Villa vacation rentals in North Africa

Lovely villa, staff were easy to communicate with upon arrival, would recommend hiring a car as it’s far out from the harbour and shops - we didn’t know this originally and weren’t old enough to rent a car. Check out instructions were clear. Overall villa had everything you needed and more, would highly recommend staying.

Giorgos Villa was absolutely fantastic. The place was immaculate and exactly as described. We felt right at home. Cold AC, hot showers, clean house and comfortable beds. Sunsets were the best we’ve ever witnessed. Giorgos met us at the location and provided us some starter food and basic amenities that he didn’t have to. He also dropped by fresh vegetables from his garden which turned into some amazing Greek Salads! Thank you for that! I highly suggest you consider this Villa as the property and host are second to none. Thank you for making such an amazing trip for my family.

We really enjoyed the house, everything was according to the photos and expectations. We had a very stay. House is very well equiped, outside is beautiful and well decorated. The pool and jacuzzi are a plus. Location is isolated and only accessible by car.

We had an incredible stay with our family. The photos do not do it justice. It’s so beautiful and so peaceful. There were many lovely welcome food and drinks that we really appreciated. We had many activities and family in the area so we were out and about but were always looking forward to coming back to enjoy the house, the pool, and the gorgeous view. We also loved the hot tub when we got a little chilled from swimming since it was a bit early in season. We made sure to have a day to just do that. We used the indoor/outdoor theatre one night and that was really fun. All the rooms and the kitchen were perfectly appointed. Everything was so well thought out. We can’t wait to come again and stay longer and have time to use the outdoor kitchen, the gorgeous dining room and enjoy the beautiful pool and view again. Thank you Evi for an incredible stay at this beautiful house!

We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful villa! Everything was exactly as described: clean, comfortable, and very well equipped. The view was absolutely stunning, and the pool quickly became one of our favorite features. It truly felt like a home away from home. Communication with the hosts was smooth and pleasant throughout. We would highly recommend this villa to anyone looking for a relaxing and unforgettable getaway!

Our stay at Rui's home in Faja Da Ovelha was beyond our expectations. If you are looking for a more secluded stay with views of your own this is the place. It's located not far from various hikes and you are just a small drive from areas like Sexial, natural pools, and the black sand beach. The cat was a much welcomed friend during our stay, we looked forward to seeing her each morning. We actually eloped during this stay right in the lower garden of the Airbnb, it was such a special day with a stunning backdrop. Rui was so kind to allow us to be able to do this and even brought the gardeners a few days before so everything was pristine. If you are thinking about booking ...do it...you won't regret it.

We had a really great time here! In real life, the place looks even better than in the pictures. The view was impressive every time, you couldn't get enough of it. Everything was super clean, nicely decorated and exactly as you wish when you arrive. The landlady was totally warm and attentive. You immediately felt welcome, and if you had any questions, she was always quickly available and helpful. Overall, it was an incredibly beautiful and all-round successful stay for us. If you could give more than 5 stars, we would definitely do it. We would come back anytime and can absolutely recommend the place!

A truly unforgettable stay in a villa that feels like a dream:spacious, beautifully designed with seamless indoor-outdoor living & framed by breathtaking views of the sea. The pool was pristine, the setting peaceful, and just a short walk away was a turquoise cove perfect for morning swims. We especially loved the nearby taverna, full of charm and hospitality, which even brought delicious meals straight to our villa table. Athina was the most thoughtful host. She welcomed us like old friends, stocked the villa with essentials, and gave us amazing local tips for shopping, dining, and exploring. Her warmth and care set the tone for the whole trip. Her husband welcomed us just as warmly at the taverna, adding to the sense that we were among family. We were also travelling with my 81-year-old mother-in-law who has mobility issues, and Athina went out of her way to reassure us and explain access so we could relax and enjoy every moment. We highly recommend it! Thank you Athina!

We really enjoyed our stay at Carpe Diem 1! What stood out the most was the exceptional help and communication from Sofianos and Panda. Panda arranged all of our transfers at a moment’s notice- each driver was friendly and helpful, and Ernesto was our favorite! He was truly one of the nicest people we met on our trip. The location didn’t feel walkable because you have to walk on a highway, but Panda made getting around super easy with all the rides he set up for us. The beds were very comfortable, and the daily housekeeping was great. The room with twin beds is more of a small alcove than a true bedroom, which may be important to know if you’re counting on four full rooms. Overall, we were so grateful for the incredible service and support we received. I would gladly rent any villa from Sofianos again based on the hospitality alone. The complimentary airport and ferry transfers were also a huge bonus. Thank you!!

