Villa holiday rentals in Vathianos Kampos

Very nice new villa, with a great pool area. An outdoor kitchen with play area for the children is also available in the lower part of the complex. Good opportunity for activities. Not far to the beach.

Great for a group, whether family or friends. Expectations were exceeded and the host was super friendly and helpful. Would come back any time.

Elini's villa is absolutely beautiful, very clean, exactly as described, and easy to get to from the airport! Elini is a fantastic host, she helped us arrange taxis throughout the week to various places and was always quick to respond to messages! I had messaged Elini to let her know our flight had been pushed back and we weren't due to land until past midnight, Elini went out of her way to make sure we had some fresh fruit, bread, juice and water so that we could have breakfast as the supermarkets would have been closed when we got there. Unfortunately we had a Saharan sand storm during our stay however Elini and her family came the following day to remove the orange residue and spent the entire day cleaning to make sure we had somewhere we could relax. I would 100% recommend booking Elini's place if you are looking for somewhere quiet and beautiful to relax!!

What a wonderful experience we had here! Xristos and his family went above and beyond to accommodate us and their hospitality was impeccable- we felt like family. We are a family of 5 - including a baby and Xristos made sure so provide a crib, a bed rail, children’s toys for our girls and a lovely welcome basket with goodies. He was extremely helpful when it came to local recommendations. We would recommend this home to anyone and would definitely stay again.

Stayed with a group of friends for a week and had a great time. Faidra was quick to respond and proactive throughout our stay, providing all sorts of helpful recommendations. The villa was spacious with a great pool and barbecue ready to roll. It’s located in a quiet area so you’ll need a car, although within walking distance you can get to a few local shops, a lovely taverna, an olive oil mill (would recommend a tasting) and, if you want to give the driver a day off, a winery about half an hour hike away. All told, was a great base for exploring this part of Crete and fantastic value.

This space is absolutely beautiful. Huge apartment with all the amenities we needed for our stay. Would recommend to anyone visiting Crete!

Wow ! Wow ! Wow Just don't know where to start. From the minute that we arrived everything was perfect. Thanos was by far the best host that we have ever had. The swimming pool was the cleanest and best maintained that we have ever come across on our travels. Can not believe how quickly Thanos responded to an issue with leaking washing machine with brand new one delivered and fitted within 12 hours. We where in Crete for our friends daughters wedding and asked Thanos for recommendations for local hairdresser. He told us most where closed on Mondays but went above and beyond to find one in Heraklion , booked appointment and arranged a taxi to take us. Can not recommend this villa highly enough. Outstanding!! 10 STAR rating for Thanos and his amazing cat Nicos. We would not hesitate in returning.

the place was very beautiful, peaceful, and relaxing. we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and exploring the surrounding areas and culture. thank you

Me and my family had a great week at Villa Aires. The house is very special - set on a mountain side with incredible views up and down the valley. The sunsets each evening were perfectly framed by the landscape and some of the most beautiful we have seen. We hired a vehicle for the duration of the holiday and I would say this is essential for a holiday here - the price you pay for the stunning surroundings is that the house is quite remote, only the local village is walkable (charming but just a couple of restaurants and a small shop on offer). A car also gives you the opportunity to explore this area of Crete which has lots to offer with beaches, history, markets, harbours, beautiful towns. As long as you’re happy with the location, this villa is a no brainer. We would stay again without hesitation!

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.

Great place to stay! Gorgeous views, large home with plenty of space.

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!

We had a wonderful holiday. The villa is lovely and was perfect for a big family. Audrey is a great host who was so helpful throughout but especially with the challenges of the late arrival and checkout. Location is great and facilities were also great and exceeded expectations. A special mention for Wayne (the handyman), he took care of the garden, pool etc and is a bit of a legend👏. We would definitely look to book here again.

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.

The villa looked exactly like photos, the host was super helpful and friendly. We had a great stay and would recommend it to anyone!

One of the best stays in airbnb over the years. Perfect place for staying with kids, lots of toys and everything. Our 3 year old son was really enjoyed. Giannis and Mara were really helpful about everything. They booked us transfer from airport for late night arrival and booked us a rental car for the next morning which we picked up at the door of the villa! This was one of the easiest and convenient option. I left my sunglasses at the rental car, they found it and will send me by shipping. Best hosts and best place to stay! Hope to meet you again.

We had a fantastic time. The villa is stunning and had just been freshly renovated. Everything about it is designed to maximize the beautiful views, the airflow, peace and tranquility. The hosts were communicative, kind and generous with flexible check-in and out. The fantastic pool area, stonework, bathrooms, kitchen, linens, sauna/steamroom, washer & dryer, game room -- all were top quality. This was easily the most beautiful AirBnb we have ever stayed in. It was a good home base for exploring Crete. We were also happy to save one day for relaxing at the villa. We were only a family of four, and the villa could have easily held twice as many. Would love to return one day. Made wonderful memories here.

The house was great great. The family found it super comfortable and the pool was wonderful!

Our stay here was excellent- the villa was perfect - with great open plan kitchen , dining and lounge areas . Bedrooms were comfortable with air conditioning in all but one . The pool was perfect - good size and great temperature. There was a variety of balconies to use which meant you were not on top of each other . There were ample towels and lots of crockery and cutlery which meant you did not have to put the dishwasher on after every meal ! Easy walk to the beach and local bars and into the small town. Good location for sight seeing and lots to do and see within an easy 20 min drive - can highly recommend. Welcome food parcel was so appreciated and a lovely touch .

The house has everything you need to spend a stay away from mass tourism while being close to everything: two restaurants in the center of the village 3 min walk, two small grocery stores 5 min walk that have all the basic products for cooking, large supermarket and sandy beaches 10 min drive. The village is peaceful, the house stays cool despite the heat, the outdoor spaces are as in the photos, the beds are comfortable. We had a great stay and communication with the host was very simple and responsive. Recommended! Just one thing to keep in mind with small children or reduced mobility: all the rooms are on the upper floor and the stairs are narrow.

Excellent experience! The house was spotless, comfortable and very welcoming. The location is quiet and ideal for relaxation, with absolute privacy. I would choose it again without a second thought!

Our stay at this villa was great for our large group, including two toddlers. Host Nikos welcomed us with a stocked fridge and pantry (milk, water, juice, cereal, bread, pastries), setting the tone for an amazing stay. Nikos was always available through offering exceptional communication, and ready to recommend anything we needed. Convenience is key here, with two bakeries a short 5-minute walk away and a small mini market just 4 minutes on foot. For sightseeing, we used "Private Grouse Drive Sense". Our driver, Panagiotis, provided us with a true white-glove experience – from the luxurious van he drove to his proactive communication, punctuality, and thoughtful recommendations. It truly made our trips comfortable and utterly unforgettable. Panagiotis even helped us with transportation options in Santorini and Athens, making our entire trip exceptionally smooth. Overall, our stay was incredible, and the private driver service elevated our experience. Highly recommended!
