I am planning a trip to Crete for May 2020. I would like to rent a villa for 7 adults. I have looked on the Homeaway and VRBO websites. There are some beautiful villas available however most of the villas on these websites don't have any reviews so I am not comfortable reserving them. Does anyone know where else I can search or have any ideas? Thank you.
We rented from a well regarded local incoming tourist agency based in Chania, Maria at Diktynna Travel. It was a eautiful home but too small for your group. They handle all kinds of bookings from travel agencies based in other places.

We used this service to buy villa in Greece https://tranio.com/greece/ and once for renting a family house for a week-end. Both these times we were provided with all needed information and the managers there were really professional. I'm sure you will find something decent via this service.
I think near Chania is Better don t put yourself in to traffic!
