Phyllion Boutique Villa 'Green'
Very nice new villa, with a great pool area. An outdoor kitchen with play area for the children is also available in the lower part of the complex. Good opportunity for activities. Not far to the beach.

Carob Villa I, Luxury Family Hideaway Private Pool
We had a great stay! The location was perfect – very quiet, yet ideal for exploring the island. Everything was clean and exactly like in the photos. Communication was flawless, they responded immediately and were very helpful. I would definitely recommend this place to my friends and family!
Seashell, an Elegant Seafront Villa
We loved our stay at this comfortable, immaculate property with a gorgeous view of the ocean. Dimitris was extremely responsive and helpful, Popi who met us at checkin was friendly and welcoming, and Maria who came by to clean was sweet. The apartment is located in a great area as it is a small seaside community but still has a grocery store, restaurants, and pharmacy within walking distance. We rented a car and drove all over. I really enjoyed the time we spent outside on the patio listening to the waves crashing.

Alpha House in Crete
Private villa with beautiful views of the Mediterranean. Local host, Efi, was very responsive and flexible. Fun amenities like the swimming pool, outside terrace seating and ping pong table. 20 minutes drive to Heraklion for excellent restaurants, the lovely Archeological Museum and historic sites like the Palace of Knossos. Would recommend to friends.

"Manousaki"traditional stone house
Fantastic stay at this wonderful village house in beautiful peaceful Milatos, we cannot recommend this accommodation highly enough, exactly as pictured and described , host was amazing as was the delicious meal she left for our first night! Great amenities within house too. Great location to drive through mountains to elounda and agios Nikoliaos , we went straight south to beaches there too. All the restaurants on the front were amazing bar with no name fab through to Socrates so friendly and cheap €45 for two with wine . Old neighbour we sat and had a beer with although dialect was limited. Thank you again we will be back and telling everyone to come 🥰

Sweet memories in amazing Villa Eualia w pool
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.

Sardines Luxury Villa 3-Private Pool/Gym
We stayed at Elpiniki and Dimitri’s breathtaking Sardines Villa #3 during our stay in Crete. I couldn’t believe it when Niki told us the place had been in operation since 2021 it looked brand new. The place is pristine and so well maintained. What a pleasant surprise Niki even welcomed us with a fridge full of groceries and Raki. I can say that the pictures really don’t do it justice - the house really surpassed our expectations. The pool was great to have and and seemed to wrap around the house like a moat. With all windows open house inside feels like it’s outdoors and the sunshine washes over the space. There are some great restaurants around the area so you don’t need to travel too far to enjoy some of the best food of the region. I suggest taking out and enjoying dinner by the pool as we did one night. I would highly recommend a stay at Sardines Villa. We will be back! Thank you Niki and Dimitri. Σας ευχαριστώ

Gaea Loft Villa (2nd floor)
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!!

Villa Rodea
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.

Villa Aires
Me and my family had a great week at Villa Aires. The house is very special - set on a mountain side with incredible views up and down the valley. The sunsets each evening were perfectly framed by the landscape and some of the most beautiful we have seen. We hired a vehicle for the duration of the holiday and I would say this is essential for a holiday here - the price you pay for the stunning surroundings is that the house is quite remote, only the local village is walkable (charming but just a couple of restaurants and a small shop on offer). A car also gives you the opportunity to explore this area of Crete which has lots to offer with beaches, history, markets, harbours, beautiful towns. As long as you’re happy with the location, this villa is a no brainer. We would stay again without hesitation!

Villa Chara 3 bedroom unique design Villa
Great villa and host, very kind and welcoming.

Orama Luxury Villa 4 Bedrooms with Private Pool
We had an amazing stay here, 6 adults and 2 babies. The villa is beautiful and we really appreciated the separate baby pool and children's toys, as well as being provided with a travel cot and high chairs for both babies. Eleni was a great host, she was very responsive and organised a cleaner to come half way through the stay which was great. The location is good as it isn't in the main town. It is a 10-15 minute walk to the restaurants and bars in Piskopiano and Koutouloufari, the first 5 minutes of the walk is uphill. We hope to return next year!

Villa Tyghi - 5 Bedroom with private pool
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.

