Family Friendly Villas 

Here at Freelance Villas we have many years of experience in carefully choosing family friendly villas and we have tested several of them with our own families before deciding to include them in this selection.
When considering the most important requirements for a relaxed and fun place to spend a family holiday, in particular with smaller children, we are aware that for many people safety is the first priority, and of course we know that plenty of space is another key ingredient for a successful break. We are aware that the pool will be at the heart of most family holidays and the majority of our family friendly villas therefore have pools, – some gated for extra safety.
However, we realise that other families enjoy a great outside space but prefer to be located near a safe beach and this is why we have also selected family friendly villas that meet this demand.

Villa Holidays For Families

 

We offer a substantial choice of different sizes and multiple styles of villas within our family friendly programme. Our villas range from traditional village houses with plenty of character that allow you to experience the life and cultural heritage of the local community, to luxury family friendly villas set in large private grounds with panoramic sea views and direct access to a beach. We feature a great number of family friendly villas with private pools set in their own gardens with delightful views of either the sea, the mountains or the rolling countryside, – complete with fruit orchards, olive groves, vineyards and little villages dotted around. 
All of our family villas have cots and highchairs included in the price, and all of them offer free WIFI. 

The family summer holiday is surely one of the most anticipated events in the family calendar, a special occasion to spend quality time together, without the pressures or distractions of everyday life.

You will want to choose a villa that will provide the space for all of you to relax and enjoy each other’s company, a family friendly villa that can accommodate people of different ages and has room to unwind in comfort. We can help you select villas that will allow you to create the perfect environment for your personal style of family holiday and to spend the days at your own pace, in your own way.

Villa Menta Kefalonia

NEW FOR 2026

We are incredibly excited to introduce our two exquisite Honeymoon Villas Mela and Menta in the sought after seaside village of Skala, on Kefalonia.

Brand new, in a stunning setting with breathtaking sea views over the bay of Skala, these two luxurious villas were designed with much thought to provide everything couples dream of and finished to the highest standard with all the important details we know you covet when planning a honeymoon or a special holiday. A heavenly place to truly enjoy each other’s company in luxury and style!

Check out the private infinity pool, the breathtaking sea views, the stylish furnishings and the delightful hotel-suite like bedroom… and start dreaming!

We knew these two would be popular, but since we added Mela and Menta to our portfolio we have been inundated with bookings and requests, so plan well ahead if you are looking to stay in either of them in 2026!

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.

Holiday Villas for Extended Families

 

Family villa holidays are also becoming more and more popular with extended families, who enjoy the wonderful opportunity to get together for a longer period of time and properly re-connect. Our larger family friendly villas offer plenty of space to avoid feeling on top of each other, and of course they come with large tables for everyone to gather around at meal times and a barbecue to make the catering more fun. Our villas for large families have a pool of a suitable size and of course sunbeds for everyone – so no need to rush down to the pool first thing in the morning to beat Uncle to the last deck chair!  

Some extended families may nevertheless prefer to book a couple of neighbouring houses or two or more villas a short walk from each other. This way each family unit enjoys their own space and privacy allowing them to continue with well established routines – particularly those involving little children, but with the opportunity to also spend time with the rest of the family.
This way grandparents can see more of the grandchildren and cousins can hang out together;  siblings who live in different parts of the country – or the world – can get together and properly catch up, yet everyone has somewhere to escape to when it all gets too exciting!

You might enjoy eating together (never a problem at a Taverna in Greece or any other type of Mediterranean restaurant, all of which tend to be well versed in providing space for large families and various types of high chairs for little ones), have fun spending time at the beach together or exploring the highlights of your holiday destination.

Our Digital Area Guide

We are happy to make some suggestions or help you decide, and we can assist with other aspects of planning villa holidays for large families.

This villa is highly recommended if you want a premium experience. A beautiful place, private location with incredible views. A car is an absolute necessity as the location is pretty remote. But the drive is so worth it. The whole place enables you to feel relaxed in a place that shouts 5 STAR! We have been lucky enough to stay in some beautiful places across Spain, France, Portugal and other parts of Europe, and we can say this Villa is right up there with the very best. We will definitely return in the near future, it really was that good! Communication from the management company was excellent before, during and after our visit. A very nice welcome pack was very much appreciated on arrival, (which is all to scarce these days). Be mindful that WiFi is not fantastic, so don’t expect to be able to stream movies or download films. But that is a very minor issue when on holiday in this truly beautiful place. The easiest 5 stars we’ve ever given.