This place is a treasure. The views from the living room and kitchen are spectacular. The house has many clever features that are well designed. The area around Almyrida is fun to explore--go down to the beach or on a hike along the coast. Almyrida is a cute beach town, very welcoming. And we did several further from the town adventures. We had no idea that Crete has so much to offer--pottery in Margarites, beautiful beaches, intense hikes, exceptional museums, exploring Hania's historic streets. The property management team were wonderful to interact with. We felt so fortunate to find such a gem. Thank you!!! We sure hope we can return.

A wonderful place to stay. The pool was gorgeous and the villa was spotless. Very peaceful during our may trip. Able to park right outside. Very responsive and proactive host

Villa was fantastic, ideal if you want to be away from the chaos of Fira and Oia. Restaurant recommendations were excellent lots of locals eating in both. Private Catamaran trip expensive but well worth it. Thoroughly enjoyed our relaxed stay and breakfast was a really nice touch.

It was more than expected! We had a lovely holiday for sure!

An absolute gem, we had an amazing stay at Maria's place. The house is absolutely beautiful, modern with quality all around. It's also super private with nothing but nature around you. Will definitely be coming back!!

We had a great and relaxing time. The view was beautiful and the pool temperature 30 was pleasant to swim in. Nice bedroom with ac and comfortable beds. Yvo is a very good host and responded fast if there was any questions.

We had an absolutely unforgettable stay! The host was amazing—super friendly, helpful, and made everything easy from start to finish. The house itself was even better than in the pictures, which is saying something because the photos already looked great. Walking in, we were blown away by how spacious, beautifully designed, and comfortable everything was. But the real showstopper? The view. It was simply stunning—something out of a dream. Whether it was morning coffee or sunset drinks, we couldn’t get enough of it. We honestly believe this might be the best location on the whole island. It felt peaceful, private, and perfectly connected to the natural beauty around us. We left feeling more than happy—completely recharged. Highly, highly recommend!

For anyone who wants a secluded beautiful home with amazing views look no further. This house is even better than described and so well equipped. We loved every moment and Fillip was a wonderful host, who was there to meet us and provide helpful recommendations. We ate at his fantastic restaurant and it was wonderful too. We were also very appreciative of the welcome gifts. A wonderful holiday in a beautiful area and amazing home.

Perfect - we loved it!

Beautiful, modern villa with a huge garden full of flowers, a palm tree, grass and cozy seating areas with fire pit. The location is quiet and remote; there is little to do in the immediate vicinity, but by car you can easily reach spectacular rock formations, natural swimming pools on the coast, beaches, a nature reserve, volcanic mountains and a charming coastal town. An ideal base for adventurous travelers or large families who also want to relax by the private pool, the outdoor kitchen with BBQ or the cozy fire pit. The host was incredibly friendly, thought well and always responded quickly. We felt immediately welcome. Highly recommended if you love peace, space and nature, away from the tourist crowds.

Both Ioanna and Spiros were great hosts. Incredibly welcoming and responsive. Nothing was too much trouble. The villa was beautiful, the views from the pool amazing and it was easy to drive to the old town within 6 minutes. The walk to the beach was about 15-20 mins which we did once. I’d highly recommend this villa and the hosts. 😊

Our host, George, was hands down the best host we’ve ever encountered in all our Airbnb stays. He was incredibly kind, going above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed—including making multiple stops for us and even helping coordinate a food delivery to the house. His local recommendations were excellent, and as history buffs, we especially loved learning from him about the rich history of Crete and the surrounding area. The home itself was absolutely pristine—spotless and brand new, having just been built in 2024. And the views? Truly beyond amazing. I honestly don’t think I’ve ever stayed anywhere more beautiful. The infinity pool was a highlight for our whole family and made the experience feel like a dream. We had plans to explore the area more, but the house was so stunning and relaxing that we ended up spending most of our time right there on the property. It was just that good.

We had an absolutely perfect stay at Oceanica Villa. Located about 45 minutes from Essaouira, it is surrounded by nature, with very few buildings around: a real haven of peace. We felt like we were alone in the world, especially on the huge and deserted beach nearby. Although it's not really possible to swim in it because of the waves, the villa's private pool is superb and more than made up for it! A huge thank you to Amina, whose kindness and benevolence marked our stay. His cooking is a real treat, with a special mention for his fish grills, which were simply exceptional. A big thank you also to Omar, the caretaker, always available and attentive. The accommodation is as beautiful as the pictures, if not more. We recommend this villa without a second thought for a peaceful and rejuvenating stay!

We loved our stay at the villa. The location and the view is amazing. The drive is a bit tricky but it’s worth it. Büşra is very helpful and responsive. We had a flat tyre on our last day and Büşra and her family were very kind and helpful. They helped us with changing the tyre for free. I would definitely book the villa again if I visit the area again in the future.

Host was great, place was great and we enjoyed a comfortable stay. The view was as incredible as the photos!
