Villa vacation rentals in Ligaria

We had an amazing 1 week stay at this beautiful place. Also the host was so sweet in helping us. She made sure we found the house during night time and got some food for us for breakfast. Also the place was very clean and the kitchen has everything you need. This place is just magical with the beautiful sunrise every morning. Also the inside of the house and spots outside the house give a very cozy feeling. We would also definitly recommend to hire the chef-kok for a night. It was one of the highlights of our stay because of the amazing food and their kindness to us. Would love to come here again!

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!!

My girlfriend and I stayed here for 3 nights during our time in Crete and absolutely fell in love with the place. The home is so cozy and has everything you need from the moment you walk in. Maria was super helpful and made sure we had what we needed for a comfortable stay. Set in a rustic village with amazing views of the skyline, this place is one you should book for sure. Super close to the town of Rethymno, with many shops, restaurants, and beaches a short drive away.

Une villa au bout du monde, perchée sur une falaise avec une vue exceptionnelle sur la mer et les montagnes environnantes… idéal pour des vacances paisibles et reposantes, loin du bruit et de l’agitation. Plages sympas à 10 minutes en voiture (Agios Pavlos) et tous commerces nécessaires à 20/25 minutes (Agia Gallini). Nous ne pouvons que recommander !

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!

Great villa perched up on a hillside, with stunning sea view. You definitely need a hire car as nothing much within walking distance but this was clear when we booked. Three lovely bedrooms, 2 en-suite. The outdoor kitchen is a really good feature. Friendly host who was flexible with check in and out times. Thank you for a lovely stay!

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.

The house and the view is amazing. This is a very good place to stay and really recommend this place for a short stay in between Chania and Heraklion. You need a car or a motorbike to go around but besides that a very good place

מאד נהנינו בחופשה בבית זה הכל היה נקי ומסודר. הבריכה מדהימה והחצר מפנקת. המארחים מאד נחמדים ואדיבים. השירות היה יותר מן הכלל. היתה לנו בזכותם חופשה מושלמת. ממליצה מאד על הבית ומקווה לחזור להתארח בו.

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!

We had a wonderful 5-day vacation at the villa. The property was stunning! It was tastefully designed, offering full privacy, and was super clean. We used the brick oven to make pizza and also enjoyed the pool. Everything was just as it looked in the pictures, and the villa was equipped with everything we needed. Pandelis, the owner, was very responsive to all of our requests and questions. I highly recommend this place!

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.

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!

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!

We had the most dreamy of times at the villa! Maria gave us a warm welcome and made us feel at home right away. We loved her hospitality and proactive hosting, giving us tips and recommendations of places to visit in the area. The place provided everything one could wish for, from pristine looking rooms to hammam showers, a fine gas bbq and shaded terrace, glorious swimming pool, comfy sofa and a kitchen chefs would enjoy. The surroundings are to die for. Sinuous roads and endless sea views, unique beaches, but also mountain hikes, gorges and wine tastings not far at all (car is a must). Closest taverna has delicious food. Agia Galini is a short drive away and offers all essentials should you need to shop, eat out, find an atm or go on a fishing boat trip. Thanks again for a fantastic stay! We will be back sooner than later!

Just wow! This place was breathtaking and even better than the pictures. Very large and clean space. Just make sure you have a rental car as it is more secluded. Which was just what we were looking for in this part of our trip :) would definitely go back!

Sehr schöne Unterkunft und viele hilfreiche Gegenstände und Werkzeuge fürs Grillen als auch zum selber kochen tolles Geschirr und Besteck. Zudem Toilettenpapier, Handtücher etc. sind auch kostenlos mit dabei gewesen, sowie kostenlos Kaffee und Zubehör. Die Unterkunft hatte wirklich alles was man braucht. Die Villa bzw. der Urlaub war mein persönlich bester Urlaub.

Great location and we’ll appointed and pool was lovely with great view over the sea. We will definitely recommend and will be back

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.

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.

Wir waren eine Gruppe von 8 Personen, und alle sind sich einig, dass die Unterkunft sehr gut war. Die einzige Überraschung war die Auffahrt zur Villa diese war sehr, sehr steil. Zu Beginn war das etwas gewöhnungsbedürftig mit den Mietwagen, aber Übung macht den Meister, und es gab keine Schäden zu verzeichnen. Die Check-out-Zeit war sehr flexibel, wofür wir sehr dankbar waren, denn unsere Flüge gingen erst sehr spät. Egal ob Männerurlaub oder ein Urlaub mit der Großfamilie die Villa Ligaria bietet für alle die perfekte Unterkunft. Und dank des netten Hosts gab es auch noch ein paar Informationen über die nähere Umgebung. Netterweise hat dieser auch schon Getränke für uns bereitgestellt, sodass wir zu Beginn mit dem Nötigsten versorgt waren.

Ein sehr netter und sehr hilfsbereiter Gastgeber und ein wunderschönes Haus.

The house and views were beautiful. An out of the ordinary sandstorm rolled in and the owner immediately came to clean the outdoor area. She was very responsive and attentive. The house had everything we needed to cook breakfast. There are very few walkable places, but if you have a car, it is no problem. We would return, it was perfect for our group of 6.
