This place has not a bad bone in it, neither does Elounda generally. From the moment you’re welcomed by Takis, the owner of the villa, you feel like you’ve been in Crete your whole life. The moment we walked into the house and saw the views, we were completely breath taken. The house is better than the pictures. There’s now an additional two beds in a further room downstairs that has a slide in it, down to a play pit. It’s magical for kids. Just magical. The pool was so well maintained, cleaned daily and the views again are simply unforgettable. They stocked the fridge with necessary items for us and they went above and beyond in every way. We will come back here any day and we can’t thank the owner enough for having us. The place is just like the pics and better. You will need a car but that goes for any villa in Elounda. Enjoy!!

Elounda is a lovely town with incredibly friendly people and the villa was perfect for exploring the local area. Sat up on the hills of the town the views were beautiful. The owner has thought about everything and if there is anything you need while you are there ( restaurant recommendations, advice, watersports sessions) then he is your man to talk to. He was so welcoming and available he made the two weeks even better. Would highly recommend this villa to anyone wanting a little peace and luxury in Elounda.

Thank you Takis we loved it. I do not often write reviews but this was worth a 5* review.

Is a beautiful villa with glorious views across Elounda - At sunrise colours were out of this world and during the day, hours slipped by sitting by the pool taking in the view. The villa was very well maintained and kept beautifully clean by the housekeeping and pool staff throughout the week. Takis our host was exceptionally generous; the fridge and cupboards were filled with wonderful Greek goodies, juices, Nespresso and wine. Our youngest son had his 14th birthday during our stay and Takis arranged for a traditional Cretian birthday cake to be delivered on the day, candles as well- superb cake fantastic host. The villa is more than adequately provided space for 4 adults and 5 teenagers. Writing this review makes me sad we had to leave!

My family stayed here in July for my daughters graduation trip. I am always nervous staying somewhere I have never been. I worry that it won't live up to the description and the photos you see on line. When we arrived at the Villa we were stunned and amazed. Pictures did not do it justice. Everything was perfect and the highest quality possible. It was way more than we ever expected. We had 4 college age kids with us and they were in heaven. The best part about the entire trip was the hospitality offered to us by the owner. Taki. He went above and beyond was was expected of him. He took us around town and introduced to some of the locals and from then on were were treated like royalty. He arranged several day trips. Our favorite was the entire day on the sailboat with a crew. Best day ever. Thanks Harris and Angel. I would return to this villa over and over again.

He also filled the fridge with essentials so we didn’t need to run to the shops straight away. The villa is beautiful and very well-equipped. Ideally, you need a car to get to the local beaches and nearby town.
