Villa vacation rentals in Mikros Gialos

I cannot speak highly enough of Villa Maura. Myself and my family, six of us in total had a fantastic stay here. Extremely comfortable, a perfect size to accommodate all of us, good sized bathrooms all with walk in showers. Good facilities throughout and wonderfully clean and tidy. Paul was fantastic from start to finish. Very helpful and informative. We didn't have any issues or problems, but if we did I'm sure they would have been attended to promptly. The pool is a good size and in a great location to make the most of the view. The sun loungers are very comfortable which is always an added bonus. Even though the pictures look stunning, I promise that the view is even better in person - Trust me! Absolutely breath taking waking up to that each morning. A car is essential (although you can get taxis from Nydri if you look into it) but it's only a 10mins drive down to the town. We will most definitely be returning here 100% - Wonderful holiday at a wonderful villa.

Property and landlords are everything a renter would wish for. For the record, I live abroad, but I used to be a local and I know the area quite well. Katerina was very helpful well before we show up to the villa. Excellent communication, quick response in questions, full details provided, and she was very proactive in general. Her attitude and approach was very professional! We also had a baby with us and she prepared everything a baby needs! The property is exactly as expected by looking the pictures. It is located a few miles away from the sea, up the mountainside, with amazing view, amongst Olive trees. What you see and surrounds you is a true Greek countryside! The location is also as good as it gets if you want to travel around the entire island. The pool was great, there is always shade somewhere to hide from the hot sun, And it is very spacious. Overall, it is highly recommended!

Really nice place. Peacefull and intimate, with a spectacular view . We enjoyed it so much , and surelly will be an option when we'll be back on this beautifull island. Highly recommend it.

We (my husband and I and our 2 kids (2 and 4)) had a lovely stay at Villa Rocca! The house has everything you need, is beautiful and has a laidback atmosphere. It is a 5 minute walk to the (pebble) beach and the nearest restaurant is next door! The other restaurants and supermarkets are about 10 minutes walk away. Really convenient! The only thing we missed a little bit, is a nice outside area to sit. There are two yards (front and back), but they are quite small and not very inviting to sit in. It didn’t really matter for us though as we were out most evenings. Lastly, Antonella is a very nice host! She is easy to communicate with, very friendly and super helpful. All in all, we had a great holiday at Villa Rocca and highly recommend staying here!

Upon arrival at villa Maria, it was already like a warm bath: a proud and very friendly owner who waited for us, the full fridge and extras like local honey and wine. And then the beautiful decor, more spacious than expected, and as a cherry on the cake the beautiful view from the large terrace and the lovely swimming pool. We really enjoyed the house, its quiet area with plenty of privacy. The cozy Vathy is a few minutes drive away. Many thanks to Dora and her husband as perfect hosts.

Loved the location, especially the large balcony we spent hours in the afternoon watching the water and the yachts. Also beautiful sunrises from the balcony and worth getting up in the night to marvel at the stars in the night sky. 2 minutes walk to K1 beach. Great swimming spot. 2 of the bedrooms have air con which is great for siesta time. We also booked the newly furnished apartment outside which was a great addition. It also has air con. Great restaurants in Ithaki, in Exogi 'Extra Terrestrial' this one has a killer view, in Stavros 'Delicious' real Greek food and in Vathy 'La Familia' this one has great seafood and of course the ice cream parlour in Frikes. also the local bakery in Stavros is worth visiting for bread and baklava. Would definitely recommend.

An amazing villa. Nice and private located up the hill overlooking Nydri. Thr views are simply breathtaking, particularly at sunrise. The villa is modern and brilliantly equipped for all self catering needs, especially the kitchen and bbq area. The pool is also fantastic, well maintained, and many happy hours were spent in the pool in our stay. Only 10 minutes down hill from Nydri with port, restaurants, shops and small supermarkets. Very accessible to other parts of the island too. Simone was a great host. She was flexible when we were a little early for check in and personalky met and welcomed us. A very generous welcome hamper awaited - much better than anywhere else we have ever stayed. Plenty of large towels, including additional pool towels. We did experience an island-wide water shortage and Simone responded immediately and helped us as soon as was possible. I highly recommend Simone as a host and her property. Book it! You will not regret it!

