Villa vacation rentals in Nisida Kolokythia

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.

Truly beautiful villa! The photos simply do not do this place justice - this wonderful ‘wow’ factor home & surroundings are gorgeous. My family felt immediately at home & relaxed. Villa was clean, well stocked with equipment & our hosts Eleni & Marinos were lovely - both on hand when required & respectful of our privacy. We received a welcome package which was very thoughtful. Filter machine meant no need for bottled water. We walked up to Old Hersonissos a couple of times & enjoyed some lovely food & a little shopping in a vibrant atmosphere. Also we went shopping down in Limenas Chersonisou. We enjoyed BBQ at our villa, eating outside during a full super moon! 🌖 The mountain, the sea view & the sunsets are absolutely stunning. The outdoor gazebo area is fantastic for chilling day or night, with cold drinks (or ice creams) immediately on hand from the outdoor fridge. A/C great for all different areas, but the breeze was just as nice sometimes in the main area. Highly recommend 😊

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 😊

A fantastic villa with a wonderful host. Emmanouil was great from booking, with a few questions we had before we arrived, to check in, during our stay and also for checking out. So pleasant and helpful. The Villa was really clean and modern, well furnished and had everything we needed. We would definitely recommend this villa!

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!

We had a great stay. Thanks so much!

We stayed in this villa for a week, the location was great with a lovely local town just a short walk away, The villa is in a very nice quiet location and only a short drive from the capital and other towns too, Dimitrios is a great host, offered us plenty of recommendations and checked in often to make sure everything was perfect with our stay, would definitely stay with him again.

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.

Perfect host , nice please .. I recommend.

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.

Here's a very nice but clear review: ⸻ We were received extremely friendly upon our arrival – a perfect start to an all-round successful stay. The accommodation is top in every way: modern, clean and superbly equipped. Particularly noteworthy is the quiet location directly on the sea – absolutely idyllic. The garden area is lovingly maintained and invites you to relax. The highlight was the heated private pool, which made for perfect swimming even on cooler days. We felt very comfortable and would definitely be happy to come back.

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.

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!

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 had the opportunity to ask for help at any time. We also loved the surroundings and especially the friendly people, we will be back, thank you so much!!!!

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!

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!!

Really enjoyed our stay. Stunning scenery around the villa!

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.

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.

Great place and great living 💪😄

Nice hosts and super responsive Nice but not necessary to have a car. Shops and restaurants nearby. Good base for trips around the eastern part of Crete
