit trees and flowers exploding with color and scent every step, couches and lounge chairs that it would make it impossible for you simply not to relax and take in the beauty around you and the calming feel of your every intake of the sea air with your every breath. Our host Eleni was for lack of a better word INCREDIBLE! She answered all our questions promptly and helped us with any issues that we had! I can’t recommend this amazing slice of heaven enough! Just hope we can enjoy it again and again in the years to come!

The best place where you can stay in…
The best place where you can stay in Creta. The apartment is very comfortable and it's placed in amazing zone surrounded by nature. The view from the garden it's a dream and a private place to swim on seaside is available. The owners are very kind and they made me feel like home from the first moment. Like a good neighbors every day they brought me a lot of typical food cooked by them or a lot of fruit and vegetable picked up in the owner's fields.
Absolutely advised

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.
Margarita’s beautiful villa in Kalo Chorio, Crete
Our family stayed at Margarita’s beautiful villa in Kalo Chorio in Crete in August 2019 for 2 weeks. There are so many lovely things to say about our holiday, but first a special mention to Margarita who is so welcoming and generous. Many thanks to you Margarita for a very special holiday.
The villa is secluded with magnificent views and is beautifully decorated and spacious. Everything we needed was provided. It was so relaxing and peaceful. The boys particularly enjoyed the pool, feeding the cats and the football pitch just down the road. It is within an easy walk of the local village and a welcoming taverna with good local food and wine.
The local villages, shops and tavernas are a short drive away, as are the beaches and Heraklion and many other tourist spots. We found it to be a good location for exploring this region of Crete. Overall, a great holiday and thoroughly recommended.
