Villa holiday rentals in Agia Pelagia

The pictures don’t do this view justice. It’s breathtaking! The home is gorgeous and the outdoor space is wonderful. It was too cold for us to swim but we still enjoyed time at the beach. Most of the immediate area was already shut down for the season during our stay but there is a lovely area about a mile walk away. We spent a lot of time there enjoying the coffee shops and restaurants. The house and rooms were fantastic and there was more than enough space for everyone to relax. The host was amazing and went above and beyond to help us when we left some glasses at a restaurant. Thank you so much for a great stay!!

Our stay at the villa was nothing short of incredible. The location was peaceful and serene—away from the busier tourist areas, it truly felt like our own private resort. The views were absolutely stunning, and every moment there felt like a dream. The house itself was fully equipped with everything we could possibly need, and the heated pool was a highlight—especially during the cooler evenings. It made it easy to enjoy every part of our stay, no matter the weather. George, our host, was fantastic. He was always just a message away, ready with helpful suggestions and warm hospitality. His attention to detail and genuine care made our stay even more special. We’re already dreaming about our return. Highly recommend!

A little piece of paradise We had an unforgettable stay as a couple in this beautiful apartment in Agia Pelagia. Every morning started with breakfast under the bougainvillea, watching the sunrise over the sea – absolutely magical. Just a few steps and we were swimming in crystal-clear water. Pure bliss! The apartment is stylish, spotless, and well-equipped with all essentials like soap, detergent, and toilet paper. The kitchen allowed us to prepare meals comfortably and had all the necessary utensils. A lovely surprise was the thoughtful welcome gift: coffee, wine, fruit, cookies, and water – such a kind gesture. Shops are just minutes away on foot, and everything was super convenient. We truly felt at home and appreciated the care the hosts put into every detail. We’re already dreaming of coming back! Thank you for everything!

Beautiful stay with the necessary amenities. Giorgos is a mega friendly host who always responds quickly and clearly! Also gives a lot of tips about Crete if you ask.

The house and the view is amazing. This is a very good place to stay and really recommend this place for a short stay in between Chania and Heraklion. You need a car or a motorbike to go around but besides that a very good place

Really cool place with open and airy ambiance, from the views of the port both inside the house and from the huge roof deck, as well as the peaceful private patio. Cool vibe with a great kitchen. And the electric guitar was awesome. We stayed here just 2 nights, and we felt fortunate to have found it. It was the perfect interim stop between two larger segments of our trip. A relaxing place to regroup and do laundry, while enjoying some nice restaurants within walking distance.

Great place! Beautiful view. Wonderful outdoor area with pool. Paying extra for pool heating was worse it. Sea shore across the street from the villa but might need to walk couple of minutes to sand beach with umbrellas. Grill was available per request. Some restaurants are within walking distance, but I would recommend renting a car. Hosts are very responsive.

Beautiful villa, nothing was too much trouble and the host was really helpful throughout. The kids loved the pool and we were gutted to leave. Hope to be back in the future.

An amazing place, beautiful interior and a superb outside space. Definitely lived up to expectations.

We have just had the most gorgeous family holiday at Villa Belle Helene . It is the perfect villa equipped to the highest standards both inside and out and exceeded all our expectations. Inside is spacious and all the rooms have excellent air conditioning which was very welcome in the heat. We spent a lot of time enjoying the outdoor areas, especially the pool and jacuzzi which were perfect to cool down in the heat and to enjoy. The sheltered area outside the lounge is perfect for eating and BBQs and the raised outdoor seating area with TV provides the opportunity to unwind in an evening. It is 10 mins walk up to Old Hersonnissus which has a lovely square with Tavernas and bars. Hiring a car is worthwhile to explore the island further but not essential as its easy to book taxis. Eleni and her family are absolutely lovely, they could not be more helpful and made us so welcome. We would absolutely recommend this villa and would love to stay again if we go back to Crete.

Lovely house nice a quiet and peaceful good location in the middle of the island easy to find. The English host / contact was brilliant very friendly and nice could help more and provided loads of recommendations

Beautiful place, great for families. Lots of toys and even a potty for the kids! Cleaner came mid week which was not necessary but so great. Beach is a 3 min walk. Really need a car to get there which was fine for us! Thanks for everything.

