Villa holiday rentals in Milatos

Excellent villa on the south side of Crete. Pool, landscapes and the house are beautiful! The south of Crete is way less touristy than the north so if you want quiet this is the spot. We were the only Americans anywhere in May!

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!

Beautiful villa inside and out - loved every minute of our stay there. It's an excellent location for lovely village of Mochlos and there's a bay where you can swim to left of harbour. Marilou was always on hand with any recommendations etc we needed. Only negative is we didn't realise that the bedroom with its own entrance is actually in a basement so very little natural light. Didn't bother us but does mean you don't see the beautiful views. Can imagine it keeps cooler in peak summer though.

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!

My husband, our 7yo daughter, and I stayed at Michaela's house in Crete for five nights in April, and we enjoyed it very much. The inside is clean, comfortable, and decorated nicely, but the outside living space - the pool area, the outside dining/grilling area, the terraces - make it special. Michaela's mother Eva, who lives next door, is an exceptionally welcoming and kind host. While she was nearby to help make our stay as comfortable as possible, there was no loss of privacy in the proximity. The house is in a quiet residential area, and we rented a car to get to grocery stores, restaurants, beaches, etc., and to explore Crete in general; this was easy and worked out very well. The weather during our stay was still cool enough, especially at night, so we didn't make full use of the AC system, but the house seems well equipped to handle summer heat. All in all, we recommend and hope to stay again sometime!

Excellent stay with family, a real pleasure to have discovered Crete and to relax in the accommodation and in the pool morning and evening (and even a few lunchtimes😉). Services that match the location. A splendid and quiet view. Remember to plan ahead for visits because you have to hit the road as soon as you want to visit, however the city center, the beaches and a very good restaurant are within walking distance, pure happiness! A big thank you to the host and the different service teams who facilitate our stay. I'm validating!

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.

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 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 a very nice stay, the house was so lovely, with everything provided even a cleaning service. Restaurants and beach clubs can be reach by foot (approximately 10 min walk). There is a very nice traditional village near the house with excellent restaurants (approximately 15 min walk). But most of all thank you very much Stefani for everything you were so nice and helpful, really many thanks everything was perfect thanks to you 🙏🏼 ☺️

Amazing Vila, will book again! We had a great time in this beautifull Vila. The house is very well designed and furnished, down to the smallest detailes. The kitchen well equiped and we had planty of towels. the outside patio is amazing for lounging by the pool or having dinner in the outdoor kitchen. The heated inifnity pool is amazing! Everything was super clean and comfertable. The beautiful (almost) private beach is the best feature of the vila, and the kyaks were the highlight of our vacation. It should be noted that the acess to the beach from the garden is via very steep stairs, that are a not in great shape and should be fixed. Another small detail for improovment is the Wifi that was a bit weak. Georgios is a super rssponsive host, that helped us with all of our questions, including calling restaurants on our behalf to reserve a table, and being very kind and genarous about a misunderstanding regarding the price of the stay. Thank you so much we had a great time!

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.

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 :)

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.

We felt very good in this environment, beautiful and very peaceful and very quiet. Really very good and it's really what we were looking for. On site there is a restaurant, with of course, Cretan specialties, there is a beautiful swimming pool, and plenty of walking. The sea is 20 km away. It takes a little time to get there because the road has a lot of turns, but we cross beautiful landscapes with olive fields as far as the eye can see The accommodation is very refined and the decoration is beautiful. In short, we spent five really, really, really pleasant days.

Lovely accommodation! Peaceful and cozy!

I can’t put into words how amazing this villa and host was. The host went out of their way to help us get taxis when needed , gave us a late check out due to our late flight . The villa and pool were exactly like the photos. I would highly recommend this place to anyone. We will defiantly be visiting this place again.

I rented Roxana’s beautiful Villa Iliothea for a month to celebrate my 70th birthday. The Villa exceeded my expectations. It was everything described & more. Rozana’s response was always positive, informative, and timely. Rozana went over the top to make my month at the Villa exquisite. The Villa is equipped with any and everything we needed all month long. The beautiful terrace was a place for magnificent sunsets. I would recommend Villa Iliothea for a week or a month. I had a terrific stay, birthday, & Easter because of the passion Rozana put into Villa Iliothea.

Great as always. Thanks for having us.

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.

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

Great place and great living 💪😄
