This private, trendy new villa, equipped with all the mod-cons, is situated on the Ierapetra hills and overlooks the sea.

Really enjoyed our stay. Stunning scenery around the villa!

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-st... more

I have stayed in a lot of airbnb's all over the world. This is the best one I have ever visited!!!! The house and grounds are amazing, the village of Kavousi is beautiful, tons of things to do in the area. George provided excellent recommendations for restaurants, beaches, and activities. There should be a 6th star option!!! Thank you for everything!

We had an amazing time in George's villa. The weather was still warm, and everything you could think of was provided for. From the bathrobes with the logo of the villa on the back to the cleanliness of the whole house, the beautful pool... you could tell that George really puts a lot of heart and effort into this offer. George was very reliable - whenever we had a question he answered within m... more

Our stay at Villa of the Hill was amazing! The villa is exactly as beautiful as in the photos, with stunning views and a peaceful atmosphere. It’s located on a hill, offering breathtaking mountain views, and is a short drive from the charming village of Kavousi, where you’ll find a small grocery store, cafés, and restaurants. A rental car is essential to explore the area, which is perfect for hiki... more

It was a really great stay. George was a top host and the villa was vert clean. We can recommend this villa for your holiday!!

Manos was an AMAZING host! His house is beautiful and has every extra that you can possibly think of. Manos received us on short notice (day of) after we had an unpleasant night at another house we had booked. He met us at the house, showed us everything we needed to know, and even invited us to a family event. The house is definitely worth the money. The view is incredible and the outdoor area is... more

Bien plus qu'un simple hôte, George s'est montré extrêmement disponible, bienveillant et empathique. Nous avons séjourné une semaine dans sa splendide maison qui jouit d'une incroyable partie extérieure, absolument magnifique. Un vrai havre de paix où il fait bon vivre et se ressourcer

Our stay at Villa of the Hill was truly the best experience. We were taken aback by the outstanding hospitality and breathtaking views. The owner, George, was an incredible host and made us feel right at home. Our only regret is not booking a longer stay. We hope to come back again one day.

We stayed here for our second week in Crete and our first villa had been fabulous, so Villa of the Hill had a lot to live up to, luckily it was fabulous! Giorgios was a very friendly host and couldn't have done more to help us. The villa was really well stocked, beer, cold drinks, lots of thoughtful touches, and we were greeted to a plate of cheese/olive/salad on arrival. Everything is very new, i... more

We stayed here as a family of four in mid August. The villa is absolutely beautiful, it lives up to everything the pictures suggest and more! We were greeted at the villa by George, who was fantastic throughout our stay with great suggestions for places to eat, things to see and things to do - we also got to experience George’s mother’s delicious cooking! The villa is a gem and I highly recommend ... more

This is a hidden gem and I strongly recommend. When looking on Airbnb you may find similar ‘looking’ properties at a similar price but they will not come with the same level of privacy - you really do have a large area to yourself. The views are amazing with hilly backdrop, hills, olive groves and the deep blue sea in the distance, as well as the twinkly lights of the local town nestled in the hil... more

Our stay at this villa was nothing short of perfect for our family of four. The home was a true slice of heaven, offering a serene and comfortable retreat that exceeded our expectations. The host, Georges, was generous and kind, he treated us with an enormous welcome pack and home made cake! He was always ready to help with a smile and ensured we had everything we needed for a memorable stay. He g... more

Ich war eine Woche mit meiner Familie in der Villa ? (viel zu kurz ?) Es war einfach wunderschön ? Die Kinder haben sich direkt wohl gefühlt und den Pool im Anspruch genommen ? Diese Villa, diese Ausstattung, diese Ruhe und Aussicht sind es 100% wert ! Unser lieber Gastgeber ist so ein liebevoller Mensch ?? Wir haben uns mit ihm sehr wohl gefühlt. Er war immer da und hat uns viele Tipps und Orte z... more

Me and my friends booked this villa to recuperate after Glastonbury, and from the moment we arrived we knew we’d made the decision of a lifetime. The villa itself looks exactly as impressive in person as it does on the photos, and the landscape it sits within is somehow even more remarkable. It’s a really thoughtfully designed space, with carefully considered features that made our stay all that m... more

Georgios, der Hausbesitzer, ist mit Abstand der freundlichste und hilfsbereiteste Gastgeber den wir bisher hatten. Die Lage der Villa ist ein wahrer Traum: sehr privat und in einer atemberaubenden Kulisse gelegen. Uns hat es an nichts gefehlt. Wir würden jederzeit wieder kommen.

