We arrived at our villa and were welcomed by our host who was extremely friendly and helpful throughout our stay. The villa and pool were both bigger than we expected. The location is idyllic for a serene and peaceful stay with beautiful sunsets and friendly local cats & kittens! There is very little to do in the immediate area so a hire car is essential but we found some beautiful beaches and tavernas just a short drive away.

Great Villa, great host, remote location but perfect for a relaxing family holiday.
Very spacious and clean, great views. Nice little taverna 2min walk. Elafonisi Beach 15min drive and Falarsana Beach 45min drive. 2 of the greatest beaches on the island - lots of water sport activities for families- we did a windsurfing course and a wave riding course with Surf Island. Very good!
Superbe séjour en Crête La villa est située dans une zone assez retirée donc très au calme.Elle reste malgré tout à proximité de la sublime plage d'Elafonisi, et des principales commodités.Vue sur mer et couchers de soleil exceptionnels.Terrasse et piscine très agréables.Logement bien équipé .
La maison est spacieuse avec 4 grandes chambres et 4 salle de bains. La piscine est grande. L'endroit est très calme. On peut se baigner dans la mer à 3 minutes en voiture de la maison. Il y a deux tavernes dans le village.
Et d'autres à 10-15 minutes en voiture. Le premier supermarché est à 15 minutes. on est un peu loin de tout, mais ce que nous avons apprécié.
Le mobilier est plutôt vieillot avec un petit lave-vaisselle et peu de vaisselle. Le prix de la location est un peu dessus de sa valeur.
Les jolies plages d'Elafonisi et de Kedrodasos sont à 15-20 minutes.
Abbiamo trascorso una settimana in questa magnifica villa, pulita e dotata di tutti i comfort. La posizione è tranquilla, comoda alla spiaggia di elafonissi. Le due terrazze offrono una vista stupenda sul mare.
