Villa holiday rentals in Ligaria

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!

Everyone should book this place! The views you see as you enter are astonishing. Federico was so so helpful throughout the trip, providing local products and recommending places that you wouldn’t find in any guide book. I’m already telling all of my friends and family they need to book this place.

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!

Diana and her brother were very responsive, very clean house with many possibilities on foot: shops, beaches, restaurants. We recommend this property.

We had a wonderful time at the accommodation. There were nine of us travelling and the place was spacious enough for all of us. The view was incredibly beautiful, and both the kitchen and bathrooms were superbly equipped. Everything was spotlessly clean. We can wholeheartedly recommend this accommodation to anyone wishing to visit the island of Crete, with nothing to complain about.

The most wonderful stay in an incredible country.. We didn’t want to leave! Teta is lovely, generous, and respectful.. the perfect host. Beautiful home, perfectly located, surrounding area has so much to offer. Our neighbour left us oranges every day too! We miss it already.

Great place! Beautiful view. Wonderful outdoor area with pool. Paying extra for pool heating was worse it. Sea shore across the street from the villa but might need to walk couple of minutes to sand beach with umbrellas. Grill was available per request. Some restaurants are within walking distance, but I would recommend renting a car. Hosts are very responsive.

This place is the best villa I’ve ever stayed in. The pool the views the gym the beach is perfection. The hosts are amazing and so kind. We got lost and they came all the way to find us. So friendly and always responded. I wish we had more time there. We will be back. Definitely stay here if visiting Crete.

An amazing place, beautiful interior and a superb outside space. Definitely lived up to expectations.

Lovely house nice a quiet and peaceful good location in the middle of the island easy to find. The English host / contact was brilliant very friendly and nice could help more and provided loads of recommendations

Beautiful place, great for families. Lots of toys and even a potty for the kids! Cleaner came mid week which was not necessary but so great. Beach is a 3 min walk. Really need a car to get there which was fine for us! Thanks for everything.

Spent my 50th bday at Nikos place and it was 10/10! There was 7 of us girls and the place was so spacious, private, well equipped and extremely clean. We loved that we could walk to PIGI (5 minute) to the market and a choice of 3 local restaurants. Nikos helped me set up car rental, massages, boat and he had excellent restaurant recommendations. All 10/10 especially our massage therapist. She was the best massage I have ever! we all had 2 massages each as she was that good. I think we will have a yearly trip to Crete and will be returning to Nikos place. Both him and Alexia (whom maintains the property) were amazing and managed all requests! Thank you again for a memorable time in Crete!

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 an amazing time staying at this beautiful house! The space was exactly as described—stylish, comfortable, and well-kept. Our host was extremely responsive and incredibly helpful throughout the stay, always quick to answer any questions and offer assistance when needed. There was an unfortunate sewage smell that made things a bit unpleasant for one day, but the host was very supportive, provided helpful advice right away, and did everything possible to address the issue. We really appreciated the quick and caring response. The host was also very welcoming and flexible, even accommodating us with a later checkout, which made our departure much easier. The housekeeper was absolutely lovely—so kind and warm to us, which added a really personal touch to the stay. Despite the minor hiccup, we truly had a fantastic time and would happily stay again!

The house is simply gorgeous. Our family had a wonderful Christmas holiday here. The host was very generous with items in the refrigerator and a well stocked kitchen. Lots of recommendations of places to eat in the area. Michael met us in the driveway upon arrival and showed us everything in the house, that was very kind. Especially loved access to the washer and dryer because we were traveling with kids. It was too cold to use the pool, but if you are here when it is warm, it would be such delight.

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!

Very nice accommodation and many helpful items and tools for grilling as well as for cooking yourself great dishes and cutlery. In addition, toilet paper, towels, etc. were also included free of charge, as well as free coffee and accessories. The place really had everything you need. The villa and the vacation were my best vacation ever.

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!

We had an incredible holiday in Plaka. The villa is tastefully decorated and equipped for a relaxing holiday, but the best part was the views and the attention we received from Tina, Aspa, and Angelis, who were always friendly and willing to help us enjoy our stay.

What a fantastic place! Perched at the top of the hill overlooking the beautiful sea, our family thoroughly enjoyed the space, view and atmosphere. The house is beautifully decorated with well thought out space, we were a large family and still felt like we weren’t in each others hair. Highly recommended place to stay on the beautiful island of Crete.

We had a great time on this villa.. The pool and all facilites was absolute stuning..we looking forward for next year to come back..thank you

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

This was the most beautiful place our family has ever stayed and the best airbnb experience we've ever had! It was great for a family vacation and the villa was equipped with everything we needed. Kostas went above and beyond with everything - his mother came and cooked a Cretan meal for us on our first night, there was a homemade Greek cake, wine, and eggs. We recieved fresh eggs and more wine (made at the villa!) every few days, as well as more towels. We truly couldn't have asked for anything better - there was even a couple local cats who we managed to persuade to come say hi. This is THE place to stay!

We thoroughly enjoyed the Villa and felt at home in this peaceful and luxurious space. Highly recommend Georgina, Jenny and George as a team supporting our chef experiences, local recommendations and house needs. We came with another couple and had plenty of space - and could easily see coming back with our extended family! Highlights: snorkeling off the pier at the house, a pet gecko, in-house massages with Angela, and morning coffee with gorgeous sunrise views. We laid out by the pool daily.
