Notos Estate
Private villas and five-star property management on the south coast of Crete.
A villa for your Crete
A selection of the best private villas for rent in Plakias, Mariou, Lefkogia and Asomatos — gorgeous sea views, luxury amenities, and our local team behind every stay.
Who we are
Notos Estate Management is a luxury villa rental and property management company in the south of Crete. Over more than five years, our personalised five-star service has made us well known to guests and locals alike.
Villa owners choose between full management — sit back, we take care of everything — and online booking management, for owners who arrange the upkeep of their villa themselves. Guests get a villa that is looked after by the people who know it best.
Staying with us
Every Notos villa comes with the same promise: a private house, and a full team behind it.
Personal from the first message
Our multilingual reception team is in direct contact with you well before your arrival — and can arrange a fully stocked fridge, or a birthday or wedding package, before you land.
Concierge during your stay
Recommendations for beaches and restaurants, or a massage, hiking trip or diving session arranged for you — our guests enjoy a five-star concierge service throughout their stay.
A local team, close by
We only manage villas within 30 minutes of our office, so someone who knows your house is always nearby — year round, and at short notice.
Book directly
Every villa has a live availability calendar and direct booking — no platform fees, and the same team answering before, during and after your stay.
For villa owners
Let us look after your investment — renting without the hassle.
Property consultancy
Certified hospitality professionals, tax specialists, lawyers and real-estate professionals with over 30 years of experience — we can advise you before and during your purchase.
Property management
We take care of every aspect of your villa: garden, pool, ad-hoc repairs, maintenance and administration.
Villa rental marketing
Maximum exposure for your villa through our specialised software and our network, promoted globally on the best platforms.
Guest handling
We take over all guest communication, so the same questions and troubles never reach you again.
A strictly local service
We only offer our services within 30 minutes' driving distance of our office, so we can be at your villa on short notice, all year round.
Finances, licences and tax
Our office handles your registrations and communicates directly with your accountant, making sure every tax regulation is followed.
