Rural Villas Off The Beaten Track

We are passionate about discovering exceptional rural villas off the beaten track in the most amazing locations and we have made something of a feature of it over the years.  Below, we invite you to explore our enviable selection of Villas with Pools  in beautiful nature spots, either ‘away-from-it-all’ or in villages where the locals are still truly ‘local’ and village life hasn’t lost its authenticity.

Occasionally, we all crave to step out of our often tumultuous modern lives and escape to somewhere slightly less accessible to people, and away from the demands and interruptions of today’s world. In all of our Villas Off the Beaten Track, this is the type of luxury that comes included in the price!  

Whatever destination you choose for your holiday, you will find both traditional and contemporary Freelance Villas in stunning countryside settings and tucked away villages. However, choosing a holiday in one of our Villas Off the Beaten Track doesn’t mean that you will be completely isolated from civilisation. (That said, we do offer one or two more remote rentals for the true ‘holiday hermits’ amongst you.)

Villa Destinations

The majority of our Villas Off the Beaten Track are just a little out of the way, in places that are worth that tiny bit of extra effort to get to. Once arrived, the rewards are strikingly evident. Whether you wake up to dramatic sea views with ships and sailing boats trailing in and out of a harbour, or snow capped mountains rising above fragrant lemon and orange groves, panoramic vistas of valleys and quaint mountain villages dotted across rolling hills, or vineyards reaching all the way down to the glistening sea.

You may be surprised to learn that many of Freelance’s Villas Off the Beaten Track are still within pretty easy reach of a town. These private villas are located in areas that remain undiscovered by the general tourist. You can thus spend as much of your holiday as you choose enjoying the cultural and leisure offerings within your reach, and return to your own private retreat for the remainder of the time.
We also know a thing or two about beaches and we are thrilled to be able to offer you some beautiful private villas in peaceful settings, yet very near or even beside some lesser visited bays. There may be a strip of sand at the bottom of the garden (or a few steps away), you might be able to listen to the waves lapping at the white pebbles below your window, or you may even find your own flat rocky outcrop with a few steps down into the crystal clear water. 

Explore our wonderful destinations and find the perfect villa off the beaten track for you!

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! 

Freelance Villas Kefalonia, Spartia Villa Penelope: Infinity pool with spectacular sea views and sun terrace with shaded lounge area. Freelance Logo.

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 Karissa, the 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

We do understand that ‘off the beaten track’ could seem a little inconvenient for those who like the occasional meal out, so the majority of our Villas in this category will have at least one cafe(neion), small restaurant or taverna within either a reasonable walk or a very short drive. They will generally be the sort of places that offer a simple menu chalked out on a wooden board outside or a single handwritten piece of card, but will serve up good typical home cooked dishes and often freshly caught fish and other seafare. You will probably dine in the company of locals rather than other visitors from abroad – though always hugely welcome – and unless you are of the generation that still travels with a dictionary, you may find you need to google translate what you are eating. 

The highlights of our ‘Freelance Villas Off the Beaten Track’ are certainly privacy in a quiet seaside or countryside setting – the sort of quiet which may come with waves crashing, cicadas chirruping, birds serenading, frogs croaking, donkeys braying, hens clucking and yes, – the occasional cockerel!
You will not be bothered by loud music or traffic noise or low flying planes, but if you have any doubt about possible local – or more rural- noise, please feel free to talk to us before you book.

You will find that we offer Villas Off the Beaten Track in all sizes and price ranges, and unique as they may be, they all come with the same level of Freelance Villas service and assistance, – should you need it.

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.

We have been at Kefalonia several times, but this was the first time in a villa from Freelance Villas. All in all a fantastic place, amazing view. The villas is placed very nicly (even though the roads to the the villa are very small). Nice, clean villa with everything you need. Any questions was answeared very promptly and the villa owner was also very service minded and helpfull of ordering spesific wine before we arrived.All in all we can absolutely reccomend Freelance villas for any other who will like to visit Kefalonia.

Beautiful house. Very private. Nobody nearby. Definitely must have a car. Pool area big, views spectacular and inside the house is exceptional. Would not hesitate to book again or recommend. Expensive but was a special birthday occasion!

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 !