Villa Mirtylla luxury retreat w Pool, BBQ and Gym
Giorgos was a great host. Flexible with our demands and very responsive whenever we had any issues. For example, we had a hot water problem, which he resolved quickly after we informed him. The villa is very beautiful with a 360 view of Heraklion and the surrounding area. It has a great living room space for social gatherings, outside tables for dining and a grill. The kitchen was also well equipped with a large fridge+freezer, dish washer, microwave oven and gas hobs. The gym was well equipped and the swimming pool water was very clean. There was a washing machine with a lot of drying space. Several of the rooms have private bathrooms. The villa was not easily reachable by foot but that is the case for most places on Crete. It had however plenty of parking space and remotely operated gates. We didn't try the jacuzzi so can't comment on that and the piano was locked. Overall our stay was amazing, we're very happy and would recommend Giorgos as a host :)

Private Stone Villa with Pool and Sea View
We really enjoyed our stay in Thomais´resort. Thomais did everything to make us feel welcome and welcomed us with homemade cooking and wine. Located on the mountain top the distance to shopping and restaurants is several kilometers, but excellent taxi service solved this so we dropped our plans to rent a car.

Private Villa 300 m² Aris Palace
We had a wonderful stay at Thanos' villa. Thanos was so welcoming and helpful, he couldn't do enough for us. The villa was very well appointed, we had everything we needed, including two adorable stray cats.

Villa Chrisa Seaview in Piskopiano - Private Pool
We stayed a week in june in this amazing villa. This modern villa has a beautiful view from the balcony. The villa is located in a calm village, with many good restaurants with walking distance. Also a shops is located near the villa. The villa has a big private parkingspace, which made it easy to explore the island by car.

BlueKeyVilla- Remastered wellness retreat
We had a fantastic time. The villa is stunning and had just been freshly renovated. Everything about it is designed to maximize the beautiful views, the airflow, peace and tranquility. The hosts were communicative, kind and generous with flexible check-in and out. The fantastic pool area, stonework, bathrooms, kitchen, linens, sauna/steamroom, washer & dryer, game room -- all were top quality. This was easily the most beautiful AirBnb we have ever stayed in. It was a good home base for exploring Crete. We were also happy to save one day for relaxing at the villa. We were only a family of four, and the villa could have easily held twice as many. Would love to return one day. Made wonderful memories here.

Villa Stavelia with private pool
We really enjoyed our stay. The accommodation had everything we needed. Our host was very communicative and even brought us breakfast one morning – a very kind gesture! Within 5 minutes, you can reach the beach, a café, a restaurant, and a supermarket. Other than that, there isn’t much in the immediate surroundings, but the location is perfect for a relaxing stay.

Villa Melissa by Estia
A great stay in a beautiful house. Everything is exactly as you expect it. The host was super nice and accommodating and if there was anything you could always reach out to him. An outstanding house that we can only recommend

"Villa Balcony", Cozy Villa with Amazing View
We just loved everything about this airbnb!!!!! The house was AMAZING, incredible views, incredible features, we went to the pool, did barbecue, breakast with ocean view, everything and more we expected! Konstations is THE BEST host we ever got!! Not only he was hiper reactive, attentious ( he made sure to got us on the airport so we arrive well, his mom cooked us food because they would imagine we would arrive late and hungry), incredibly generous and nice!! We have many tips and support during the full trip ! Everything and more that we expected! Thank you again

We had some difficulty finding the place initially. Do not rely on the link on Airbnb. It will take you miles away. Google Four Seasons Private Villa and follow the link there

Villa Belamar – Luxury Sea-View Stay, Hersonissos
Thank you to Antonella and Mario’s for their hospitality. The house beautiful and location great. Some good restaurants in walking distance

Luxury Villa Golden Crest with private pool
It was a wonderful stay in Hersonissos. The location of the villa is perfect. It is 10 minutes. Footpath to the beach, the pool is an absolute dream, the amenities of the accommodation are excellent. There was only a small communication problem, as we requested an earlier check-in, which was promised to us via AirBnB for 4 pm, but the hostess on site explained to us that this was a mistake and it is only possible at 4 pm, as well as the check-out, which is specified online for 11 am and we already had to leave the house at 10 am. Every now and then, gardeners or other workers were on site on different days, but the peace itself was not greatly disturbed, only the privacy was minimally restricted at times. All in all, the villa is a wonderful retreat with a wonderful view of the sea with antique stylish details that invite you to a relaxing holiday.
