About Freelance Villas
Offering the best Villas in the best location since 1984
Freelance Villas has been searching out individual holiday homes across the Mediterranean since 1984. We have grown to offer an eclectic range of villas with private pools, Beach Houses, character village houses and family-run apartments.
Our ethos has not changed since 1984 we select quality properties that we would choose for our own holidays and have not only inspected each one, but stayed in many. They are set in the coastal villages of Crete and Kefalonia, in quiet corners of Mallorca and Menorca and in undiscovered Sicily.
Every villa, village house or apartment is different and has something special to offer. The collection includes family-friendly villas within easy reach of a taverna, farmhouses packed with original features, luxurious houses with jaw-dropping views and quirky village houses for romantic retreats. A handful of family-run apartments make the grade due to location or personal service.
We bend over backwards to be flexible. From our earliest, pre-internet days we helped guests break free of the seven and fourteen-night package holiday to go ‘freelance“

1984 Freelance Villas first year

Freelance Holidays first Brochure cover in 1984 featured Chania Venetian Harbour in Crete, we had many apartments, hotels and just one villa no pools yet.
A couple of years after this image was taken Chania Archaeological society was formed and was a big force behind the massive renovations.
One of our favourite brochure shots from 1984, the clients children now stay with their children at one of our Villa in Crete.
