Villa holiday rentals in Islands

We called this place "the mansion." The views are absolutely breathtaking and the accommodations pristine. The beautiful beach is across the street and the hotel nearby has an outside bar on that beach. We ended up renting a car because we could tell driving in Crete was easier than places like Mykonos and Athens. We ventured to a few places like Richtis Gorge and the downtown harbor; excellent shopping with some closed (no vehicles) streets. We wished we had more time here! Our host was very kind and also helpful in booking the car rental after our arrival. We highly recommend Villa Phi!! Thank you.

Beautiful location with a stunning view and gorgeous heated pool. The property had all the mod cons including dimmed lighting, air con and cooking facilities. The BBQ was particularly good. The fire pit is a nice to sit for sunrise or sunset. Katerina was very welcoming and gave us lots of recommendations. Would highly recommend!

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at this beautiful villa! The house is truly luxurious, in perfect condition, and tastefully designed with great attention to detail. The layout of the rooms is simply brilliant — spacious, comfortable, and perfect for relaxing and spending quality time together. The heated pool was one of our favorite features — always at the perfect temperature to cool down and unwind at any time of the day. The location couldn’t be better: just a few minutes’ walk to the beach, where you’ll find plenty of great restaurants, cafes, and shops. A very special thank you to our amazing hosts! They were incredibly warm, welcoming, and always just a message away. Every little question or request was answered within minutes — we felt truly taken care of from the very first moment. We can highly recommend this villa to anyone looking for a perfect holiday on Crete. We would love to come back anytime! Thank you so much, Eleni&Georgios!

We had the most amazing stay at the villa, it was beautiful, private, clean, and just the perfect place for a getaway. The villa was equipped with everything we needed and more… including BIDETS! Aegli went above and beyond to help us with whatever we needed. Thank you so much, Aegli. Would give this place 10/5 stars if we could. We will definitely be back!!

Beautiful villa — easily walkable to the beach and with excellent views of the sea and surrounding hills. Clean & functional. Maria at the Airbnb gives great recommendations for restaurants and activities nearby.

Beautiful and quiet accommodation surrounded by olive trees. Great pool to relax and enjoy the sun. The accommodation is very nicely furnished and everything you need is available. Dimitris always responded very quickly to our inquiries and gave us great tips for taverns and excursions. We spent a wonderful week in this great house and would have loved to stay longer. We will be happy to come back.

Compared to the cost of novelty hotels and resorts on Santorini, getting a Villa like this was the move! it is on the southwestern tip of the island, but with a car everything was within a 20-45min drive. Was half the price of getting 2 hotel rooms in Fira or Oia, and you get a giant villa! infinity pool was awesome. stayed warm surprisingly. there are actually TWO hot tubs that the pictures actually undersell and don't do justice. they are like inground mini pools with benches. Only probably 90-94degrees though. but still comfortable to sit in at night and stare and the stars and the lights shimmering from rest of island. the sunset and views here are 💯! really close to black sand beach (17min drive), red beach not far, and white beach (15-20min). breakfast delivered every morning is really good and fresh. bathrooms and showers plentiful. Only downside is how the upstairs area and location on island turns the upstairs terrace into a wind tunnel. but all islands get windy!

Beautiful holiday home with fantastic views of the sea and islands. Ideal for a relaxing holiday by the sea. We especially enjoyed the peace and quiet, there are no direct neighbors. Beautiful and secluded beaches are within easy reach by car. The house and the furnishings leave nothing to be desired, simply perfect. Andreas is a very attentive landlord who gave us some good tips. Thank you for the wonderful stay!

Beatiful view and nice downstairs appartment with own pool and yard. Parking lot had always room for our car. From parking lot there are deep stairs down to the appartments yard. We came late in evening and it was little bit difficult to get in without light on the appartment door. Pool was great for swimming and view fo Chania and sea bay just amazing. If you have lot of electronic devices with you, take a power strip with you. The neighborhood was peaceful and quiet during our stay in April. Really nice place to relax and enjoy life.

Staying here was so special, magical, really was out of this world. Takis and team were fantastic, warm, kind and professional. Outstanding place, completely faultless. Thank you so much Takis and team, from all of us.

We loved staying at Petros's place. The location is picture perfect and completely serene, coupled with the stunning views - perfect getaway gem. The villa is beautifully designed with lots of places to explore and hang out in. Petros is very accommodating and all around helpful from assisting us in setting up the outdoor speakers to offering to make restaurant reservations on our behalf. We had an absolutely amazing time and hope to stay at the villa again when we come back to Crete. Highly recommend!

Giorgos Villa was absolutely fantastic. The place was immaculate and exactly as described. We felt right at home. Cold AC, hot showers, clean house and comfortable beds. Sunsets were the best we’ve ever witnessed. Giorgos met us at the location and provided us some starter food and basic amenities that he didn’t have to. He also dropped by fresh vegetables from his garden which turned into some amazing Greek Salads! Thank you for that! I highly suggest you consider this Villa as the property and host are second to none. Thank you for making such an amazing trip for my family.

