Villa Eugenia - Heated Pool by Temma Villas
This architecturally designed modern new home might just be one of the most beautiful places that we have ever stayed at. The open concept, spectacular pool and separate shallow pool for younger children are absolutely magnificent. The ensuite washrooms are just beautiful, each room designed differently and the kitchen is a chef's dream. Location is very quiet and close to shopping. The host is extremly responsive and I would highly recommend this property.

Villa Aura Pine
Look no further! Aura Villa is the perfect place to relax and enjoy the beautiful views. The villa is very spacious and had everything we needed. We almost didn’t want to leave! Make sure you visit George’s restaurant down the street. The owner George and his wife are so kind and the food was delicious.

2 Luxurious Villas with Private Pool & BBQ Area
At a modest price our expectations were not too high, however the owners’ hospitality and everything about the villa and location were great! The pool was cleaned very often and the grass mown. There was a third villa who we met for only a few hours but were also extremely nice and easy to get along with. There are some great restaurants and a nice strip of bars/restaurants for a good price at the beach which is only a few minutes away. Very impressed! Thank you George!

Carob Villa I, Luxury Family Hideaway Private Pool
Amazing stay, exactly as described on the listing. Beautiful view, very clean premises, lots of kitchen utensils, BBQ worked well. We cannot ascribe any faults to this stay, it was 10/10. Perfect for a couple stay.

Mama la Roosa Luxury Retreat
Our stay at Mama La Roosa Villa was a dream. Petros was an outstanding host who went above and beyond to ensure that we had a relaxing stay in Agia Pelagia. The villa was stunning - it had gorgeous ocean views from every angle, beautiful landscaping, and a modern design with every amenity needed for our trip. The villa felt quiet, private, and safe. We enjoyed watching the sunrise each morning. We enjoyed the pool and backyard dining area so much that we decided to skip the beach! The warm hospitality from Petros is what made the stay - he arranged reservations at the best local restaurants and wineries. We felt that we were able to truly experience Greece thanks to our stay with Petros at Mama La Roosa Villa. We wish we could stay longer and can’t wait to return. Thank you Petros for an unforgettable experience!

Villa Ria/ 4 bedroom with Private Pool & Sea View
The villa was lovely, with a great view, plenty of space and a well equipped kitchen. The host was excellent, very helpful and very responsive. We had some initial teething problems with the internet, contact the host and he was at the villa resolving the issue within 10 minutes. I would definitely go back. Thank you Simos

Family Villa Bella Elena with Heated Pool
The villa was excellent! We enjoyed a wonderful stay here in the glorious secluded Cretan mountains. Some things we thought were excellent: -very spacious master bedrooms -excellent pool area, bar and outdoor dining area, including barbecue -incredible views over the sea -great parking -felt very secure Some things we thought could be better: -some minor things broken (like door handles and windows), but we did stay at the end of the season and imagine they will be fixed before the next peak period -slippy floors that could be dangerous when wet -water pressure in the upstairs showers wasn’t great -kitchen is on the small side Also the villa manager Dimitris was very hospitable, responsive and friendly. And there was also a lovely cat that befriended us (we called her Lesley) who we all took a shine to. All in all we really enjoyed our time at Villa Bella Elena and would recommend it highly to large groups or families.

Sissi Lux Maxima Villas 2 Private Pools, 22 Guests
Anastasia and Dimitris were the most fantastic hosts - from even before our arrival they were incredibly friendly and helpful, right up until the end. They assisted incredibly promptly whenever we had any issues and the villa exceeded all expectations. Pristine rooms, fresh linen and towels, local recommendations and an amazing space for outdoor dining and BBQs. I highly recommend this villa to anyone considering heading to Crete. There are stunning places to visit (gorges, beaches, coastal villages, islands) within 30mins drive or Sisi is 25 min walk away for local food and bars.

Dievandi Seaview Villa with heated pool
the best airbnb we have ever been too! Stavros is so nice and helpfull the house is just perfect cozy clean beautiful very very recommended!!!

