Villa Elia

Location was beautiful however there were issues during our stay. Whilst being in amongst wildlife in a rural setting is amazing, waking up every morning to find Peacock excrement all over the door steps and around the pool was not what I expected. The pool itself was shallow, falling apart and always cold despite 32 degree air temps every day. We couldn't use it. Owners were friendly and the kids enjoyed the nearby chickens and horses, but otherwise our stay was a big disappointment.

We loved our time in Crete in this lovely villa. Beautiful views and peaceful location. It was so nice not to be overlooked at all and the only sounds to be those of the goats and local farm traffic. We found the accommodation very comfortable. The pool is small and perfect for cooling off. When we needed a sun umbrella, Nikos was really good at ensuring we had one within 48 hours. Absolutely perfect for us. Highly recommended.

This is a great place for a small family to spend a few days in the mountains of Crete. It’s very clean, modern and in good repair. The pool is perfect for cooling off and hanging out. It’s really close to good food and interesting things to do (Spili, Mixorrouma & beaches).

We had a great stay at Villa Elia. The location and surrounding are fantastic. Great nature with a perfect view. The house is really cozy and the host was really kind. We’ll come back

Genau das Haus, welches wir gesucht haben! Fantastische, abgeschiedene Lage mit allem, was man braucht. Sehr herzliche Gastgeber, von deren Erzeugnissen (Wein, Raki und frische Eier) wir uns überzeugen konnten. Es gibt auch einige Tiere, wie Katzen, Pferde, Schafe, Frösche und einen Pfau. Von hier aus kann man tolle Ausflüge machen, z. B. in das Amari-Becken, zum Kloster Preveli, die Messara-Ebene mit Görtys und Phaistos, nach Agia Galini und und und. Das nächste größere Dorf Spili bietet genug Tavernen. Wir haben uns hier sauwohl gefühlt und können das Haus nur empfehlen!!!
