Villa holiday rentals in Istro

Beautiful spacious villa set set in the hills above Sitia. Cool, comfortable, stylish and well equipped inside , fabulous large outdoor area with terraces, eating area, shady green garden area and pool with loungers. We enjoyed a great week under cloudless skies chillling at the villa and visting Sitia (good selection of waterfront restaurants ) and surrounds. The best beaches are half hour or more drive away but well worth the trip. The local village Piskokefalo (a short drive away) has a great taverna with simple, good value local dishes. Mania our host was very welcoming, friendly and attentive. The welcome pack with home made Moussaka and the surprise little departure gift were lovely touches. Thank you . Highly recommended. PS The Richtis gorge walk is a great outing but wouldn't recommend driving down to Richtis beach - very scary !

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.

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!!

Das Haus ist sehr komfortabel. Man wohnt auf 4 Etagen, was kein Problem ist, da es innerhalb der Wohnung neben den Treppen einen Personenaufzug gibt. Auf jeder Ebene gibt es eine Terrasse mit einem grandiosen Blick über den See auf das Meer mit den Bergen. Die Möbel sind modern und sehr hochwertig. Manos ist ein sehr freundlicher und hilfsbereiter Gastgeber, der stets erreichbar ist, da er im Haus nebenan ein Café und ein Restaurant betreibt.

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!

We had a wonderful stay at Manos house. The place is much bigger than it looks and was very impressive. Air con in every room, plenty of amenities, comfy beds, abundance of bathrooms and balconies so you can choose to sit in the shade or sun. Location was great, short stroll from the town, beach, and lots of restaurants as well as super markets on the doorstep! Manos was a great host with good communication throughout and answered any questions we had while there was also very accommodating on check in/ out times with our flight. Will definitely be staying again. Thank you!!!

Väldigt rent. Allt i bra skick. Snabb service vid behov. Supertrevligt värdpar🤗

We were returning visitors, and enjoyed this house just as much as the last one. Everything was beautifully clean and we were very comfortable and well liked after during our stsy

Ήταν όλα τέλεια! Ένα όμορφο μέρος που προσφέρει ακριβώς αυτά που υπόσχεται. Κοντά στην πόλη της Ιεράπετρας για οτιδήποτε χρειαστεί αλλά κ αρκετά και ταυτόχρονα ήσυχο ώστε να προσφέρει την ηρεμία που χρειάζεται κάποιος για να ξεκουραστεί.

Wonderful modern place. Exteremely spacious and we loved relaxing by the pool and enjoying the views. Simos was excellent - super responsive and provided extra tips and recommendations such as restaurants and supermarkets. All our requests were met, with an infant cot and high chair provided for our baby and the washer and dryer were very handy!

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!

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!

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.

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!

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!

We had a great time at Villa Adagio in Vrachasi. Great base to visit other places like Agios Nikolaos to find some sunshine and beautiful surroundings during the first few days of our stay before enjoying the heated pool at the weekend. In Vrachasi you’ll find some really good tavernas with the nicest people. Charis, George and Sofia were very attentive and responsive throughout our stay catering for all our needs. Simply excellent hosts!

We had a wonderful holiday at the beautiful Villa Cristina! The view is unforgettable, sunrise is especially magical! The Villa has a tranquil setting in the hillside but there is a lovely little seaside village nearby. Liza was very responsive to any requests and helpful with recommendations. We would highly recommend!

L'environnement est très calme et très privé. Une belle vue sur les montagnes et l'espace extérieur bien aménagé, avec une petite piscine. La taverne Stavrakakis à 2 km de la maison vaut le détour ! Il faut aussi aller à Kritsa pour visiter une magnifique église Panagias Keras et pour acheter des produits locaux élaborés par une coopérative de femmes ! Des nombreux sites archéologiques, notamment la cité ancienne de Lato, sont à une courte distance de la maison. Nous étions accueillis par Maria ; ses conseils et son assistance tout le long de notre séjour ont été très appréciables.

Magnifique maison, une vue incroyable, la maison est parfaitement propre et correspond aux photos. La maison se trouve sur une colline qui comporte plusieurs maisons, et la propriété est fermée par un portail. Alex est très arrangeante et réactive. Elle nous a aidés à trouver des restaurants et à toujours répondu rapidement et avec beaucoup de gentillesse à nos demandes. Je retournerai avec plaisir chez Alex.

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

Очень уютное и просторное жилье , находится в очень тихом месте , но при этом все в доступности , хотели бы вернуться, хозяин очень отзывчивый ,быстро отвечает и всегда готов помочь , отдельное спасибо за гостинцы при заселение

Very high class Villa, if you are looking for quality accommodation then look no further. My family consisted of 7 adults and an 18 month old, stayed for 8 days. Everyone loved it. There is a great traditional taverna only 10 minutes walk away, a big supermarket 15 mins by car and great beach again just 15 mins by car. We were there in May, spend most of the time around the pool and firing up the fantastic BBQ!

Séjour incroyable en famille dans la villa que nous propose Nikos ! L’hôte est tellement accueillant et réactif à nos demandes, c’était parfait !! De bon cœur et très bienveillant (malgré notre anglais imparfait …Aha) . Nikos a su nous conseiller sur les restaurants, épicerie … tout ce dont nous avions besoin. Au niveau de la maison vraiment rien à dire, c’était tellement agréable et apaisant. Ah oui aussi ! Nikos nous a servi une huile d’olive incroyable qui vient de ses vergers ! Nous referons et conseillerons cet endroit à 1000%. Un grand MERCI Nikos