Gaia Signature with Private Pool
What to say … This is from far the best villa we ever rented, with a fantastic see view, a very large clean, well equipped house perfectly described by our host. Pool house is very convenient to cook close to the pool area. Rent a car and visit the cute village nearby at 3 min, you are at 30 min from Heraklion. The area is quiet and easily accessible. Katarina has been exceptional offering us a welcome diner with traditional food cooked by her for us. She recommended our car rental, organised an easy pick up and drop at the airport. We thank you so much Katarina. We warmly recommend your beautiful house to rent. It comes with an exceptional host 🙏👍🤍💙🇬🇷

KYMO Instyle Villa - Sea view Private pool Jacuzzi
Villa Kymo exceeded our expectations. We had a great time, thanks to Michaela and especially her mother Eva. The villa has everything you need for a wonderful holiday: a large heated pool, a spacious terrace with a magnificent view of the sea and a cozy barbecue area where you can spend the evening over dinner. We really want to go back there 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 :)

Villa Angelika two-storey house with pool for 7
We had an amazing stay. The house is beautiful and as described. The house and the grounds were pristine. Tony and his family were very friendly, accommodating and greeted us early morning for check in. They provided drinks and breakfast for the morning which was fantastic as we were travelling with 2 small boys. Highly recommended and look forward to returning.

Blue Velvet Coast Seafront Villa with Heated Pool
We had a great stay at this beautiful property—it was clean, spacious, and perfect for our group of five. Each bedroom having its own bathroom was a huge plus, and we really enjoyed the pool and outdoor seating areas. The kitchen was well-equipped, and the views of the surrounding area were lovely. The location is peaceful and quiet, away from the noise of the city, but still just a short drive to several great beaches. The host, George, was very responsive and helpful throughout our stay. He explained how to use the smart panel to turn on the boiler for hot water when he met us at the property, but we didn’t follow the instructions as closely as we should have the first morning, which caused the water to be cold. The boiler runs for 30 minutes at a time and seems to rely on solar heating, so hot water can be limited if multiple people shower back-to-back. Turning on the boiler in advance and spacing out showers made a big difference. Highly recommend this place!

Villa Capri
We had an amazing time in Villa Capri. It was absolutely spotless and had everything we could possibly need. We stayed here with 3 of our children and the villa and pool was very well maintained and safe for them. The location was fantastic. You walk out of the villa and straight into the village square, which is beautiful with lovely restaurants, bars and bakeries. Really hope to return one day. Thanks again Jackie, Rae and Jason

Villa Verde with infinity pool!!
Check-in and check-out was super easy. Our host was very accommodating. There was a nice and delicious host gift to get in. When the vacuum cleaner was broken, he picked it up and brought it back a few days later. The villa is slightly elevated overlooking the infinity pool, associated olive grove and Malia. The view is gorgeous. You are lonely (except for the crickets), but still within 10 minutes walking in the city, where there are a bakery with delicious cakes and baguette / croissants in addition to several supermarkets, lots of restaurants, right by the church. The house is equipped with everything you could need. It is nicely decorated, with decoration, many pictures and books (also which in German). There is a foosball that we liked to use. The pool is gorgeous, about 1.40 m deep (our son is 1.44 m tall and was able to hold your head over water on your toes. The pool may be 6m x 3.50m. It's just appreciated. He was enough for us. It is nice that often despite the 30 - 32 degrees Celsius a light wind went, so it was a lot of fun to stay in and around the pool. We were able to park our rental car under a carob tree on the property, so that it was always in the shade. We highly recommend staying at Villa Verde.

Sunset and serenity villa - Alejandra

Villa Zeus Crete
Great place and great living 💪😄

Villa Ligaria, Heated Infinity Pool, Free Cleaning
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!

Heraklion Twins House - Private Pool Retreat
The Twin House was a fantastic experience. From the moment the our host Georgie met us at the ferry, we knew this was different. He drove us to get our rental car then we folllowed him to the house. There he showed us around and explained the features of his beautiful house. He even had us follow him to a restaurant in he next town , that he knew would still be open. Georgie was the epitome of the perfect host. The house was wonderful. Three great bedrooms, 1 1/2 baths , the xtra toilet and sink made mornings so much easier! Great parking and a lighted pristine pool. If we ever return to Crete we know just where to stay. Thank you Georgie.
