Where Luxury Meets Experience - Your Trusted Villa Rentals Specialist Since 1984

Here at Freelance Villas we have been selecting exceptional private villas with pools across the Mediterranean since 1984.
We only choose exceptional villas, the type of unique holiday rentals that we would like to stay at ourselves, located in our favourite spots on some of the most beautiful islands; from laid back coastal villages and rural hideaways in Crete and Kefalonia, scenic corners of North Mallorca and Menorca, to  Sicily’s most elegant and historic towns and delightful harbour locations in the Dalmatian Islands of Croatia.

Discover our enviable villa collection, from luxurious villas with infinity pools and spectacular views to comfortable family-friendly rentals close to the sea and amenities, as well as atmospheric fincas and charming village houses for romantic retreats. Each of our desirable villas has something unique to offer to make your Freelance holiday unforgettable.

Book Now for 2026

Now is the time to book your much-needed villa holiday for 2026; not only to ‘bag the best deal’ across our huge range of stunning villas, but also to take advantage of availability to match your preferred dates!

There is always fun to be had when making exciting plans, and especially in the colder and darker winter months, it can be uplifting to have a summer holiday, bright sunshine and the sparkling sea to look forward to.

We are starting to see this reflected in our bookings for 2026 – record numbers have already snapped up their chosen ‘slice of heaven’ to escape to next year, the allure of stunning and sun-soaked islands in the Mediterranean, such as Kefalonia, Crete, Mallorca and Sicily is undeniable, and these ever-popular Freelance destinations are therefore leading the way amongst new and repeat customers wishing to escape their shores for a while.

Villa Karissa with pool and sun terrace and shaded outdoor lounge and dining areas. A first floor terrace with pergola and glass panels around.

NEW FOR 2026

Villa Karissathe perfect location to relax around the large pool and terrace to seek sun or shade.  On the far hilltop, the twinkling lights of Douliana after sunset lights the sky a deep blue.

Villa Karissa’s comfy beds and boho-chic decor and fittings offer a chilled-out feel, leaving behind the busy day to day routine. 

The highlight of the villa is the extremely large pool, with 16 air jets aimed to massage the back and legs, and a large terrace where a plush lounge set & comfortable pillow loungers, and of course sunbeds and umbrellas, offer plenty of options for stretching out and snoozing.

Villa Karissa sits on a quiet back lane just below the tiny hamlet of Agios Pavlos, a mere 900m from the small village of Gavalohori with its choice of traditional tavernas & minimarkets.

Villa Inspiration

Let us help you find your dream villa

Excited about your next villa holiday?
Call us or Chat to one of our villa specialists here at Freelance Villas and let us help you realise your dreams.
Whether you picture yourself strolling through lush gardens at your luxury sea view villa or in a swing chair by the glimmering pool, dining with friends under the ancient olive trees of a charming village house or heading barefoot from your villa to your private bay for a swim, – we can point you in the right direction.

Choose from sleek modern villas with azure tiled pools and spectacular views, idyllic fincas surrounded by orchards offering complete privacy and bursting with tradition and character, or enviable sea view villas on the waterfront with your own garden gate to the beach.

While spacious, comfortable, family-friendly villas with private pools are our most popular rentals, pairs or groups of villas that can be rented together are a definite favourite with sets of friends or extended families, and couples with young kids seem to relax most in a beach house with the waves lapping on the shore at the end of their garden.
However, here at Freelance Villas we respect the individuality of every customer and relish the challenge of finding the dream villa for each and everyone. Chat to us to find out more!
