Unforgettable, unbelievable!
We spent 8 days at Leyla Luxury Villa and were devastated to leave. The place is far better than the photos — perched perfectly with a view so outrageous it almost feels staged. Morning coffee overlooking the sea, sunset dinners by the pool — it’s the kind of spot that makes you rethink your return flight.
The villa itself is gorgeous, spotless and beautifully designed — every corner feels cared for. You can tell the owners aren’t just renting a house; they’ve built something with real love and pride. Every little detail works: the bedrooms are beautiful it's a shame to leave them, the indoor and OUTDOOR kitchen is perfect for cooking, and everything from the pool, to the seating, to the multiple balconies and lighting has been thought through. And you feel it.
The location is a dream — peaceful, private, yet right next to great beaches (literally minutes) and charming tavernas that you never feel cut off. And the owners — amazing people!! Warm, attentive, genuinely kind. They made the experience seamless from start to finish.
If you’re thinking about booking — don’t overthink it. Leyla Villa is one of those rare places that delivers on every promise and...
Read moreWe had a fantastic week at Leyla Luxury Villa in Crete.
As a group of seven—three couples and one solo traveler—we travel often and have stayed in many villas over the years. Villa Leyla stands out as one of the most enjoyable and well-thought-out properties we’ve experienced.
The villa is spacious, beautifully maintained, and perfectly equipped for a group. Each couple had privacy and comfort, and the shared spaces—especially the pool area and outdoor dining spot—were ideal for gathering together, enjoying the sun, and sharing meals with a stunning view.
The location is excellent: peaceful and private, yet just minutes away from Elounda and Agios Nikolaos. We loved exploring the area, but were always happy to come back to our serene retreat. Everything worked perfectly—from the Wi-Fi to the kitchen appliances to the air-conditioning—and we appreciated the attention to detail throughout.
Our host Mr. Aharon Farkash was gracious, helpful, and responsive, making everything easy from check-in to check-out.
Highly recommended for families or any group looking to enjoy the best of Crete in comfort and style. We would happily return!

Read moreOverlooking a high cliff over a breathtaking view that melts the heart, Villa Leila offered our family both the luxurious shared spaces for group meals and joint gathering as well as the indulging private suites where we could rest and relax. We woke up every morning and had to "pinch ourselves" to make sure we are actually in this paradise of a place with an amazing view. We admired the architectural design and the special attention that was invested in the interior of the villa as we also enjoyed the comfort of all the services the villa provided (for example, Wi-Fi, fully equipped kitchen and of course the pool and Barbique :)corner which was we made sure to fully take advnatage of., It was fun to drive just 20-30 minutes to Agios Nikolaus for a night out and shopping but coming back to the villa remained at the peek of the visit. We left with a taste for more and are already thinking about the next excuse...