Une très belle maison, fonctionnelle, bien équipée dans un cadre magnifique. Une piscine au sel agréable et rafraîchissante, la plage à 2 mn en voiture. Coup de cœur pour le jardin impeccable et original. Et enfin mention spéciale à Giorgos, le propriétaire, pour sa gentillesse, son hospitalité, sa disponibilité, ses adresses et sa bonne humeur. Merci pour ce séjour réussi.

Villa's host - George - is an excellent person, his kindness and hospitality is on the most upper level! Villa is a dream house with full of facilities , in a fantastic place , with a breathtaking view - swimming in the colorful pool, drinking your wine and relaxing! We wish to be able to stay there forever! For sure we will visit George and his villa at first opportunity in the future.

Wunderschöne Villa mit traumhaftem Ausblick auf die Berge und das Meer. Alles war super sauber und gepflegt und entsprach zu 100% den Bildern. Auch die Ausstattung ließ keine Wünsche offen. George war ein perfekter Gastgeber, hat uns bereits mit Getränken und Snacks empfangen und uns mit wertvollen Tipps für Ausflüge und Restaurants versorgt. Wir hätten uns keinen besseren Service vorstellen könne... more

Ein traumhafter Urlaub dank dieser atemberaubenden Unterkunft! Die Kommunikation mit Manos vorab war unkompliziert und wir wurden sehr herzlich von unserem Gastgeber Giorgos empfangen. Die Villa ist noch schöner als auf den Fotos, makellos sauber und besitzt eine voll ausgestattete Küche. Sie ist geräumig und die Betten sind bequem. Wir waren begeistert vom Aussenbereich mit Pool und Outdoorküche ... more

The host was nice and helpful, ensuring we had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The property itself was beautiful and offered a great level of privacy, which made our experience even more special. My kids absolutely loved it, especially the spacious outdoor area where they could play freely and the wonderful pool. Overall, it was a fantastic experience.

We had a very relaxing week in this fantastic property. George was a wonderful host. He gave us loads of information about the villa and the area before we travelled to Crete. He left basic food, drinks, fruit and a welcome platter for us on arrival. He met us when we arrived and made sure that we had everything we needed. He came round every morning to maintain the pool and saw to any issues abou... more

We have spent one week with our kids in the villa and it was great! The villa is amazing, you can enjoy the great nature and atmosphere, the outdoor area is huge and the pool was always very clean. Our 3 year old daughter enjoyed the playground a lot. It had everything to make our kids happy and busy for a while and we could enjoy the views while they were playing. Great communication and support ... more

A fantastic villa in a lovely part of Crete. This was the perfect place for our family of four including two young children. The inside of the villa has loads of space and a great set up for family. The outside was the best we’ve seen on AirBnb with a heated pool and private playground. Kids entertained all day. Location great but car recommended which gives easy access to Agios Nikolaos and Eloun... more

One of the nicest villas we’ve ever stayed in! The pictures really don’t do it justice, the location and surroundings were beautiful and easy to explore the island. George the host was fantastic and always available if we needed anything. Weather in April was glorious and the heated pool was incredible. Would recommend the villa to anyone looking for a peaceful place to explore this amazing island... more

Absolutely incredible! I honestly don’t think you could find a better villa for a family holiday. We are a family of four, two adults and two children (aged 5 and 3); and we spent an idyllic six nights at the villa (we wish it had been more!). From the moment we booked, the communication was fantastic, and we were met by our host, George - who is the nicest man you could ever meet! Full of local s... more

Wir waren begeistert von der Villa mit Pool! Nicht nur war die Unterkunft in sich ausgezeichnet, sondern wir fühlten uns schnell wie zu Hause. Georgios hat sich sehr großzügig und liebevoll um uns und die Unterkunft gekümmert, ink. Empfehlungen usw. Wir können die Villa nur empfehlen und hoffen sie wieder irgendwann zu besuchen.

