Villa Elena Crete

Fantastic property, clean, above and beyond, everything you need at your fingertips. Very friendly hosts who couldn’t do enough to ensure you have a great holiday

The villa matched all the descriptions and promises. It was well-equipped, with functioning air conditioning in the bedrooms and an excellent pool area. The location was ideal for holidaymakers traveling by car. Yiannis was a caring host who ensured everything met our wishes and needs. His mother, Maria, greeted us upon arrival and had prepared a delicious homemade meal as a welcome gesture. We were very satisfied with our accommodation and holiday at Villa Elena.

The stay started with being greeted with a home cooked dinner of oven roasted chicken and vegetables with a yummy dessert. After just over 24 hours of traveling this was so appreciated and just what we needed to start the two weeks.The Villa is beautiful and the support from the owner and his family and friends for any issues was wonderful to know we had should we need it. The recommendation to use Yannis at SevenCar Rental was exactly the type of local knowledge that you need when you are visiting a new area. The villa is perfectly located for exploring the island whether you want to go East, West or South and the town of Rethymno is a perfect town for shopping, chilling or eating. There are several great restaurants within a short drive. The outdoor oven with a supply of wood is a great option for cooking for yourself.And no review would be complete without mentioning the 4 legged tourist ambassador that greats you every time you come back to your home from home - Bella was the perfect bundle of energy that bounced around to say hi and brought a bigger smile to our faces.Thank you Yannis for sharing your villa with us and we look forward to staying again.

First have to mention the responsiveness and friendliness of Yiannis in welcoming us with a home-cooked meal and giving lots of tips, etc. Above and beyond expectations. The pool area is great for kids and clean, the grill works great, and you can even monitor the kids from one of the balconies. Kitchen is well-equipped (which is often not the case in these types of properties) and rooms are clean and comfortable. Rethymno is an easy 15-20min drive, and you have nice access to some of the mountain towns and hikes in Rethymnon as well. Recommended!
