Villa holiday rentals in Heraklion

Andreas is an amazing host. Responded to all messages within the hour. Amazing private location just a 30 min taxi from Heraklion. Received a full villa tour on arrival with a hamper basket.

Great villa and host, very kind and welcoming.

One of the best stays in airbnb over the years. Perfect place for staying with kids, lots of toys and everything. Our 3 year old son was really enjoyed. Giannis and Mara were really helpful about everything. They booked us transfer from airport for late night arrival and booked us a rental car for the next morning which we picked up at the door of the villa! This was one of the easiest and convenient option. I left my sunglasses at the rental car, they found it and will send me by shipping. Best hosts and best place to stay! Hope to meet you again.

Fabulous garden and pool, very peaceful and remote location in the hills. Golden Cage restaurant served excellent food. Giorgos was a very helpful and responsive host.

Had a fantastic stay at the apartment, great host and very responsive. Apartment was as described and more, the pictures do not do it justice. Really lovely touches to make you feel at home straight away, including groceries and local produce waiting for us on arrival. Loved the stay and would come back!

We had a wonderful stay at the Gaea Loft! The check-in went completely smoothly. Titos greeted us on our arrival with freshly squeezed orange juice, pastries and fresh eggs from his chickens. He is a very kind and likeable man, who cares very much about the successful stay of his guests. The listing exactly matches the pictures. It is clean, spacious and extremely well equipped (spices, oil, luggage scale, cooling packs, etc.). Each living room is equipped with air conditioning that quickly cools the room to the desired temperature. The view is beautiful, you can enjoy the sunrise and sunset on the balcony. The loft is accessible via a separate front door. You always have complete privacy. We can recommend the Gaea Loft to anyone!!

We had a great time in Otium villa with Manos as our host. The best host we met so far by booking via AirBnb. Thanks again Manos for your warm welcome, and delicious homemade sweets, Raki and a bottle of your favorite wine! About the apartment; everything is so clean and the view is beautifull. The best adress to have a relaxed holiday. The only sound you will hear are some dogs and goats from the little farm on the other side of the valley. It was a bit more windy then directly at the coast, which was nice because of the heat in the afternoon. We enjoyed every minute of being here, and our 1.5 year old son did too! Thanks again, and if we ever go back to Crete, we know where to go!

Very nice place, very quiet and with absolutely magnificent views. The villa is very easily accessible by car and parking is secure. The pool, gardens and terrace are very nice. Excellent hosting and great responsiveness from Theodora and her loved ones. I would highly recommend it.

We were eight women who spent a week at Villa Rodea. Had an amazing time, the view is wonderful and we had an uncomplicated care by the Komos team. We'll be back.

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

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!

Really great accommodation. Everything was new and clean. We were very satisfied and had a great host, Janis, who was always available!

The Place is absolutely great, the view is amazing and everything is even better than advertised. The house has way more amenities than listed and we would absolutely stay here again. The house is clean and modern and the communication with the host was very friendly and helpful.

We had a wonderful holiday. The villa is lovely and was perfect for a big family. Audrey is a great host who was so helpful throughout but especially with the challenges of the late arrival and checkout. Location is great and facilities were also great and exceeded expectations. A special mention for Wayne (the handyman), he took care of the garden, pool etc and is a bit of a legend👏. We would definitely look to book here again.

We had a great time in this lovely villa. The outside is truly beautiful and we loved spending the day at the pool. Inside is also very nice especially with the brand new kitchen. We would love to come back!

We had a great holiday at Marina Villas. Our stay at Marina Villas was wonderful. we were 14 adults and children who shared the three villas. All villas are well maintained and equipped. The pools also look great although during our stay the weather was too cool to enjoy them. The villas are located a short drive from the sea and the cities of Gazi and Heraklion. and most importantly - The owners of the villas and their manager were extremely kind and available for any question. I highly recommend staying at Marina Villas.

Just wow! This place was breathtaking and even better than the pictures. Very large and clean space. Just make sure you have a rental car as it is more secluded. Which was just what we were looking for in this part of our trip :) would definitely go back!

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 spent 14 nights at Samiro Home Villa. Evi was the perfect host, thoughtful, considerate and responded very quickly to all queries. Everything about the villa was clean and excellent. The grounds offered plenty of opportunities for both sun and shade and the gas barbecue made meals at home easy. Perched high up in the hills, the villa is peaceful and commands marvellous views over the mountains and countryside. It is located an easy 30 minute drive from the centre of Heraklion (recommend parking in the port area €3 all day) and around 45 minutes from the major archaeological sites at Gortys, Phaistos and Agia Triada.

Wonderful stay, Konstantin was very helpful and made us feel very welcome.

Very cozy and spacious place , in a very quiet place , but at the same time everything is available , we would like to come back, the host is very responsive , responds quickly and is always ready to help , special thanks for the hospitality at check-in

We had a great stay at Aurora Villa. The house was very comfortable and the view was beautiful. The host was friendly, responsive, and helpful throughout our stay. We would definitely recommend it.

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!

This was the most beautiful place our family has ever stayed and the best airbnb experience we've ever had! It was great for a family vacation and the villa was equipped with everything we needed. Kostas went above and beyond with everything - his mother came and cooked a Cretan meal for us on our first night, there was a homemade Greek cake, wine, and eggs. We recieved fresh eggs and more wine (made at the villa!) every few days, as well as more towels. We truly couldn't have asked for anything better - there was even a couple local cats who we managed to persuade to come say hi. This is THE place to stay!