Great host The house is new and clean and all you need is provided Perfect location if you want to switch off

We loved everything! A few highlights: 1. Villa: Luxurious, modern, extremely clean - spotless, lovely furniture, well appointed 3 rooms and 2 bathrooms, all equipment you need including TV, portable speaker, sufficient and very clean cooking equipment and great coffee machine, all essential household basics provided as a complementary gesture including complementary beers, drinks, crisps, breakfa... more

Super nice home and host. We stayed for about a week and will definitely come back. The kitchen was pretty well-stocked when we arrived (including food and drinks), and everything was super clean and modern. We stayed around Christmas-Time to New Year, and the house was beautifully decorated.

We had an absolutely fantastic time at George's beautiful villa, I cannot recommend it highly enough. The property is immaculate. The bedrooms are spacious with plenty of great storage, and plug sockets in the right places. The kitchen has all the appliances and equipment you need, including a great little coffee machine. The outside space at the villa is superb, the views are stunning, mountains ... more

Die Villa in den Bergen von Kavousi ist ein absoluter Traum. Die einmalige Lage und der Blick in die Berge ist einzigartig und bezaubernd schön. Der Außenbereich ist super großzügig und lässt keine Wünsche offen, ob Pool, Sitzbereiche, Outdoorküche, Spielplatz, alles sehr geschmackvoll und perfekt angelegt. Wir haben uns hier einfach nur wohl gefühlt. Der Gastgeber George ist herzlich, aufgeschlos... more

Das Haus und der Aussenbereich lassen wirklich keine Wünsche offen. Es gibt aussen verschiedene Sitzbereiche, welche alle ihre eigenen Reiz und Charme haben. Es wurde alles sehr schön und geschmackvoll ausgestattet und bietet sämtlichen Komfort um einen traumhaften Urlaub zu verbringen. Wir haben noch nie einen so netten, hilfsbereiten und unkomplizierten Gastgeber wie Georgios kennengelernt. Viel... more

We had an incredible stay at the villa for 10 days with 4 adults and 2 young children. George was an amazing host. Friendly, helpful and responsive. He had gone to the trouble to ensure all our requests for our infant were met and his mother made us an amazing meal also during the stay. The villa itself is every bit as spectacular as the pictures show, in pristine condition and very well appointed... more

Wir haben Mitte September 2023 zwei wunderbare Ferienwochen in der Villa genossen. Das Haus und die Umgebung sind in einem besten gepflegten Zustand. Das Haus bietet nebst dem zweckmässigen Küchen-, Ess- und Wohnbereich zwei Doppelzimmer mit einem zugehörigen Bad/WC/Dusche und ein Einzelzimmer mit einem separaten WC/Dusche. Das Inventar lässt kaum Wünsche offen, es ist nahezu alles vorhanden,... more

We had a very nice holiday in this great villa. Quiet and surrounded by nature, we were able to enjoy our holiday. The host George was always available if we needed anything or a tip from a local. When we arrived late in the evening on the day of our arrival, his mother had already cooked dinner for us. It was very tasty. George always answered promptly and really went out of his way to make sure ... more

A great place to stay and a great host in George. He’s extremely helpful and goes out his way to help. Lovely Villa, 100% recommended.