To describe the house as amazing doesn´t feel enough. Such a wonderful view, the pool is great, no close neighbors and the house is nicely renovated. 5 minutes to the sea with car and walking distance to good local restaurants and a mini market. Clean and nice inside. We are a family with two kids and it was plenty of space. Great host, easy to commuicate with and really service minded.

Die Unterkunft haben wir in einem sehr guten und sehr sauberen Zustand vorgefunden. Sie ist klasse aufgeteilt und estens ausgestattet und punktet zusätzlich durch den hervorragenden Außenbereich mit tollem Ausblick über die Bucht. Tavernen und Einkaufsmöglichkeiten sind fußläufig zu erreichen, ein Auto empfiehlt sich jedoch trotzdem. Wir können die Unterkunft ohne Abstriche weiterempfehlen!!!

The location & views are breathtaking. The Villa is clean and there is lots of room both inside and out. We didn’t meet the owner or the agent, but everything ran smoothly and communication was easy and responses were quick. The nearby beaches are spectacular and anyone who enjoys sea swimming is in for a treat. Highly recommended.

We had a lovely time in the villa! Check-in was straightforward, the villa was very clean and we loved the view from the outdoor seating and pool area. The location was great; in close proximity to the village of Spartia, and yet still quiet and private. We also tried one of the local tavernas which we found in the Freelance Villas handbook, which was great, too!

I was simply amazed by Diane, Sylvia and the team in Crete They saved our holiday not once, but twice. Unannounced construction works started right next to the villa we booked, which they quickly resolved by moving us to another villa, all very smoothly. And then we couldn’t blame anyone but ourselves for forgetting to take two things from the house (one of which our passports, which we discovered on the morning of departure!) and without any judgment and with total patience and understanding, they arranged that we could pick those up twice (in case of the passports, at 7.00 in the morning!). In general, they were very responsive whatever the question, whether important or trivial. Information before arrival is perfect; they ensure you have all the info about the accommodation and surroundings you need in a comprehensive guide/app. How they manage their service is just so smart and they are a very service-minded team of people themselves, and I’m entirely grateful to them - and will always book via Freelance Villas on any next trip to Crete!

Such a stunning position with breathtaking views all around! Beautiful spot for relaxing and enjoying the outdoor space. We were there in the heat of August so it was too hot to walk to the closest village for tavernas and mini mart, but in cooler temperatures that would be possible.A car is needed to get around but there are countless beautiful beaches and spots to visit within short distances.The communication and attention to any issues arising was faultless.Thank you for a wonderful place to stay and enjoy Kefalonia.

Fantastic villa in a beautiful little village ☺ The villa was absolutely perfect. We were a group of friends and all had large equal rooms. The villa was incredibly clean and the hosts came to speak to us and gave fantastic recommendations. We had a mid week clean when more complimentary cake was left. Would highly recommend this to anyone. As it says in the description, the road is incredibly narrow and a car bigger than a Clio wouldn't fit. We parked at the bottom of the road by the shops and walked up which wasn't a problem. The village and surrounding area is absolutely stunning!

La piscine est superbe avec une très belle vue et des sièges très confortables pour faire la sieste.Tout était très propre. La cuisine est grande et extrêmement bien équipée, il y a tout ce à quoi vous pouvez penser. On a eu un petit panier à notre arrivée avec quelques boissons et nourriture c’était très appréciable.Chaque chambre a sa propre salle de bain ce qui est très pratique.La Clim/chauffage est vraiment super simple d’utilisation et très pratique ! (Il a fait frais toute la semaine nous étions content d’avoir le chauffage ahah).Il y a tout l’équipement nécessaire si vous venez avec un bébé (chaise haute, lit parapluie, cache coin et sécurité pour les portes !)L’hôte est très réactif si vous avez besoin de quoique ce soit ils répondent très vite.Nous avons passé un super séjour et il n’y a vraiment aucun point négatif sur ce logement !