This days we stayed at Nektaria’s place were magical… The place is beautiful, had everything you need, clean, well decorated… it felt unreal to be honest! Nektaria gave us really good tips, she is a fantastic host! We had 3 small kids with us that had the time of their life in the swimming pool and beach. It felt very private and comfortable, exactly what we needed. I hope to come back as soon as possible, as this is by far the best Airbnb I’ve ever stayed. Thank you Nektaria, for everything.

Our group had an amazing time at the Villa in Paros. The host arranged for our transfer from the port and was waiting to welcome us at the villa. We were provided an extremely detailed tour of all aspects of the property which was very much appreciated. The property is beautiful!! The photos are an accurate representation of the property, but the views are even more breathtaking in person. The host was available throughout our stay for questions and was always responsive and helpful. We were even provided recommendations for our time in Athens as well. We will not hesitate to stay here again. Thanks for everything!

We had an incredible stay with our family. The photos do not do it justice. It’s so beautiful and so peaceful. There were many lovely welcome food and drinks that we really appreciated. We had many activities and family in the area so we were out and about but were always looking forward to coming back to enjoy the house, the pool, and the gorgeous view. We also loved the hot tub when we got a little chilled from swimming since it was a bit early in season. We made sure to have a day to just do that. We used the indoor/outdoor theatre one night and that was really fun. All the rooms and the kitchen were perfectly appointed. Everything was so well thought out. We can’t wait to come again and stay longer and have time to use the outdoor kitchen, the gorgeous dining room and enjoy the beautiful pool and view again. Thank you Evi for an incredible stay at this beautiful house!

This Airbnb was AWESOME. Our group of 8 people loved the stay. The view was unbeatable, the hosts were responsive and arranged for private van to and from airport/ferry port, and had their own fleet of vans and drivers (not free) to take us across the island. Sleeping situation and bathrooms were great. One small note, if you are uncomfortable with bugs, I would recommend looking elsewhere. However, this is to be expected in ANY beautiful outdoor villa like this, but the hosts did their best to keep the bugs to a minimum.

Honestly can't speak highly enough of our trip to this beautiful Villa. Met Nikolaos and his partner upon arrival, both very warm and friendly people who ran through the entire villa to ensure we knew how things worked and where everything was. Place was already stocked up on small items like water, fruit jam, bread, butter, fruit etc etc. The place itself is just absolutely stunning, the views you can't get enough of, the furniture and beds are unbelievably comfortable, luxury towels and bathrobes, slippers, Plenty of privacy with the main town just a short walk away. I would without a doubt recommend this villa to anyone looking for that something extra special, i know we personally would come back every year if possible. Kind Regards Ashley & Becky

My girlfriend and I stayed here for 3 nights during our time in Crete and absolutely fell in love with the place. The home is so cozy and has everything you need from the moment you walk in. Maria was super helpful and made sure we had what we needed for a comfortable stay. Set in a rustic village with amazing views of the skyline, this place is one you should book for sure. Super close to the town of Rethymno, with many shops, restaurants, and beaches a short drive away.

The house and the backyard were wonderful. The views were amazing and it was fun to be in the hot tub looking out at the ocean in the distance. Loves the vanities in each bedroom. Made it very easy to get ready for the day. Lots of natural light which is always nice. And communicating was very easy with the homeowner.

As someone who’s constantly traveling for both work and leisure, it’s rare to come across a place where everything is so well thought out that there’s nothing to comment on, in the best way. This is genuinely one of my favorite stays. The location and views are magical and the attention to detail across the property is impressive. The pool and garden were always perfectly maintained and for a mountain spot, it’s not easy to find such clear, bug-free water. The team on site was great, always helpful without being intrusive. The food at the restaurant isn’t fancy but it’s honest, home-cooked, and made with care. Thank you for everything, I’d definitely come back and already started recommending it to friends.

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!

AMAZING. Everything 10/10. From the stay, to the villa, to the host Alexandros. We stayed here for 12 nights and 0 complaints. Alex is a fantastic guy, the villa is exceptional & we will be back A LOT more. Thank you, Alex and your team.

This place is absolutely amazing. My wife and I spent our honeymoon at Aikaterinis apartment and we were completely satisfied. The inside provides everything what we needed. The description was absolutely accurate. The fridge is very spacious and there is a freezer as well. We cooked quite a lot therefore this was very helpful for us. The pool outside is very clean and also the temperature was perfect for the hot days in Greece. You can really relax at this place because there is not a lot of tourism at this area on Crete. Also the beach in front of the house is quite nice. We put our hammock under some trees and were watching the sunrise over Paleochora. I can totally recommend this apartment, especially for couples who want some relaxing time and together.

Absolutely loved our stay at this villa—5 stars without hesitation. The space is beautifully styled, bright, and comfortable, with a fully equipped kitchen and airy open-plan living. The outdoor area is the standout: a pristine pool, lush greenery, and plenty of space to relax or dine alfresco. Breakfasts on the terrace were a real highlight. The bedrooms were spotless, with soft linens and everything we needed for a restful sleep. Our host was friendly, responsive, and made everything seamless from check-in to departure. A perfect balance of style, comfort, and calm—already looking forward to coming back.