This is a wonderful place to stay. The villa is as beautiful as the photos show, tidy, well equipped and comfortable. The location is fantastic, with the lovely village of Kavousi a kilometre or so up the road and Tholos beach similarly close. If you have a car you can explore further afield; pretty much any route offers amazing mountain scenery. The villa is a great base to explore from. What rea... more

What a fantastic Villa. Immaculately clean, well furnished and very comfortable. The outside space is delightful and the pool perfect. A quite location, so private. Not far from the sea or local village. An absolute delight. George the owner is a perfect host who could not be more helpful or accommodating. This is a true five star Villa.

The outdoor area from George’s place is just outstanding. Beautiful view on the olive trees, the dramatic mountains and the sea. From the sunset on the mountains, and the star gazing at night, it is an amazing place. The pool is also great and lit up at night. For people who like privacy, it is hard to do better. Have a young kid, having a playground area was really great. Apart from the place whi... more

Villa of the hill is A fabulous place to stay. The villa is well kept and all things have been well thought. Lots of high quality stuff in the villa and the terrace with A view, vow? pool seemed smallish in the picture but is well sized. Kavousi as A village is nice with couple of good restaurants and supermarket. The location is perfect to visit South coast, Elounda and Agios Nikolaos. George was... more

The Villa is exactly like the pictures. Actually the swimming pool is larger in real life than it shows on the pictures. It is perfect! In the late afternoon and evening (summer) our favorite spot was the outside lounge area at the edge of the terras. It had a stunning view and an always pleasant breeze. The host George lives in Kavousi and was super proactive in communicating about arrival time, ... more

Très belle villa, dans un magnifique paysage. George a été un hôte 5 étoiles, avec tous ses conseils, ses attentions et le repas cuisiné par sa maman. Je recommande vivement cette location

This Villa is amazing, if you are looking for beautiful and peaceful location I don’t think you can find better - Manos was helpful on messages and George who ran the villa day to day was great also. George organised boat trips for us, made sure we had everything we needed and also went as far as to bring us some food his mother cooked which was delicious. The outside pool area and kitchen is so b... more

We just came home from the most beautiful vacation we could have ever dreamed of. We have spent four weeks at the villa and everything was perfect from the beginning until the end. On our arrival, we were greeted by George, the owner, with appetizers which was such a nice surprise. And during our stay, George made sure that we have an amazing experience while in Crete by i) giving us the best reco... more

Unser Traum vom Himmel - Umrahmt von Olivenbäumen in völliger Ruhe mit Blick auf‘s Meer und die Berge gelegen, und doch ist man nach 20 Minuten Fußweg in Kavousi und in wenigen Autominuten in Mochlos oder Pachia Ammos mit guten Restaurants oder am wunderschönen Voulisma-Strand. Sofern man die Villa denn überhaupt wieder verlassen möchte. Denn auch hier kann man am Pool, beim Barbecue oder am Kamin... more

Wir haben uns von Anfang an wie zu Hause gefühlt. Die Fotos stimmen mit allem überein. Es ist blitzsauber und Georgios ist ein sehr herzlicher Gastgeber. Er versorgte uns mit allen Informationen und war jederzeit erreichbar. Die Küche ist vollständig und mit allem, was man sich wünscht, ausgestattet. Der Aussenbereich mit dem beheizten Pool ist fantastisch und sehr grosszügig. Die Aussicht ist tra... more

We loved our stay here! The Villa was incredible, pool was heated and ready to go as soon as we arrived. Everything was clean. Owner was awesome and always responded to questions right away and gave great recommendations for food and things to do in the area! Couldn’t recommend staying here more we loved it!

This home is as amazing as the pictures suggest. It is like stepping into a photo in a magazine. We loved everything from the pool and massive outdoor space, to the view, to the well-equipped kitchen, to the comfortable beds. Georgios, the owner, met us and welcomed us with such warmth and hospitality. He had even set out appetizers and raki, and stocked the cupboards and fridge with food and drin... more

I can honestly say this is the BEST airbnb we have stayed in, EVER. Manos and his company were extremely helpful in facilitating this property for his but the real star is George - the owner of the property. He is simply the nicest, kindest and most generous person you could wish to meet when taking a holiday. Nothing was too much for George, he was always on hand to help with any request we may h... more