I don’t know how to start this review. Ann is splendid, a very comunicative host, we kept in touch the whole time before our check in, even month in advance. The photos don’t do justice to this villa. Its gorgeous, very clean, with all the things you need. The view from the pool? Magnificent!!! The quiet all day long? Very much needed!!! The size of the house? Perfect for 6 persons!!! The garden is impecable, the pool is the perfect size, the rooms are very clean and the temperature perfect. AC in each room, even in the living! The bathrooms had good sizes and water hot/cold all day long. The grill? Super usefull. Just turn on the gas tank and you’re good to go. In 20 min you have a nice dinner. The projector? Cherry on top, we watched our favorite shows and movies, late at night. The location? Sure, is a little bit steep, but its right in the middle of the island. 40 min to every beach there. Bottom line is that you have everything you need over there, just take your good vibes!!!

Amazing place! Everything about the villa was exactly as described and shown in the photos which all contributed to a wonderful family holiday. The villa is equipped with everything you might need and the views are absolutely beautiful especially the sunsets. Communication with Panos was excellent and all the food essentials that were left for our arrival were greatly appreciated. All the reviews are 5 star which proves it is a great place to stay. We would certainly love to return!

Such beautiful views and overall a great location for a restful vacation. The villa was very comfortable and felt safe and relatively private.

We had an absolutely amazing stay at this villa! The views were nothing short of breathtaking, providing a perfect backdrop for our getaway. Communication with the host was seamless; they were clear and responsive, making check-in and our entire stay effortless. A highlight for us was when my partner developed a severe headache and, unfortunately, we had forgotten to pack any medicine. To our relief, the villa came equipped with a medical kit that included paracetamol. This thoughtful touch truly saved the day and showcased the host's attention to detail. Overall, our experience was fantastic, and we can’t wait to return again and bring our friends and family to enjoy the breathtaking view

The villa is utterly fantastic. A beautiful home with plenty of space for our party of six. The home was well stocked with amenities, such as towels and loo roll. We loved our stay.

Beautiful and well appointed villa. Stunning views, photos don’t do it justice. Kitchen well equipped. Beds very comfortable. Welcome basket on arrival. Enjoyed having a regular cleaning service. Pool beautifully clean and exceptional poolside furniture. 10 minutes drive from the bay and it’s shops and restaurants. Erez was a superb host. Exceptionally responsive. small issue with the water on occasion, which was quickly rectified. Only other issue was the road up to the villa is steep and would recommend a sturdy car.

Really clean, quiet, nice place. We have enjoyed a lot. Beautiful view from the patio/room/house, close to the city and other attractions. Well recommended.

Our time at the villa was very nice. The property was exactly as depicted in the photos and had nice amenities. Agios Thomas is a quiet town, with great beaches within a 45 min drive. During our stay, we had an issue with plumbing, but Tonia and the Sezian team were responsive and helped us with the issue. Over all, we had a very nice stay.

There are no words to describe this place! It feels like a dream. A fully equipped modern villa, nestled between the mountains, is all you need. The beautifully aligned outdoor space and the landscape tranquility feels literally surreal. Panos is more than a superhost, really attentive and kind! our communication was excellent! Needless to say we ll be back ! Pano Thank you for everything! Vicky, Sienna and parents!

The villa is in a stunning location, with gorgeous views over the sea. The sunset views from the patio are especially amazing. The layout of the villa suited us perfectly, we just used downstairs and didn’t need to use the top floor. There are several tavernas and supermarkets within walking distance, and it’s only a few minutes by car into Fiskardo. The WiFi is a bit poor in places, but that didn’t really bother us as it was nice to relax without it. We definitely recommend this villa and would love to return sometime in the future.

The perfect villa, spacious, spotlessly clean, beautiful gardens and stunning sunsets. It was well equipped with a good size pool our children loved. Lots of shady spots to relax and enjoy the view from when it got too hot to sit in the sun. Our host was very friendly with fast responses and we were made to feel very welcome at the villa as well. Thank you for an amazing holiday.

My stay at Melanie’s place was a treat. Great villa, nice and quiet but close to the main square in Stavros. The villa itself is gorgeous, the photos don’t do it justice, the pool is lovely - great for couples and families. It was the perfect spot for my first trip to Ithaca. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Melanie’s place, it will be my go-to when I return to Ithaca. Worth mentioning that you can walk down to Stavros from the villa, but I recommend hiring a car to truly see and experience everything that Ithaca has to offer.

Stunning location and lovely villa to go with it

We really enjoyed our time here! The house was perfect — even more spacious than it looked in the photos, fully equipped with everything we needed, and with a warm, personal atmosphere that made us feel at home from the moment we arrived. Cedric was a great host and very welcoming. The location is quiet and relaxing, with walking trails nearby and a small shop within walking distance for fresh bread in the morning. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to spend our holiday!

We had so much fun. The place was absolutely perfect. We will definitely be back! Thankyou so much for your hospitality, was very lovely to meet you. Take care… until next time :)
