Villa holiday rentals in Kavousi

Very friendly host, we accidentally got their key with us and he agreed on us shipping it back. Moreover, we took on our way out a bag of groceries that we thought it was ours and he was extremely kind although it was our mistake. The place is super spacious and with great views, totally recommend it!

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!!

Es war eine super Unterkunft, wir fühlten uns rund um wohl, super essen in der Taverne vor der Haustür Idealer Ausgangspunkt für Wanderung und Relaxen Wir können uns bei den Gastgeber nur Bedanken für den angenehmen Aufenthalt

Wir hatten einen wunderbaren Aufenthalt! Die Unterkunft war sehr schön und mit allem ausgestattet, was man braucht. Die Lage ist top – ruhig und privat, und trotzdem sind Restaurants, Einkaufsmöglichkeiten und der Strand bequem zu Fuß erreichbar. Die Kommunikation mit Pantelis war reibungslos und sehr angenehm. Er hat uns herzlich empfangen, uns tolle Tipps gegeben und sogar ein paar Getränke sowie frisches Obst bereitgestellt. Auf unsere Bitte hin, das Poollicht länger anzulassen, wurde direkt reagiert. Einziger kleiner Minuspunkt: Es gab recht viele Insekten, auch vereinzelte tote Insekten in der Wohnung, was in dieser Gegend aber nicht ungewöhnlich ist. Mit Sprays aus dem Supermarkt ließ sich das Problem aber gut in den Griff bekommen. Also konnte man problemlos drüber hinwegschauen. Insgesamt können wir die Unterkunft absolut weiterempfehlen – wir würden jederzeit wiederkommen!

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!

Plaka was absolutely lovely! this Villa made it so much better! Always responsive and great local recommendations. I ended up having issues with my car rental and they referred me to Christos Taxi which were amazing! The villa itself has beautiful views and very convenient to local restaurants, grocery stores and all beach areas. Definitely coming back and staying here!

We stayed here for my bachelorette trip with a group of girls and had the most amazing time! The villa was even more beautiful in person – clean, spacious, and full of charm. The outdoor space was perfect for lounging by the pool- he even tried helping us heat the pool bc we got a chilly day so we still had a great time and soaking in the Greek view. Our host was incredibly responsive and kind, helping us with everything from local tips to arranging transportation and a private boat trip and massages . It truly felt like a dream getaway – peaceful, private, and full of good vibes LUXURIOUS- 5 STAR Highly recommend for anyone who wants a good trip all the way around- group trip, girls’ getaway, or any special occasion! Thank you for making our stay in Crete unforgettable!

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 🥰

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!

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.

We had such a wonderful stay at Villa Bella Elena! The house is stunning, incredibly clean and with all the facilities you could need for a large group holiday. The hosts were incredibly helpful, friendly and attentive. They assisted with collecting and delivering a food shop for us so it was at the villa upon arrival, were flexible with check-in and check-out and also shared the taxi company and number they work with who were also great. We loved our stay and would highly recommend! Would absolutely stay again!

We had a wonderful 5-day vacation at the villa. The property was stunning! It was tastefully designed, offering full privacy, and was super clean. We used the brick oven to make pizza and also enjoyed the pool. Everything was just as it looked in the pictures, and the villa was equipped with everything we needed. Pandelis, the owner, was very responsive to all of our requests and questions. I highly recommend this place!

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.

What a wonderful stay! Antonios was incredibly communicative and greeted us warmly during check-in with fully stocked fridge, raki and a delicious platter of tomatoes, cucumbers and feta. The grounds were immaculate, the amenities were exactly as described on the listing. The location is wonderful - multiple small grocery stores located within walking distance, as well as a handful of delicious tavernas and restaurants along the water and in the nearby town. The location was excellent relative to activities on the island - we visited Knossos Palace, Skotino Cave (MAGICAL), Heraklion's Archaeology Museum, Star Beach (for some scuba diving + waterslides with the kids), and an Easter music event in a nearby town. We even rented a dune-buggy for the afternoon from the rental centre right next door. The villa itself had a great outdoor bbq, air conditioning units + smart TVs in every room, a well-stocked kitchen, laundry, clothes lines, beach chairs, pool toys, you name it, it's got it!

An amazing house with a very helpful and responsive host. Would stay again.

Met een groep van 9 vrienden een fantastisch verblijf gehad. Het huis was prachtig en de tuin met zwembad ook ook. Ook erg aardig dat we bij het uitchecken nog konden verblijven in een ander resort van manolis voordat we naar het vliegveld moesten. Dankjewel namens alle boys!

In een woord geweldig!! Precies zoals omschreven. Het voldeed aan alles!! We hebben echt een geweldig verblijf gehad! Heel hartelijk ontvangst met lokale lekkernijen. Tussendoor nog verrast met vers fruit. Zwembad was verwarmd!! En de douches waren ook heerlijk!! We hebben geen koude douche gehad, gewoon de instructies opvolgen!! Als je van rust houdt met een klein dorpje met restaurant en kleine ander tentjes, dan is dit echt een aanbeveling!!

Wir haben uns insgesamt sehr wohl gefühlt, waren immer gut betreut und die Wohnung entsprachvoll unseren Erwartungen. Man muss wissen, dass in den Abendstunden auch das ein oder andere Flugzeug nach Heraklion fliegt. Ein kleiner Supermarkt ist direkt vor Ort und zu Fuß in 2Minuten erreichbar. Ansonsten ist ohne Mietwagen ein schnelles Einkaufen oder Essen gehen mit öffentlichen Verkehrsmitteln nicht so einfach. Mit Auto alles kein Problem in fünf Minuten in großer Auswahl. Die Aussicht und die Wohnung sind sehr gut. Schwimmen vor Ort zu Fuß in fünf Minuten sehr gut möglich unterhalb der Wohnung. Diese war viel großzügiger als erwartet. Insgesamt kommen wir gerne wieder.

Wir hatten zu viert traumhafte 5 Wochen in Doras tollen Villa. Alles ist genauso wie in der Beschreibung und auf den Fotos. Und ein ganz großes Dankeschön geht an den Ansprechpartner vor Ort....Romeo. Er ist immer erreichbar, kümmert sich um alles und ist mega sympathisch. Wir werden ihn vermissen. Aber wir werden wiederkommen. 🤗

When you're looking for a quite place with privacy than this the place you are looking for. Surrounded by olive trees, close (but not too close) to the village and the sea side. A lovely villa with a nice (and very clean) pool that gives refreshment in the hot summer time. The villa is well equipped. Tips about the region come from Manos ... but we have to admit that we've had some lazy days in Zakros and did not visit all what Manos proposed :-). We've went to a few beaches but for us Kato Zakros (only 12 minutes drive -- lovely views by the way) was the ideal place. Not too busy and really nice restaurants on the beach. 100% chill.

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!

Hospitality is considered one of the oldest cultural assets - particularly on Crete. Both, Giannis and Eleftheria, are hospitable people par excellence. We enjoyed our stay in the villa very much. Efcharistó!

Wir hatten einen extrem schönen Aufenthalt in der Villa. Der Pool und die Aussicht sind einfach atemberaubend. Die Zimmer sind sehr geräumig und es gibt viel Platz zum entspannen. Alles war sehr sauber und es hat uns an nichts gefehlt. Vielen Dank für alles Stavros. Wir kommen wieder!

Place was great! View and pool were amazing features , the hosts waited for our arrival and checked in on us after the earthquake, accommodations were great! Enough space and a clean space. Would recommend having a car , a little car for walking but with the rental car it made it easy for us and everything is maybe 10 mins away, a lot of good towns to check out, one of our favourites was Agios