It was a great stay at George's beautiful home. He was always able to help us when we needed tips with the area or had other questions. On top we could enjoy a very delicious lunch cooked by his mother. All in all we would come back anytime. Especially the outdoor kitchen was our highlight : )

We had an amazing time! Beautiful location, excellent facilities and exactly as described! We were met on arrival by George (owner) with welcome drinks and food as well as a stocked fridge and cupboards (and valentines decorations ?). George went above and beyond during our stay to make sure we had everything we needed and answered any questions we had. We couldn’t fault a thing and are already pl... more

Easily top 3 places we’ve been to, so far! The property looks exactly like in the provided pictures. The owner himself met us at the property and welcomed us with food and drinks and explained us the most crucial details about the house and the things to visit nearby. He was always reachable 24/7 and made sure we had a pleasant stay, yet accepted our privacy. George’s mom even cooked for us once a... more

Dieses Villa kann man zu 150% empfehlen. Die Bilder im Inserat und alle Angaben entsprechen der Realität vor Ort. Die Villa ist im Sommer 2022 fertig gebaut worden, daher ist alles neu. Das Anwesen und die Villa sind super gepflegt und alles ist sehr hochwertig. Die Küche innen und außen, ist super ausgestattet. Das Anwesen ist sehr weitläufig und geräumig. Im Badezimmer ist alles vorhanden was ma... more

we had a wonderful stay at Villa of the hill. george the owner is super accommodating and his villa is just how it looks in the photos. it was perfect for our 18month old daughter to explore and she loved the playground. George was always at the end of the phone if we needed anything and we were welcomed with nibbles and drinks at check in. His mother also cooked us a local dish to experience whic... more

Alles ist traumhaft! Der Ort und die Unterkunft sind unbeschreiblich schön!!Sowohl Kavousi ist sehr süß und die Einwohner sind alle sehr freundlich und zuvorkommend! Manos als auch George sind super tolle Gastgeber und sehr zuvorkommend!!! Danke für alles George!

Unser Aufenthalt in dieser wunderschönen Villa war Urlaub der Spitzenklasse! Die Villa selber ist modern, sauber und gut aufgeteilt. Die Außenanlage mit Pool und einer tollen Außenküche das absolute Highlight! Unser Host und Freund Georgios hat das Ganze allerdings nochmal getoppt! Er hat sich trotz der späten Anreise am Abend noch sehr viel Zeit genommen und uns das gesamte Anwesen gezeigt und al... more

The host, was amazing. U arrive like an guest and u leave like a friend. The host was very easy to talk with, if u need something he will respond directly and if u need him he will come in 10 minutes. The host and his mother cooked for us 1 day very nice and let us taste a lot different food and home made drinks. Overall amazing house, a lot of space outside and if u need a small retreat best plac... more

Wir blicken auf einen unvergesslichen Urlaub zurück, der uns für immer in Erinnerung bleiben wird. An dem Tag der Ankunft hatten wir kurz nach der Landung bereits Kontakt zu Georgios, dem Eigentümer der Villa. Georgios hat uns sofort mit Informationen rund um die Villa versorgt. Wir konnten sogar etwas früher in die Villa, weil die Reinungskräfte bereits fertig waren. An der Villa angekommen wurde... more

Gorgeous new property on the Eastern coast of Crete with a very comfortable outdoor space for full relaxation. Behind the house is a mountain, in front a plantation of olive trees and you can also have a partial view of the sea. The host has equipped very well the house with all amenities needed for the stay and everything is working very well. Our host was very attentive to our needs and woul... more

Il pourra vous suggérer des activités, des endroits à visiter ou comme ... more

We spent 10 days at the Villa of the hill at the end of July 2022. The villa is located in the middle of nature, among olive trees, surrounded by mountains, with a partial view of the sea. The 180° panorama is extraordinary. The house is new, perfectly equipped with quality materials and furniture. The outdoor space is very well designed, especially the summer kitchen where we had all our meals. ... more