Great place to stay! Gorgeous views, large home with plenty of space.

We had an amazing time staying at this beautiful house! The space was exactly as described—stylish, comfortable, and well-kept. Our host was extremely responsive and incredibly helpful throughout the stay, always quick to answer any questions and offer assistance when needed. There was an unfortunate sewage smell that made things a bit unpleasant for one day, but the host was very supportive, provided helpful advice right away, and did everything possible to address the issue. We really appreciated the quick and caring response. The host was also very welcoming and flexible, even accommodating us with a later checkout, which made our departure much easier. The housekeeper was absolutely lovely—so kind and warm to us, which added a really personal touch to the stay. Despite the minor hiccup, we truly had a fantastic time and would happily stay again!

Fantastic villa, we couldnt have asked for more. The house is amazing and immaculate with everything you could need. Elina was the perfect host and went above and beyond and was proactive with extra information and tips. We couldnt have asked for a more welcoming and warm host. 5 star house with a 5 star host. we will be back.

The house is simply gorgeous. Our family had a wonderful Christmas holiday here. The host was very generous with items in the refrigerator and a well stocked kitchen. Lots of recommendations of places to eat in the area. Michael met us in the driveway upon arrival and showed us everything in the house, that was very kind. Especially loved access to the washer and dryer because we were traveling with kids. It was too cold to use the pool, but if you are here when it is warm, it would be such delight.

Very nice accommodation and many helpful items and tools for grilling as well as for cooking yourself great dishes and cutlery. In addition, toilet paper, towels, etc. were also included free of charge, as well as free coffee and accessories. The place really had everything you need. The villa and the vacation were my best vacation ever.

We had an amazing stay here. The hosts were very friendly and responsive to any questions we had and able to provide recommendations for restaurants and reliable taxi driver. The villa was spotless, well stocked and the aircon worked very well. We also appreciated the midweek cleaning service provided. Thank you so much for an incredible stay, we hope to come back again!

What a fantastic place! Perched at the top of the hill overlooking the beautiful sea, our family thoroughly enjoyed the space, view and atmosphere. The house is beautifully decorated with well thought out space, we were a large family and still felt like we weren’t in each others hair. Highly recommended place to stay on the beautiful island of Crete.

Beautiful property, extremely well equipped, clean. The hosts Ellie and George were extremely helpful and responsive. The photos do not do it justice. Beautiful garden, comfy beds, well maintained. Amazing pool. The town/village of Lygaria is quiet with friendly locals in the shops and restaurants. Lovely beach with crystal clear waters. My dad was very impressed by the towels provided for bathing/swimming! Loved it

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The villa is beautiful and the beautiful garden incl. Pool invites you to linger. The villa is in incredibly good condition and spotlessly clean, so we felt very comfortable. The area is very quiet, but there are enough taverns and small villages in the immediate vicinity. The contact with the owner of the villa could not have been more pleasant and cordial. We will be happy to come back!

Amazing place, nothing much to add, felt luxurious and the villa is equipped with everything you need. Would definitely return!

the view is absolutely amazing. we enjoyed the terrace and the BBQ with sea view. there is also a nice tiny path to go down to the beach within 3min by foot. (10min to go back up). our stay was outside the summer (last October week) so it was maybe not quite as warm but still very enjoyable. the pool was heated for us for a little extra, so we could use it despite the windy weather. the house was absolutely spot clean, and we had a cleaning service in the middle of the week which was very friendly and super efficient. note. the road that climbs the hill to the villa is very steep but very manageable. this seems to be same for pretty much every villa in the neighborhood. during our stay we were in regular contact with Angelika's brother Kostas via whats app. He answered all of our questions within minutes and gave useful tips, which made us feel very well taken care of. we warmly recommend that place!

We thoroughly enjoyed the Villa and felt at home in this peaceful and luxurious space. Highly recommend Georgina, Jenny and George as a team supporting our chef experiences, local recommendations and house needs. We came with another couple and had plenty of space - and could easily see coming back with our extended family! Highlights: snorkeling off the pier at the house, a pet gecko, in-house massages with Angela, and morning coffee with gorgeous sunrise views. We laid out by the pool daily.
