Greek Villa: Complete Guide for Choosing the Best

Congratulations on choosing Greece for your holidays! You have decided where to go but still struggling to find the perfect Greek villa? Read our complete Guide for choosing the best Greek villa and enjoy your holidays with elegance.

If you are longing for delicious food, crystal clear waters, a shiny sun, and rubbing shoulders with locals, looking for a unique and memorable experience then booking a Greek villa is the right choice!

Renting your own villa has many advantages. You get your privacy and freedom; which is ideal for all kinds of groups- families, couples, friends. Plus you get to experience the destination more like a local. It’s like a home away from home.

It is also a great way to celebrate in style a special occasion. Even if it’s a birthday, a honeymoon or a wedding anniversary, the villa will be both a venue and a place to stay. And it is easier to organize the event details, such as cakes, decorations, music or any other special service.

Set your expectations before booking your Greek Villa

Location

Location is of high importance when choosing your Greek villa. Do you prefer a sea or a mountain view? In a remote location or close to a village? In a walking distance from a beach? If your aim is meals by the pools, listening to the summer breeze then being in a secluded location is ideal. But if you are looking to head out each night for cocktails then being close to the town sounds more viable. All those are important questions that you need to answer before booking your villa.

Time of the year

Greece is a popular destination, especially during summer. Depending on where in Greece you are traveling research the high and low season and pick what suits you best. If you seek to relax in a remote beach, stroll in empty alleys and not bother to book in advance then the off-season months are a better option. If you expect to socialize and explore the destination’s nightlife and buzz then look for something during the high season.

Greek Villa Price

Set your budget and look villas relevant to that. In Elite Estates we offer many options for most budgets so surely you will find something to suit your price range requirements. Bear in mind that prices in Greece tend to be more competitive in late spring and early autumn.

Your interests

Depending on your lifestyle and interests, look for a Greek villa with the right amenities and extra services. For example, if you are a foodie the option for a private chef might be essential. Or if your daily workout is super important then a gym is paramount to your stay.

List of necessities

It will help you to write down what you need the villa to have. This way you will be sure not to forget anything important. If you are an avid cook it might be important to have a fully equipped kitchen, dishwasher, and a BBQ or if your work is in your daily routine you will need a reliable, fast wifi connection.

Book your Greek Villa in advance

As with everything in life, good things get snapped up. Ensure you have enough time to research your options and tailor your villa to your needs and aesthetics. After all, personalization and customization are 2 of the main reasons to book a villa.

Style & Deco

Interior and exterior styles are very important to our relaxation and joy. Think of where you want to wake up, take your coffee, and live your Greek myth and then look for that villa. The size, number of rooms and bathrooms, pool or no pool are also critical factors to create an experience to remember. 

If you are on a family vacation with your little ones you should ensure that the villa is suitable for kids and offers any extras you might need.
