Greece Holiday Villas with Private Pools

Greece is all about easy-going days and starry, story-filled nights. It’s a place where villa life comes naturally – think slow mornings, sea views and your own space to completely switch off.

Your own space, your own pace

In a Greek villa, the day runs on your timetable. With your own private pool, you can swim, sunbathe and snooze without sharing the space with anyone else. Whether it’s a peaceful hideaway for two or a fun-filled family escape, you’ll have the privacy to relax exactly how you like.

Villas for every kind of getaway

Our villas in Greece come in all shapes and sizes. Choose from hillside retreats with sweeping sea views, traditional stone houses in pretty villages or sleek modern homes close to the beach. Every property is handpicked for comfort, character and that “holiday starts now” feeling.

Live the Greek way of life

Greece is famous for its warm welcome, unhurried pace and unforgettable food. Spend your days exploring whitewashed villages or heading out on lazy boat trips, then linger over fresh seafood and local wine in a nearby taverna. With your own villa as a base, you’re free to experience Greece just as the locals do.

Wherever you stay in Greece, each region offers its own take on sun, sea and laid-back villa living:

• Corfu – lush hills, Venetian charm and a mix of sandy bays and coves.
• Kefalonia – dramatic cliffs, pine-fringed beaches and pretty harbours.
• Rhodes – golden beaches and a UNESCO-listed Old Town full of history.
• Crete – pink-sand shores, mountain villages and outstanding ancient sites.
• Peloponnese – quiet coves, traditional villages and landmark ruins.
• Olympus Riviera – wide sandy beaches backed by the dramatic peaks of Mount Olympus.

There's something about a Greek villa holiday that will draw you back for more: the millennia-old culture waiting to be discovered, so much food to enjoy, all the while taking in some of the best views anywhere in the world. Discover why Greece is such a favourite destination for holidaymakers worldwide. From historic sites to picturesque landscapes, Greece invites you to explore its treasures and create unforgettable memories.

When you picture our villas in Greece, you’re probably already dreaming of olive and lemon trees, pretty hillside towns and those paradise beaches. The landscapes are stunning, but it’s the coastline that keeps people coming back year after year.

Some of our favourites include:

• Anthony Quinn Bay, Rhodes – a small, secluded cove with emerald-clear water and rocky cliffs, perfect for peaceful swims and snorkelling.
• Petani Beach, Kefalonia – a hidden gem beneath dramatic cliffs, with golden sand and crystal-clear water ideal for a day of swimming and sunbathing.
• Sidari Beach, Corfu – known for its sandstone cliffs and the Canal d’Amour, where legend says a swim could lead to true love.
• Laganas Beach, Zakynthos – one of the island’s longest beaches, with warm, shallow waters and a protected nesting site for loggerhead turtles.
• Balos Lagoon, Crete – famous for its shallow, turquoise lagoon, white sand and striking views, watched over by a Venetian fortress.

Nights in Greece are made for lingering. In Rhodes and Corfu you’ll find buzzing harbours, waterfront bars and late-night music, while the Peloponnese and Halkidiki offer relaxed tavernas and sunset cocktails by the sea. Whether you’re strolling through lively old towns or enjoying a quiet drink on your villa terrace, evenings here are all about good company, soft sea breezes and that warm holiday glow.

Food in Greece is all about fresh flavours and slow, memorable meals. Picture long lunches in Kefalonia with grilled fish and Greek salad by the sea, traditional tavernas in Crete serving local specialities and carafes of chilled wine, and relaxed waterfront dinners along the Olympus Riviera where you can share meze as the sun sets. 

Our villas in Greece put you close to a history that helped shape the world. This is the birthplace of democracy, philosophy and theatre, where great thinkers like Socrates, Plato and Aristotle once walked and where the first Olympic Games began.

From the ancient sites of the Peloponnese and the Olympus Riviera to the timeless charm of Rhodes, Crete, Corfu and Kefalonia, Greece wears its past proudly. Wander between temples, fortresses and old towns, then head back to your private villa to unwind and reflect on it all – with modern comforts, sea views and the freedom to enjoy Greece’s history entirely at your own pace.

Greece is well connected to the UK, with flights to popular airports like Athens International Airport, Heraklion Airport in Crete, and Rhodes International Airport. Flight times are typically around three to four hours, making it easy to reach your Greek destination quickly.

For a hassle-free start to your holiday, you can choose a villa package that includes flights, so you can book both travel and accommodation together in one place, with the added benefit of ATOL protection.

Once you're in Greece, renting a car is often the most flexible way to get around, especially in coastal areas or quieter resorts. With a car, you can explore hidden beaches and villages at your own pace. Ferries and boat trips are also ideal for island-hopping, while taxis and local buses are available for convenient transport within resorts.
