Villa with Sea Views

Do you dream of waking to the waves glistening in the first rays of sunlight or would you call a sun set or the rising moon’s reflections on the evening sea the perfect backdrop to your romantic dinner? Do you simply love to gaze at endless blue horizons from your sunbed or pretend you are surrounded by the sea in your infinity pool?
Whatever your preference, we can help you choose your ideal holiday rental from our stunning selection of sea view villas. 

Here at Freelance Villas, we can advise you on beautiful sea view villas along the coast so close to the water that you will be able to fall asleep to the sound of the waves lapping onto the shore, and stunning holiday homes with the sea practically at the bottom of the garden. In our extensive collection you will find private villas with sea views perched on green hillsides surrounded by delightful scenery, with a backdrop of the sea and the sky merging into each other, and for those of you looking for the charm and authenticity of a village location, we feature villas with pretty sea views over terracotta tiled rooftops and church spires below.

The right Sea View Villa for you

Our Freelance Sea View Villas selection ranges from large villas with oodles of space which extended families or groups of friends will enjoy, to small romantic sea views villas and waterfront attics with views of the harbour; – perfect for honeymooners or couples looking for some quality time together.
We all know how idyllic it can be to spend time in a place where one can gaze out onto the sea from morning till night time. Watching the sun set above a distant horizon and the colour of the sky turn into oranges and pinks, has to be one of the top daily delights of your villa holiday in the Mediterranean. 

Our selection of large villas with sea views is made up of homes with plenty of living space for all guests. When you holiday with either your extended family or as a group of friends, or if you are booking for the many members of your own family, it will be important to have enough living space for everyone to be comfortable.
It won’t be the first thing that comes to mind, on the contrary, you will more likely remember the wonderful views, that delicious meal in the local taverna, the evenings you all BBQ’d together and of course the shared experience and fun; however, we believe it will be much easier to spend time together and unwind, if you get to take some time out here and there. We all like to stretch out on a sunlounger for a little snooze or a good read, maybe indulge in a spot of yoga or just have the occasional one-to-one chat. Therefore Freelance Villas’ larger sea view villas offer enough space inside and outdoors to allow for this.

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.

The majority of our sea view villas come with a private pool for the whole party to enjoy and a number of these villas even have stylish infinity pools. If you, like some of us, are really serious about sea views and would like to also enjoy them while swimming in your pool, then we will of course be happy to point particular villas out to you.

When you take your family or loved ones on holiday, or stay with a group of friends at one of our many beautiful sea view villas, you will find yourselves either within walking distance or a short drive from a restaurant or taverna where you can enjoy a meal out and sample the typical cuisine of your location. Therefore, if your idea of self catering doesn’t go beyond rustling up breakfast and some poolside snacks, you won’t feel the need to move a finger.

All of our sea view villas also come equipped with a BBQ, which makes for an easy and fun option where everyone can join in and lend a hand. If, on the other hand, you are passionate about cooking and enjoy shopping for local ingredients at the market, you will have a well fitted out kitchen at your disposal to create your own delicious spreads, and there will be a comfortable and attractive outside dining area (with more sea views!) for everyone to feast together.

Should you require any assistance with choosing from our sea view villas, please don’t hesitate to get in touch. We really do know our villas and will be very happy to point you in the right direction.

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!

Nous avons passé une semaine dans la villa Kalypso et tout était parfait.La villa est magnifique, autant en intérieur qu’en extérieur. 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 !
