We stayed at Elpiniki and Dimitri’s breathtaking Villa 3 during our stay in Crete. I couldn’t believe it when Niki told us the place had been in operation since 2021 it looked brand new. The place is pristine and so well maintained. What a pleasant surprise Niki even welcomed us with a fridge full of groceries and Raki. I can say that the pictures really don’t do it justice - the house really surpassed our expectations. The pool was great to have and and seemed to wrap around the house like a moat. With all windows open house inside feels like it’s outdoors and the sunshine washes over the space. There are some great restaurants around the area so you don’t need to travel too far to enjoy some of the best food of the region. I suggest taking out and enjoying dinner by the pool as we did one night. I would highly recommend a stay at this Villa. We will be back! Thank you Niki and Dimitri. Σας ευχαριστώ

This villa is phenomenal, this is by far the best villa we have ever stayed in. The quality and attention to detail are second to none. The hospitality and efficiency from the owners has been amazing from the minute we made the booking. From the airport transfer to the stocked fridge on arrival, our expectations were exceeded when we realised the cleaning staff come every three days, towels are changed, fridge re stocked. The pool is the exceptionally well maintained. Please however, go for a drink on the beach front and enjoy the sunset but then you must take yourself away from the insta gram, over priced restaurants and go to Analipsi Village for true Cretian hospitality, the restaurant and bars here are first class, so reasonably priced for good quality food.
