Villa holiday rentals in Kaminaki

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 !

Our stay was not a 5 star stay it was a 10 star stay! Prior to arrival, Georgios contacted us to offer recommendations and ensure we had info to check in. Eleni met us at the villa and gave us a tour. She was so helpful, friendly and welcoming in addition to providing local recommendations for food and activities. The villa was extremely clean, spacious and tastefully decorated with effective AC. The outdoor spaces were relaxing and peaceful . The villa was very private with incredible views and beautiful landscaping including many fruit trees. Plaka beach is just a short drive and we went every day to the Island Cafe for coffee and smoothies. Emmanuel was so friendly as was everyone we met in Crete. We also rented a self drive boat and enjoyed cruising around at our own pace. So much to do nearby including restaurants and shopping. We all voted this the best air bnb we have stayed in. It is even better than the pictures and we would love to return. Thank you Georgios and team!

Antonis’s place exceeded expectations in every way. Our host, George (father of Antonis) greeted us with wine, treats, welcoming words, and two adorable dogs - we felt at home and began relaxing immediately. The grounds were even better than the photos - the house is spacious, comfortable, gorgeous. The upstairs veranda overlooking the sea was a highlight - a perfect spot for morning yoga and evening stargazing. We kept discovering new wonders - the trail to the beach through the olive trees, vegetable garden, exquisite woodwork and masonry; not to mention the incredible views of mountains, meadows, and sea. The sound of the waves all night was a beautiful lullaby. The village is very quiet in early April when we were there. Nothing was open so we brought in all of our supplies, which was good because once you’ve made it down the mountain, you’ll want to stay put until it’s time to leave. - no quick trips into town from there! Def bring a sturdy vehicle! Can’t wait to go back!

This villa is beautiful with an amazing pool and breathtaking views.

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!

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.

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.

Great as always. Thanks for having us.

We have just spent a week at Villa Imperia. It was everything and more that we’d hoped for. The Villa was simply fantastic. Inside and out. Lots of outside space on two levels. Amazing infinity pool looking over Plaka and Spinalonga. The gardens were beautiful too. Beautiful outdoor lighting in the evenings. The Villa was very spacious inside and well equipped in the kitchen. The beds were so comfy. The air conditioning inside was a blessing with unexpected high October temperatures. The daily housekeeping was very much appreciated. Daily towel change and clean sheets every day … brilliant. Plus she was so considerate and helpful. Plaka was easy to walk to. Lots of lovely tavernas. The two supermarkets more than provided what we needed. If you need to chill out, with complete privacy, amazing views and dip your toe into Plaka - this is the place for you. Thank you. We’ll be 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 🙏🏼 ☺️

We had an extremely nice stay at the villa. The pool and the view are simply breathtaking. The rooms are very spacious and there is plenty of space to relax. Everything was very clean and we didn't miss anything. Thank you for everything Stavros. We'll be back!

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!

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 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 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 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!

We had an amazing stay here. The hosts were very friendly and responsive to any questions we had and able to provide recommendations for restaurants and reliable taxi driver. The villa was spotless, well stocked and the aircon worked very well. We also appreciated the midweek cleaning service provided. Thank you so much for an incredible stay, we hope to come back again!

Private villa with beautiful views of the Mediterranean. Local host, Efi, was very responsive and flexible. Fun amenities like the swimming pool, outside terrace seating and ping pong table. 20 minutes drive to Heraklion for excellent restaurants, the lovely Archeological Museum and historic sites like the Palace of Knossos. Would recommend to friends.

We had a great stay at Aurora Villa. The house was very comfortable and the view was beautiful. The host was friendly, responsive, and helpful throughout our stay. We would definitely recommend it.

It was a very nice experience, Nikos was very attent and a good host. The villa is one of a thousand, an unique panoramic view in combination with comfort and luxe. We recommend it to all.

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

This accommodation is a dream - not only well thought out (water backup, pool, outdoor shower, own path to the beach, ...), but also very clean and tastefully and modernly designed (inside and outside). There was nothing missing, so we could enjoy the overwhelming view at any time. Despite some wind, we sat sheltered on the terrace and enjoyed the sound of the sea with Kostas' delicacies (thank you for that). The area is - as we had hoped - quieter and more original than the north coast, but there is still plenty to do. Many restaurants are within walking distance and all the ones we tried were excellent. The place also has some shopping facilities where you can get everything you need. If you want, you can also be in Heraklion in 1 hour. In any case, we were able to relax superbly, enjoyed the sea and the pool and would come back at any time.

Our stay at this villa in Hersonisos was absolutely perfect! The villa is spacious, super clean, and offers a peaceful, private atmosphere — exactly what we were looking for. We especially loved the beautiful pool and the barbecue area, where we spent hours relaxing and enjoying the serene surroundings. The villa is fully equipped with everything you need for a comfortable stay, and the host was very friendly and responsive. If you’re looking for a quiet escape with great amenities, this place is a fantastic choice. We’d definitely come back!
