Villa vacation rentals in Ierapetra

We absolutely loved this villa, Mania very kindly greeted us at Midnight as we had a late flight, and yes the reviews are right, she arrived with the most amazing moussaka and even made a vegetarian one. Mania was always available for any advice/recommendations and managed the tricky combination of being present but not intrusive. There was also a really thoughtful welcome gift of homemade food waiting for us. The kitchen was really well equipped, and super clean, we ate in a lot and enjoyed dinners on the covered terrace. We loved the pool, the kids especially, we spent a lot of time in the pool as it was very hot. The beds were comfy, the rooms all have their own bathroom, and terraces, there was lots of thoughtful touches throughout. The garden is beautiful and I don't think we managed to sit in all the different seating areas in the week. The winner for me was the decor, it was so beautiful, it was like staying in house in a Home Decor magazine. We will definitely come back.

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!!

We had a wonderful week! The hosts, Mr. and Mrs. Vaggelis were lovely and full of special touches. They were responsive and always available and attentive, making sure we didn't miss anything. Tina, who welcomed us on the first day was also very attentive and super caring towards us! As for the villa, it was perfect from every point of view! The listing photos match reality! I would even say that it was beyond what was indicated! The impeccable cleanliness, the services offered, the decoration and design of the house, not to mention this incredible view of the sea and the island of Spinalonga. I recommend these hosts and this villa! Go there without a second thought! You won't be disappointed! Thanks again 😊

We adored our stay and are so grateful to the owner, Ana Luisa, Marilou, Maria and the team for their kindness and thoughtfulness. Beautiful, remote location. (You’ll need to hire a car). Stunning house and design elements. And such a thoughtful range of help on offer - massages, food, cleaning, etc. Would highly recommend and hope to return. A real gem in a less touristy part of Crete. Quick drive to some amazing mountain towns, and not too far from the airport. Great for families. Enormous thanks!

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.

What wonderful hosts these people are their attention to detail on every aspect of their property is excellent. The place is spotless, everything you need in the villa is there. Manolis and his family are very kind and helpful, do t hesitate just stay here it’s ace!

Just returned from a few nights at this villa celebrating our friends hen party. We all had a wonderful time, the Villa is gorgeous & Angelina was so helpful. The pool area is lovely & the Villa clean & modern. Very cute local cats came to visit too! We didn’t rent a car but could easily organise transfers through Angelina or a recommended taxi company. Also appreciated the airport transfers. Would definitely return!

This place is amazing! Beautiful and very peaceful. Looks exactly like the photos. Kostantinos was an amazing host. He walked us through at check-in and showed us everything.

We had the best time! Maria was so friendly and everything was perfect. We were even invited to eat dinner with them and had a blast. We were 14 people and we had plent of space for us all. It was clean and we even got new towels in the middle of the week which we did not expect. Would absolutely recommend staying there.

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!

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.

From the moment we arrived , we were welcomed in the most beautiful way, an aperitif waiting for us to come! Despite the language barrier, our hosts have always done their best to explain the rules of hosting in case of problems. I want to thank our hosts for their responsiveness and hospitality, thanks to them the stay which was already amazing has become even more unforgettable!

We had a great week at Stavros' villa. Warmly welcomed with a homemade cake, we were able to enjoy the great house and the wonderful pool. We got a lot of tips and were always able to ask for help. We also liked the surroundings and especially the friendly people very much. We will be back. Thank you very much!!!!

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 had an incredible stay at Antonios’s villa and can’t recommend it enough. The villa is even better than the pictures and with the beach across the road was the perfect location for all of us. Plenty of restaurants and things to do within walking distance. Antonios is one of the most welcoming host we’ve had on Airbnb and made us feel right at home on arrival. He couldn’t do enough for us during our stay and had some great recommendations. We will definitely be back!

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.

Nice house, very nice for 8 people. The views are amazing, the terraces are beautiful and the pool is very beautiful! Although we were there in December, we were able to have lunch and dinner on the deck and use the bbq (which was cleaned every day!) and even the pisicine. There is a small beach at 10 minutes walk. Agios is a 5-10 minute drive away. Ionna was very welcoming, responsive, and helpful. We would recommend it in a second.

This was an absolutely gorgeous property. It was spacious, well-maintained, and offered beautiful views of the Aegean Sea. The pool and garden are beautiful. This property also felt private while being a short drive to the downtown area with all the shops, restaurants, and the beach. Would 100% recommend this property!

Staying at this property was truly an amazing experience. The house is a hidden gem, offering complete privacy in a serene and peaceful location, perfect for escaping the hustle of daily life. The property itself is the epitome of luxury—every detail is thoughtfully designed, from the elegant interior decor to the premium amenities that made our stay incredibly comfortable. It felt like a five-star retreat, yet with the warmth of a personal touch. What really stood out was the host’s exceptional hospitality. They went above and beyond to ensure our stay was flawless. Every need was anticipated, and the attention to detail was remarkable — from the impeccably clean spaces to the small, thoughtful touches that made the house feel like home. If you’re looking for a private, luxurious getaway with a host who genuinely cares about their guests’ experience, this is it. It exceeded expectations.

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

Perfect accomodation for our 2 families. Nice garden and terraces. Beautiful views. Quite a challenging and steep access road but we got used to that

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.

Great place and great living 💪😄

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.
